It was Ayan calling. Camille glared at Sienna and said, "if it was Molly, it
would make sense. After all, she's always had a problem with me and
thinks I'm chasing Preston.â
"There's something really wrong with the Walker family. Come on, pick
up the phone!"
Sienna had no good feelings for both Preston or Molly.
Camille pressed her lips and answered.
The man's gentle voice came through the phone and he said, "Give
Sienna a ride back with your company car.â
"Well?"
Camille scanned around and finally saw the familiar license plate not
far away.
She heard a man's voice saying, "Will you take my car?"
He asked softly, and Camille heard a touch of pleading.
A faint smile crossed her lips, and the thought of what he had said in
the lounge today touched her.
She said yes in a low voice.
When she hung up the call, Sienna gave her a weird look.
"You can't hide the sweetness coming out from your eyes."
âYou go back with them and wait for me. Tell Preston to meet me in the
company.â
"Well, this Ayan. He called me several times when he begged me to
come to Hance City. Now I'm useless to him after he got his wife back.â
She's complaining in a friendly way.
Camille knew she was difficult to please, so she reminded her, saying,
"Rex's in the car, too. Do you want to get in?"
"Bye-bye. We are leaving.â
Sienna quickly said goodbye, then opened the door and got in.
Immediately telling Liam to drive. The whole process was very smooth
without the slightest delay.
Camille watched as the car pulled away, then she walked back to
Ayan's car.
As she got into the car, she put on her seat belt, looked over at Ayan,
and asked, "shouldn't you be having lunch with someone else?"
It's lunchtime.
Ayan took one look at her, then drove his car and said quietly, "how can
I eat after all this?"
Camille understood him and knew what he meant.
She pressed her lips slightly and said nothing. It annoyed her to think
that Molly had something to do with it.
Ayan didn't know what she was thinking but assumed that her silence
was due to today's unexpected circumstances.
He said, "someone else stole the artwork but you didn't tell me. In that
case, you should have come to me directly. The staff on the scene also
know you. As long as you asked, the competition could be temporarily
paused.â
Of course, Camille thought about it, but it wouldn't be fair to others. If
she did, would someone make a big deal out of it?
That was why she gave up the idea and had second thoughts.
Camille whispered, "it's ok now, right? It means I'm blessed.â
"You are so positive."
âI'm the one who feels bad if I choose not to get over with it. Do you
want to make me feel bad?"
She asked Ayan back, and he was speechless. Naturally, he did not
want that to happen.
Because he was driving, otherwise he really wanted to pinch her cheek.
He had been especially fond of squeezing her face these days. Her
face was very smooth and gentle. Because her appetite had improved
these days and her face was a little chubby.
He had been driving for half a minute and stopped at the traffic light.
When he stopped, he reached for her hand and said in a deep voice, "I
asked Kian to look this up. Irene, the designer, is a friend of Molly. I'll let
Kian send you some documents later. You can check if you need them.
Camille already knew Irene was related to Molly, but she didn't expect
Ayan to find out more. As for what he had asked Kian to send, it was
obviously very useful.
She must admit that Mr. Simpson was really good at it!
Camille whispered, "so you had someone check on Irene in the first
place?"
"Of course. Shall I let her bully you?"
"Ayan, you're so sweet."
She smiled slightly.
Ayan snorted, "Only now I'm sweet?"
Camille, with a deeper smile on her face, didn't answer the question but
said, "thank you."
Ayan didnât respond because he didn't want to hear those words.
âYou did really well today," Ayan said casually, âYou passed the
preliminary, and it had nothing to do with me, it was all your own ability.
I was not involved in the whole process with the judges, so well done.â
Camille got silent.
His words seemed to read her heart. She had been worried about
whether her achievement today had something to do with Ayan. After
all, she had been prepared for the worst, but now Ayan told her she did
I on her own.
Camille lowered her eyes and said nothing for a few seconds.
Then she nodded her head. "Okay."
Ayan gave her a deep look. The light turned green. He took his hand
back to the steering wheel and started the car again.
He drove her back to work without accompanying her because he
couldn't get involved in what Camille had to deal with.
Camille took the elevator up alone. Preston already found out that the
design had been temporarily stolen from Yessica and others, along with
the Livestream.
When Camille got back, she went straight to Preston and closed the
office door behind her.
Preston looked at her and said before Camille could speak, âI'm sorry,
Cami, I didn't know Molly was going to do this. I called her and asked
her to come down here right away."
Before Camille could say anything, he was coming clean.
So, he knew Irene too.
Camille said casually, "Preston if this is hard for you, don't get involved.
I'll confront Molly myself, huh?"
"No, don't worry, I won't coddle her this time, she is an adult, she
should take responsibility for what she did. What's more, it's not a small
deal. It's your hardworking. I know the priority."
Camille nodded. As Preston could think like that, she wouldn't say
more.
Molly arrived at work ten minutes later.
She walked straight into Preston's office and saw Camille was there
too. She looked terrible.
She looked at Preston. "Brother, why is she here with you? Don't you
have something you want to talk about with me? Ask her to get out
now. I don't want to see her. "
"Molly, will you stop being so childish? " Preston's voice was cold and
he looked very serious.
Molly had felt a fear of him since the last time he had hit her. Because
of the things that only the two of them knew in private, she now felt less
and less acquainted with Preston, and could hardly go against him.
"Brother..."
Preston asked, "Molly, did you steal Cami's designs for Irene to use?"
Molly startled slightly and immediately responded. "Brother, that's why
you sent me here to question me? Did she tell you that? Did she put
you up to it?"
Molly pointed to Camille. She looked unpleasant. "Camille, what do you
mean? You're trying to turn me against my brother, aren't you? Do you
have any proof that I did it? If not, don't talk nonsense."
âIrene is your friend, isn't she? Her designs for the competition are
mine, so who else could be apart from you?" Camille stared at her with
no expression.
Molly laughed. "She's my friend, but what proof do you have that her
design was yours? Aren't you just jealous of Irene?"
âI don't know her. Why should I be jealous?" Camille felt both helpless
and amused.
