A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin)

Logan mentioned casually, "That guy's cousin, we grew up together."
Erica just gave a casual "Hmm" and didn’t ask any more questions.
A while later, Camila came over.
"You guys go ahead and head back to your rooms. I still need a bit more time here."
Erica immediately offered to stay with her, so Connor and Logan left the venue and made their way to their hotel rooms.
As they walked down the hallway, Connor suddenly asked, "Have you been avoiding Rita lately?"
Logan was silent for a moment before slowly responding, "Maybe."
Connor placed a hand on his shoulder, "Don’t keep her waiting and wondering."

Logan sighed, "Sometimes I think it’s better to just get it over with. Dragging this out might make Erica misunderstand."
Connor gave him a sideways glance, "Clearing things up is important, but don't be too harsh."
After wrapping up her duties and being the last to leave with the logistics team, Camila breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the night’s busyness finally
come to an end.
Erica, linking her arm with Camila’s, beamed and said, "You’ve worked so hard. Connor’s company is a great place for you. You've grown so much
here."
Camila nodded, deeply moved, "I never expected such a drastic change; it feels almost surreal."
From her initial confusion and insecurity when she started working, to now being able to handle complex tasks on her own, this growth and
transformation even surprised herself.
Erica laughed, "After all those tough years, it’s about time for some good fortune!"

With less than a week until vacation, the next few days were spent wrapping up year-end tasks.
Having finally completed the last report, Camila stretched and got ready to pack up and head home.

Just then, her phone buzzed. Casually picking it up and swiping to unlock, a message from the bank caught her eye.
She glanced over it absentmindedly, then froze, her eyes widening. The message displayed a staggering number: $500,000.00, followed by a brief
note—Bonus.
Her eyes widened in surprise, nearly letting out a shriek!
When the familiar number appeared again on the screen, she finally believed it was all real.

Work is about making money, and incidentally, it also brought a man into her life.
Messages in the company chat kept refreshing, with colleagues cheering about this year’s bonus being much higher than previous years.
She composed herself and knocked on Connor’s office door.
Connor was sitting on the sofa reviewing documents. He smiled and gestured for her to come over.
Camila approached him, her smile a bit ingratiating, "Mr. Connor, the year-end bonuses have been distributed."
Connor laughed, "I can tell just from your expression."
Camila beamed, "It's much more than I expected. It’s not some extra pocket money you’re throwing my way, is it?"
