Chapter 248
Connor's eyes darkened. His piercing gaze narrowed slightly with a dangerous glimmer, exuding a strong sense of aggression. John recognized the tall, imposing man in front of him as Camila’s boss. With a slight furrow of his brows, he asked, “Are you looking for Camila?” Connor did not speak for a long while.
John's eyelids twitched. He sensed the dangerous aura enveloping the man before him. The aura radiating from this man exerted an invisible pressure on him.
He swallowed, tentatively asking. “Camila is taking a shower. Would you like to come in?
Connor's pupils contracted, and his gaze turned exceptionally cold and piercing. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke in a deep voice, “No, thank you.” He turned and left.
As John watched his retreating figure, a chill rose from the depths of his heart, causing him to shudder involuntarily. He closed the door and returned inside.
“Who was it?” Craig asked. ‘It was Camila’s boss. Not sure what it was about. John replied, shivering again at the mention of Connor.
‘I hear Cami’s job is really demanding. She often has to work late into the night.” Craig sighed. “The dining table’s covered in documents. She really has it tough.”
In the bathroom.
Camila lathered her body with body wash, rinsing over and over again. It took a while before she felt the scent start to fade. She changed into clean clothes and went to the bedroom where Drew was sleeping.
“How's he doing?”
“He’s asleep. He'll be fine after some rest,” Craig said.
“Thank you guys,” Camila said gratefully. “Sorry for the trouble.”
“Don't mention it.” Craig shook his head. “We're just a bit worried about you.”
“You guys go ahead. I'm fine here,” Camila said. “Drew's also asleep.”
Camila smiled, “Thanks for your help tonight. I really appreciate it.
"No need for thanks,” Craig said, looking: at Camila. "You're my sister after-all.” He then glanced at Drew. ‘And he’s practically my brother.”
Camila nodded with a smile.
They all walked to the door, and John suddenly stopped, saying, “Your boss came by earlier. You still have work at this hour?”
Camila paused, and her smile faltered slightly.
= “Yeah, just some work-related issues to handle.”
“We'll head out then,” Craig said. “Call us anytime if you need help.”
Camila smiled as she saw them out and closed the door. She took a deep breath and went to Drew's bedroom to tuck him in properly. The guests had left, and Camila changed back into her pajamas, starting to tidy up the living room
