A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 365

"Cami, look at you, all bold and brave now. I was both shocked and proud of you today," Craig said to Camila with a smile.

Camila laughed softly, "With you all as my rock, I'm fearless."

"Exactly, we're all here for you, nothing to fear," Craig nodded, beaming with pride.

Claire glanced at the dinner table and chuckled, "Looks like this meal is a no-go."

Cole looked at the messy table and couldn't help but laugh as well.

He clapped his hands and said with a burst of enthusiasm, "Let's hit a restaurant! It's time for a nice family dinner."

After dinner, Connor finished work and came to pick up Camila.

As she got into the car, a mysterious smile played on her lips.

Noticing her expression, Connor asked curiously, "You seem in a good mood?"

Instead of a direct answer, Camila winked mysteriously and teased, "Guess what happened."

"Did something good happen?" Connor inquired.

Thinking of cousin Craig's comical distress earlier, Camila couldn't help but laugh, "I smacked a pie right on someone's head today."

Connor's smile faded a bit as his eyes darkened with concern, "Who's giving you trouble?"

"Don't worry so much, no need for revenge," Camila said, blinking playfully at Connor.

She continued, "It was just some trash talk, and I took care of it right there and then."

Connor frowned slightly, barely noticeable, and asked softly, "What exactly happened?"

Even though Camila said she had handled it, the fact that she felt slighted bothered him.

Camila briefly explained the situation, and as Connor listened, his gaze turned steely.

Someone dared to be rude to Camila, and he couldn't help being angry.

She glared at him and exclaimed, "You can't just skip meals like this, it's bad for your health!"

"Do you really need to ask about my health?" Connor replied in a low voice.

As they ate, he opened a bottle of wine and poured two glasses.

"Join me for a drink."

Camila eyed him warily, having just set a rule about moderation that morning, knowing all too well her poor tolerance for alcohol.

"Trying to get me drunk?"

Connor honestly nodded with a laugh.

He could never forget how enchanting and irresistible she looked slightly tipsy.

Camila sipped a little, then poured the rest of her glass into his.
