Connor glanced at Drew with a faint smile.
He knew Drew must have a lot of questions, but he didn’t answer right away. Instead, he led Drew into Cedarhill Estate.
Following Connor, Drew walked through the spacious lobby and entered the elevator.
“Do you live here?” Drew couldn’t help but ask.
“Let me properly introduce myself. I’m Connor, Camila’s boss, and yes, I do have feelings for her,” Connor said with a chuckle.
Drew hadn’t realized he was Camila’s boss and was a bit taken aback. He awkwardly looked down, unsure of what to say next.
“I’m still trying to win Camila over. I really like her,” Connor said earnestly, observing Drew’s reaction.
The elevator stopped at the garage, and Connor led the way out.
Drew followed. His eyes widened at the sight of luxury cars, especially a stretch Rolls-Royce that stood out.
“Wow, this car is limited edition in the country, right?” he exclaimed, moving closer to take a better look.
“Yeah, that’s my car. I didn’t bring the keys, but I’ll take you for a spin next time,” Connor said, unlocking a nearby Bentley.
Drew nodded, impressed by Connor’s wealth.
“Get in. I’ll give you a ride home,” Connor said, turning to Drew.
Once Drew was in the car, they slowly drove out of the garage.
Since finding out Connor was Camila’s boss, Drew felt uneasy, as if a sudden invisible wall had sprung up between them. He became reserved, unsure of what to say, worried that any misstep might trouble his cousin.
“You’re like a brother to me. It’s okay.” Connor said with a smile, looking ahead. “If you ever need help, just let me know.”
