A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

*Connor, are you out of your mind?” Steven exploded, his voice filled with incredulity. “Do you have any idea how much my shares are worth? Can you even afford them?”

“I can afford whatever they cost. You need to sign the agreement today,” Connor retorted sharply.

Surrounded by an audience of onlookers, Steven gritted his teeth and sunk into the couch. “I invested a hundred million when I bought in, and by today’s market value, it’s worth at least a billion. I’ll take two hundred million today, and the rest must be in my account within three days.”

“Fine,” Connor replied coolly. “Alan, make sure to add these terms to the contract and transfer two hundred million immediately after it’s signed.”

“Alright.” Steven was skeptical that Connor could gather such a substantial amount in liquidity within just three days.

After whispering briefly to Alan, Connor turned his gaze towards Camila. He reached out, gently grasping her arm. “Camila.”

Camila jerked her hand away, her face etched with disappointment, her breathing rapid and heavy. Her fists were clenched tight

she was struggling to control her emotions and prevent herself from exploding.

The room was thick with tension, suffocating, and the onlooking waitstaff silently slipped away.

“I’ll have the driver take you home,” Connor said after a moment, his voice soft.

as if

Back home, her worries only grew. Maybe if she had been more patient and tactful, the situation wouldn’t have gotten so tense. Did Connor really have that much money?

After much thought, she decided to wait for Connor at Cedarhill Estate. Entering the security code, Camila pushed open the door. The lights instantly illuminated her, catching her off guard. She hadn’t expected the house to be brightly lit.

Had he returned?

As she stepped into the living room, she saw an unfamiliar woman sitting gracefully on the couch, absorbed in a book. The woman’s delicate and dignified demeanor exuded a calm and gentle aura.

Camila felt awkward, unsure whether to greet the woman or turn around and leave.
