As the workday drew to a close, Connor stepped out of his office and spoke softly. “Come on. I’ll take you somewhere special.”
Camila nodded, quickly packed her things, and left with him.
The elevator went straight to the parking garage.
Curious, Camila asked, “Isn’t Young coming?”
Connor gave a slight smile and shook his head. “I’m driving.”
He walked over to his familiar Bentley, opened the passenger door, and placed a hand on the car frame to prevent Camila from hitting her head.
Camila bent down to get in, buckled her seatbelt, and turned to him. Her eyes were full of curiosity. “Where are we going?”
Connor started the car and slowly drove out of the parking lot. His lips curled into a mysterious smile. “A place that will surprise you,” he teased, revealing no more.
Camila stared into his eyes, her curiosity deepened.
Eventually, the car stopped in front of a upscale restaurant. Connor parked the car, walked around to open the door for Camila.
As they approached the entrance of the restaurant, the maître d’ immediately came to greet them, “Mr. Connor, your private dining room is ready. Please follow me.”
Connor nodded slightly, indicating for him to lead the way. He turned to Camila and said softly, “Let’s go.”
They followed the maître d’ to the reserved private dining room.
The door to the dining room was gently pushed open, and the maître d’ made a welcoming gesture, “Please.”
A faint scent wafted through the air.
Only then did Camila realize she had overlooked Emily’s presence.
She quickly wiped her tears and turned to Emily. “I’m sorry, Emily. I got a bit carried away. I’m just so thrilled to meet Peter.” Her voice was full of apology and gratitude.
Emily burst into laughter. She understood the excitement and joy of a fan meeting their idol and shook her head with a smile. “It’s okay. I understand.”
“Let’s sit down,” Connor interjected timely. His tone was full of tenderness and consideration for Camila.
He extended his hand, leading Camila to her seat, his eyes filled with affection.
Camila took a deep breath, still somewhat in a daze, her heart still overflowing with joy and awe.
With Connor by her side, Camila slowly sat down.
