Chapter 1153: Concern

Camille subconsciously furrowed her brows, looking at Sienna with

some displeasure. Her expression seemed to convey, "Do you even

know what you're saying? What kind of thoughtless words are these?"

Sienna bit her lip slightly, her facial expression turning slightly subdued.

She said, "Oh, don't look at me like that. I'll feel a bit embarrassed.”

Camille sighed silently, then got up from the bed. Her mood seemed a

bit off. Sienna cautiously asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Camille's face still carried a hint of coldness. She asked Sienna in a low

voice, “I want to ask you a question."

Camille looked serious, making Sienna instantly nervous. Sienna

quickly asked, "What's the matter? About whom? Can you give me a

hint? You look serious, and it scares me a little."

Sienna also entered the bedroom, walked to the bedside, pulled over a

chair, and sat down. Her eyes had not left Camille's face since Camille

mentioned she had something to talk about.

Sienna’s strong curiosity was something Camille was well aware of. So,

seeing Sienna in this state, Camille wanted to tease her a bit.

Camille sighed lightly and said, "It's just a small matter, not really

someone's business. I just don't know how to make a choice. I'm afraid

my choice might be too harsh and unfair to the other party. But the

things the other party did are truly unreasonable, and it's a bit hard for

me to accept.”

After Camille finished speaking, Sienna's curiosity intensified.

Looking at Camille's current expression, Sienna became even more

surprised. She asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened?"

Camille said, "If I tell you, can you help me figure out what to do? And,

please keep it a secret?"

Sienna nodded eagerly, but her expression showed extreme unease.

She was afraid that the matter Camille was about to reveal was

something she didn't dare to guess. So, she displayed a mix of wanting

to know and being afraid to know.

Camille pretended not to notice her state, controlled the urge to laugh,

and then calmly spoke, “The recent events seem to be related to

Preston. Last night, I saw Kian messaging Ayan. He probably

suspected early on, so he had Kian investigate. He probably didn't want

me to know, fearing it would put me in a difficult position!"

With Camille's words, Sienna's eyes widened. She stared at Camille,

somewhat incredulous, and asked, "So, the thing you want to talk about

is related to Preston?"

"Yes!"

“That's not a big deal. You've got me all nervous for nothing.”

"What did you think it was about?" Camille chuckled lightly, her smile

suggesting, "Did you miss the juicy gossip?"

Rolling her eyes, Sienna'’s expression turned somewhat melancholic.

She said, "I thought you were going to talk about something between

you and Ayan."

"What could there be between him and me?"

"No, nothing. That's why I was worried and nervous."

Camille, mimicking Sienna’s tone and demeanor, asked, "Did Rex say

something to you?"

"What did he say?" Sienna looked puzzled. Camille casually said,

"Didn't he tell you anything about Ayan?"

"Of course not. We never discuss anything related to him privately."

Perhaps worried that Camille wouldn't believe her, Sienna hurriedly

added, "I promise you, absolutely not. If there's anything, I would

definitely be the first to tell you."

Camille smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Really, I was just asking

casually. Your reaction makes me wonder if you're hiding something

from me."

Camille winked playfully, prompting Sienna to quickly change the

subject, saying, “Let's talk about something else. Honestly, if we

continue like this, we might end up going our separate ways today."

Sienna laughed and continued, "Why are you worried about Preston's

matter? It has nothing to do with you. Whatever he decides to do is his

personal problem. As for you, although you and he are friends, it's just

friendship. After all this time and everything that has happened, do you

still feel guilty? Cami, we are indeed kind people, but our kindness

shouldn't be squandered by others, right?"

Sienna's patient analysis and consolation made Camille nod gently.

Camille squinted slightly, silently took a deep breath, and then said

calmly, "You're right. I shouldn't have any worries. I shouldn't let his

actions stress me because it's not something I caused. It's all his

personal behavior, isn't it?"

"Yes, so why worry?"

"Right, you're correct.”

"Did you instantly feel better? No discomfort at all in your heart?"

Camille nodded lightly and said, "Yes."

"See, see? I guess I'm the one you love more, right? Am I the one who

holds more weight in your heart? If I dare say I'm second, no one would

dare claim to be first."

"Well, you're right. What you say is always right. So, second, can we go

out now?"

"Sure, get up.”

Camille got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and then went out

with Sienna.

The two had the driver take them to their usual mall. Sienna had

already arranged everything in advance. When they arrived at the

brand store they were visiting today, the store manager had already

brought out the new products to the VIP room, waiting for them. Even

though the gifts were for the company's employees, with the

sponsorship money from Rex, Sienna didn't mind spending it. She

wasn't even the least bit reluctant.

Sienna gave handbags to the women and wallets to the men. Though

there was a price difference, women often needed handbags for

various occasions, and sometimes a woman's war against others could

be won with just one bag.

After shopping, the driver helped carry their things to the car, and then

the two went to another store to buy gifts for themselves. Camille

bought a matching long skirt. When she saw the dress, she couldn't

help mentioning the events of Talia coming over last night. She told

Sienna all the details, who burst into laughter, completely oblivious to

the fact they were still in public.

Camille almost wanted to escape and pretend not to know her.

After she finished laughing, Sienna slowly said, "Sorry, I couldn't help it.

It's just too funny. Who is this fairy godmother? She's practically a

goddess from heaven. Think about it. If Ayan really abused you,

wouldn't she have chopped him on the spot?"

Camille looked at Sienna with an expression of speechlessness. Her

eyes were a bit too cold, lacking any trace of emotion. She asked

calmly, "So, should I ask him to beat me?"
