A One Night Stand With My Boss

"Don't you have slippers?" Camila asked, puzzled.

"Not matching ones," Connor replied with a straight face.

A sweet smile crept across Camila's face, lighting up her eyes.

From that moment on, it was like a switch had flipped in Connor. Every time they walked down an aisle, he'd spot something meant for couples and toss it into the cart without hesitation-electric toothbrushes, towels, mugs...

The cart filled up in no time.

As they lined up to check out, Connor had a sudden thought. While Camila wasn't looking, he quickly grabbed a few boxes of 'protection' from the shelf near the cashier and tossed them into the cart. Camila didn't notice a thing. But as the cashier scanned each item, those unfamiliar boxes popped up on the screen, making her face turn bright red.

She widened her eyes at the items, then shot a glance at Connor, who was acting all nonchalant, as if he had nothing to do with it.

After paying, Connor carried their two large bags and walked out of the store.

"What... what was that about?" Camila finally blurted out.

Connor turned around, his eyes twinkling mischievously as he looked at Camila's flushed cheeks. "Which one?"

"I don't know, they just appeared!" Camila pretended to rummage through the shopping bags.

Connor quickly hid the bags behind him, leaned in close to Camila's ear, and whispered, "Those are essentials for our future..."

Camila gave him a look, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red, and shyly turned her head away. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a familiar face.

"Isn't that York's friend? Why is he wearing a delivery uniform?" Camila exclaimed in surprise.

Connor followed her gaze. At the supermarket entrance, a young man was waiting to pick up a delivery.

"I'll go check," Camila said, feeling a sudden wave of unease.

Connor followed her as they approached the young man.

"Hi, do you remember me? I'm Drew's sister," Camila said politely.

The man looked startled, then his expression turned panicky.

He lifted his head to look at Camila, unease clear in his eyes.

"Yeah... I remember," he stammered.

"York told us you got him a job too, delivering?" Camila pressed.

The man lowered his head, silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Yeah."

Camila was stunned.

"York lied to us..." She turned to

Camila's mind reeled. So that's why Drew hadn't attended their mother's wedding-it wasn't because he was busy with work, but because he was in the hospital.

And during their mother's illness, he had somehow brought thirty thousand dollars. Where did that money come from?

Connor gently took Camila's hand, comforting her, "Don't worry, let's go see him at the hospital now."

They hurriedly drove to the hospital.
