A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 180

A man watched Camila at a distance as she sipped her wine, her charm and beauty captivating. Without much thought, he found himself seated in the lounge area, pouring more wine into Camila's glass.

Camila had a tipsy sparkle in her eyes. She asked Erica with a soft voice, "Erica, why aren't you drinking?"

Erica glanced at Camila and gently smiled, "You drink. I'll watch over you."

Soon, Camila felt dizzy, rubbing her forehead but still feeling lightheaded. Her discomfort grew under the harsh lights, so she slowly stood up from the couch.

Erica immediately got up to support her toward the restroom.

Connor caught a glimpse and paused, slightly stunned. He recognized that slender silhouette, her dress skimming over her legs.

"Excuse me for a moment," he said, not waiting for Haylie to respond. He quickly walked in Camila's direction.

"Excuse me, please," he said as he made his way through the crowd.

"What's with him? Why the rush?" someone standing next to Haylie asked in surprise.

Haylie just shook her head.

Erica helped Camila to the dimly lit corridor. Leaning against the wall, Camila took deep breaths. She was too dizzy to walk further.

"Come on... It's okay, I'm here with you. Forget Connor; plenty more fish in the sea," Erica comforted her.

Camila pursed her lips, her bright eyes brimming with tears as she tried to hold them back. "Erica, I was just fooling myself..." she said, sadly mocking herself.

Her head spun more and more, and she nearly lost consciousness.

Suddenly, someone in the dark grabbed her arm. Camila was dazed and turned her head, only noticing that the man before her was incredibly handsome as if he had appeared in her life before.
