Camila gently shook her head.
“Before we were together, you used to come and have lunch in my office too,” Connor said, holding her hand, not wanting to let her go.
The events of the morning were still fresh in her mind, and Camila wasn’t sure they could eat without ending up kissing.
With a sweet smile, Camila said, “Mr. Connor, please enjoy your meal. I’ll step out for a while.”
Connor sighed in resignation and let go of her hand.
Camila returned to her desk, opened her lunch box, glanced at Connor in his office, and sent him a message. [Babe, lunchtime!]
When Connor received the message, his gloomy mood instantly lifted. He took his lunch box to his desk, watching Camila through the glass door.
With a slight smile, he opened his lunch box. Whatever dish Camila picked, he would pick the same.
After finishing their meal, Camila picked up her phone and typed away. Predictably, Connor immediately checked his phone-it was indeed a message from her. [Babe, I’m off to take a nap.]
Connor looked down, smiling, and replied, [Okay!]
Camila left her desk, leaving Connor feeling a bit empty. He picked up the cigarettes on his desk, but then remembered Camila disliked the smell.
Taking the cigarette pack and lighter, he got up and walked out of the office, heading to the rooftop garden.
Standing on the rooftop, Connor lit a cigarette. He took a deep breath, the smoke swirling around him.
There was a bench on the other side of the roof, so he walked over, cigarette between his fingers.
Suddenly, he heard whispers and laughter. He saw a young couple embracing each other, their faces filled with happiness and sweet smiles. Recognizing them as employees from the tech and operations departments, Connor paused.
Just then, the couple noticed him. They jumped up, hurriedly fixing their clothes and hair.
Connor watched their awkward, tense expressions and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
The man spoke first, his voice trembling slightly, “Mr. Connor…” His eyes were filled with fear and concern.
The woman looked down, too scared to meet Connor’s eyes, her hands tightly clasped together.
“Sorry to interrupt. You guys carry on,” Connor said calmly. He turned to leave, giving them some privacy.
However, the man immediately spoke up, “Mr. Connor, it was me who pursued her. If you have to fire someone, let it be me.”
The woman quickly tugged at his
coat,
crazy anxiously, “Are you Ads by PubFuture
crazy? You’ve been at the company longer than me, and you earn more. If anyone should leave, it should be me.”
Connor, reminded of his own office romance with Camila, chuckled softly.

“It’s okay, was just passing by.” Connor took another drag of his cigarette, stubbed it out in the, ashtray of the trash can, and left the rooftop.
The couple looked at each other in confusion.
“What did Mr. Connor mean by that?” the woman asked.
The man just shook his head.
