A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 396

Camila peered through the car window, trying to make out the face of the figure dressed in black. The night was too dark, and the rain blurred everything.

The figure pulled out a cellphone and made a call. Just then, Craig's phone rang unexpectedly. He glanced at the screen; it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated, but then answered.

"Hello, is this Mr. Craig? I'm delivering a meal from Mr. Connor," said a somewhat gruff voice on the other end.

Craig paused, and the figure in black turned the phone toward him, showing he was the caller.

Craig said, "Stay in the car, don’t open the door."

He got out of the car alone. The figure handed him two insulated food containers. "I'm Joe, the village head from Oakville. The town council asked me to bring you hot meals."

"Thank you," Craig said, taking the containers. "Did Connor contact the town council?"

Joe nodded. "Yeah, he reached out to them, and they gave me your license plate and phone number, told me to get you some food ASAP."

Craig sighed in relief, "Thanks a lot, I appreciate it."

Joe smiled, "No problem. I got here in 20 minutes on my bike; our village is closest to this highway. We just finished cooking dinner. It’s just simple home cooking, hope you don’t mind."

"Not at all, thank you so much," Craig said, shaking Joe's hand.

Joe added, "You should get back in the car; it’s still raining. Don’t want you catching a cold. I’ve got to get back for dinner too."

With that, Joe disappeared into the rainy night.
