The woman clutched Camila’s arm, her eyes welling up with tears, looking truly pitiful.A colleague from the secretarial pool came over, gently placing a hand on the woman’s shoulder.Mr. Connor isn’t heartless. I know the inside story. The company was already being kind by not suing them, she explained.Did they harm the company’s interests? Camila asked.Her colleague nodded.One was a finance manager, the other in procurement…Understanding dawned on Camila, and she reassured the woman, As long as you haven’t harmed the company’s interests, you shouldn’t worry too much.But… but Mr. Connor called Marissa to his office… the woman shook her head, her voice trembling.

Seeing her, Connor smiled.Uh… Camila approached his desk and asked softly, About the couple, what do you plan to do?Connor raised an eyebrow, smiling softly.
