Chapter 189


    Logan watched Connor and Cam interact from the sidelines, detecting a subtle atmosphere


    between them—both flirtatious and distant.


    "What''s going on with you two?" he asked curiously.


    "Nothing," Connor shook his head. "She''s been acting strange all day." He couldn''t figure out why


    she was behaving unusually.


    Logan sighed, unable to stand Connor''s obtuseness any longer. "Have you ever considered that


    your feelings for her might go beyond just caring as a boss?" he suggested.


    Connor paused, then denied it, "No, I''m just concerned about her well-being as my employee."


    "You''re so stubborn you know," Logan said, shaking his head in frustration.


    Connor gave him a sideways nce.


    Logan looked back at him with a shake of his head. "Think it over tonight."


    After saying this, he nced at his watch and stood up. "My work here is done. I''m off."


    Connor nodded.

    Afterposing herself in the restroom, Cam returned to her desk to continue working.


    When the workday ended, Connor walked out of his office and noticed the ne he had given


    her around her pale neck, smiling slightly without his control. "Nice ne."


    Cam stood up, her face wearing a professional smile. "Thank you for your recognition and


    encouragement, Mr. Connor. I will always keep it in mind and strive to do my best," she said, her


    voice calm and steady.


    Connor suppressed a smile, nodded, and then asked, "Is everything set for the gship store


    opening on Monday?"


    "Everything''s arranged, and I''ve sent the schedule to your email," Cam replied.


    Howard was attending the opening, and Connor wasn’t keen on them meeting, so he asked, "Would


    you like to attend?"


    Cam paused, thinking she was supposed to attend. "I’ll go with your arrangement, Mr. Connor."


    "Go ahead, we''ll leave from my ce on Monday."


    "Alright," Cam nodded.


    Connor nodded, "It’s time to pack up for the day."


    "Erica is picking me up," Cam said indifferently.


    Connor frowned, ''Not Erica again.''


    He was silent for a moment, then couldn’t help asking, "Did I do something to upset you?"


    Cam''s expression stiffened for a few seconds, and then she forced a smile. "Why would you think


    that?"


    "I just feel you''ve been a bit off today. You’re suddenly... more formal with me?” Connor struggled to


    find the right words.


    Cam slowly started, "Isn’t that how I should act as a secretary?"


    Connor was momentarily at a loss for words. He sensed a subtle change in the air between them.


    The natural closeness they once had seemed to have vanished.


    He spoke slowly, "You weren’t like this before."


    Cam''s heart trembled, trying to keep her voice normal. She leaned slightly. "I must have


    overstepped before. I apologize."


    "I''m not ming you, just felt you were a bit off today," Connor said, frowning. "If work is tiring you, I


    can give you some time off."


    Cam shook her head. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Connor. I’m fine."


    She kept her smile, changing the subject. "Mr. Connor, Erica is here. I’ll head out now, have a nice


    weekend." She quickly packed her things, grabbed her bag, and left.


    Connor stood still, watching her leave with a mix of confusion and irritation. He walked back to his


    office and lit a cigarette.

    Cam waited for Erica downstairs but instead ran into Connor’s driver.


    He saw Cam, immediately got out of the car, and asked, "Where’s Mr. Connor?"
