Chapter 232


    Connor nodded, sipping his coffee. “I’ll skip breakfast.”


    “Mr. Connor, you need to eat something!” David eximed, his eyes wide as he looked at him.


    “Cam, let’s go.” Connor stood up and addressed Cam.


    Cam rose from the couch, ncing at the breakfast table where the food remained untouched.


    “Mr. Connor, you haven’t had your breakfast.”


    “No breakfast today,” Connor said, picking up his suit jacket.


    Cam frowned slightly, “Mr. Connor, is the breakfast not to your liking? I can order something to be


    delivered to your office.”


    “Look, Cam is upset,” David whispered.


    Connor paused, then set his jacket down and obediently sat back down. “No need, I’ll eat now.”


    David hung his head, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.


    “Alright.” Cam nodded and sat down.


    After breakfast, they set off for the office.


    Connor was silent for a while, then spoke, “Cam, why did you take the day off yesterday?”


    Cam turned her head and replied, “There was a family matter.”


    Connor wanted to move closer to her, to sit a bit forward, but the seatbelt restrained him. He leaned


    forward instead, asking softly, “What happened? Can I help?”


    Cam shook her head. “It’s been resolved.”


    “If there’s anything, you can tell me. I can help sort it out.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Connor.” Cam nodded slightly.


    Back at the office, Cam went straight to her desk. Having taken the day off, she had a lot of work


    to catch up on. She diligently sorted through documents, preparing for the uing meeting.


    Soon, the intermediary transferred the payment for the car, eighty thousand dors. Cam


    consolidated all her money into her ount, adding up to thirty-seven thousand.


    Once she transferred the money to a government-designated ount, Drew would be released,


    which could finally resolve the matter.


    A call came from the reception desk. “Cam, there’s someone here for Mr. Connor.”


    Cam inquired, “Do they have an appointment?”


    The receptionist replied they didn’t.

    Cam frowned slightly, “Mr. Connor’s schedule is fully booked today. Please ask him to make an


    appointment.”


    The receptionist, covering the phone, whispered mysteriously, “Cam, you might want toe


    down and see.”


    Cam hung up the phone and headed downstairs. As she approached the reception, she saw a


    woman sitting on a couch in the distance.


    Cam stopped in her tracks. Even though the woman wore sunsses and a hat, Cam


    recognized her instantly as Haylie.


    Sheposed herself and approached the reception.


    “Cam, she...” the receptionist whispered, pulling her aside.


    Cam nodded to her and moved towards the lounge area. She politely greeted, “Ms. Haylie, hello.”


    Haylie nced at Cam, a smile ying on her lips. “I’m here for Connor.”


    Cam politely replied, “You could contact him.”


    Haylie chuckled, “I know Mr. Connor well.” She shook her phone. “He must be busy, didn’t pick up.”


    Haylie’s presence was conspicuous, and gradually, colleagues found excuses to pass by the


    reception to check her out.


    “Please go to the waiting room. I’ll inform Mr. Connor,” Cam said.


    Haylie smiled and stood up, following Cam to the waiting room.


    In the conference room, Connor ended several calls. His expression was grim, and the atmosphere


    in the room was heavy.


    n, having received a message from Cam, looked puzzled. He turned to Connor and


    whispered, “Haylie is in the waiting room.”


    “What is she doing here!” Connor’s brow furrowed, his tone tinged with anger.
