A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin)

"Can't believe it's not her! So, who is it then?"

The executives' curiosity was fully ignited as they speculated about the identity of Connor's girlfriend. Connor had always been a mysterious, low-key figure, rarely discussing his private life. But now, he had suddenly showcased the cufflinks his girlfriend had given him during a meeting, making everyone intensely curious about who she might be.

"But seriously, Mr. Connor's girlfriend is one lucky lady. Connor's got the looks, the body, and the money-finding someone like him is like finding a unicorn!" one female executive exclaimed. "Too bad for you, though," another executive teased.

"Give it a rest, I'm happily married!" she retorted, rolling her eyes.

Back in his office, Camila followed Connor inside and shut the door behind them.

Camila threw her blazer at Connor, her teeth clenched. "Why didn't you just say your girlfriend is me?"

Connor caught the blazer, a hint of joy on his face despite Camila's angry look. "Could I?" he asked tentatively.

"Are you kidding me?!" Camila shot him an annoyed look. "We agreed to keep it private!"

Connor murmured, looking a bit hurt. "They asked where the cufflinks came from, and I just answered honestly that I had a girlfriend. That doesn't break our agreement, does it?" Camila glanced at him. "With that proud look on your face, it was obvious you were just waiting for someone to ask! Connor, you're practically shouting it from the rooftops!"

"Oh, I just got carried away for a moment," Connor admitted, touching his nose.

He stepped closer, looking at her intently. "When will you ever acknowledge our relationship publicly? We can't keep hiding it forever, can we?" Seeing Connor's pitiful yet hopeful eyes, Camila couldn't help but laugh. She shook her head gently. "We'll see how things go, but not now."

"I'll keep trying to earn that acknowledgment," Connor responded with a resigned smile.

Camila frowned slightly, placing a document on his desk. "This list is for the employees allocated initial shares."

Connor quickly scanned the document and asked seriously, "You're not on this list. Doesn't that bother you?"

"I haven't been with the company long enough to qualify, so it's normal for me not to be included," Camila replied calmly.

Connor gently took Camila's hand.

"Those initial shares aren't worth much, and besides, I'm yours.. Compared to those shares, I'm much more valuable." en.sw

Camila nodded, a sweet smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

Connor pulled out a bank card from his suit jacket and placed it in Camila's palm. "This card is for you. I've changed the PIN to your birthday."

He continued, "All my money is in this card. I've used quite a bit recently for buying back shares, so there isn't much left. But I promise, I'll work hard to make a lot more, so you can always look at the balance and laugh with joy."

Holding the bank card in her palm, Camila joked, "This isn't just an empty card, is it?"

"Of course not." Connor laughed. "There's still a couple hundred million on it."

Camila nearly choked, hastily pushing the card back to him.
