A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 332

Claire called.

“Cami, Cole and I checked the calendar and today seemed perfect, so we decided to go get our marriage license.”

Camila’s face lit up with joy. “What? That’s so sudden! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I would’ve taken the day off to come back.”

“We wanted to keep it low-key, no big fuss,” Claire explained. “We’re planning a small family dinner tonight to celebrate. You should bring Connor along.”

Camila held her phone, her expression clouded with worry. She knew tonight was significant for her mother, but...

“Mom, he has a meeting tonight. He can’t make it.” She tried to sound casual, not wanting her mom to know about their rough patch.

There was a brief pause on the other end before Claire spoke again, “That’s okay, work comes first. It’s our fault for not giving you a heads up about the license. Can you come tonight?”

“Yeah, I’ll head over right after work!” Camila replied with a smile.

“Great! I’ll call Erica and invite her too,” Claire said happily.

After hanging up, Camila dove back into work mode. Her computer screen was cluttered with data and documents. She was constantly tweaking plans and optimizing figures, racing to finish her tasks as quickly as possible.

During lunch, Camila brought Connor his meal.

“Cami...” Connor called out gently.

Camila kept her distance, replying coolly, “Mr. Connor, what do you need?”

Connor stood up and slowly walked over, softly asking, “Join me for lunch, please?”
