Chapter 1266 Examples
Kian: "It's already arranged. It's divided into two parts. Mr. Nores and
Mr. King are in charge of the guests outside, while you and Mr. Burris
will be in the private room."
"Well, let's go now!" Ayan said.
Then Kian led the four of them directly to the private room. The dining
room was only separated by a door from where the guests were eating.
Along the way, Kian explained to Ayan in detail, saying, "After Mr.
Nores and Mr. King finish toasting, they will come back to the private
room and have dinner with you. So, seats have been reserved for both
of them as well.â
Kian's words were actually meant for Rex. He was Ayan's secretary
and naturally knew about the situation between Sienna and Mario,
although not in great detail. He was one of the few people who knew
the most about it, apart from the parties involved.
Ayan instinctively glanced at Rex, and their eyes met. Rex calmly said,
âIt doesn't concern me. It doesn't matter. It's just a meal. Besides, this is
your territory."
Ayan's lips curved slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. He casually
replied, "I haven't said anything yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Rex fell silent this time. Although there were no outsiders present, he
still had his pride.
Camille gently tapped Ayan's arm with her finger, reminding him not to
continue. Naturally, Ayan fell silent.
When they arrived at the private room, Horace was already seated
inside.
Seeing the others, he immediately greeted them. Rex smiled and said,
"Horace, you're a bit too fast, aren't you?"
âI didn't mean to disturb you. I just came early to secure a seat for
myself.â
"Why didn't you go outside and get to know people?â
âI've already met those I needed to meet. The ones I don't know are
probably the ones I shouldn't know."
Horace was also quite straightforward, and his words brought smiles to
everyone's faces.
They all took their seats, and the guests outside also returned to their
tables under Mr. Nores' arrangement.
Then, the dishes were served in an orderly manner. After waiting for so
long, everyone was hungry, so the meal was enjoyed in silence.
The atmosphere among the five of them was quite pleasant, quiet yet
very comfortable.
Seeing Horace sitting alone, Sienna couldn't help but ask, âMr. Burris,
when are you going to bring your beloved back?"
Knowing who she was referring to but worried about being overheard
through the walls, they all referred to Grace as Horace's beloved.
Naturally, everyone at the table knew who they were talking about.
Horace felt a bit embarrassed by the question and replied, "I want to
bring her back as soon as possible, but you know the current situation.
The Armstrong family is still unwilling to let go. I can only rely on this
project to make a breakthrough.â
"Don't worry, we all support you," Sienna responded. After all, she had
experienced hardships herself, so she wanted to support others as
well.
Rex added, "Yes, we all support you."
Horace looked gratefully at both of them and said, "Thank you."
Camille also turned to Horace and said, "She seems to have exams
these days, right? She messaged me, but due to the time difference, I
always miss her. Ayan, can you visit her while you're on your business
trip and bring her some local specialties from Hance City?"
Ayan didn't respond with a yes or no because he was focused on
peeling shrimp for Camille. After finishing, he wiped his hands with a
wet towel and then spoke, âI won't bring them."
Ayan refused directly, leaving Camille stunned. When did he become
so unyielding? However, before Camille could speak, Ayan's voice rang
out, saying, âI've asked him to accompany me on the business trip and
consider visiting her as well."
All eyes turned to Horace in an instant.
Camille was the first to ask, "Have you thought it through? Are you
going to go with him?"
Horace put down his fork and spoke gently, "When do we depart?"
"Tomorrow night at the latest,â Ayan responded.
Horace seemed hesitant, but Sienna didn't wait for him to continue
pondering. Sienna said, "Don't you want to see your loved one? It's
been so long since you last met. She's all alone overseas, and aren't
you worried that she might develop feelings for someone else? Let me
tell you, girls are most likely to change their hearts when they're at their
most vulnerable. Because you can't be there for her all the time when
she needs you, she will naturally fall for those who are constantly by
her side."
After Sienna finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh, as if she had
seen such girls before.
Rex, in agreement with Sienna, chimed in, "I think she's right. Look at
Ayan and me, always by their side, and we still need to be on guard
against them falling for someone else. So, you should be more
attentive. It's best to take this opportunity to go with Ayan and see her."
Sienna rolled her eyes at Rex's words and said lightly, "Say what you
want, just don't involve me, okay?"
Rex quickly added, "I'm just giving an example, just an example.â
Their banter had become a habit, so no one found it strange.
Camille also turned to Horace and asked, "Do you have any concerns?
Or are you worried about the Armstrong family finding out? If it's just
those concerns, I think you can relax a bit. The Armstrong family might
not pay attention to you specifically. If you're not at ease, you can have
your secretary stay at Armstrong Corp. If there's anything you can't be
reached for, they can contact me. Although I can't be of much help, I
can buy your secretary some time!"
Camille spoke casually, but she actually hoped that Horace would go
and see Grace.
Although her bond with Grace wasn't as deep, Grace wasn't a bad
person. Especially later on, Grace treated her well. Camille also knew
how difficult it was to be alone, especially in a foreign country. Grace
had hardly ever left Hance City and her parentsâ side. It wasn't easy for
her to take such a big step.
Camille said to Horace, "Go and see her. Otherwise, if she really gets
taken away, I won't be able to help you."
Under everyone's persuasion, Horace began to waver.
So he nodded slightly and said, "Since you all say so, I'll comply. It's
about time I went to see her. It's just that there have been too many
things recently, and I haven't had the time. Now that there's an
opportunity and time, I'll go."
âThat's right. If you go, you can put your mind at ease. The most
important thing is to give her a surprise. I was originally planning to
prepare some local specialties for Ayan to bring to her, but since you're
going, I won't prepare them anymore. It's up to you to prepare now, and
it will also earn you some bonus points!"
"Okay, I'll take care of it," Horace agreed with a nod. After all, it was his
loved one, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.
As the group was chatting happily, the door to the private room was
pushed open from the outside.
Mr. Nores and Mario entered. The door was opened by the secretary,
and Mr. Nores was the first to step inside. Seeing everyone engaged in
conversation, he quickly spoke up, "What are you all talking about? I
hope we're not interrupting.â
