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.

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