“Who else could it be?” Emily winked playfully, exuding confidencé..
Peter shook his head, bemused. “You always have to have your way, don’t you?”
“It’s not about having my way. It’s about fate.” Emily continued, “I feel there’s a strong bond between Camila and Connor. Out of all your paintings, she loved that one the most, and it happens to be the only one Connor helped create.”

“We’re discussing whether my painting will come back to us,” Peter joked.
“What do you mean?” Connor looked puzzled.
“I ran into Camila at the art show today.” Emily glanced at her son, her smile barely perceptible, as if hiding a secret.

On Monday morning, after arranging her schedule, Camila went to Connor’s office to report. “Mr. Connor, I’ve organized the itinerary for this afternoon.”
Camila handed him a schedule listing the times and locations for each event. She continued, “The official flagship store at Ivywood Mall has been renovated. We can inspect it at two this afternoon.”
Connor examined the schedule carefully.
“Alan and I will go this afternoon. Call me if you need anything,” Connor said, setting down the schedule.
“Alright.”
After Camila left, Connor leaned back on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
Later that afternoon, Connor, accompanied by Alan, headed to Ivywood Mall. Howard was waiting at the entrance, his face brightening

Howard looked around, but when he didn’t see Camila, a tinge of disappointment crossed his face.
