A One Night Stand With My Boss

Chapter 201

The host, microphone in hand, stood on the ribbon-cutting stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, good morning! Today, we gather to witness an exciting moment. The grand opening of the Future flagship store is an event we have all eagerly awaited!"

A round of applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

As the ribbon was cut, confetti cannons boomed, showering the air with colorful paper, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the host announced the official opening of the Future flagship store.

Suddenly,

the LED screen diagonally opposite them, lit up with the name "Camila."

Then, a message started scrolling across it, catching everyone's eye.

"I like you. Can you be my girlfriend? - Howard"

This message scrolled repeatedly, and the entire square saw the declaration on the big screen, causing a buzz of excitement.

People glanced around, searching for the 'lucky' heroine of this high-profile love display.

"How romantic!"

"Such a flashy display of romance!"

A colleague grabbed Camila's arm excitedly. "Camila, look!"

Following her colleague's gaze, Camila frowned deeply.

Howard approached her slowly with a bouquet of flowers, a confident smile on his face.

Connor also saw the scrolling message, his eyes darkening as he glanced at Howard.

His gaze was dark, like a bottomless cold pool, hiding turbulent emotions.

Howard stopped in front of Camila, his eyes gleaming. "Do you like it?"

Camila looked at Howard, her eyes emotionless, and she smiled slightly. "Mr. Howard, you are mistaken. I have a boyfriend."

Howard laughed loudly, presenting the flowers to Camila, his gaze steadfast, "I've checked, and it seems you've broken up."

"I am her boyfriend." A male voice suddenly interrupted.

The crowd quickly turned to see a man in casual clothes pushing through the crowd to stand beside Camila, facing Howard.

Camila paused for a few seconds.

Soon, she recovered, walked over to John's side, and smiled. "Mr. Howard, this is my boyfriend, John."

Howard's face darkened, his brows furrowed, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He stared at Camila, his tone hostile. "What do you mean?"

Camila calmly met Howard's gaze. "I already have a boyfriend. I hope you can respect my choice, Mr. Howard."

Howard's anger began to build. He glared at Camila, his tone harsh. "You think I'll believe that excuse?"

Camila didn’t want to continue the confrontation with Howard. She turned to John, and after exchanging a glance, they walked away from the crowd together.

Connor stood outside the crowd, his gaze fixed on the retreating figures of Camila and John. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

His hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

Alan couldn't help but whisper in surprise, "Is that really Camila's boyfriend?"

Connor gave him a dark look, impatiently tugging at his collar.

Alan immediately clamped his mouth shut, silently chiding himself.

Camila and John moved to a less crowded area.

"John, thank you for helping me out," Camila said sincerely.

John smiled and rubbed his neck. "I saw you looked quite upset, so I stepped in."
