    Let’s go, Cam. Mr. Connor skipped lunch today, and it’s rare for him to suggest dinner,” n said.


    Cam blinked in surprise. Mr. Connor hadn’t eaten lunch? But she had seen him with a sandwich


    at noon.


    It was just embarrassing. Without supervision, he wouldn’t eat, just like a child.


    Eventually, the three of them took the elevator downstairs. Inside the elevator, n gave Connor a


    half–smiling look. Having worked beside Mr. Connor for years, n understood him well. He knew


    Connor had a soft spot for Cam, special attention he didn’t even show to Haylie.


    Once they reached the restaurant, they ordered their meals.


    n nced at Connor and then turned to Cam, asking, “Did you go on a date today?”


    Connor sneaked a quick look at n.


    “A date?” Cam paused beforeughing, “More like a blind date.”


    Connor raised an eyebrow and then furrowed it, his expressionplex. “Cam, you’re only 24,


    and your family is already setting you up?”


    Cam looked at n and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, my mom is quite anxious.”


    n tilted his head slightly, asking, “How did the blind date go today?”


    Connor nced at her again. Though he seemed easy–going, his presence was imposing, strong


    enough that even without speaking, he could make one feel pressured.


    “It was really just to appease my mom. The guy probably got quite a scare from me,” Cam


    chuckled.

    She quickly added loyally, “Right now, work is my top priority.” Her voice was clear and firm.


    Noticing a small smile on Connor’s lips, Cam felt her brown–nosing had been acknowledged, and


    she breathed a sigh of relief.


    n chuckled, a hint of mncholy in his eyes. “I turned thirty this year, anding home to an


    empty house feels lonely. I’m thinking about settling down.”


    His words came from the heart. Having grown up in an orphanage, he longed for a family of his


    own. After graduating, he joined Passos Corporation andter came to work with Connor, working


    tirelessly all year round with no time to meet women.


    “What kind of women do you like? I can ask my mom to keep an eye out for you,” Cam offered.


    “Thanks! I like someone warm, considerate…”


    As they spoke, the food arrived, and Connor nced at n, tapping on the table. “Let’s eat.”


    The next day.


    The weather was scorching. Cam brewed a cup of herbal tea and just took a sip to soothe her


    throat. Then, footsteps approached, and Cam looked up to see Howard, dressed casually,


    walking in with a smile. “Good morning, Cam.”


    Cam paused, as she didn’t have him scheduled for today. “Good morning, Mr. Howard. Are you


    looking for Mr. Connor?”


    “No, I was out ying golf this morning and passed by, so I brought two cups of coffee, one for Mr.


    Connor and one for you,” Howard said with a smile.


    Cam, surprised that Howard had thought to bring her coffee, epted it with a smile, “Thank


    you.”


    Connor emerged from his office, noticing the coffee in Cam’s hand. His brow furrowed slightly.


    Cam looked at him and exined, “Mr. Howard brought you coffee.”


    Connor nodded, then turned to Howard. “I apologize. My schedule is packed today. I can’t host you,


    I’m sorry.”


    “Bring mest month’s financial report,” he said to Cam, expressionless.


    “Sure.” Cam set down her coffee, identally knocking Howard’s car keys off the table. “Sorry


    about that.” She bent down to pick


    them up.


    Dressed in a ribbon–tied V–neck blouse and a form–fitting skirt, her slender waistline entuated


    her figure as she bent over, catching Howard’s involuntary gaze.
