106Fifteen minutes later, Connor received the email from Camila right on time. Shortly after, Camila
knocked and entered to report the aftemoon’s schedule.
“Mr. Connor, the first batch of Future Go is loaded and will arrive at Mr. Logan’s company by
approximately 4:30 PM. At 3 PM, Mr. Howard is visiting, and it’s scheduled in the reception room.”
Connor nodded.
Do need to follow later?”
“Yes.”
noveldramaAlright, I’ll get back to work then.”
“Right
Mr. Howard arrived ten minutes early, and Camila greeted him, leading him to the reception room.
Howard was a local from Fairmount. He greatly profited from early redevelopment projects, which
led him into the real estate business. In just over a decade, he rapidly expanded through
acquisitions and holdings, branching into municipal projects, property development, construction,
property management, and project supervision, thereby establishing the Fairmount Group.
At just 35 years old, with assets reaching billions, he was a highly sought–after bachelor in the city.
His Ivywood Mall was the second largest standalone retail building in Fairmount. Future Inc. was
about to set–up its official flagship store there.Camila went to the break room to pour two cups of coffee, which she carried on a tray to the
reception room.

As Connor and Howard were chatting, Howard remarked, “It’s
Hearing this, Camila stood up and raised the blinds. The sunlight streamed through the slats,
casting a soft light on her face and highlighting her delicate features and soft contours. A glimpse of
her slender waist caught the eyes of both men in the sofa area.
Camila, standing sideways with her hair tied in a high ponytail, wore a fitted white blouse paired with
a light blue pencil skirt. Under the glaring afternoon sun, her impressive figure was unmistakably
prominent.

Howard couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Camila felt Connor’s gaze and slightly lowered her eyes.
Connor gripped his coffee cup tightly. “Camila, Mr. Logan needs our people to help with the
inventory check. Go there now.”
Camila paused, then displayed a professional smile. “Alright.”
As she left the reception room, Howard watched her departing figure until the door closed and then
said with a chuckle, “Your secretary is quite attractive.”
Connor glanced up briefly.“Does she have a boyfriend?”
Connor took a sip of his coffee and replied in a deep voice, “Yes.”
Howard thought to himself, ‘What a pity.’
When Camila arrived at Weiss Jewelry, the workers were unloading, and the factory manager was
checking each item.
“Why are you here?” the manager asked, surprised.
“Mr. Connor asked me to help with the inventory check,” Camila replied with a smile.
The manager paused.
He had checked two thousand items by himself in the last batch. This batch only had five hundred.
Why did the check need two people? Why would the boss arrange this?
Puzzled, he handed Camila a copy of the list.
Within half an hour, both had finished the handover, and Camila returned to the office.
The receptionists were discussing Howard.
“Although Mr. Howard isn’t as handsome as Mr. Connor, he’s still quite remarkable in the eyes of the
public, don’t you think, Camila?”
Camila wasn’t interested in their conversation and just smiled as she headed upstairs.
