Mr. Connor called Marissa to his office, and I just know they''re talking about us. Can you do me a huge favor and speak to Mr. Connor? Ask him to let me go instead of Jase. Thepany is about to go public, and Jase has stock options. It''d be such a blow if he got fired," the woman pleaded.


    "Dating isn''t a fireable offense... is it?" Cam said.


    "You haven''t been here long, Cam, so you might not know this, but thepany has fired a couple before!" The woman clutched Cam''s arm, her eyes welling up with tears, looking truly pitiful.


    A colleague from the secretarial pool came over, gently cing a hand on the woman''s shoulder.


    "Mr. Connor isn''t heartless. I know the inside story. Thepany was already being kind by not suing them," she exined.


    "Did they harm thepany''s interests?" Cam asked.


    Her colleague nodded.


    "One was a finance manager, the other in procurement..."


    Understanding dawned on Cam, and she reassured the woman, "As long as you haven''t harmed thepany''s interests, you shouldn''t worry too much."


    "But... but Mr. Connor called Marissa to his office..." the woman shook her head, her voice trembling. "Thepany has a policy against office romances." While they were talking, the door to the CEO''s office opened.


    Marissa walked out and, seeing the woman near the elevator, approached her.


    "I was just looking for you. Let''s talk in my office," Marissa said with a slight smile.


    The woman took a deep breath and nodded. What muste, cannot be avoided; she followed Marissa into the elevator, and they descended together.


    After watching the two leave, Cam exchanged a knowing look with her colleague from the secretarial pool, both smiling slightly before returning to their desks.


    Cam walked back to her own station, thought for a moment, then turned and knocked on Mr. Connor''s office door.


    Seeing her, Connor smiled.


    "Uh..." Cam approached his desk and asked softly, "About the couple, what do you n to do?"


    Connor raised an eyebrow, smiling softly. "What do you think I should do?"


    Cam pondered for a moment, then smiled. "I think Mr. Connor is a reasonable and forgiving person."


    "Are you trying to butter me up?"


    Connor gazed at her, his eyes fulhet


    affection, and beckoned her closer, whispering, "Come here."


    Cam frowned slightly, ncing at the busy figures visible through the clear ss walls.


    Suddenly, with a whoosh, they were all obscured.


    Connor pressed a remote control, stood up, and walked over to Cam, sitting on the edge of his desk.


    He gently took her hand. "I''ve instructed the HR manager to remove that rule."


    Cam''s mouth curved into a bright smile. "Really?"From N?velDrama.Org.


    "Mr. Connor, you really are understanding. I believe that under your leadership, thepany will be more harmonious and united, and the staff will work even harder. en.swhovels


    Connor pulled her closer, yfully flicking her nose. "You, tterer."


    Cam blinked yfully, seriously adding, "A bit of ttery at the right time can be good for one''s career."


    Connorughed, released her hand, and then wrapped his arms around her waist.


    Cam patted his hands nervously. "What are you doing? What if someonees in?"


    "The outside can''t see in now, and


    n wouldn''t be so unobservant toe in at this time," Connor chuckled. "If he''s that clueless, he shouldn''t be an assistant anymore." en.swhovels


    Cam stammered in surprise, "Then, does he know about us?"
