Chapter 1134: Wander

"Okay, we're all so familiar. No need to be polite; it's just a small favor.”

"You're so good to me. Do you like me?" he suddenly said in a husky

voice, his deep black eyes fixed on Camille, and seeing her slightly

stiffen, he couldn't help but ask again, "Hmm? Do you?"

Camille didn't say anything, just giving him a faint glare.

After having noodles, they found a movie to watch, and it was almost

dawn by the time they rested.

Another day with bright sunshine, Camille had been on break for two

days. Tomorrow was the start of the design competition, and she and

Sienna set off early for the company.

For safety reasons, they had kept the design works in their possession.

So far, only Camille and Sienna had seen the complete version of the

overall design.

Sienna would be the one to make a full appearance in this design

competition, so she was feeling a lot of pressure. From the moment

they got on the car until they reached the company, she kept repeating,

"Cami, I'm a bit nervous. What should I do?"

Camille would initially comfort her, but as she slowly realized it was just

Sienna's mantra, she stopped bothering with her.

Camille didn't have much to do on her end; she was just waiting for

tomorrow. Staying in the office was also about providing support for the

employees. They couldn't afford to show a discouraged appearance, as

it would affect the staff's confidence. In reality, the two of them sat in

the office, relying on the sofa, not moving, just watching movies.

This scene was only known to Yessica; others thought the two were

earnestly discussing the design competition tomorrow.

At Simpson Group, Kian had returned.

He arrived at the company early, reviewing all the work that hadn't been

done in the past few days. He also outlined the documents that Ayan

needed to sign today and his schedule, ready to present them when

Ayan arrived.

The assistant was overjoyed to see Kian return, unable to help but say,

"Kian, you finally came back. If you hadn't returned, I would probably

have been worked to death. Mr. Simpson glares at me a hundred times

a day. I have no idea what I did wrong. Kian, you're a real savior. Thank

you for coming back in time to save my miserable life!"

The assistant's words made Kian smile, but he calmly said, "Working

with Mr. Simpson just requires taking every task seriously. Although Mr.

Simpson can be stern occasionally, he is good to his employees.”

The assistant nodded along, secretly sighing that perhaps only Kian

could feel this way. As for him, he probably would never feel it in his

lifetime.

Just as their conversation ended, Ayan also arrived at the office floor.

Seeing him, Kian immediately went to greet him. They exchanged a

glance without saying much else. Kian had already adopted a work

attitude and started reporting his work.

As Ayan listened, he walked towards the office. Kian used his

fingerprint to open the office door, following Ayan inside.

Once the office door closed, Kian ended the work report and spoke in a

low voice, "Mr. Simpson, Mario's secretary contacted me. She sent the

contract early in the morning. I've reviewed it, and there doesn't seem

to be any issues. Take a look when you get the chance!"

After Kian finished, he placed the contract on Ayan's desk, then his

gaze returned to Ayan, saying, "Mr. Simpson, the design competition

starts tomorrow. Someone from the Bill family took the same flight as

me to Hance City. Probably here to cheer on Crystal!"

"Just cheering on is fine. As long as there's nothing else, we don't need

to worry."

"Yeah, I understand. I've already had someone keeping an eye on it. If

anything happens, we'll know immediately.”

Ayan nodded lightly and said, "Go handle Elijah's matter in prison. If

what he said is true, I will fulfill my promise.”

"Alright, I got it. I'll go to the prison later.” Kian looked at Ayan with a

somewhat complicated expression. He spoke in a low voice, "Mr.

Simpson, have you really decided to collaborate with Mario?"

“Yeah, if the opportunity is presented, we should take advantage of it.

As for the future, we'll see.”

Mario must have done his homework to know that Simpson Group

wanted this project. Ayan had anticipated it the moment Mario spoke. If

he was this sincere, Ayan would give him a chance to prove himself.

Ayan looked at Kian and said, "You didn't tell Yessica about going to

Hance City, did you?"

“No, I only said it was a business trip. I know what's more important.

Yessica has a good relationship with Mrs. Simpson. I'm worried she

can't keep it a secret, so I won't tell her."

“That's good. I don't want her to know for now. I also don't want the Bill

family's people to disturb her. Understand?"

"Yeah, I understand!"

After responding to Ayan, Kian went straight to the prison. After some

connections and arrangements, Elijah was released two hours later.

However, he was released, but his name still lingered in the prison. So,

his release couldn't be publicized.

Kian drove to the prison to pick up Elijah. While driving, he glanced at

Elijah and asked, "Where do you plan to go?"

"Mr. Simpson didn't arrange a place for me to stay?"

“The information you provided to Mr. Simpson didn’t have much impact.

The only reason Mr. Simpson is keeping his promise is because the

information you provided was accurate. Do you think the information

you provided is enough to deserve these benefits from Mr. Simpson?"

Kian brought up the topic directly and continued driving. Elijah sat

silently, probably pondering Kian's words.

The atmosphere in the car remained quiet for nearly half a minute.

Then Elijah’s voice slowly sounded, "What else does he want to know

from me? Just ask!"

Seeing this, Kian was slightly surprised. Without consulting Ayan, he

didn't directly ask any questions. He just said to Elijah, "I can't make

decisions on this matter. Whatever Mr. Simpson wants to know, wait

until he's free to tell you in person. I'll arrange a temporary place for

you. Considering the need for discretion, it's best if you don't show your

face and leave the hotel without authorization.”

Kian took Elijah to a hotel under Simpson Group, which was naturally

very secure. He arranged trustworthy people to deliver three meals a

day to Elijah. After watching Elijah enter the room, Kian arranged two

people to stay opposite Elijah's room to keep an eye on him.

After completing this series of tasks, Kian reported the situation to Ayan

at Simpson Group.

Ayan didn't pay attention to Elijah's matter for now; let's leave it

hanging. As for whether Elijah would contact Preston, it depends on

how bold he is.

Ayan scheduled a meeting with Mario in the evening to sign the

contract. He left dinner time for Camille, planning to sign the contract

after having dinner with her, saving him from the need to deal with

Mario over a meal.

Ayan sent a message to Camille to arrange dinner, then moved on to

the next meeting.

On Camille's end, she and Sienna lounged around for the morning, and

in the afternoon, they planned to take a stroll around the venue of the

design competition.

The venue for this design competition is set at Hance City Sports

Center. The interior is still under preparation, so they can only walk

around the perimeter.

Sienna, holding Camille's hand, said, "I don't know why, but being here

feels like coming home. I don't feel nervous at all!"

Camille immediately scanned the surroundings, her reaction a bit overly

anxious and concerned, especially her eyes darting around. Sienna

curiously asked, “What are you looking at?"
