My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1340: Obstruction

Chapter 1340: Obstruction

Her directness left everyone present momentarily stunned, except for Ayan.

He seemed unsurprised, his expression particularly cold as he said, "There's a lot going on with the

company. I have already informed Kian to convey the message to you."

After Ayan finished speaking, without waiting for Daisy's response, he turned to Kian and said, "Pull out

a chair for Miss Daisy."

Kian immediately complied, then said, "Please have a seat, Miss Daisy."

At a large round table, Daisy's position was separated from Ayan by a considerable distance, enough

for her nearsightedness to potentially hinder her view of his features.

As Daisy sat down, her gaze remained fixed on Ayan. However, what she saw was Ayan attentively

attending to the woman beside him. The woman seemed accustomed to this behavior, showing no

surprise or change in expression. With a clear complexion devoid of any makeup, her fair skin

appeared exceptionally radiant under the lighting. Her features were impeccably sculpted, flawless in

every aspect.

Was this Ayan's wife?

Such a thought emerged in Daisy's mind, accompanied by a mix of indescribable emotions.

The woman before her contradicted Daisy's initial imagination – she was not the kind of delicate

woman who solely relied on men, nor the type who constantly catered to a man's needs.

Daisy struggled to comprehend the kind of person this woman truly was.

However, Daisy's contemplation was brief, as Ayan's voice resounded. He briefly introduced each

person at the table to Daisy, emphasizing that their titles were not merely names or Ayan's friends but

held significance from birth.

One was the President of Ward Group, another the General Manager of Burton Group, and the third a

physician from a renowned medical family. Despite these apparent distant connections to Ayan, they

were all present because of the Tillery Group's involvement.

Despite this revelation, Daisy did not completely grasp the situation, merely nodding and displaying a

friendly smile, exchanging greetings with everyone.

Finally, Ayan introduced Camille. Gently grasping Camille's hand, he raised it within Daisy's sight and

said, "This is my wife, Camille."

Camille responded with a polite yet distant smile, addressing Daisy, "Welcome to Hance City, Miss

Daisy."

Camille proactively raised her glass towards Daisy, who made no move to reciprocate. Her expression

soured slightly, prompting Camille to comment further, "Miss Daisy, have you visited Hance City

before? We have many wonderful places to eat and explore. Since you are here, you should enjoy

yourself to the fullest."

After delivering her message, Camille sipped her drink gracefully, her movements fluid and natural.

Daisy had initially intended to embarrass Camille but found herself unable to act, resulting in a

displeased expression.

Others at the table also noticed this tension, each well-versed in social dynamics and unspoken cues.

Tomas and Derek intervened, signaling the start of the meal. Despite their efforts to engage her,

Daisy's mood remained sullen, leading to a night where she barely touched her food. It was only when

Sienna spoke up, questioning, "Why aren't you eating, Miss Daisy? Is the cuisine not to your liking?"

Daisy's expression softened slightly, but before she could respond, Sienna continued, "I suppose the

flavors of Hance City may not align with your preferences. Each person's taste and lifestyle habits

differ. These are the unique characteristics of Hance City. Perhaps Mr. Simpson should arrange

Western cuisine next time!"

Ayan chimed in agreement, "Yes, you're right."

They seemed to be in perfect harmony, as if they had planned this exchange in advance.

Camille subtly smirked, then turned her attention to Daisy, who struggled to offer an explanation,

uncertain of where to begin.

Frustrated by the situation, Daisy remained silent for the rest of the evening. Following the meal, Ayan

prepared a singing session, a customary entertainment for guests at Hance City.

Located on the tenth floor of the hotel, the venue required a brief elevator ride.

Due to the crowd, the elevator was a bit congested, a fact not lost on Daisy. Taking the initiative, she

suggested, "Ayan, let's ride the elevator together. I have some project-related matters to discuss with

you privately."

Camille, unfazed by the proposal, offered Daisy a smile before Daisy disregarded her input. She

believed that, given the nature of the discussion, Ayan's professional responsibilities would take

precedence over any personal dynamics with Camille.

However, Daisy was mistaken once again.

Ayan calmly stated, "Miss Daisy, it's after working hours. Let's save the work talk for another time."

"Is there a specific time for discussing projects? I thought you were different when it came to work."

"Nothing is different. I'm just an ordinary person."

Tension escalated, with Camille surprisingly calm, gently urging Ayan, "Since she insists, you should

join her and discuss your project."

Camille's words left Daisy perplexed, unable to comprehend their underlying meaning. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Camille's demeanor shifted, her response brief, "You're mistaken."

Daisy was momentarily taken aback, only to hear Ayan's firm directive, "If Miss Daisy wishes to discuss

collaboration, please proceed."

With a faint sense of triumph, Daisy stepped into the elevator as the doors closed with a ding. Despite

her satisfaction, her face remained cold, contrasting with Sienna's amused commentary on the

unfolding drama.

Sienna couldn't help but remark, "What's wrong with Miss Daisy? Why is she pursuing him despite

knowing he's married?"
