As soon as Camila felt the touch on her skin, she jolted and quickly pulled away, whispering, “Connor... we need to get up early tomorrow…”
Connor, nuzzling against her ear, murmured, “Cami…”
His husky voice was both restrained and enticing.
Camila felt herself melting, barely managing to whisper with the last of her rationality, “Tomorrow’s the company IPO, there will be lots of media there. You need to look fresh and energetic.”
Connor brushed his lips against her neck, his voice muffled as he complained, “You always have an excuse…”
Camila was nearly overwhelmed. On one hand, the bell-ringing ceremony tomorrow was indeed crucial; on the other, she felt a bit scared, remembering how intense it was last time.
Connor gently kissed her.
If they kept this up, things might get out of hand...
Taking the initiative, Camila kissed his cheek and whispered, “Goodnight.”
Struggling to her feet, she trotted to the bedroom door, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, “Mr. Connor, staying up late might affect your performance. You should sleep early.”
Connor’s eyelids flickered, and he sighed softly, “Does it matter? It’s not like it’s being used anyway...”
Camila’s smile turned sheepish as she quietly responded, “Just because it’s not used now, doesn’t mean...”
Her words trailed off as her face heated up, and with a bang, the door closed.
Connor sat back on the couch, calling out, “When, exactly?”
***
The next day.
The overcast weather at Angelhaven Point finally cleared, replaced by a clear, sunlit sky that seemed to celebrate the upcoming grand event.
The team arrived at the stock exchange, faces filled with excitement and anticipation.
