Chapter 274 - Withdrawal from the competition
Ayan didn't say anything and simply cut off the call.
Sienna is satisfied, who told him to rush Camille away last night and not
to spend more time with her?
Hmm.
In this world, only women and villains should not be offended.
Sienna put down Camille's phone and swept her gaze lightly over to the
two men chatting over there, her eyes flushed with hesitation, intending
to give them five more minutes.
Camille came to the office early in the morning and took precautions
with Yessica several people, she said that there was a possibility that
the competition might be terminated and hoped that Yessica and the
girls would not be discouraged, it was not their mistake and it was not a
matter of their ability.
Yessica and the three of them thought very openly and were prepared
for this, they said, "We are fine, this time there is no fate in the
competition, isn't there another time? As long as your first choice of
assistant is still us next time, that's enough.â
With a smile on her face, Camille stated, "You will be my first choice
whenever I enter a competition.â
This statement is certainly a guarantee.
That was enough for Yessica and the others.
Several people also even agreed that they will not let this matter affect
the motivation to move forward and work hard.
But Preston knew about it, and he immediately approached Camille for
a chat alone.
So at the moment the two are talking about it.
Preston said, "Cami, the reason why I insisted on filling in for you as
the architect of the collapse, besides not wanting you to be threatened
by public opinion and abuse, was most of all because of the design
competition.â
Camille looks at him wordlessly.
He continued, "This competition is the heart and soul of you and
Yessica and the others, it's not easy to get to this point, especially
because you almost lost your entry to the preliminary round because of
Molly, if not for these accidents, you would have had absolutely no
obstacles to take the title.â
"So I hope you can listen to me, not for your own sake alone, more
over or for Yessica and their three trust as well as the future
development of the company, do you think?"
Camille remained silent for a long time, what did she not understand
about what Preston said?
It's not easy for a newcomer to meet the right opportunity.
But an opportunity missed, there will be opportunities later.
But she didn't want Preston to take her place as an architect simply
because she didn't think it was necessary.
Even if you take over now, what can you do?
Everyone knows that she was the architect of the collapse, and even if
she puts Preston out there now, it will only make the outside world
distrust her more and more, and not only that, it will drag the Simpson
Group and more people down with it, so she doesn't want that.
After all, even a child knows to take responsibility for doing something
wrong, let alone she is an adult.
So Camille declined anyway.
She said: "Preston, this matter should not be said again, I do not agree,
this is not only unfair to you, to others is a kind of deception, not to
mention that the accident is not my fault caused, so I do not want to
escape and do not want to shirk responsibility! *
The accident wasn't caused by her mistake, so she doesn't need to
care what people think, let alone what they say.
That's what Ayan told her last night.
It made sense to her, and rightly so.
Why be vain about something you haven't done?
Her insistence made Preston blush slightly, and he actually wanted to
say something else, except that Sienna's voice suddenly rang out,
"Finished talking?"
Camille and Preston both turned around subconsciously.
Camille asks, "What's wrong?"
Sienna: "Ayan called for his wife, I think there's something going on?"
Camille frowned, eyes uncomprehending, staring at Sienna with a
questioning face, what the hell?
Sienna, however, pretended not to be able to read: "Hurry up and go
return the call!"
After saying that, she has turned around and walked away.
The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.
Camille pursed her lips slightly and looked at Preston: "Preston, I'll go
return a call then, and as for what you just said, I understand your good
intentions."
"Okay, you go ahead."
He nodded lightly, his face faintly pale, almost difficult to see the
emotions and ripples.
The second after Camille lifted her foot to leave, a cold fade came to
his face.
No matter what he said, she wouldn't.
This made Preston wonder, did Ayan say something to her?
Preston narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sly coldness flashed under
his eyes.
Camille went back to her office and she casually closed the door and
asked, "What the hell did you just do?"
"What the fuck?"
âYou said Ayan called me?"
"Yeah, look at the phone yourself if you don't believe me."
Camille picked up her phone and clicked on the call log. Ayan had
indeed called.
Camille asked Sienna as she returned the call, "What's wrong with
him?"
"No." Sienna responded lightly, and then said unsteadily, âBut I said
something bad about you."

Camille looked puzzled, but Ayan's voice was already in her ear,
"Finished with your work?"
"Well..."
"Having fun talking to your suitor?"
The man's low voice carried a clear note of displeasure.
She paused slightly and subconsciously looked over at Sienna the
culprit was smiling slightly at her.
She told Ayan, "It's not a chat, just another discussion about work."
"So the suitor is Preston?"

Camille lost her voice.
Ayan sneered, "What do you think I should do with you?"
Although the words are cold, but the tone of voice is helpless.
Camille said, "Siennaâs talking nonsense, you can get back at her."
No way, friends are used to betray.
Because it was inconvenient through the phone, Camille didn't continue
to explain anything.
As for Ayan, naturally, he minded.
He said faintly, "Write a five-hundred-word review."
"Ayan," Camille said a little helplessly, pursing her lips lightly, "Have
you forgotten what Grandpa said last night?"
"So you're threatening me?"
"Sort of."
Ayan smiled lightly: "With grandpa to back you up the sky is not afraid
of the earth?"
"So are you listening?"
Camille asks.
He compromised: âListen, if not you shall not ask grandpa to give you a
new husband?"
Camille immediately digressed from the topic, if we continue to talk
about it, it may be her fault again.
She asked, "So what did you just call me about?"
"About the design competition, if this matter is not resolved before the
start of the second round, there may be some dissenting voices
appearing, and I know you will not withdraw from the competition or
give up halfway, so I want you to be mentally prepared in advance.â
This is the second time today that this matter has been mentioned to
her.
Only the former was hoping to take her place as an architect to allow
her to compete smoothly, while the latter was to prepare her mentally to
face the different voices.
In contrast perhaps many people would choose the former.
But she does not hesitate to choose the latter.
People will always grow and it is unrealistic to rely on others for the rest
of your life.
A serious expression also flooded Camille's face as she said, "I know,
don't worry about it."
"Don't worry it's not just you talking about it I can really do it, if it really
affects your mood, I will let you withdraw from the race, then no temper
tantrums with me, en?"
He put the ugly words in front of him, just don't want her to be angry
and unhappy when it really happens.
