"Alright," Ayan naturally nodded in agreement.
But there was still a slight crease between his brows, a scene noticed by Kian who was driving. It made
Kian feel unsettled, as if a storm was about to descend on him in the next moment. He tried to minimize
his presence, wishing he could find a hole to disappear into, to avoid any innocent harm.
The journey felt incredibly long, taking what seemed like ages to return to Franklin Bay.
Upon arrival, Kian immediately got out of the car to open the doors for the two. Camille alighted first,
followed closely by Ayan. They entered the house one after the other, with Kian not daring to speak up
to stop them. The next steps had to be guessed, as directly asking would surely lead to facing the
music.
Inside the villa, Camille went upstairs directly.
Ayan naturally followed back to his room. Camille looked at him and asked, "Don't you have work to
do?"
Ayan hesitated and looked at her.
Camille, remaining composed, was unaware of Ayan's thoughts.
Until she noticed Ayan's somewhat downcast mood. He had been sitting on the couch in the room
without moving since they returned. Camille, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ayan met Camille's concerned gaze, his mood growing more complicated.
Camille, still confused, stared at him. Ayan's voice sounded hoarse as he asked, "Are you upset?"
Camille was taken aback and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Ayan said, "Your attitude towards me has changed." He specifically emphasized that it had changed
since Kian mentioned Daisy's arrival in Hance City the next morning.
He looked somewhat aggrieved, which made Camille find it amusing.
Camille laughed and said, "I'm not upset. I was just thinking about what kind of person Daisy is.
Considering Tillery Group and Simpson Group are in a cooperative relationship, and Daisy is the
representative sent over by Tillery Group, I need to be polite. However, her personal behavior and true
intentions make it hard for me to be overly courteous. I'm conflicted about this issue, but it has nothing
to do with you."
Camille, devoid of emotions, had agreed to this from the start. Whatever happened during the process,
she had to accept it, as it was a decision she and Ayan had made together.
After Camille's explanation, Ayan still found it hard to believe. He felt Camille was upset.
He reached out to Camille, who reciprocated and held his hand, asking softly, "Why do you seem like a
little girl now?"
Camille smiled, and Ayan clasped her hand, whispering, "Because I don't want you to feel
uncomfortable. If you do, you must tell me immediately, okay?"
Camille nodded in agreement, and the two finally reached an understanding.
While Ayan went to shower, Camille messaged Sienna about Daisy. Camille had always been
transparent with Sienna and informed her that Daisy would arrive in Hance City the next day. Sienna
immediately replied, "I'll arrange for a makeup artist. We'll dress up early tomorrow and make sure to
outshine her at dinner."
Camille smiled faintly and replied, "I don't plan on outdoing her because she's not worth the effort. Why
waste time on someone unimportant? Besides, I'm not very comfortable with elaborate makeup, so I'll
just be myself!"
Camille had her own simple but unique style of dressing. It reflected her personality amidst simplicity.
Sienna was impressed by Camille's words and said, "You're right. Let's not give her too much attention.
She won't dare to cause trouble on our territory, right?"
Camille laughed, making it seem like a battle was about to commence.
Camille was looking forward to the situation the next day. She wondered what kind of person Daisy
truly was. Knowing that Daisy already had a wife and child but still used the project to tempt men to
compromise intrigued her.
Such a person must be quite interesting, in a negative sense.
The night passed dreamlessly, and before she knew it, it was the next day.
Camille woke up to find Ayan downstairs already.
Elijah hoped Ayan could arrange for Preston to meet him. If there were any issues on Preston's side,
Elijah was willing to be upfront about it. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Ayan just sneered and said, "He should still be in prison. Did Preston ask the hotel owner to post the
message because he knew he had been released?"
Ayan smiled faintly. Elijah wanted to use him but wasn't willing to prepare any excuses or reasons in
advance. Isn't that just deceiving and avoiding the issue?
For a normal person, there would be no emotions involved. But Preston's mind wasn't normal to begin
with, so his thoughts were sure to be abnormal.
