A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 210

Connor's eyes were dark, his gaze lingering on the cigarette in his hand.

Alan watched him, silent.

Connor took a lighter, lit the cigarette, and took a drag.

"Avoid this kind of situation in the future. I don't want similar issues affecting the normal operations of the company," he said, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Understood," Alan nodded.

Despite the trending topic being pulled from the charts, the buzz about Haylie and Conner continued to ferment on social media.

Haylie still hadn’t received a follow-back from Connor.

As closing time neared, Connor emerged from the conference room, looking exhausted.

Camila, sitting at her desk, felt his gaze.

She looked up, meeting his eyes.

Those eyes seemed to harbor a touch of melancholy.

"Camila, book a table at the Royal Bistro for 6:30. I’ll be dining with Parker and the others," Connor's voice was low and slightly raspy.

Camila nodded, "Okay."

Connor walked a few steps, his hand in his pocket, then turned back to look at her, "You are coming, too."

Camila was stunned.

It was usually Alan who entertained clients like Parker from the brokerage firm. Connor rarely attended.

She watched Connor for a few seconds, then quietly agreed.

Connor returned to the conference room.

After booking the restaurant, Camila texted Connor the reservation details.

She looked towards the conference room, puzzled.

Alan was also there. A simple instruction would have sufficed. Why did he personally come out to ask her to book the restaurant?

Ten minutes later, the conference room door opened.

The group headed toward the elevator, Alan gesturing for Camila to follow.
