A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Camila completely forgot to breathe, her face freezing in place as a piercing ringing echoed in her ears. She watched the moving lips of people around her, understanding nothing as if she were deaf.

Connor, with his long strides, was getting closer. In her sight, his tall figure gradually narrowed down to just his chest and above. She clearly saw his dark eyes flicker slightly, his lips tightly closed, his face devoid of any emotion.

He passed by her like a breeze.

Alan followed Connor into the CEO’s office, followed by the sound of the door closing softly.

Camila suddenly gasped for air breathing heavily as if to refill the oxygen she had missed. She collapsed weakly into a chair, her heart pounding violently.

It really was him! Why was she so unlucky?

Was the world really this small? Her one night stand was with her own boss!

She turned her head to glance at the closed door. Had Connor recognized her just now?

In the CEO’s office.

“Who is she?” Connor’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly

“Her?” Alan paused for half a second, realizing Connor was referring to Camila, and reported, “This is your new personal assistant, named Camila. She used to be the branch office manager, Mr. Cash’s assistant.”

Connor sat on the couch, one hand gently gripping his knee, the other running his fingers along the rim of his coffee mug, looking up at Alan. “You transferred her here?”

Yes,

Mr. Ray was aware that you had dismissed another personal assistant and was quite displeased. He called me over the weekend demanding a replacement within three days. HR couldn’t recruit in time. I’ve always heard that Mr. Cash’s assistant was meticulous and performed well, a real asset to him, and it turns out she’s also quite pleasing to the eye.”

Alan knew his face was not swayed by beauty, but he added that last comment anyway.
