    Cam looked knowingly, convinced that the woman must be Connor’s girlfriend


    After finishing her soup, Connor still hadn’t returned home, prompting Cam to get up and bid


    farewell. “Mr. Connor must still be busy It’s gettingte. I won’t wait any longer.”


    Til drive your home.” The woman looked at Cam earnestly.


    Thinking of her residence at Cedarhill Estate, Cam quickly waved her hand to avoid any


    unnecessary misunderstandings. “No worries, I live nearby”


    Connor pushed open the front door, noticed that the lights were on, and heard voices, so he


    followed the sounds. Seeing the two people at the dining table, his face immediately showed


    surprise. “Mom.”


    “Mom?” Cam’s pupils shrank suddenly, incredulously staring at the woman beside her.


    “Yeah.” The woman beamed at Cam.


    “No no no, sorry, I misspoke. I was just startled.” Cam flustered, waving her hands. “You’re so


    young, I thought you were Mr. Connor’s girlfriend.”


    “Girlfriend? Hahaha,” the womanughed heartily.


    Connor helplessly took off his suit jacket. “Mom, why didn’t you let me know you wereing? If I


    wasn’t home, you’d have waited for nothing.”


    Emily smiled, “I wasn’t waiting for nothing. Cam kept mepany.”


    Cam offered a polite smile.


    “Let me reintroduce myself, I’m Emily, Connor’s mother.” Emily smiled and extended her hand to


    Cam.


    “Nice to meet you, ma’am.” Cam gently shook her hand.


    Emily patted her son’s shoulder, her smileden with meaning.


    “Alright, I’ll leave you two,” Emily said, taking the empty thermos from the table and ncing at her


    son, “Young man,e home if you


    want more soup.”


    Connor frowned slightly.


    “I’ll walk you downstairs.”


    “Cam has something to discuss with you. Come home for dinner this weekend. Grandpa has


    been asking about you.”


    “Sure.”


    After Emily left, Cam stood still, still caught in the awkward interlude.


    Connor loosened his tie, sat down, and beckoned Cam over with a finger. “You needed to see


    me?”


    Cam pursed her lips, hesitating before she spoke. “About Steven…”


    “You came over thiste just for this small matter?”


    “Small matter?”


    Cam looked shocked. She had been nearly worried to death. Being unemployed was nothing


    important, but causing trouble for thepany would be something she could never settle in her


    heart.


    “It’s all sorted, Steven’s shares have been transferred to me, I’ve been wanting to reim those


    shares for a while. In this, you yed a part. I know what kind of person Steven is, and today was


    the perfect opportunity.”


    Cam blinked. “Opportunity?”


    So, he knew what Steven was like, and his quick appearance to save her had a reason.


    Suddenly, her heart was a mix of feelings. Upon learning the truth, the initial touch vanished,


    reced by a deep sense of destion, her gaze bing vacant.


    “Yeah.”


    “Congrattions Mr. Connor on sessfully reiming the shares. It’ste, I won’t disturb you any


    longer.”


    “I’ll drive you home.”


    “No need.” Cam refused, coldly stating, “It’s not far.”


    Connor insisted, abruptly taking her arm and leading her toward the elevator.


    “Fine, you’re the boss.” She thought to herself. Cam pulled away from his grip, standing in the


    comer of the elevator.

    The ride was silent.


    At her front door, Cam turned after unlocking it and said coldly, “Mr. Connor, thanks for the ride.


    It’ste, I won’t keep you”


    Connor stared at her. Not waiting for her to close the door, he squeezed inside.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
