Chapter 19

Soon, a pot of c r e a m y seafood chowder was served Chopped green onions and cilantro were placed in two separate small bowls

The server dished out the chowder to each of the three.

Connor scooped some green onions into his bowl. Alan followed suit and then passed the spoon to Camilla “Camila, here you go.”

“No, thank you” Camila shook her head.

Alan gave a meaningful “Oh, placing the spoon back into the bowl of green onions. Camila avoided his gaze, keeping her head down. Alan stealthily glanced at the boss, who was slowly savoring the chowder, seemingly indifferent to their exchange.

Meanwhile, Camila pretended to be busy devouring her chowder, but it was too hot and scalded her tongue. She slightly stuck out her tongue to cool it off.

“Could I get a glass of ice-cold milk, please?” Connor called over a server.

“Make it lactose-free,” Alan added, thinking Connor wanted the milk himself

“Are you lactose intolerant?” Connor turned to ask Comila.

Camila, locking confused, shook her head.

“No need, Connor said expressionlessly.

Soon, a glass of ice-cold milk was placed in front of Connor

“For the lady.” Connor said, nodding toward Camila as he gently forked some greens into his mouth

Camila was surprised that it was ordered for her and hesitated before taking it, “Thank you!

She took a sip, and the pain on her tongue finally eased. She hadn’t expected Connor to notice she’d burned herself with the chowder.

Alan watched them with a gossip-hungry look, slightly thrilled.
