Chapter 1208: Infatuation

Chapter 1208: Infatuation

Camille was telling Sienna not to abandon Rex and the Ward family

because of Mario or the people and reasons related to the King family.

It must be said that Camille really understood Sienna well. She easily

saw through Sienna's thoughts and concerns. Sienna had indeed

considered it, but it was only because she didn't want to let go and

wanted to try harder. If one day her efforts still didn't lead to any results,

she would probably give up, right?

But now, Camille directly exposed these thoughts, leaving Sienna

momentarily at a loss for words. Both of them fell into a brief silence.

Camille remained silent, giving Sienna some time to reflect calmly,

while Sienna was silent because she didn't know how to respond to

Camille's words.

Time passed second by second, and Camille glanced at the time, then

gently reminded her, "Do you need so much time to think? Don't you

even want to give me such a simple answer?"

Sienna smiled, but her smile was uglier than crying. She pinched her

own face forcefully and said, "Stop it, don't smile. It's uglier than crying.

If you really don't know how to answer, then listen to me. Get married

quickly and have children.”

Camille didn't say anything more, and after a long silence, Sienna said,

“I promise you, I will do it."

Camille didn't respond either. Since she had made her decision, she

would surely follow through with it. However, Camille still had some

concerns about this matter. When she returned home in the evening

and had dinner, she mentioned it to Ayan, asking him to remind Rex to

pay attention to Sienna's condition at all times, spend more time with

her, and not let her bear unnecessary pressure by herself.

Ayan naturally hinted to Rex about it, and Rex made great efforts

accordingly. As a result, their relationship grew even closer.

As for Mario, he was probably busy with the new project recently. The

project had officially started. The land underwent soil testing, and then

it would be decided whether it would be used for commercial purposes

or residential purposes.

While waiting for the results, the Nores family suggested having a meal

together, claiming it would allow them to get familiar with each other for

future cooperation. In reality, they wanted to please Ayan and Mario

during this opportunity. Horace was naturally present at the dinner, but

Armstrong Corp was not as influential as the Nores Group, so their

position was not as good.

However, the Nores family didn't dare to directly invite Ayan, so they

had to go through Kian to contact him. Kian's response naturally

required an appointment because Ayan had a busy schedule, and it

was uncertain when they could meet.

The Nores family could only place all their hopes on Mario, hoping that

he could arrange a meeting with Ayan. Mario happened to have some

details to discuss with Ayan, so without much thought, he directly

contacted Kian to secure Ayan's time.

Kian immediately asked Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, would you like to accept

the invitation?"

With invitations coming one after another, Ayan naturally sensed the

underlying reasons. Since the Nores family was so eager to invite him

for a meal, and coincidentally, he had no plans for tonight, he agreed.

However, he wanted to bring someone along.

After all, it was a dinner, and he couldn't go alone.

Mr. Nores informed Alicia about the news and emphasized the

importance of her behavior that evening. He said, "Tonight, it's crucial

that you conduct yourself appropriately and avoid upsetting Ayan in any

way. Don't provoke him or interfere with his ex-wife, as he is still fixated

on her. It's essential that you understand the situation and, most

importantly, avoid offending his ex-wife."

Alicia felt dissatisfied because she believed she was superior to

Camille. She believed she was the right match for Ayan and could

support him in his work. She considered Armstrong Corp, Camille's

company, insignificant and incapable of providing any assistance to

Ayan.

Although Nores Group was not as prestigious as Simpson Group, it still

surpassed Armstrong Corp by a considerable margin.

Alicia pursed her lips and responded, "Dad, it's not that Ayan isn't

interested in me. The main reason he appears distant is because his

ex-wife has been harassing him. If it weren't for her, he would definitely

be attracted to me."

"Are you even listening to me?" Mr. Nores questioned, clearly

displeased. He continued to stress the importance of not being

paranoid, but Alicia found him annoying and disregarded his advice.

Mrs. Nores chimed in, saying, "Stop talking about yourself, dear. Our

daughter is exceptional. She's beautiful, and Ayan is a man. Once he

sets his heart on Alicia, it will benefit our Nores Group in the future.”

Mr. Nores looked at both of them with discontent in his eyes. He was

tired of explaining things to these two, as it felt like talking to a stubborn

cow.

Reiterating his point sternly, Mr. Nores reminded Alicia once more,

adding, "Remember what I said, Alicia. If you dare to do anything that

upsets Ayan and his ex-wife, dragging the Nores family into their

issues, I won't care about you anymore.”

Alicia wasn't intimidated. As the sole daughter of the Nores family, she

didn't believe his threat.

However, she nodded to appease Mr. Nores, and he didn't say anything

more on the matter.

For the evening meal, Alicia accompanied Mrs. Nores to the beauty

parlour to ensure she looked stunning and made a lasting impression

on Ayan.

Around 3:30 p. m., Ayan left the office early.

Instead of having the driver take her, Alicia insisted on driving with Kian

to Camille's office.

Upon arriving at Camille's workplace, Ayan didn't immediately call her.

Instead, he asked Kian to purchase a dozen cups of coffee, opting for

the most expensive ones that the employees wouldn't typically indulge

in. After Kian returned with the coffee, Ayan personally carried the tray

upstairs.

Despite carrying a dozen cups, Ayan's tall, straight figure, remarkable

demeanor, and handsome appearance were unaffected. He exuded

charm as he made his way up, becoming an enchanting sight.

The building housed numerous companies, so employees frequently

used the elevator. Naturally, many of them noticed Ayan. He maintained

a low-key presence, keeping his head down and revealing only

glimpses of his face. However, one girl hiding in the corner of the

elevator summoned her courage and discreetly took a photo to share

with her coworkers in their small group chat.

"OMG, help! Our domineering president has arrived."

"So handsome!!!"

"Freshly snapped photos. If you miss them, don't blame me for not

notifying you all. We're in the same elevator. It's unbelievable. I might

cry. How did I get this incredible stroke of luck?"

“I'm going to explode. Why is our president so incredibly handsome in

the elevator? I envy your luck. Wait, I'm dropping everything and

heading to the elevator entrance, hoping for a chance encounter.”

“I'm going too!"

"Wait for me! I'm coming too."

As they continued to admire the photos, their infatuation grew, and they

became completely overwhelmed by their uncontrollable admiration.

Of course, Ayan was oblivious to the thoughts of these girls. Upon

reaching Camille's company floor, he stepped out of the elevator. The

receptionist immediately recognized him and hurriedly stood up, saying,

"Good afternoon, Mr. Simpson!"

Ayan nodded lightly and placed the tray of coffee on the countertop.

"Thank you for distributing these to everyone," he said.

The girl quickly nodded in gratitude as Ayan carried the remaining two

cups and made his way directly to Camille's office.

Inside the office, Camille and Sienna were engrossed in a lively

conversation, completely unaware of Ayan's impending arrival. It was

evident that they hadn't anticipated him showing up at that moment.

Their conversation flowed without restraint, and Sienna asked Camille,

“You and Ayan seem to be growing closer even after the divorce. Are

you two role-playing or something?"
