He took the elegant box, opened it with anticipation, and the mysterious violet hue immediately caught his eye. Connor gazed at the bracelet, his joy obvious as he pictured Camila wearing it.A small smile tugged at his lips as he pressed the intercom.Before long, Camila entered his office.Connor smiled warmly as he approached her, whispering, “Let’s go to the lounge.”Camila’s cheeks turned a faint pink, and she frowned slightly. “Mr. Connor, I still have work to finish. I should go.”Ever since their relationship began, Connor often used work as an excuse to call her into his office for some affectionate moments.Every time Camila walked in, he would frost the glass walls, making their privacy a ticking clock before someone noticed.Camila had forbidden him from frosting the walls anymore.Noticing her serious expression, a playful glint appeared in Connor’s eyes. “I just wanted to give you a gift, are you overthinking it?” Camila’s blush deepened, and she shot him a slightly annoyed look.Connor watched her pout, his heart fluttering.He chuckled softly, “It’s lunchtime, no one’s around. Giving you a gift here should be fine, right?”Camila glanced outside at the dark and quiet workspace.She pursed her lips and turned towards the lounge.Connor followed her, amused by her slightly shy manner.He picked up the elegant box from his desk and walked behind her to the lounge.Inside, Connor gently closed the door.He handed the box to Camila, “A gift, I hope you like it.”Camila opened the box and saw the violet jade bracelet.Her eyes lit up with surprise and emotion as she carefully picked up the bracelet, examining it closely. “This color… it’s so unique.” She looked up at Connor with a bright smile, “Thank you, I really love it.” Seeing Camila’s radiant smile, Connor felt a surge of happiness.He gently offered, “Let me put it on for you.”Camila nodded softly and extended her hand.Connor picked up the bracelet and gently placed it on Camila’s wrist.The bracelet fit perfectly, snug against Camila’s skin.The violet stood out strikingly against her pale wrist, like a blooming flower, beautiful and elegant.”Does it look good?” Camila asked, smiling.”Beautiful, it suits you perfectly.” Connor nodded, gently holding Camila’s hand.As their hands touched, the bracelet and his watch clinked together, making a crisp, pleasant sound.This sound made Camila a bit nervous.She immediately clutched the bracelet on her wrist, worry flickering in her eyes, “Is this bracelet expensive?”Her hand suddenly hesitated to move freely, fearing it might get knocked.Connor saw her nervous demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head, “It’s not too expensive, just over a thousand. If it breaks, I’ll get you another one.”
