“Standard quality for these gems,” Logan said, eyeing him.
Connor was still not satisfied, no matter how he looked at it.
“Let’s get the best quality raw diamonds and cut them. Would that satisfy you, Mr. Connor?” Logan sighed,
“That might work,” Connor agreed.
Logan rolled his eyes. Cutting good raw stones into small diamonds seemed like a waste.
Til select them at your company,” Connor stated.
“Alright” Logan’s eyebrows twitched.
Let’s go, Connor said, shutting down his computer on his desk.
“You mean now?” Logan asked incredulously.
“Yeah,” Connor replied nonchalantly.
“Lucky me, having a friend like you,” Logan gritted his teeth..
“Stop dawdling and get your stuff together,” Connor urged.
“Yeah, yeah,” Logan took a deep breath, clenching his fists.

Connor told Camila, have to step out and won’t be back to the office. You can leave when it’s time
“Alright,” Camila nodded.
Logan gave Camila a meaningful look and forced a smile.
“Take care, Mr. Connor, Mr. Logan,” Camila might have been imagining it, but she thought Logan’s look carried a hint of regret. Alter they left, Camila buried herself back in her work. Near the end of her shift, she carried the organized files into Connor’s office She neatly placed them on his desk and, just before leaving, glanced at the coffee table. A solitary jewelry box lay there.

After a long struggle, she opened the box. The moment the lid lifted, her blood froze. It was the necklace she had tried on the night
before.
Rita’s words echoed in her ears. “Tell Connor to buy it for you”
Her heart pounded wildly. Was it meant for her?
The necklace symbolized uniqueness… Could it mean… that Connor had feelings for her too?
Camila’s hands trembled slightly with nervousness as she closed the box and put it back in the safe.
As she left Connor’s office, she felt dazed. She walked slowly back to her desk, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she unconsciously smiled.
“Camila, Camila Curtis from the tech department waved his hand in front of her.
“Huh?” Camila snapped back to reality, looking at him blankly.
“What are you giggling about?” Curtis asked with a smile.
Camila awkwardly adjusted her hair and forced a smile. “Did you need me?”
“Yeah, could you get this document to Mr. Connor tomorrow? I need his signature, and it’s quite urgent. Let me know once it’s signed” Curtis instructed.
“Sure, no problem,” Camila responded.
“I’m heading out” Curtis Bald with a smile.
“Okay” Camila smiled back.
After Curtis left, Camila patted her face and took several deep breaths to fully regain her composure
