Chapter 27

Camila thought about it for a moment. After what Connor had said, it would seern ungrateful to refuse. “Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.”

The driver will bring you the keys Inter. You can move in over the weekend, Connor said, leaving no room for refusal

After Camila hung up the phone, Erica smirked a little mischievously. “Do you think your boss might be into you?”

“Did you not hear how he spoke? Don’t overthink it,” Camila replied with a big eye roll.

Erica hugged her. “Since we’re up anyway, let’s go back to your place and stort packing.”

When she stood at the doorstep, Camila’s hand trembled uncontrollably as she reached for her keys. The events of the previous night replayed in her mind. She dreaded to think what scene would greet her upon opening the door.

Would there be a lifeless body if Connor hadn’t taken care of everything? Would the stench of blood permeate the entire house?

“Let me do it,” Enca said, taking the keys from her hands. Inserting the key and turning it, she held her breath and pushed the door open, Camila mustered her courage and stepped inside. The sight before her eyes astounded her.

The living room was spotless and tidy, as if nothing had ever happened. Sunlight gently illuminated every comer, and a vase of fresh lilies spread their subtle fragrance through the air.

“The scene has been cleaned up,” she uttered numbly.

“Connor must have handled it. You don’t need to worry anymore,” Erica also breathed a sigh of relief.

After packing ten boxes, both were out of breath. The driver handed Camila the keys to her new place.

“Nothing will happen to Mr. Connor because of last night, right?” Camila couldn’t help but ask.

The driver smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Connor has taken care of everything. You have nothing to worry about.”

That’s a relief Camila finally relaxed.

Erica drove Camila to her new home.

“Belleview Heights is a top-notch complex. Even a studio apartment there costs millions. It’s just sitting empty? What’s Connor’s entrepreneurial story? Does your company really make that much money?” Erica, an editor at a fashion magazine, was increasingly curious about Connor, particularly his insights on fashion. If she could get him for an interview, the magazine would sell incredibly well.

“Rumor has it he started Future Inc. after winning over a million dollars at a hacking contest,” Camila shared what little she knew, mostly from coworkers.

“That’s impressive.”

Upon opening the door to the apartment, they gave each other a bewildered look. “He calls this a ‘small apartment”?” Erica pointed at the expansive living room.

Camila was just as stunned. This was clearly a luxury mansion!

They quickly toured the place.

“There were four bedrooms, and all the furniture is brand new and luxurious!” Erica exclaimed excitedly.

“Let me tell you, Passos Corporation is truly incredible. Belleview Heights was launched at the peak market prices five years ago. Then Ray sold off his real estate firm right before the market crashed under the debt crisis. Many public companies now faced closure. Ray sure had a keen eye!”

Camila nodded in agreement.

“You have to respect such a legendary figure she said, knowing well of Ray’s renown in the city.

Erica sat down on the leather sofa, thoroughly pleased.

“It’s literally move-in ready. I was thinking about what appliances to gift you, but now I can save my money.”

The next day after moving, they went out to eat with their friend Lily.
