Chapter 149 

Camila replied and poured coffee for Craig and John. 

John has only been with our company for two years, but he’s diligent and even the leadership praises him.” Craig’s face lit up with approval as he added, “Not only is he capable at work, but he also handles himself well socially. He’s really a rising star in our department.” 

John smiled shyly. 

Claire listened intently, nooding occasionally, clearly impressed with John. 

Erica whispered to Camila, “Looks like she is quite pleased, what do you think? Besides Mr. Connor, does anyone even catch your eye?” 

Camila glanced at Erica and waned softly, “Don’t talk nonsense in front of my mom.” 

Erica grinned cheekily and said to Claire, “Claire, seems like John has a bright future ahead.” 

Claire nodded in satisfaction. Camila could only smile awkwardly and pinched Erica on the back sneakily. 

“Yes, and John also has an impressive education. He’s a graduate from a prestigious university,” Craig added. 

Erica sat beside them, grinning and teasing Craig, “Dude, you’re still single yourself, yet you’re so enthusiastic about your colleague.” 

Claire clapped her thigh, shifting her focus to Erica. “Erica dear, do you have a boyfriend yet?” 

She doesn’t,” Camila replied with a laugh. 

Erica looked shocked. 

Camila found the situation amusing and thought, “Let’s see some sparks fly.” 

Erica gave Camila a pleading look: I messed up, save me. 

Camila chuckled, interrupting her mother’s inquiry and pulling her towards the kitchen, “Mom, the soup’s boiling over.” 

Claire clicked her tongue. “I was in the middle of talking, how rude. Well, let’s taste if the soup needs more flavor.” 

“Mom, please stop playing matchmaker,” Camila laughed, serving a small bowl of soup. 

Camila carefully blew on the hot soup before handing it to Claire. 

“John seems nice,” Claire said, taking the soup but examining Camila instead. “Honey, tell mom honestly, do you already have someone you like?” 

Camila was taken aback, not expecting her mother to ask that. She quickly denied, “No, mom, what made you think that?” 

“Don’t hide it from me. I can tell when you’re troubled.” 

There’s really no one,” Camila insisted. 

Then why are you reluctant to meet someone I introduce?” Claire pressed. 

“I’m focusing on my career right now. I’m not thinking about that yet,” Camila replied. 

“Alright, I won’t push you for now,” Claire sighed. “I just worry about our family. I fear the day I’m gone, you’ll be alone.” 

Camila frowned, “Mom, you’re healthy, and I promise, when the right one comes, I’ll get married.” 

Claire nodded and tasted the soup, “Seems a bit bland,” she added a pinch of salt. 

At the Passos Estate

The Passos family took their traditions seriously, especially on Thanksgiving, when all family members were expected to gather and celebrate together

During dinner, Connor, along with Peter and Emily, entered the main house to dine with the elders. 

At that moment, Ray, Carson, Hugh, and Jordan were casually chatting over tea. 

Grandpa, Uncle Carson, Uncle Hugh, Mr Jordan, good evening,” Connor greeted them respectfully

Jordan looked pleased with Connor, I watched your press conference the other day, very impressive. You have a lot of your grandfather’s spirit he said, then wayed to a girl nearby
