Chapter 166


    Cam stood quietly on the side, waiting patiently. She was nervous, unsure how to break the


    silence.


    Finally, she gathered her courage and softly called out, "Mr. Connor."


    Connor put down the pen he was holding and looked up at her, his gazes captivating and luminous.


    Cam''s heart raced. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "October 7th is your birthday. Do


    you have any ns?"


    "Why do you ask?" Connor replied.


    "To thank you for your care, tolerance, and trust over the time," Cam''s heart thudded loudly, "I


    was wondering if I could take you out for dinner."

    Connor looked at her silently for a few seconds. "Logan and the others have nned a party for


    me," he said, his voice still calm.


    A flicker of amusement seemed to pass through his eyes. "But after it ends, I could meet up with


    you, or..."


    He paused deliberately, his gaze lightly sweeping across Cam''s face, "I could also choose to


    stand them up."


    Cam paused, her heartbeat speeding up even more. She felt her cheeks beginning to warm and


    quickly waved her hands, "No, no, it’s fine. We can meet after you finish."


    Her words revealed a slight panic and shyness.


    Connor chuckled and nodded.


    "I should get back to work." Cam said, her smile shy.


    "Alright."


    The day before the holiday, like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, anticipation filled the air for


    many employees. As soon as the clock struck six, eager workers began packing their belongings to


    leave, cramming the elevator.


    Cam was no exception. She quickly organized her workspace, filed away documents, and


    grabbed her backpack, nning to head straight home after work.


    She kept an eye on Connor’s office door, hoping to leave with him. Finally, Connor appeared at the


    doorway and simply said, "Let''s go."


    She smiled and replied, "Sure, Mr. Connor," and they walked to the elevator together.


    As the elevator slowly descended, the reflective metallic doors mirrored their figures.


    Cam sneakily nced at Connor beside her, a ripple of emotion surfacing in her heart, but she


    quickly suppressed it.


    Eventually, the elevator reached the ground floor. The crowd surged out like a tide, and Cam and


    Connor followed.


    It was already getting dark outside.


    "Are you heading home tonight?" Connor asked.


    "Yes."


    "I’ll give you a ride."


    Cam paused, her heart skipping a beat. She quickly replied. "Sure." Her voice carried a subtle joy.


    The driver waited at the door, but Connor said, "Give me the keys."


    Understanding Connor’s style, the driver didn’t ask further or linger. He handed over the keys and


    silently left.


    Connor opened the car door, slid into the driver’s seat, and Cam followed, settling into the


    passenger seat.


    "Do you always go home during vacations?" Connor asked.


    "Yeah, my mom runs a bakery alone. It''s tough, and I want to spend more time with her."


    "What about other rtives? Are they also in Fairmount?"


    Cam smiled wryly, her voice slightly somber, "Although my grandmother and my uncle''s family


    live in Fairmount, we don''t see them much. Strictly speaking, my family... it’s really just my mom."


    Her voice carried a hint of sadness.


    For some reason, at that moment, Connor felt a strong urge to hold her.
