The man glanced at Camila with a hint of amusement and sneered, “You’re Connor’s new secretary? That kid’s taste is getting better. He hired such a pretty lady”
Camila felt slightly irked by his frivolous tone.
“Logan!” Having just opened his office door, Connor cought him flirting with Camila and spoke in a stern, low voice.
“Wow, you actually came out to greet me. That’s rare!” Logan looked surprised, then glanced at Camila again, his eyes twinkling mischievously, “I guess I have you to thank for this.”
Camila was quite perplexed.
“Get in here now.” Connor frowned slightly, his voice tinged with impatience.
“See you around, gorgeous.” Logan winked at Camila before following Connor into the office.
“This is Mr. Connor’s good friend, so even if Mr. Connor isn’t here, he’s allowed into Mr. Connor’s office, Alan explained to Camila as he approached her side.

Connor’s gaze dimmed. A few days ago, Haylie had publicly announced her engagement. Connor had spent the night alone in a bar, drowning his sorrows in alcohol, and under the influence, he had ended up hooking up with Camila.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a pillow flew rapidly towards him, though his quick reflexes saved him from being hit.
“Don’t set your sights on my employees, Connor said grimly.
Logan snickered, a knowing look on his face, and teased, “I have also complimented Amy from the planning department as being pretty, and you didn’t say that then,”
“I see that you’re doing fine, so I’ll go catch some sleep,” he yawned twice.
“Get out,” Connor dismissed him.
“Ah, I’m heartbroken here. Someone’s feeling guilty and kicking people out,” Logan pretended to be hurt and left the office sheepishly.
As he walked past Camila’s desk, he said, “Mr. Connor is handsome and wealthy. He’s such a great man.” After finishing his sentence, he waved his hand and left.
Camila was completely baffled. What an odd
character Logan was.

Tina, who loved gossip, shared many secret office romances.
“Why are they all secret affairs?” Camila asked, puzzled.
“The company has a policy against office romances. Mr. Connor believes the workplace is for work, and dating in the office could affect performance,” Tina shrugged.
“That’s bizane. The branch office doesn’t have this rule. Out of sight, out of mind?” Camila laughed.
Back in the office, Camila quickly took her preventative medication. Although her boss didn’t seem like a sick person, she still followed her doctor’s advice just in case.
