A One Night Stand With My Boss ( Maia Sanchez )

Her voice was soft and utterly enticing.

Connor captured her lips again. There was a smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he continued to kiss her.

Their breaths mingled, as if becoming one.

The sky had begun to darken, and the lights of the amusement park came to life around them. Stars twinkled above, casting a gentle glow over them.

After a long while, Connor reluctantly pulled away from her lips and held her tightly in his arms. Both were slightly out of breath.

Taking her hand, Connor led her to a bench in the amusement park, setting aside the cumbersome bouquet of roses.

He wrapped his arms around her. His smile was uncontrollable. "I'll call you Cami from now on, okay?" he said.

Camila's face was still warm as she nodded in agreement.

Connor tightened his embrace. His smile broadened. "Today is our anniversary."

Camila looked up at him. Her lips were slightly swollen from their kisses.

"Connor, I'm a bit jealous," she admitted.

Connor raised an eyebrow, puzzled, as he looked at the girl in his arms.

Clearing her throat, Camila mentioned, "About Haylie."

Connor paused, then laughed. "There's no need to worry about anything. I only love you."

He kissed her forehead gently and continued softly. "In college, during a talent show, she was in the center of the stage, dancing ballet. Perhaps she was too striking, so I thought I liked her." "But later on, I realized I didn't even really like her."

Camila looked at him, puzzled, blinking slowly.

Connor held her closer, looking into her eyes. "I've never broken my principles for her. Remember I told you about the car accident I had?"

Camila nodded.

"When she first started in show business, it was tough without connections. She was replaced right before shooting started for shows, several times. S

"I could have helped her. Rita's

mother owns the largest talent

agency in the country. I never spoke

up for her, even though just one

word from

me could have given her

endless opportunities. I believed that struggling was a necessary part of the industry, so I didn't pity her."

He looked into Camila's eyes and said, "But I do pity you."

"If

you skip meals, I would do everything to make you eat.

"When you were nearly assaulted, I was furious. I took care of the perpetrator, and the chain of hotels owned by his family vanished.

"If your living place wasn't safe, I got worried and got you a new house.

"When you were in trouble at the police station, I called my uncle, an officer, to help because I couldn't stand to see you suffer.

"When you were worried about your mother's diner, I had some thugs stir up trouble there.

"When your biological father mistreated you, I made sure he went bankrupt.

"When you were bullied by relatives, I exposed their deeds and had the neighbors hassle them."

Camila stared at him, astounded. She had been unaware of many of these actions. He had always been silently resolving her problems.

"Are you scared? I'm not a kind person. I'm vengeful," Connor said, staring into her eyes.

Camila shook her head and met Connor's gaze confidently. "Actually, I realized a while ago that I like you too."
