The sound of knocking startled Camila. She opened her eyes and pushed Connor away, a shy blush spreading across her cheeks.
Lowering her head, she quickly walked to the office door, took a deep breath, and opened it.
"Oh, Camila, you’re here," Alan said.
Camila’s heart was still racing. She kept her head down, too shy to look at Alan, and replied softly, "I’ve finished reporting my work," before hurriedly leaving the office.
Connor walked to his desk, his gaze darkening as he looked at Alan. His eyes were dark and cold, seeming even colder than the weather outside, causing Alan to shiver.
Alan sneaked a glance at Connor and thought, Bad timing! He shouldn’t have come now!
He nervously continued with his work report, while Connor didn’t even look up, flipping through documents.
As Alan finished, he pulled out a couple of tissues and handed them to Connor, saying, "Mr. Connor, you might want to use these."
Connor slowly looked up, slightly furrowing his brows.
Alan cleared his throat and added, "You’ve got some lipstick... on you."
Connor paused, then took the tissues and wiped his mouth. Seeing the red stain on the tissue, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
"Mr. Connor, so you and Camila..." Alan began to ask.
Mentioning Camila softened Connor’s expression considerably. He nodded and said, "Keep it under wraps."
"Understood. Next time just let me know if Camila is in your office, so I won’t barge in like this," Alan joked.
"Get out," Connor glared at him.
Alan laughed, leaving with the documents, and thought to himself how hard it was for the two to finally get together.
Hearing the door open, Camila immediately lowered her head and started typing.
