Chapter 186


    The only sound in the office was the flipping of papers.


    Connor slumped onto the couch, casually scrolling through his phone, while Cam''s figure busily


    moved in front of him.

    ''Did you do something to upset her?'' David’s words echoed in his ears.


    Connor thoughtfully opened Google.


    **How to cheer up an angry woman**


    Google suggested: Give her a small gift, cook her a meal, take her to a movie, etc.


    A gift?


    His slender fingers opened Messenger, finding Logan. [Is the ne ready?]


    Logan, who was in a meeting, saw Connor''s message pop up and sighed in resignation. A designer


    presented the new seasonal concepts and felt his heart skip a beat upon hearing Logan''s sigh.


    Logan replied with a few words. [Almost done.]


    Connor frowned, quickly replying, [Dragging your feet. No wonder Weiss Jewelry’s sales are down


    by 3% this quarter.]


    "Fu..." Logan almost cursed out loud,pletely annoyed.


    ''I''m never designing for you again!''


    The designer trembled, questioning if his presentation was really that bad. He nervously finished


    presenting the concept.


    Grinding his teeth, Logan typed, [I''ll bring it over this afternoon.]


    Connor didn’t reply. He looked up, and his gazended on Cam. She was illuminated by the


    sunlight at his desk, appearing almost radiant. He called out, “Cam.”


    When his deep voice reached her, Cam’s fingers paused momentarily. Turning around, she met


    his gaze. Connor twirled his phone in his hand and asked, “Is there anything particr you’d like to


    eat?”


    His dark eyes locked intently on hers. Cam, trying to maintain herposure, met his stare and


    shook her head with a slight smile, “No, thank you.”


    Connor scratched his neck, pondering about suggesting a movie. Just as he was about to speak,


    Cam took the initiative and said, “Mr. Connor, I’ve sorted the documents. I have some other tasks


    to attend to. I’ll go handle them first.”


    Connor swallowed the words he was about to say, nodding. “Go ahead.”


    Cam exited, closing the door behind her.


    Connor threw his phone carelessly onto the couch. What a useless thing Google was.


    He turned to pick up a cigarette from the coffee table, sandwiched it between his fingers, and lit it


    up.

    Back at her desk, Cam calmly drank some water. She quickly finished the ss, took a deep


    breath, and continued with her work.


    At noon, the driver delivered lunch to the office. Cam sighed softly upon seeing two lunch boxes


    on her desk. She picked up the boxes and walked to Connor’s office. After cing the lunch on his


    desk, she returned to her own seat.


    Connor noticed through the panoramic window that the lunch boxes on Cam''s desk remained


    untouched, and furrowed his brow. He walked out of his office to Cam’s desk, asking, “Don’t you


    like today’s meal?”


    Cam looked up at Connor, a faint smile on her face. “No, Mr. Connor. I’m just not very hungry


    today, so I didn’t eat.”


    Connor paused for a few seconds before saying evenly, “Skipping meals will affect your sry.”


    Cam stared at him. Tears welled up in her eyes.


    ''Please stop caring about me.'' she thought.


    She quickly bowed her head, grabbed the lunch box, and opened it. “Mr. Connor, I’ll eat. Please go


    on with your work.”


    Connor said nothing more and turned back to his office.


    Cam lowered her head, a bitter smile on her lips. Why did he keep doing this even when he had


    someone else on his mind?
