A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 393

The holiday season had finally kicked off.

Camila was deep in sleep when her phone's incessant ringing yanked her awake. She barely opened her eyes before Connor reached over her, grabbing the phone from the nightstand.

Without even checking the caller ID, Connor answered, eyes still closed and voice heavy with sleep, "Hello...?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a familiar, gentle voice said, "When is Cami coming home?"

The mention of "Cami" jolted Connor awake.

He quickly passed the phone to Camila, who was still groggy and responded with a sleepy, "Hmm?"

"It's me, dear. Are you still asleep?" Claire's voice came through.

Camila snapped to attention, instantly awake. "I'm up, Mom. I'll be home soon."

As soon as the call ended, Camila turned to Connor with a hint of annoyance. "Why'd you answer my phone?"

Connor, still a bit foggy from the night before, rubbed his temples. "Did I say anything?"

"How would I know?" Camila grumbled.

Connor pulled her back into his arms, whispering, "We're a couple. It's not like we're doing anything wrong. Your mom will understand."

Camila sighed and tried to get out of bed, but Connor pulled her back for another round of morning love.

Afterwards, she playfully hit him. "I really need to go home."

"I'll drive you," Connor offered.

Camila rolled her eyes but let him coax her all the way to the garage with kisses and sweet talk.
