With a playful whine, Connor said, "Can I have a hug, just to comfort me?"

"No hugs." Camila was actually quite nervous, and her heart already pounded as if it was about to leap out of her chest.

No sooner had she spoken than Connor had already wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Camila felt his head buried in her neck. His breath and scent swirled around her ear, sending a sensitive shiver through her, causing her to stiffen.

Connor spoke up, "I know you haven't agreed to be my girlfriend yet, but I couldn't help myself. Just let me hold you for a moment."

Camila didn't respond, letting Connor hold her.

After a moment, Connor finally let her go and whispered in her ear, "Goodnight."

Camila lifted her head, looking into Connor's passionate eyes, and replied, "Goodnight," before turning and walking into her house.

Back home, Camila closed the door and leaned weakly against it. Her heartbeat was still rapid and strong. After resting for a while, she slowly got up to tidy up the house.

As she was preparing for bed, Erica called her. "Logan said that Connor and Haylie were never together. He's never dated anyone before..."

She relayed all the gossip she had gathered from Logan about Connor to Camila. "I think, since he's not a playboy, you might seriously consider him."

Erica joked, "After all, you two have already had a 'moment,' so why not make it official?"

Camila gave a wry smile, remembering that night. They met on the day Haylie got engaged. She wasn't sure how much Haylie weighed on his heart. Her feelings were conflicted; she was greedy for his undivided attention.

"Enough about me. How did you end up with Logan? He's..." Camila hesitated, unsure how to mention his colorful past.

Erica burst out laughing, "I know

"Oh, Cami don't overthink it. We're just having fun." Her tone shifted and she chuckled mischievously. "Live in the moment. It seems like Connor keeps in shape. He must be impressive in certain respects."

"What are you saying? I'm going to sleep," Camila said. Her face heated up slightly.

"Alright... I'll leave it at that. You know what I mean." Erica's laughter came through the phone, teasing.

The next day, Camila was punctual as usual at Cedarhill Estate. Connor's eyes almost clung to her, who awkwardly avoided his gaze.

undefinable, ambiguous tension between the two. It seemed that the relationship between these two had indeed progressed.

David smiled contentedly.

Back at the company, Connor usually had lots of meetings on Monday.

Camila came to report her work in the afternoon, and she succinctly presented Connor's schedule for the week and project updates. Connor was a man who kept his personal and professional lives separate, which gave Camila a sense of security.

After Connor finished his approval, he asked, "You're free tonight?"

Camila thought he meant working late and shook her head.

"Have the branch send over last month's customer feedback before closing," said Connor.

Camila acknowledged and when she saw that Connor's phone was ringing, she quietly left, gently closing the office door behind her.
