Camila blinked, finally making sense of the tangled relationships in Connor’s family. “No wonder you guys don’t get along.”Connor’s gaze was deep and intense as he spoke slowly. “In a big family like ours, we tend to keep things superficial. Beneath the surface, it’s a different story. Does that scare you?” Looking up into his eyes, Camila whispered softly, “As long as you’re here, I’m not scared.”Connor’s stern expression melted, and with a gentle touch, he lifted her chin and kissed her deeply.***The new year was just around the corner.In Connor’s office.Camila had just finished giving her work report and mentioned she was going out for dinner with friends that evening when suddenly, Connor’s handsome face was right in front of hers.Camila tried to pull away, but the more she resisted, the more passionately he kissed her.Their colleagues outside the office could peek in and catch a glimpse of their intimate moment.Camila was nervous.”Let go of me.”Connor raised his head slightly and led her into the lounge.

If we don’t meet today, we’ll meet another day.”Connor frowned, clearly unhappy about her meeting any man.With a grim face, he said, “Come home early tonight.”Camila wrapped her arms around his neck, blinking playfully. Despite Connor being a few years older and a hard-nosed businessman, he was childishly immature in private.She spoke to him soothingly, “I’ll come home early.”He pecked her lips lightly, murmuring an agreement.Camila gave him a gentle push, “Go back to work, I have to get busy too.”Connor was silent for a moment before saying, “I don’t want to work.”Laughing, Camila replied, “And how will you pay my salary if you don’t work?”Connor’s lips curved slightly, and he pulled her into his embrace, “Just recharging for five minutes.”Camila laughed heartily, “That’ll keep me going all day.”Five minutes later, Camila walked out of Connor’s office and quickly got back to her desk, diving into work.As soon as it was time to leave, Camila cheerfully packed her things.Connor sat in his chair, watching her through the glass, his mood somber. “Seeing other men makes you this happy?”Feeling Connor’s gaze, Camila blew him a kiss.Connor caught it with his hand and pressed it to his lips.Camila laughed, “Childish.”Her phone rang; it was Erica, alreadyherirs.
