The sound of knocking startled Camila. She opened her eyes and pushed Connor away, a shy blush spreading across her cheeks.
Lowering her head, she quickly walked to the office door, took a deep breath, and opened it.
“Oh, Camila, you’re here,” Alan said.
Camila’s heart was still racing. She kept her head down, too shy to look at Alan, and replied softly, “I’ve finished reporting my work,” before hurriedly leaving the office. Connor walked to his desk, his gaze darkening as he looked at Alan. His eyes were dark and cold, seeming even colder than the weather outside, causing Alan to shiver. Alan sneaked a glance at Connor and thought, Bad timing! He shouldn’t have come now!
He nervously continued with his work report, while Connor didn’t even look up, flipping through documents.
As Alan finished, he pulled out a couple of tissues and handed them to Connor, saying, “Mr. Connor, you might want to use these.”
Connor slowly looked up, slightly furrowing his brows.
Alan cleared his throat and added, “You’ve got some lipstick… on you.”
Connor paused, then took the tissues and wiped his mouth. Seeing the red stain on the tissue, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
“Mr. Connor, so you and Camila…” Alan began to ask.
Mentioning Camila softened Connor’s expression considerably. He nodded and said, “Keep it under wraps.”
“Understood. Next time just let me know if Camila is in your office, so I won’t barge in like this,” Alan joked.
“Get out,” Connor glared at him.
Alan laughed, leaving with the documents, and thought to himself how hard it was for the two to finally get together.
Hearing the door open, Camila immediately lowered her head and started typing.
Alan chuckled and returned to his own office.
Once he left, Camila let out a long sigh of relief. She stood up and went to the Break room to pour a cup of water. As she did, a colleague from the secretarial office came in.
Camila smiled and greeted her.
“Oh, Camila, why did you wipe off your lipstick?”
Camila paused, remembering the kiss with Connor in the lounge that had smudged her lipstick. She felt her face heat up and gave an awkward smile.
“I liked the color and was about to ask you about the brand and shade,” her colleague said.
“I’ll send you the link later,” Camila smiled.
“Thanks, I was hoping you would,” her colleague said while filling her cup. “You were on leave these past days, and Mr. Connor wasn’t at the office either. Do you know where he went?”
Camila was embarrassed and replied awkwardly, “Well, I was on leave. How would I know?” Ads by PubFuture
“That’s true,” her colleague nodded. “It’s quite unusual for Mr. Connor to be away from the office for half a month.”
“Is it?”
“Some are guessing whether Mr. Connor might have gone on a trip with Ms. Haylie,” her colleague whispered. Camila just smiled lightly. “I better get going.”
Returning to her desk, she took out a small mirror and carefully checked her lips. Sure enough, the once vivid lipstick had been mostly kissed

remains with a tissue and reapplied her makeup.
After touching up, Camila took a deep breath and refocused on her work.
Around noon, the driver delivered lunch boxes. As usual, Camila placed Connor’s portion in his office.
However, just as she was about to leave, Connor suddenly appeared at the door, blocking her way. “Let’s eat together.” Ads by PubFuture
