A One Night Stand With My Boss

Camila's heart suddenly clenched.

A few seconds later, she exited Twitter.

She patted her cheeks and buried herself in work.

Haylie's tweet continued to climb in popularity, jumping to the second spot on the trending list.

[Big Discovery! Turns out Haylie and Connor were college mates!]

[What a perfect match!]

[Beauty and brains—that's them!]

[What are you talking about? Stop shipping them! Our girl is engaged!]

[Please, people get divorced these days. Being engaged means nothing!]

[Apart from being richer than Mr. Connor, what does he have over him?]

[Can't the onlookers respect a happy couple?]

Fans and neutrals even started arguing, and Haylie's haters joined in.

[LOL, Haylie never followed Mr. Connor on Twitter before he made it big. Now she's all keen.]

[You're spilling the tea! She's got a fiancé yet flirts around!] NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

[She saw Mr. Connor's potential future, huh? She's just keeping her options open.]

[Mr. Connor, if you end up with someone like Haylie, I'll lose respect for you!]

[Weren’t they always flaunting their love? Why so few pictures together lately? Did the tycoon dump her, haha?]

[Thought she’d retire after getting engaged. Why is she popping up again after a few months off?]

Haylie's fingers scrolled furiously through her phone, her eyes burning with anger at the negative comments.

She grabbed her phone and immediately texted Connor.

[Connor, I followed you on Twitter, follow back please. Otherwise, it'll be embarrassing for me!]

After sending the message, she constantly checked to see if Connor had followed her back.

In the CEO's office at Future Inc.

After Alan finished his report, he hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Connor, you're trending."

Connor nodded.

Having been in the public eye before, he was no longer easily shaken by such news.

Seeing no reaction from him, Alan added, "There’s a trending post about you and Haylie."

Connor's brow furrowed, "What does it say?"

"Haylie retweeted the official news and tagged you, saying, 'congratulations,'" Alan explained.

"Why would that trend?" Connor asked, not seeing anything amiss with the tweet.

Alan pursed his lips, "Well, it shouldn’t be a big deal, but somehow your fans have shipped you two, even starting a fan forum."

Connor looked puzzled, "Shipping?"

Alan paused, then explained, "It’s like they enjoy the idea of you two together."

He pulled out his phone and opened Twitter,

scrolling to Haylie’s tweet and the comments below.

"While Haylie’s tweet was simple, it sparked a lot of attention and debate. Some people think you two are a match made in heaven. Others think it’s just a publicity stunt. Some fans have even paired you up.'"

Connor’s frown deepened. "Get it off the trending list now!" His voice brooked no argument, clearly agitated.

Alan glanced at Connor.

"Are you worried Camila might get the wrong idea?" he asked cautiously.

Connor didn’t answer. His fingers hovered between a cigarette packet and a lighter.

He pulled out one, his fingers tensely gripping the cigarette. The tips turned white as if holding back a strong emotion.
