Chapter 686 Deep Water

Chapter 686 Deep Water

The coldness on her face was as cold as the winter weather, and her

eyes were filled with indifference as she froze for a moment.

Preston could feel the detachment and coldness of her questioning, but

he never had the slightest change of expression, and his tone was just

the same as before, he said, "Cami, I don't want to do anything, and I

don't have any purpose, I just don't want to watch you do things you

don't want to do for the sake of the company, we are friends, I naturally

want to do my best to make you not so much bothered of things."

"Since we're friends, all the more reason why you shouldn't act in such

a way, I'll only grow less and less if you do, and I don't find these things

annoying, so don't meddle in my affairs too much, okay?" Camille's

tone was raw and eager.

But Preston said, "You are not suitable for these diplomatic functions,

the water in this circle is very deep, I don't want you to make a big deal

out of it, you are just responsible for drawing as before, just do what

you want to do, the rest of these trivial things are left to me to handle

for you, Cami, I don't mean anything, I just want you to have an easy

time, if you don't want If you don't want me to interfere, then I'll arrange

for you to have someone else take over the matter, okay?"

"No, I don't need these."

"Cami!"

"I said I don't need to, I can do it on my own, everyone has to go

through a lot, it's impossible to be still all the time years, so I also ask

you to stop meddling can you?" Camille's tone is becoming less and

less patient, in the face of this kind of goodness from Preston she really

feels that it is not necessary.

Because she doesn't need or want it.

If she needed help, she would have asked Ayan long ago.

Because she felt that she could help once but not forever, there are

some things, especially work-related problems, this time to solve, then

the next time?

So she wanted to try it herself, and she also wanted to take Yessica

with her, so that at least she wouldn't be limited again when she

encountered the same problem in the future.

Preston did not respond, so naturally it was a no-no.

Camille wordlessly took a deep breath before saying, “If you don't say

anything, I'll take that as your default. Thank you for your kind words,

but I want to work on my own."

Camille hung up the call and then immediately called the manager who

had signed her contract and asked to be released.

The other side was very surprised and puzzled, and asked why Camille

just said, "It's not right!"

But that signing manager said, "Sorry Camille I can't say yes to you

directly for now because it's already signed and I need to apply with my

superiors.”

"Good, then I'll trouble you, I'll wait for your news, I've given you

trouble.”

After the phone call, Camille sat limp in her office chair, she sighed

heavily, her phone still clutched in her hand, and her mood was a bit

unspeakably depressing.

She could not help but ask herself if this was too impulsive. There is no

need to be impulsive just for the sake of the company, just tell Preston

not to make an exception, and as for this time just accept it gladly,

right?

But immediately after this thought popped up, another voice was

immediately telling her that she couldn't do it.

There is more than just a project involved.

Project no longer can be found in the new, but some things once

touched can not be changed.

Because she knows that Ayan does not like Preston, if she still insists

on accepting Preston's kindness, that would be unfair to Ayan, in

addition to there is a thorn in her heart, the matter about Grandma is

like a sharp fish thorn stuck in Camille's heart.

The signing manager who finished the phone call with Camille also

immediately told Preston the news, and Preston's response was

naturally reluctant.

He told the contract manager, "If you want to break the contract, you

can, so pay the breach of contract!"

The contract manager relayed the results to Camille, and as a

bystander, he said, "Camille, why are you breaking your contract?

There's no risk in this project, we're backed by the Hance City Museum,

it's a living sign, it's a sure thing for you and your company. Otherwise,

how bad would it be to pay for the breach of contract of a few million?"

Camille asked plainly, "You're Chew .... ... Benjamin's people, right?"

Camille actually wanted to ask if it was one of Preston's people, but

thought that Preston's name is now Benjamin in Hance City.

The contracting manager froze, and his stammering gave Camille the

answer as well.

So she has nothing to say.

And then Camille also consulted a lawyer friend, because the contract

was signed and already had legal effect. At that time, Camille also

asked about the breach of contract clause, but eventually signed, so

this was equivalent to accepting all the terms and requirements.

If you want to withdraw now, either the other party does not pursue,

after all, there is not yet any loss, as long as the other party is willing to

this matter is very good solution, or pay for breach of contract.

A breach of contract is not a small amount, even Ayan will also think

twice, to her even if she sold all probably only barely enough.

Camille spent the whole day at the office annoyed by the incident, but

even then she did not contact Preston again, because she knew that

even if she did, it would be of little use.

In the afternoon, Camille left the office early and drove back to Maple

Leaves Mansion.

She took the elevator directly to Ayan's floor. Ayan will go back to the

Simpson Group tomorrow morning, so she's staying home today.

She opened the door with the password and was still in the foyer when

she heard Ayan's voice from the living room, "Off duty?"

Ayan's gentle gaze followed, seeing the gravity and preoccupation on

her face.

He asked, "What's wrong? A look of displeasure.”

Camille pursed her lips slightly, walked over to sit in the empty seat

next to him, faced him, and confessed, "I need to tell you something."

"Go ahead."

Camille's face was serious, and she told Ayan the whole story clearly

and unambiguously, with her eyes fixed on his warm face and unable to

see his inner emotions.

Camille said, "Do you get angry?"

"Why should I be upset?" Ayan asked warmly and rhetorically, a faint

smile appearing between his eyebrows as he said, "Is that why you're

all upset because of this?"

She looked at Ayan with a bewildered expression: "Didn't you want me

to keep my distance from Preston? Now because of my negligence I

have to accept his favor to join the common project, and there may be

a lot of contact next, so you really are not angry?"

Ayan hooked his lips and smiled, his gentle eyes stared at her

unblinkingly, his gaze overwhelmed Camille, especially since his

silence made Camille even more clueless.

When Camille pursed her lips and wondered what Ayan was thinking,

he suddenly reached towards her, Camille looked at her in confusion,

he smiled slightly and nodded gently, Camille then lifted her hand and

landed on his palm.

He held Camille's hand tightly and brought the person to sit beside him,

a handsome face full of gentle smile, he said, "I am not angry, I am

happy, happy that you are willing to take the initiative to say to me, I

hope it can be like this in the future, I think I am worthy of your trust, so

you do not need to have any defenses and concealment from me, you

can tell me everything in a big way, with me around, don't be afraid no

matter what, en?"

Camille raised her eyes to meet Ayan's and she asked, "Would you like

me to work with him?"

"Why not, if it's a project that's coming to you? This project is connected

to the Hance City Museum, which is only good for you, and since

Preston has taken the trouble to let you join this project, it will have

many benefits for your company and future development, and don't you

want Yessica to be on her own? Then use this project to make her

study harder and learn better so that you don't need to work so hard in

the future, huh?"

Even Ayan thought the project would be good for Camille and the

company, which put Camille in a deep conflict.

She asked Ayan, "So you think I should work with him? Accept the

project even if I have to owe him this favor?”

Ayan did not want her to misunderstand, so he reached out and gently

cupped her chin and said in a clear tone, "In what role would you like

me to answer this question? As the father of your husband and children

or as Mr. Simpson of the Simpson Group?"
