A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 256

Time had slipped by unnoticed for several hours.

Camila woke up, sensing someone in the living room. As she entered, she saw Connor deeply immersed in his work. He sat on the couch. The light from his laptop screen reflected in his deep eyes, casting an aura of focused charm.

“When did you get back?” Camila asked softly.

“Not long ago.” Connor looked up. His eyes met Camila’s, and a smile graced his lips. “I picked up some food on my way back, it’s in the fridge now.”

“Thanks,” Camila responded gently.

“Yeah. I didn’t want to wake you, so I just let myself in with the code,” Connor explained. “Just finished some work.”

“Why don’t you work from home office instead of the couch? It’s much more comfortable.” Camila furrowed her brows slightly, and her tone was laced with concern.

Connor set aside his work, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. He walked over to Camila, leaning in to whisper, “I just wanted to be near you.”

Their eyes locked, and the air was charged with an unspoken romantic tension.

Camila felt her heartbeat quicken, and Connor seemed to convey his feelings through his gaze. The romantic tension made her slightly nervous, so she changed the subject.

“What did you buy?” She asked quietly, turning her head slightly to avoid Connor’s intense stare.

Connor just smiled, not calling her out on her diversion. He led her to the fridge. “Open it and see.”

Camila did as told, and the fridge was filled with a variety of desserts. Her eyes widened in surprise. “Wow, mille-feuille, fruit tarts, molten lava cake...”

Connor watched her reaction, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. “I know you love sweets, so I went and packed some to bring back, hoping you’d like them.”
