"Can't believe it's not her! So, who is it then?"
The executives' curiosity was fully ignited as they speculated about the identity of Connor's girlfriend. Connor had always been a mysterious, low-key figure, rarely discussing his private life. But now, he had suddenly showcased the cufflinks his girlfriend had given him during a meeting, making everyone intensely curious about who she might be.
"But seriously, Mr. Connor's girlfriend is one lucky lady. Connor's got the looks, the body, and the money—finding someone like him is like finding a unicorn!" one female executive exclaimed.
"Too bad for you, though," another executive teased.
"Give it a rest, I'm happily married!" she retorted, rolling her eyes.

Back in his office, Camila followed Connor inside and shut the door behind them.
Camila threw her blazer at Connor, her teeth clenched. "Why didn’t you just say your girlfriend is me?"
Connor caught the blazer, a hint of joy on his face despite Camila’s angry look. "Could I?" he asked tentatively.
"Are you kidding me?!" Camila shot him an annoyed look. "We agreed to keep it private!"
Connor murmured, looking a bit hurt. "They asked where the cufflinks came from, and I just answered honestly that I had a girlfriend. That doesn’t break our agreement, does it?”
Camila glanced at him. "With that proud look on your face, it was obvious you were just waiting for someone to ask! Connor, you're practically shouting it from the rooftops!"
"Oh, I just got carried away for a moment," Connor admitted, touching his nose.
