A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 223

Connor abruptly stood up, with urgency in his voice. “I need to go right now.”

He quickly ended the call and turned to Camila. “Camila, something urgent has come up. You take the driver’s car to work.”

Camila nodded.

In a rush, Connor grabbed his keys and dashed out without even putting on his jacket.

Watching his figure disappear at the door, Camila couldn’t help but worry. Suddenly, she lost her appetite. She gathered her things and went to the office with the driver.

All the way there, she wondered. What could have happened to make him so hurried?

It wasn’t until Camila was in the elevator that she overheard.

“Capital Solutions has crashed! Damn! My cousin lost tens of thousands - it’s all gone! I could cry!”

“My God! Who would have thought such a big financial firm could go under!”

“What are we going to do now?”

Camila’s heart tightened, and she quickly pulled out her phone. Her fingers trembled as she started checking her messages one by one.

[Capital Solutions is suspected of illegal fundraising and has been sealed. Investors should report to the authorities immediately.]

When she saw this message, her heart sank.

Her cousin Drew...

She immediately called Drew, but was met with the chilling automated response, “The number you’ve dialed is switched off...”

The elevator doors opened.

Camila hurried out, crossed the bustling office area, and returned to her desk. She began to search for news about Capital Solutions.

When she opened Twitter, the news of Capital Solutions’ collapse was dominating half of the trending topics list.

#Haylie committed suicide

#Connor rushed Haylie to the hospital

#Haylie’s fiance’s company crashes

So, he rushed out because of Haylie...

Camila shook her head; right now, her cousin’s situation was the most pressing concern.
