Chapter 1084: Stirring Trouble

With those words, Kian took advantage of Miss Lindsey's dazed state

to close the car door and quickly got into the passenger seat. They left

without giving Miss Lindsey a chance to react.

Miss Lindsey stood there, her face wearing an unpleasant expression,

gazing at the departing car. She couldn't help but grab her phone and

call a friend, asking, "Ayan didn't take the bait at all. I made my

intentions quite clear, and he didn't react at all. Could it be that I wasn't

clear enough?"

Her friend responded, "You should have met him alone. Men of his

status always want to maintain a clean image around others. So you

should have approached him privately. These things require the right

time, place, and people. If you do manage to win him over, you'll be

living the high life forever. Why bother working hard and pleasing your

current old man?"

Her friend's words reignited Miss Lindsey's confidence.

She watched the direction in which Ayan had driven off and silently told

herself, “I will definitely win this man over!"

On the way to the airport, Ayan sat in the back seat, his expression cold

and stern. There was a clear sense of displeasure in his eyes. He took

a deep breath, and the pungent scent of the perfume that the woman

had left lingered around him, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

He immediately removed his suit jacket and tossed it to Kian in the

passenger seat, saying, "This jacket reeks. Get rid of it."

Kian quickly understood, nodded, and said, "Certainly."

Ayan then asked, "What company is that woman from? Contact her

company and ensure such a person never appears in my presence

again."

She had the audacity to make a move on him. It was utterly

preposterous.

Kian promptly shared the woman's company information with Ayan and

also contacted the company's owner, despite the early hour.

This company's owner had cooperated with Sophia, which was why

they had dinner together last night. Naturally, they also wanted a share

of the project that Sophia was working on. Even a small portion of the

pie would be beneficial for their small company.

Kian explained the incident to the owner and expressed his belief that

someone like this woman should not be allowed to continue working for

the company. He sternly advised against such behavior, explaining that

it was unacceptable. The owner immediately distanced the company

from the woman's actions, stating that it had nothing to do with the

company and was solely her personal behavior. The company had

never sanctioned such actions.

Kian glanced at Ayan, but Ayan didn't respond in any way. It was clear

that Ayan wasn't concerned about whether the company was involved

or not. He only cared about ensuring that the woman wouldn't

reappear.

After resolving this matter, Kian ended the call. He looked at Ayan and

said, "Mr. Simpson, today's incident should have been an accident. The

company was interested in working with you, so they wouldn't

recklessly make a move on you. If things work out, it's beneficial for

them. If not, they will continue as they are. Any negative publicity

wouldn't be good for them, given their small size."

Ayan's gaze remained fixed on the window, and his face was

expressionless. It was impossible to discern his thoughts.

Kian's words hung in the air for a while before Ayan finally spoke in a

deliberate manner, "If they didn't do it on purpose, it's for the best. But if

they had intentions of scheming against me, they truly miscalculated.”

Kian nodded in agreement with Ayan.

The next moment, Ayan spoke again, saying, "After returning to Hance

City, take me straight to Franklin Bay."

"Of course, Mr. Simpson,” Kian agreed with a nod.

In no time, they arrived at the airport.

Ayan's flight was scheduled to depart in forty minutes, and the trip back

to Hance City would only take about two hours. So he estimated that by

the time he returned to Franklin Bay, Camille would likely still be

sleeping or at home if she was awake.

Ayan hadn't seen Camille in two days, and to be honest, he missed her

quite a bit.

Therefore, his first thought upon returning to Hance City was to see her.

Of course, Camille was unaware of Ayan's plans. She had stayed up

late into the morning and decided to rest until later in the day. When

she messaged Sienna before going to sleep, Sienna was surprised to

see the message's timestamp. She mumbled to herself, "Is she staying

up all night because Ayan isn't home?"

"Did you stay up all night?" Rex, who had just emerged from the

bathroom, took the message and asked while looking at Sienna.

Sienna didn't respond, just looked at Rex with a faint expression, rolling

her eyes without answering.

Rex smiled and, approaching her, asked, "What were you muttering to

yourself?"

“I won't tell you. Can't people have some personal space for

themselves?" Sienna replied, her tone casual.

Rex tilted her chin up gently, gave her lips a soft kiss, and said in a low,

husky voice, "You belong to me. Do you really need personal space?"

"I belong to you, but I'm not sold to you, am I? Can't I have a little

personal space?"

"No."

"What about you? Is there nothing you keep from me? Have you been

completely open with me?" Sienna gazed into his eyes, her gaze

probing, as she knew that Rex had something on his mind that he

hadn't shared with her. Her focused look didn't give Rex any chance to

evade.

They locked eyes for quite some time, and though Sienna continued to

gaze at Rex, he remained silent throughout.

Sienna asked, "Why aren't you answering? Is it something you can't

talk about?"

Rex ruffled her hair gently and said, "What do you mean by something I

can't answer?"

"So you've got many things you're keeping from me?"

Sienna raised an eyebrow, her eyes containing a mischievous glint.

She blinked and looked at Rex, who seemed hesitant to respond. In the

end, Rex didn't answer. He didn't want to lie to Sienna, but he also

didn't intend to confess. His silence, to some extent, acknowledged it.

During their standoff, Rex's phone rang.

It was his secretary calling.

Rex released Sienna and took the call, stepping aside and answering it.

Sienna observed him intently. After the call, she noticed that his

expression had grown more serious. He said, "You handle it, and I'll be

at the office later."

Ending the call, he lowered his hand with the phone and kept his gaze

on Sienna. In a gentle tone, he asked, "Did you meet the troublemakers

with Camille yesterday afternoon?"

Sienna hadn't told Rex about the incident to spare him unnecessary

worry. She decided to keep silent on the matter. However, when Rex

questioned her like this, she couldn't help but think, "Uh-oh."
