“No, it’s not like that…”

Camila Davis shook her head instinctively, cheeks burning. “He’s not… We’re not like that at all…”

Her ears were warm, and she could feel her face heating up. How did Mia even come up with that idea? How could she and Mr. Williams be a couple? That was just ridiculous.

Mia gave her a knowing smile, her voice full of warmth. “That’s alright. Maybe not now, but who knows what the future holds, right? Anyway, I’ll let you get back to the rest of the gallery. It was lovely meeting you.”

Camila finally felt herself relax a little. She smiled back, relieved, “It was lovely meeting you too. An absolute honor.”
