Many of her colleagues had been tagging her.
Camila glanced through their chat messages, then looked up at Connor, who was leisurely enjoying his breakfast.
Sure enough, as soon as the workday started, department heads began seeking out Camila.
[Camila, could you please remind the boss to sign off on this?]
[My contract, please, please…]
Rubbing her temples, Camila reluctantly stood up and made her way to Connor's office.
She knocked softly.
"Come in."
Camila stepped into the office and immediately noticed him sitting at his desk, poring over documents. His collar was slightly open, and his tie was absent today.
"Mr. Connor, there are a few urgent documents that need your signature," Camila said.
"Alright." Connor looked up at her, his voice gentle.
Camila rifled through the papers on his desk and handed them to him. "Here are the documents, Mr. Connor."
Connor took the papers from her, quickly flipped through them, and signed them.
"All done."
"Thank you, Mr. Connor." Camila took the documents back.
She glanced at the coffee table where his breakfast lay. "Mr. Connor, I'll drop these off at the departments and then come back to clear the table."
"Let the cleaning staff handle it," Connor said, his voice always so gentle.
"Okay." Camila nodded, then turned and left.
After leaving the office, she distributed the documents to the various departments.
"Camila, what would I do without you? I can’t thank you enough!"
"That’s great! Alan was too nervous to ask yesterday, but you always know how to handle things."
Camila smiled wryly.
"Mr. Connor has been processing documents today; yours were just ready, so I brought them right over."
