"Okay, it's all up to you." Preston agreed without even thinking about it.
Molly was happier than winning the lottery.
After the call ended, Preston's face was covered with a cold, cool
expression, he clutched the phone and did not put it down, but lifted the
covers and got up from the bed, went to the floor-to-ceiling window and
leaned over to look out, before entering a series of numbers long
engraved in his memory to dial.
In this process of waiting for the other side to answer, Preston's breath
is subconsciously held.
It took nearly ten seconds after the beep for the other side to pick up.
The woman's faint voice carried warmth and softness: "Hello?"
He immediately said, "Cami, it's me."
Camille certainly knows it is him, although there is no note, but this
number has been called several times, naturally there is some
impression and memory.
Camille asked in a low muffled voice, "Do you ... something wrong?"
"Cami, I want to ask you a question."
"What's the problem?"
"You're at the museum now, right? Let me come over and meet you, I'll
meet you at the cafe next to the museum, huh?"
"Say what you have to say, I don't want any more misunderstandings
that can be avoided." Camille was referring to the video that had come
out, and although it was now behind her and she had reminded Preston
of it the day she returned to work at the museum after it was over, he
still didn't seem to have taken it to heart, or he wouldn't be asking to
meet again now.
Camille's detachment made Preston's expectation that had appeared
on his face instantly turn into indifference after loss, and he said, "Cami,
I just have something to ask you, is it even possible that Ayan has
already controlled you to such an extent?"
"What is it that you can't ask like that?" Camille was vaguely impatient,
and as for what he said about Ayan, she just skipped it and didn't
intend to respond.
For Preston, there is probably only a little bit of the old love left.
And because she remembered how good he had been to her, Camille
didn't want to tear up the last remaining love.
Her raw voice caused Preston to narrow his eyes along with her, his
voice warm and indifferent, "Have you seen Sean?"
Camille's eyes pause as she says, "I don't understand what you mean,
Sean is your secretary, how can I not have met Sean?"
"Cami, that's not what I'm asking, Sean has been out of touch with me
for a few days now, did you see him at Ayan's hands?" Preston tested
Camille, trying to get something out of Camille, he said, "Did Ayan have
some misunderstanding about me? So he thought he could ask
something by holding Sean in his hands? If he really had that in mind,
he could have just come to me, no need to hold Sean's hand."
Camille frowned slightly as she said, somewhat helplessly, "How did
Sean's lost connection end up in Ayan's hands? Does this have
anything to do with it?"
"Cami, I am not directly to the police for your sake but hope that you
talk to Ayan to release Sean, the police will also be more or less to
Ayan, do you also do not mind?"
"He didn't do anything, what's the impact? Since Sean's been missing
for days, you might as well call the police and let them help find
someone!" Camille kindly suggested.
This comment made Preston all emotional, Preston said: "Cami why do
you always take Ayan's side? You just believe that Ayan did not do
anything? Or even if he did you are still unconditionally on his side?
Right or wrong?"
Camille got up and walked out of the conference room because there
were some things she couldn't say in front of others, and the emotions
she was holding in her heart dispersed instantly as she said, "He's my
husband, there's nothing wrong with me being on his side, is there
Preston? What's the point of this?"
The bluntness of her question made Preston speechless.
She added: âIf you're asking me if Sean is in Ayan's hands or not? All I
can tell you is also only three words, I don't know, and if you don't
believe me, then you should call the police! After all, the police are fair
and impartial, and I think they will give you a satisfactory answer."
âIn Hance City, Ayan's land, what else is fair just?"
"If that's what you think, then why are you calling me on this number?"
âI just want you to be fair to me." Preston's tone was low and he was a
little emotional as he said, "Cami, you stand Ayan unconditionally like
this, what about him? Is he doing the same to you? You know he
doesn't love you, why do you still insist on this, can you really not let
him go like this?"
The expression on Camille's face instantly cold down, although Preston
has been a friend for many years, but time and again meddling in her
affairs, both words and certain actions have made her feel very
stressed and dissatisfied, so her tone is not much better attitude.
She said: "If you want to think so that is it, Preston, every time you
contact me to say something is accusing me, but I want to tell you is
that this is my business, I do not want others to intervene too much,
even if I choose the wrong, then I admit it, so you do not need to
remind me again and again to let me recognize the reality, even if he
does not love me, I also admit it. *
Camille is also a very rebellious person, the more a person sways her
thoughts and decisions in such a commanding tone, the less she will
listen, moreover, she is not a child, so why always order her in such a
way of educating children?
Each time, Preston began with a kind of active peacemaking, but
eventually his words annoyed Camille and then became more and
more stagnant.
After ending the call, both Camille and Preston's faces looked very
grave and gloomy.
Camille stood in the corridor and did not return to the conference room.
The expression on her face revealed how bored she was at the
moment, she sent a message to Ayan and asked him to meet her for
lunch later.
Because Ayan didn't hide it from her, she knew very well that Sean was
in Ayan's hands, but some things were not good to say over the phone,
so she still needed to talk in person.
After finishing his work, Camille drove directly from the museum to the
Simpson Group.
The next second her car drove out of the museum parking garage, a
black car also immediately followed her car keeping a safe distance
behind her.
Camille didn't notice, but drove carefully, her mind was also organizing
the design drawings that ended in the morning. Amber, who took over
the work from Louise, is a very competent architect, which also made
everyone's work efficiency increased, without those infighting and
contradictions, everyone cooperated with each other and basically
finalized the inner composition in one morning.
Camille arrived at the Simpson Group building and Ayan came out of
the building. He didn't drive and got directly into Camille's passenger
seat.
Camille couldn't help but laugh, "I'm sorry Mr. Simpson is sitting in this
car."
Ayan responded with an indifferent face, "It's okay, the driver is you, I'm
happy to delegate myself."
Camille looked at him with a grown-up look and continued to laugh, "So
may I ask Mr. Simpson if he can now fasten his full belt and go?"
"Yes." Ayan immediately put on his seat belt, then smoothly took one of
her hands and clutched it in his: "Drive!"
Camille jerked her hand, "Let go of me, how can I drive if you don't let
go of me?"
"Not with one hand?"
"Mr. Simpson, I'm a female driver, and you're comfortable letting me
drive one-handed?"
Ayan hesitated a little, then was defeated by the three words female
driver.
With her hands free, Camille took the wheel and stepped on the gas to
drive away from the Simpson building, Camille looked at the road and
asked, "What do you want to eat?"
âYou decide, I'll do as you say."
Ayan leaned back in the passenger seat, his gentle gaze fixed on
Camille for just a moment as he asked, "How was work today?"
âThanks to you, it went well.â Camille knew that Louise's company
suddenly arranged for another person to come over must be related to
Ayan.
Ayan didn't deny it either, just smiled.
His afterimage swept a glance through the rearview mirror
inadvertently, his dark eyes instantly narrowed, a cold chill flashed
under his eyes, and said indifferently, âDrive slower!"
