A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Camila nodded, her eyes fixed on Connor “Will he die? Will you be in trouble?” Although Tucker’s demise wouldn’t be a loss, society was govered by law, and she didn’t wish to see Connor face prison because of her.

“I don’t know if he’ll die, but I won’t be in trouble. My family has some connections, Connor said lightly.

“Thank you” Camila said, her eyes brimming with gratitude.

Connor chuckled softly. “Tm your boss. The company is responsible for your safely.”

He paused, then asked, “Do you have a place to go?”

Camila patted her jeans pocket, frowning slightly.

“Your phone is in my coat,” Connor mentioned,

“Why would my phone be with you?” Camila looked puzzled.

“You left it in the car.”

“Were you bringing my phone to me?” Camila was surprised.

Connor hummed in affirmation

“Thank you…sic

Camila then called Erica. Im going to stay at a friend’s tonight. She lives at Willowbrook Estate, Camila said.

Connor rolled down the car window, “To Willowbrook Estate.”

It wasn’t long before they reached Erica’s place, which was nearby. Camila looked down at her bare feet, embarrassed.

“Here, wear these,” Connor tossed her a pair of men’s slippers.

“It’s a long story,” Camila exhaled deeply.

“What exactly happened?” Erica pulled Camila to sit on the sofa.

Pain crossed Camilas face as she

lled the recent events, still feeling the aftershock. Just as she mentioned Tucker’s attempt to assault her, Erica leaped up, grabbing a kitchen knife from the table, flames nearly bursting from her eyes. “That b a s t a r d! I’ll skin him alive!”

Camila quickly held her back. “I haven’t finished yet…

She told Erica the whole story. Erica slapped her thigh, her face full of admiration. “I had no idea Connor had it in him. He’s really risen in my estimation! You should really thank him properly!”

Camila’s brows furrowed deeply, her eyes filed with worry, her hands tightly clasped. “Erica, I’m scared… could Mr. Connor end up in jail?”

“Surely not?” Erica said uncertainly, then, after a moment’s thought, suggested, “Maybe ask Wesley?”
