Chapter 245


    Cam nodded slightly.


    She gathered her thoughts and said, “Mr. Connor, thank you for lending me your house these past


    few weeks. I’ve found a ce and I’ll be moving out on Sunday.”


    “Why? I told you that you could stay as long as you needed,” Connor replied. His tone was tinged


    with confusion.


    Cam hesitated, unsure how to exin. “I just don’t think it’s appropriate anymore, given that it’s


    your house. I shouldn’t impose indefinitely.”


    Connor frowned, “What’s inappropriate about it?”


    Cam shook her head gently. “I just feel it’s better this way. I’ve already paid the rent for the new


    ce.”


    “Did I make you feel too pressured?” Connor’s eyes showed a hint of loss.


    “I have rented the house earlier,” Cam said calmly.


    Connor was silent for a moment.


    “If you’re set on moving, I’ll help you,” he offered, trying to keep his tone even.


    “No need. I don’t have much luggage and the new ce is close by,” Cam responded.


    Connor simply nodded, then fell silent. The breakfast before him suddenly seemed tasteless, and


    he couldn’t eat a bite.


    The atmosphere between them grew awkward, and Cam didn’t know what to say to break the


    silence.


    Time seemed to stand still, and no one spoke.


    Finally, Connor broke the silence, “If you need help, contact me anytime.” His voice carried a mix of


    weariness and resignation.


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


    Back at the office.

    Connor was about to start an executive meeting, while Cam summarized the project timelines


    and printed them out for his office.


    Connor took the progress reports, nced at them, and with a tap of his slender fingers on the


    summary, said, “Print me the details of this project.”


    Cam acknowledged and turned to print the documents. Connor’s gaze unintentionally followed


    her. There was a barely perceptible hint of sorrow and bitterness in his eyes.


    He walked to the window. His figure appeared somewhat deste and lonely against the backdrop


    of the window.


    Lighting a cigarette, he exhaled slowly, watching the smoke dissipate in the air. The smoke


    gradually filled the air, and his gaze became distant.


    Cam, after printing the documents, knocked and entered the CEO’s office.


    When he heard the knock, he stubbed out his cigarette. “Come in.”


    “Mr. Connor, it’s time for the meeting,” Cam informed him.


    Connor acknowledged, took the documents from her hand as he walked past. As he passed by


    Cam, she caught a faint whiff of tobo from him.


    At lunchtime, Cam went downstairs to pick up Connor’s lunch. She noticed that the lunchbox was


    different from before.


    “Changed the lunchbox?” Cam asked.


    “Mr. Connor seems to have thrown away yesterday’s lunchbox,” the drivermented.


    “Why?” Cam was momentarily puzzled.


    The driver shrugged, indicating he didn’t know.


    Cam recalled that yesterday, she had given her own lunch to Haylie. Could that be why?


    She ced Connor’s lunch in his office.


    Suddenly, Erica called. “Cami, I’m in love again.”


    Cam smiled, “I hope this onests a bit longer.”


    Erica chuckled, “If we’re still together next month, I’ll introduce him to you.”


    She then quickly changed the subject, “Did you tell that jerk about moving out?”


    Cam hummed affirmatively.


    “What was his reaction?” Erica asked curiously.


    Cam looked around, ensuring no one was near, and whispered, “He’s chasing me...”
