Chapter 1518: Argument
Sienna was someone who couldn't keep things to herself. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, she told Camille everything about tonight.
She was the kind of person who shared everything with Camille right away. She couldn't stand it and didn't like to wait.
Camille found it quite amusing and said, "No wonder Jillian posted something on her moments."
"What did she say?" Sienna hadn't checked her phone yet.
Camille replied, "She said being too gentle doesn't suit her purpose, and she's going to take a more dominant approach from now on."
Sienna laughed and agreed, "I think it's feasible. If she could forcefully kiss tonight, it's not impossible to take it further next time."
Camille smiled and said, "I hope she gets what she wants soon." Then she added, "Isn't your Rex happy now?"
After all, Mario had someone pursuing him, and someone even took the first step voluntarily. Rex was undoubtedly very happy, but amidst his happiness, he also made a condition: no talking to Mario. For Sienna, it wasn't a difficult task. They just needed to meet less frequently. As long as there were no opportunities to meet, there would be no need for conversation.
However, Camille suddenly mentioned something. She said, "I feel like Rex's request is not easy to fulfill. And I think you agreed too quickly. I might end up proving you wrong. What should we do?" Sienna was confused by her words and asked, "Can you explain a bit more clearly?"
"I think if I explain further, you might kill me!" Camille directly shared her idea of cooperation with Sienna. She said, "The only thing I can do is to exclude you from this project."
"As you say, I also thought about it. If I ignore Mario, he will still be involved in this project." Sienna felt a bit guilty and said, "I don't have the heart to do it with him right now. If I tell him about the upcoming opportunities to meet Mario, he might have trouble sleeping and won't be able to fall asleep all night. So I won't say anything for now. Let's take it step by step and see what happens when we get there."
Sienna felt a bit melancholic because she couldn't help but imagine certain scenes, and Camille couldn't help but laugh and say, "You better tell him early. Otherwise, I'm afraid he might have a heart attack when he finds out."
Sienna reassured her, saying it's fine, and for now, she should just be happy.
The two of them chatted for a few more minutes until Rex finished showering, and they put their phones away.
Ayan, who was listening to Camille and Sienna's conversation, was warned by Camille, "Don't say anything, let them resolve it on their own."
Ayan smirked, "Do I look like someone who gossips?"
"I'm just afraid you won't be able to bear telling Rex," Camille said as she hugged him and added, "Let's not interfere in this matter. All I can do is try to keep Sienna out of this project."
But if there aren't enough people, then they will have to get involved.
Camille was currently worried about this.
However, she thought about what Sienna said, to take it step by step and not worry too much for now. Let's wait until we reach that point. There's no need to be anxious.
Ayan gently touched her hair, and his arms held her even tighter.
They had a dreamless night, and Ayan woke up early the next morning.
He was awakened by the sound of his phone ringing.
It was Kian calling.
Since Kian called at this hour, it must be something urgent; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to disturb him.
Ayan silenced his phone and got out of bed, leaving the bedroom and heading to his study.
Only then did he answer, "What's the matter?"
His voice sounded particularly cold and stern, making Kian on the other end of the line tremble slightly, but he immediately said, "Mr. Simpson, there's a problem with the collaboration project. Someone got injured."
The cooperation project Kian referred to was the SynergyCon project, which involved collaborating with Mario, Horace, and the Nores Group. The project had been underway for a long time and included office buildings, residential complexes, and a large mall.
Initially, everything was going smoothly. However, upon hearing that someone had been injured, Ayan couldn't help but think of the Simpson Group project, where there had been casualties due to Preston's interference. However, those casualties were intentional because they had been working with Preston. But now, with someone getting injured on this project, Ayan's expression immediately turned grave.
He squinted his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Come over here now and let's go to the site together."
"Yes, I'm already on my way," Kian quickly replied.
Ayan asked, "Has Horace informed Mario about it?"
"Yes, they've been notified. They're also on their way. Mr. Nores from the Nores family has personally gone there. He has already reached the site. At the moment, I only know that it's due to a collapse. The exact cause is still unclear."
Kian explained in a low voice that whether it was a natural collapse or caused deliberately, it was a serious matter. Many companies were involved in this project, and there were also numerous collaborating brands and a lot of public attention.
The Nores family had owned this
piece of land for many years, and many businesses had wanted to invest and collaborate on it. However, the Nores family had. always refused until they found a suitable opportunity to work with the Simpson Group. Now, after finally
collaborating, an incident like this happened, putting the Nores family
in a difficult situation.
Kian arrived at Franklin Bay to pick up Ayan. Ayan hadn't even had breakfast. After receiving Kian's call, he immediately washed up, changed his clothes, and prepared to leave.
Camille, who was sleeping in bed, was awakened by the commotion. She looked at Ayan with sleepy eyes and asked in a grumpy voice, "Are you going out?"
She casually picked up her phone and glanced at the time. Although it was almost time for him to go to work, seeing his serious expression made Camille worried. She asked, "What happened?" Camille's gaze was fixed on Ayan, and her eyes were filled with concern.
Ayan was about to leave directly, but when he saw Camille wake up, he walked towards the side of the bed, bent down, and gently kissed her forehead. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Something happened. I need to deal with it. It's still early. Get some more sleep."
Camille looked at his response, her voice somewhat worried, "Is it serious?"
Ayan replied, "We're not sure about the severity yet. I need to go to the site to find out."
He had promised Camille not to keep secrets about important matters, of course, excluding those related to her.
Camille looked at his serious expression and naturally spoke with concern, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Ayan reassured her, "No need. I can handle it. It's not a big issue. Get some more sleep, and I'll tell you when there are results, okay?"
Ayan repeatedly assured her, and Camille gave in. She couldn't insist anymore.
However, as soon as Ayan left, Camille couldn't fall back asleep because she was worried. So she immediately got up and went to find Sienna.
Since Sienna could gather information from Rex, who was busy with Ayan now, and Kian, being Ayan's secretary, was also occupied, Camille didn't disturb them.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Arriving at Sienna and Rex's home, Sienna had just woken up and hadn't freshened up yet. She was still in a dazed state. When she saw Camille coming so early in the morning, her first reaction was, "Did you have a fight with Ayan? Did he kick you out last night?"
