Chapter 689 Preference
Camille looked confused as she asked in a low voice, "Mom, did Ayan
tell you all this?"
"Yeah, if he hadn't told me, you certainly wouldn't have told me
anything, obviously did a lot but refused to say a word to the family, his
foot is getting better day by day, if you think he's annoying, get rid of
him, never show mercy, we all support you unconditionally.â
Talia's words are full of preference for Camille, although she has
always been very affectionate to Camille, but every time she shows her
preference for Camille is not the kind of false love mouth to say but
actually do not do, Talia's preference is not only from the heart to say,
usually is also so true to do out.
Although it was not the first day that Talia and the Simpson family had
been kind to her, Camille was touched and reached out to hug Talia,
"Mom, thank you."
Talia was all smiles: "Why are you so polite with your mother? You are
my daughter just like Aria, as for Ayan, he is half son-in-law and half
son!"
Camille was laughing her ass off.
Then I heard Talia ask, "Cami, mommy asked you if you and Ayan are
together?"
Talia's gossipy face and smiling eyes look like a mommy fan who is
high on cp online.
Camille was caught by this question, her heart subconsciously reflected
the scene of that night, thinking of those, her cheeks instantly became
hot, her eyes also some uncomfortable drooping, she silently asked
herself, Ayan even told Talia this?
She immediately dismissed that Ayan would not.
Could it be that Talia discovered something on her own?
Camille fluttered her eyelashes and Talia stared at her waiting for an
answer. After several seconds of no response, Talia asked in a low
voice, "Cami?"
Camille looked back up, her eyes meeting Talia's again, and she said,
"Mom, who are you listening to?"
Talia's eyes are gentle: "No one said, just my own guess, because
Ayan went straight back to you after he was discharged from the
hospital, I thought since you promised to take him in, you must be
willing to give him a chance, so I wanted to ask how your current
situation is? If you don't want to answer then don't answer.â
After Talia finished, she went back to talking to Camille about Timmy,
not caring about this topic at all, because she didn't want to put
pressure on Camille, if they can be good she is happy to be a mother-
in-law and mother.
As for the question, in the end Camille didn't answer it because Talia
didn't ask it again and urged her to get in the car after she finished
Timmy.
Leaving the Simpson's mansion, Camille drove straight to the office.
She had just arrived at the office on her front foot, followed by a call
from Ayan, who acted as if he had installed a monitor on her.
Camille grunted lightly and pressed "no" directly, after which Ayan did
not call again, only as if she was busy and did not bother her.
Camille and Yessica left the office around 6:00 p. m. Camille's car was
parked in the parking lot directly in front of the building when she came
over in the afternoon, so the two of them came out of the building and
went straight towards the parking lot.
Before she could get to her car, though, Preston's call came in.
When Camille saw that it was him, she didn't even think about it and
pressed mute and pretended she didn't hear it.
Yessica thought it was Ayan calling, so she was a bit concerned, but
also a bit booed, after all, during the day Kian sent her a message
asking her about Camille's evening schedule and she told the truth, but
when she thought about it, she thought it was nothing, after all, she was
also worried about Camille, and she still had a sense of what to say
and what not to say.
Unaware of Yessica's thoughts, Camille simply responded to her words
lightly, "No more answers."
Just as Camille's words fell, a polite man's voice was heard from the
side: "Miss Armstrong."
It's Sean, Preston's secretary.
Camille and Yessica's eyes looked over together, Sean hung his head
slightly, his voice was gentle and polite: "Miss Armstrong, our Mr.
Baxter is here to pick you up, Mr. Baxter said it's more convenient to go
together, and it's not too safe to drive at night, Miss Armstrong should
come with us. Miss Armstrong should take a car with us!"
Due to Yessica's presence, Sean's name for Preston was not Mr.
Walker.
Camille's eyes were warm and light as she stared at Sean, who was
respectful to her with every word, but there was something indefinable
about the indifference and inexplicable look under his eyes.
It was as if she was displeased, but full of respect and politeness, so for
a while Camille looked a bit entranced.
It was only when Yessica gently tugged at her clothes that she came
back to her senses and spoke indifferently, âNo, I'll drive myself."
"Miss Armstrong better take a car with Mr. Baxter, so that it is good for
Miss Armstrong next project, and Mr. Baxter has come to wait for a long
time, Miss Armstrong with me a piece of it." Sean said, but also forgot
to indicate Camille look at the roadside parked the black business car,
Preston stood next to the car also has been watching this side.
Probably will Sean can't get Camille, he simply lifted his feet directly
towards this side.
It was close to closing time, and people were coming and going.
Camille didn't want to draw any attention to herself, let alone bring Ayan
and the Simpson family into the conversation because of the afterglow.
So while Preston was still in front of her, she indifferently said to Sean,
âNo, since I am the architect selected for this time, it is better to keep a
little distance.â
After saying that, she already took Yessica's hand and walked quickly
to her car.
The two men got in the car and it immediately took off, and the car slid
past Preston without stopping to leave.
Preston had stopped standing still when he saw her leave, and at the
moment he was not showing any emotion, just saying indifferently,
"Go!"
Sean angled his head and immediately followed Preston's lead.
After sitting in the car, Sean then spoke: "Mr. Walker, in fact, we can not
deliberately come over, after all, Miss Armstrong will not be for a
cooperation to lose a huge amount of breach of contract, anyway, this
project Miss Armstrong is necessary to participate in, you simply do not
need to take the initiative to show her good.
Preston's face was warm and indifferent, but the displeasure under his
eyes was somewhat obvious. He swept a glance at Sean, who
immediately said, "Sorry, I'm the one who talked too much, and I just
don't want to see Miss Armstrong treat you like this, without giving you
any face at all.â
"That's enough!" Preston's face was cold, and a cold warning spilled
out of his eyes, "It's not your turn to tell me how she treats me, I told
you, this is between me and her, no one else has the right to point
fingers at her but me."
âI'm sorry Mr. Walker, I overstepped my bounds.â
"Drive."
Preston indifferent command, and then no more words, but the
expression on his face is always unpleasant, until he arrived at the
hotel for dinner tonight he did not say a word.
When Preston arrived, all the selected architects were already there,
and the remaining ones besides the architects were the project team
responsible for hosting the bidding session, and naturally, the owner
behind the project team was Preston.
The manager in charge of signing with Camille was the only one who
knew that Camille had been handpicked by Preston to join the project,
so he naturally offered Camille a lot of attention: "Camille, please sit
down first, we'll be open when Mr. Baxter arrives. I'll go get it for you?"
