A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47

A woman in a pink miniskirt approached Camila with a smirk of disdain on her face. Camila’s brows furrowed, a sense of wariness in her heart.

“I didn’t expect to see you here,” the woman said as she reached Camila, glancing at the man beside her with malicious intent. “Boyfriend?”

“Don’t know him,” Camila replied coolly.

“So, now you do?” The man extended his hand, smiling.

“Sorry, I’m working, and I’m not interested in acting,” Camila said, not taking his hand.

“How ungrateful!” The man, his hand still hanging in the air, left in a huff, embarrassed and angry.

Tabitha, who is this?” someone asked.

S

Tabitha curled her lips into a sneer. “Her? She’s my half–sister,” she said, looking at Camila. “Is your mom still running that shop?”

Everyone looked over, their eyes filled with mockery.

Tabitha’s family owned a chain of grocery stores throughout the state. Even though online shopping had caused the closure of several stores in recent years, they remained significant players in the industry. Tabitha was often affectionately called the “Grocery Princess.”

Camila, wanting nothing to do with her, turned to leave but was stopped by Tabitha. “What’s going on. Can’t even exchange a few words with

your sister?”

“What’s there to talk about? How your mom became the other woman?” Camila retorted.

Furious, Tabitha grabbed and tore off the jacket draped over Camila. “It’s those who aren’t loved who are the home wreckers!”

“Who’s interested in Camila?” Rita’s eyes swept over them, her smile tinged with a chill.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent, leaving only the bar music playing. It was no secret in the circles that Rita was Ray’s granddaughter. Offending her was akin to provoking the Passos family, a powerful clan with global influence and stakes in the entertainment industry. “Why are you so quiet? I thought you all had a lot to say. Camila is my friend, my cousin’s assistant. Since when did it become your place to judge?”

“Ms. Rita, it’s a misunderstanding,” Tabitha said, forcing a smile.

“Misunderstanding?” Rita’s gaze pinned Tabitha, sending shivers down her spine.

“Camila is my sister. We were just chatting, right?” Tabitha looked desperately at Camila.

“I don’t have a sister, Camila straightened her dress and smiled.

Immediately, the crowd around Tabitha stepped back, leaving her isolated. Tabitha’s face flushed with embarrassment, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her skirt.

Rita chuckled lightly. “Since Camila doesn’t know you, you’re not welcome here, and the Passos family doesn’t welcome you either.”
