Connor was lounging on the sofa. His mood lifted as he watched Camila shyly retreat back to the bedroom. It was only when the bedroom door clicked shut that he stood up, took a deep breath, and calmed his fluttering heart.
He strolled into the kitchen and said to Drew, “All set? I’ll drive you home.”
“Yeah, all done.” Drew nodded, drying his hands on a towel.
Drew followed Connor, and they left the apartment together.
As they stepped into the elevator, Connor reached to press the button and suddenly realized he hadn’t driven there. He chuckled awkwardly, “Looks like I didn’t bring my car.”
Drew paused for a moment but quickly recovered, “No worries. I can catch a bus from the station nearby.”
“It’s not far to my place. We can walk there and drive from there,” Connor suggested.
“Sounds good,” Drew agreed.
Exiting the elevator, Drew glanced around before they reached the front door. He stopped dead when he saw the name of the complex.
Belleview Heights.
It was nestled in the heart of downtown, renowned for its luxury and high-end facilities, as well as the 24-hour tight security.
Drew had never imagined his cousin lived in such an upscale residential area.
“This is Cedarhill Estate?” he asked in a low tone, staring at the lavish homes in front of him.
“Yeah,” Connor nodded nonchalantly.
Drew fell silent for a moment then looked at Connor seriously. “I suspect my cousin’s boss might have inappropriate intentions towards her.” Connor nearly choked on his own spit.
“Think about it,” Drew analyzed.
“She’s just an ordinary
yet
she’s living alone in this luxury place. The intentions seem pretty clear.”
Connor nodded, acknowledging the point.
“Well, I think, she feels differently about you,” Drew said seriously.
Connor chuckled. The young man’s observational skills were indeed impressive.
“Do you know much about her family situation?” Drew inquired further.
“Very well,” Connor replied without hesitation. Ads by PubFuture
Drew took a deep breath and added, “You know, with her qualifications, there are many wealthy guys chasing after her.”
Connor nodded, remaining silent.
“But she never accepted any of
them,” Drew said. His voice grew et
passionate. “She worked part-time through college just to ease the financial burden on her family.”
Connor knew all along that Camila was an independent and strong woman.
“So, if you really care about her, I support you guys being together,” Drew said earnestly, looking directly at Connor. “She deserves the best.”
“I’ll treat her well. You have my word,” Connor assured him, patting Drew on the shoulder.

The security guard at the gate saluted them as the gates slowly opened Drew stood rooted to the spot, his eyes wide with amazement. Cedarhill Estate was a dream for many.
Drew stared bewilderedly at Connor.
