A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 340

"Just keep it," Connor said, slipping the card into her pocket.

"You're something else..." Camila could feel the card's weight like a ton of bricks. She quickly tried to hand it back, her voice firm, "I really don’t need it. My salary covers everything."

Connor watched her with a slight frown.

He gently took her hand, looking into her eyes with a soft gaze. "Cami, this isn't about giving or charity. I just want to show you my commitment, my intention to be with you forever."

"I get it, really," Camila said with a small smile. "I have enough for myself. If I ever need extra, I promise I'll ask, okay?"

Connor gazed deeply at her, understanding her pride and independence. He knew pushing the card on her would only make things awkward.

So, he relented and nodded gently.

After a moment of thought, Camila winked playfully. "I was thinking about grabbing some essentials at the supermarket after work. Think my boyfriend might cover it?"

Connor's face lit up. With a grand gesture, he waved his hand. "Of course, get whatever you want. I'd buy the whole supermarket for you if I could!"

Camila burst out laughing at his enthusiasm. "Then I won't hold back!"

After work, they strolled hand in hand to the supermarket.
