My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1217: A Fluttering Heart

Otherwise, if Ayan takes action, not only will this project be lost, but Nores Group will also suffer

significant damage in the future.

Mr. Nores told Alicia, "If you want to enjoy all the benefits provided by the Nores family, you must

contribute to and make sacrifices for the Nores family. I'll give you a day to think about whether you

want to apologize to Camille."

Naturally, Alicia refused, but Mr. Nores wasn't indulging her either.

At that moment, the secretary's phone rang, and although it was unclear what the other person said,

Mr. Nores's expression immediately turned sour.

He clutched his chest, his eyes glazed over, and he remained in a daze for a long time, unable to

regain his composure.

Mrs. Nores was alarmed by this sight and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Mr. Nores was in a terrible mood. Mrs. Nores helped him to the sofa, where he sat for quite a while.

Alicia became concerned witnessing this scene.

Alicia looked at Mr. Nores and tentatively asked, "What happened?"

Alicia's inquiry received no response from Mr. Nores. He had a stern expression, tightly gripping his

phone, and his facial expression grew even darker.

Mrs. Nores was extremely worried seeing her husband in such a state. She said, "What happened?

Can you please say something? Don't scare me!"

With a stern face and narrowed eyes, Mr. Nores coldly looked at Alicia and indifferently said, "Do you NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

even realize the extent of the damage your behavior caused to Nores Group tonight? Just because of

an unattainable man, you've done something so foolish. Do you understand the consequences of your

actions?"

Alicia didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Don't call me Dad." Mr. Nores, filled with anger like never before, said, "Let me tell you, Alicia, from

now on, the Nores family will welcome you back only when you apologize. You can choose when to do

it."

After Mr. Nores finished speaking, he immediately called the household staff to have Alicia escorted

out.

The staff, of course, hesitated, but they had no choice but to follow Mr. Nores's orders, causing them

great difficulty.

Alicia was left feeling bewildered by Mr. Nores's series of actions. However, Mr. Nores showed no

intention of backing down, even when Mrs. Nores tried to reason with him.

In the end, the staff didn't escort Alicia out. She left on her own because Mr. Nores's attitude made her

angry. He had never treated her like this before, and she felt a great sense of dissatisfaction.

After leaving the Nores family, Alicia received a call from her assistant and finally learned why Mr.

Nores had been so angry just now.

In just over an hour, Nores Group had lost several crucial partnerships, the most important ones at

present. They were vital to Nores Group's future development prospects, and losing them meant a

major crisis for the company.

Alicia didn't know how to describe her current state of mind. She stood there for a long time without

making a sound.

She clenched her fists tightly, her face stiff, and said word by word, "Camille, do you think you can

defeat me like this?"

Alicia took a deep breath, and her expression grew even darker. But what should she do now? What

can she do? These questions occupied her mind entirely. Upon reflection, she realized that everything

stemmed from Ayan, and it was up to him to resolve it. As long as Ayan opened his mouth, all

misunderstandings would be cleared up.

The next morning, Alicia went to Simpson Group. However, she couldn't see Ayan without an

appointment, so she had to make one first. Meanwhile, she proactively contacted Kian. Whether it was

the former or the latter, Ayan was aware of it.

Alicia contacted Kian and asked him in a low voice, "I want to meet Mr. Simpson. Can you arrange it for

me, Kian?"

Kian replied indifferently, "Miss Nores, I'm sorry, but Mr. Simpson doesn't have time to see you right

now. Please choose another time."

"Kian, it's urgent, and you know that I know Mr. Simpson. Moreover, we are currently working together

on the project. As partners, it's not excessive for me to meet Mr. Simpson, right?"

"It's indeed not excessive, but Miss Nores, you should understand that Mr. Simpson has agreed to

continue with this project. So, Miss Nores, please don't make it difficult for me, okay?" Kian mercilessly

pierced through the events of last night, as he could tell that Alicia was trying to deceive him, thinking

he was unaware of what had happened since he wasn't present at the dinner. After all, how would a

busy CEO like Ayan have time to chat with his secretary about such things?

However, Kian was a clever person. Being by Ayan's side for so long, he could understand what Ayan

wanted with just a glance. He could also guess a few things about last night's incident.

The only person who could make Ayan angry was Alicia. So why did Alicia make Ayan angry? The

answer was clear-Camille.

Alicia fell silent because Kian knew everything, making it difficult for her to continue. After a dozen

seconds, Alicia finally spoke in a low voice, "I didn't mean anything else. I want to apologize to Mr.

Simpson. Can't Kian give me this opportunity?"

Since it was about an apology, Mr. Simpson shouldn't refuse to see her. However, Kian didn't directly

agree but instead sent a message to inquire with Ayan.

Upon learning that Alicia had arrived, Ayan's reaction was cold, but since she came to apologize, he

wanted to see how she would do it.

However, Ayan didn't directly respond. Instead, he said to Kian, "No need to reply. Since she actually

came to Simpson Group, it's unlikely for her to leave without seeing me. Even if she leaves, she'll come

back. Let her wait!"

Kian nodded and said, "Understood, Mr. Simpson."

Therefore, Kian didn't respond to Alicia and let her wait at Simpson Group, not knowing how long she

had been waiting. Anyway, it was already noon, and Ayan wasn't having lunch at the company. He was

going out to find Rex because Rex had terminated a cooperation with the Nores family last night. This

meal could be seen as a compensation for Rex.

If Rex knew that his cooperation was only worth a meal, he would probably wake up angrily if he were

sleeping. If Rex knew that this meal was deliberately given as an opportunity for Alicia to see him, he

would be infuriated.

Ayan walked out of the elevator, and Alicia, who had been waiting in the lobby for hours, instantly

noticed him. She had been waiting for several hours, and now that she saw Ayan, she didn't want to

miss this opportunity.

Today, she wasn't as flamboyant as yesterday. She wore flat shoes, pants, a T-shirt, and her long hair

was let loose. Her makeup was also quite messy.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't slept well the whole night, her overall state wasn't very good.

She walked briskly towards Ayan and said, "Mr. Simpson, excuse me, I have something to say to you."

She looked at Ayan, and even though yesterday's incident had occurred, her heart still fluttered.

She gazed at Ayan, secretly hoping that he would show a hint of softness.

Ayan glanced at her indifferently, his eyes devoid of any ripples or emotions, and asked coldly, "What

do you want to say?"

Alicia pursed her lips slightly. She was actually quite nervous, but since she had finally seen Ayan, she

didn't want to miss this opportunity.

She looked at Ayan and said in a low voice, "Mr. Simpson, I'm very sorry about what happened last

night. I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you. How about this, Mr. Simpson? Let me

treat you to a meal? Let's not hold grudges against each other, okay?"

Alicia smiled and looked at Ayan, her face filled with anticipation, waiting for his response.
