Chapter 297
Camila gently shook her head.
"Before we were together, you used to come and have lunch in my office too," Connor said, holding her hand, not wanting to let her ga.
The events of the morning were still fresh in her mind, and Camila wasn't sure they could eat without ending up kissing
With a sweet smile, Camila said, "Mr. Connor, please enjoy your meal. I'll step out for a while.”
Connor sighed in resignation and let go of her hand.
Camila returned to her desk, opened her lunch box, glanced at Connor in his office, and sent him a message. [Babe, lunchtime!]
When Connor received the message. his gloomy mood instantly lifted. He took his lunch box to his desk, watching Camila through the glass door. With a slight smile, he opened his lunch box. Whatever dish Camila picked, he would pick the same.
After finishing their meal, Camila picked up her phone and typed away. Predictably, Connor immediately checked his phone—it was indeed a message from her.
[Babe, I'm off to take a nap.]
Connor looked down, smiling, and replied, [Okay!]
Camila left her desk, leaving Connor feeling a bit empty. He picked up the cigarettes on his desk, but then remembered Camila disliked the smell. Taking the cigarette pack and lighter, he got up and walked out of the office, heading to the rooftop garden.

There was a bench on the other side of the roof, so he walked over, cigarette between his fingers
Suddenly, he heard whispers and laughter. He saw a young couple embracing each other, their faces filled with happiness and sweet smiles. Recognizing them as employees from the tech and operations departments, Connor paused.
Just then, the couple noticed him. They jumped up. hurriedly fixing their clothes and hair.
Connor watched their awkward, tense expressions and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The man spoke first, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. Connor..." His eyes were filled with fear and concern.
The woman looked down, too scared to meet Connor’s eyes, her hands tightly clasped together.
"Sorry to interrupt. You guys carry on," Connor said calmly. He turned to leave, giving them some privacy.
However, the man immediately spoke up. "Mr. Connor, it was me who pursued her. If you have to fire someone, let it be me.”

The couple looked at each other in confusion.
"What did Mr. Connor mean by that?" the woman asked.
The man just shook his head.
After the break, Connor called the administrative manager to his office

Seeing her troubled face, Camila approached and asked, "What's wrong? You look upset.”
