Chapter 231


    The next day, Cam arrived early at Cedarhill Estate. She sorted through the belongings she had


    left in the bedroom and packed them all into shopping bags.


    As she stepped out of the bedroom, she ran straight into Connor.


    Cam nodded politely, “Mr. Connor, good morning.”


    Connor noticed the shopping bags in her hand and paused slightly. “What’s this?”


    “These are some things I left here before.” Cam opened the shopping bag and said calmly,


    “You’re wee to check.”


    Connor frowned slightly as he looked at her face. “I didn’t mean that. Why are you taking


    everything?”


    “Why can’t I take my things?” Cam countered.


    Connor became slightly flustered and quickly said, “You might need to workte here, stay over if it


    gets toote.”


    “That won’t be necessary. I can take my work from SummitTrack Investments home.” Cam smiled


    slightly, “Of course, if Mr. Connor is uneasy, I can resign from SummitTrack Investments.”


    “Do you really not want to be around me?” Connor grabbed her arm, his tone urgent.


    Cam politely withdrew her arm. “Mr. Connor must be joking. As a female secretary staying


    overnight at her male boss’ house, rumors could hurt both your reputation and mine.”


    Connor watched her, a subtle hint of loss in his eyes. “Did you see the news?” His voice was


    hoarse.


    “I did.” Cam nodded with a smile.


    Connor, anxious, continued, “Yesterday, Haylie attempted suicide. She called me, and I didn’t


    answer. You know, I was in your bedroom at the time.”


    Cam smiled, “Mr. Connor, you don’t need to exin to me. Handling public rtions isn’t part of


    my job.”


    “I am just friends with Haylie.” Connor looked intently into Cam’s eyes, his tone firm.


    “I saw the statement.” Cam looked at him. “Mr. Connor, I still have some things to pack.”


    She bowed slightly and turned to head to the shoe cab, packing the high heels she had left


    there the previous day into her bag.


    Connor stood still, and his eyes followed her. He felt that Cam was drifting further away from


    him...


    The door opened, and David entered with breakfast.


    “Good morning, David,” Cam greeted with a smile.

    “Morning, Cam. Have some breakfast.” David ced the breakfast bag in the entryway and


    changed his shoes.


    Cam shook her head. “I’ve already eaten.”


    She turned to look at Connor and smiled politely, “Mr. Connor, I’ll go make some coffee.”


    After saying that, Cam went to wash her hands, grind the beans, and brew the coffee.


    “Mr. Connor, is Cam upset about the news with Ms. Haylie?” David whispered.


    “I exined it to her.” Connor was enveloped in a gloom.


    Cam brought the coffee over to Connor, smiling slightly, “Mr. Connor, please enjoy your coffee. I’ll


    be waiting over by the couch.”


    Connor took the coffee but did not drink it, looking up at her with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.


    Cam sat down on the sofa, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window.


    “Cheer her up,” David whispered.


    “How?” Connor looked helpless.


    David smiled slightly, drawing on his years of life experience to advise Connor. “Mr. Connor, women


    need to be pampered, especially when they are upset. Start by apologizing to Cam to show your


    sincerity, then try to show some concern, ask her how she’s been doing, if she’s facing any


    difficulties.”


    Connor furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. “Would that really help?”


    David nodded, “Of course. People respond to kindness. Treat her well, and she’ll feel it. Sometimes,


    all a girl needs is some sweet talk to lift her spirits, especially when they’re down.”
