    The driver said that she fell asleep as soon as she got into the car. He said he and Connor took her


    home together. The whole ride was quiet without any fuss, and the driver evenplimented her on


    handling her alcohol well.


    “Breakfast. n, the assistant, picked up sandwiches from the diner downstairs.


    “Is that for me?” Cam asked.

    Yes, Mr. Connor skipped breakfast, so I got two.”


    “I’ll take it to him.” Cam stood up, reaching for the other sandwich in n’s hand.


    “It’s alright. I’ll take it.” n was also puzzled. Mr. Connor had specifically asked him to deliver it


    personally.


    Cam nodded, ncing at the frosted floor–to–ceiling windows, unable to see inside.


    n camed the breakfast into the CEO’s office. “Mr. Connor, here is your breakfast.”


    “Did you deliver hers?”


    “Yes.”


    “I want you to handle the reports today.”


    “Understood.”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    After leaving, n scratched his head.


    Connor unwrapped the sandwich, took a bite, chewed a few times, and then pulled out a napkin to


    spit it out.


    Disgusting. How had he ever found this appetizing before? Must have been the hunger.


    For a whole week, Connor hadn’t looked Cam in the eye, even though they shared breakfast at


    the same table. Cam clearly felt Connor was avoiding her. She hadn’t even stepped into the


    CEO’s office.


    Cam couldn’t stand it anymore. This suffocating work atmosphere was worse than being fired, so


    she knocked on Connor’s office


    door.


    “Aren’t you not supposed to report today?” Connor said, a hint of displeasure in his voice.


    “Mr. Connor, am I doing something wrong? Please tell me, or if you want to fire me, just do it


    quickly.”


    Connor looked up at her, blinking unconsciously. “No, you’re doing fine.”


    “Then it’s not about my work performance. You have a personal issue with me.”


    Connor propped his head with one hand, rubbing his temples, “No.”


    Cam looked at him skeptically.


    “Are you sure? Should I resign?”


    “No, you don’t need to,” Connor replied softly, like a child admitting a mistake.


    “Then that’s settled. I’ll continue with the work reports?”


    “Yes.”


    “Okay, Mr. Connor, I’ll get back to work.”


    “Alright.”


    After she closed the door, Connor realized he was the CEO here.


    In the following days, although Connor was still a bit awkward, their work interactions returned to


    normal.


    The shareholder meeting was in three days, and Cam was very busy.


    Ding!


    Cam checked her message, her lips curling into a smile. The branch office had transferred $1000.


    Not only half a month’s sry but also a perfect attendance bonus. Mr. Cash, what a good man!


    She began to look forward to the headquarters‘ sry. Half a month must be around three thousand


    at least.


    Ding!


    Sry deposited: $4,132.80.


    Cam rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn’t seeing things. Over four thousand!


    What a hefty sum! It was her highest earning ever!


    11:12


    Was there a mistake in the finance department?


    Upon receiving the payroll email from HR, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Half a month’s sry was


    a thousand, and the rest was various allowances.


    She loved the headquarters! Loved overtime! Loved her boss! Of course, her love for Mr. Connor


    was like that for a god of wealth.


    From the moment she received her sry, her mouth kept turning up, her face beaming with


    unstoppable joy.


    Through the floor–to–ceiling window, she watched Connor working.


    He was so handsome. For the first time, she found him so pleasing to the eye, his refined face


    seemingly haloed with light.


    Connor, feeling the intense gaze, looked up and met Cam’s eyes. She gave him a big smile.


    He thought for a moment, puzzled. Right, today was payday.
