Chapter 776 Lovely

Sienna responded in a low voice, "Sorry, Zoey did contact me and I told

her your address for the event tonight."

"Hmm, at least you're honest,” Mario's face was as cold as ice and he

didn't say anything else.

They arrived back at the company and the driver got out early. Mario

said indifferently, "Sienna, don't waste your time. Since I brought you

back to Flento City, I have no intention of letting you leave again. You

better adapt quickly to my presence because I'm going to announce our

relationship publicly within the King family. We'll get married this year."

Without waiting for Sienna’s response, he had already pushed open the

car door and left.

His words shocked Sienna; she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Mario wasn't just talking or negotiating with her; he was informing her

that he had already made his decision.

Sienna didn't go upstairs with him but instead got out of the car in the

garage and took a taxi back to her apartment.

This news made it impossible for her to calm down.

She had to do something about it but what could she do?

After Camille talked on the phone with Sienna last night, she kept

thinking about their conversation. During breakfast with Ayan this

morning, she tried subtly asking about Rex's recent situation.

Camille asked mostly if Rex had been dating anyone recently or if there

were any women around him.

But Camille asked too many questions which annoyed Ayan who

asked: "Why are you so concerned about Rex?"

Camille hesitated before explaining: "I'm trying to help Sienna find out

more information.”

"Why doesn't she come herself?"

"She has things going on in Flento City, so if I don?? t help her, who

will?"

"Regarding Mario?"

Camille nodded

Ayan smiled faintly: “To deal with someone like Mario one must be even

tougher than him; only by being stronger, can she make him wary."

"But how can Sienna be stronger than him?" After all The King Family

is behind Mario!

Camille pursed her lips, looking worried while staring at Ayan asking:

"Just tell me if Rex is seeing someone."

“I don?? t know. 1?? m not interested in his private life," replied Ayan

calmly.

"Aren?? t you friends?" Camille couldn?? t help but complain - aren?? t

friends supposed care about each other?? s private lives?

Ayan looked up meeting Camile?? s gaze, saying firmly: "Why should

we be friends? But since 17? m not his mother, then why would I care

about his personal life?"

“Then why don't you invite him out for lunch with us? You can treat!"

"Camille, are you asking me to go out and have dinner with another

man and pay for it myself? Do you think that's fair?"

"Well, do you want to or not?" Camille's eyes threatened. If she was

holding a mirror in her hand, she would find she looked like someone

right now.

In the end, Ayan agreed naturally. Of course, he knew that Camille was

only doing this for Sienna. Seeing how worried she was and knowing

that he hadn't seen Rex in a while either, having lunch together

wouldn't hurt.

The three of them met at Darkmoor at noon.

Rex came alone naturally.

Rex couldn't help but ask when Ayan suddenly invited him out to eat

with his wife: "Why did you suddenly want to have dinner with me?

Ayan, do you miss me?"

"You're thinking too much.” Ayan denied indifferently before getting

straight to the point: "I wanted to ask if you've been dating any new

girlfriends lately."

Rex frowned subconsciously and looked towards Camille beside him

with a hint of laughter in his eyes: "Are you concerned about me so

much?"

Camille was also shocked by what Ayan said; this guy did it on

purpose?

Camille awkwardly smiled and said lightly: "Maybe he cares more

about you than I do.”

Rex laughed while Ayan continued speaking: "Well then are we friends

or not?"

"Of course we are friends,” Rex replied. "But I'm just shy so give me

some personal space!"

Ayan squinted his eyes slightly and said indifferently: "Okay then this

meal is on your tab."

“I'd be happy to treat Camille but Mr. Simpson, do I need to treat as

well?"

"She needs your treat?" Ayan snorted lightly.

The two bickered back-and-forth causing the atmosphere between

them become lively again.

As for the question earlier about whether Rex had a girlfriend or not -

he never answered directly in the end; obviously he already guessed

that it was something Camille wanted to know. And who was behind her

back, of course he understood clearly himself too.

During their conversation over lunch, Rex talked about work-related

topics which left no room for Camilla?? s input, so she just ate quietly

while scrolling through videos on her phone boredly.

Finally, she turned her head around sneakily took a side profile picture

of Rex without anyone noticing and sent it over Sienna saying: "Don??

t worry, he is still single. You keep going."

Sienna quickly replied:"OK."

Without saying much else, Camille thought that Ayan was busy, so she

didn't continue speaking. After finishing their meal, Rex went to pay the

bill and Camille took the opportunity to say to Ayan, “Is it not a bit unfair

for him to pay? After all, we invited him out. It feels like we're taking

advantage of him."

“If he doesn't pay then I'll have to. You're thinking about him but what

about me? He's a single guy who can eat his fill without worrying about

anyone else, but I have a wife and a kid to support. It's not easy for

me," Ayan said as if it were true. Especially when he mentioned ??

wife?? in such a natural way. Camille was momentarily stunned before

saying lightly, "Don't be ridiculous.”

Ayan smirked and reached out his hand to hold hers as they waited for

Rex's return before leaving Darkmoor together.

When they got back to the car, Rex suggested that they play basketball

together in a few days since Ayan had been busy lately and hadn't

been able to hang out with them much. Everyone in their circle had

been speculating whether or not he was whipped by his wife.

Ayan wasn't bothered by these rumors at all; with an attractive face

devoid of any emotion he replied coolly: “I can?? t make decisions on

my own now; you should ask my boss if she approves.”

His boss stared at him blankly for two or three seconds before finally

understanding what he meant.

Rex laughed and turned towards Camille: "Mrs. Simpson here has

done quite well! If you'd married him earlier, maybe I could work with

you instead of being bullied by this guy all these years!"

Camille smiled sheepishly and gently patted Ayan: “Stop talking

nonsense! You're making me look bad."

"Aren?? t you supposed to look successful?" asked Ayan teasingly.

“Look how much Rex admires you!"

Rex looked enviously at her while wondering when his significant

woman would come back.

"Cami," said Rex again after getting into the car,"Come play basketball

with us! I'm mainly inviting you rather than Ayan. It would be an honor

for us if you could join us."

Camille nodded her head in agreement: "Okay."

After watching Rex drive away in his car, Camille turned towards Ayan

and asked:"Do you think that something is different about Rex?"

"Camille, I'm warning you now; if you talk about other men in front of

me again, I will get angry."Ayan?? s voice became low and threatening

as he spoke.

Camille glanced at him, her eyebrows furrowed as she asked in a low

voice, "Why are you angry? Timmy is also another man. Are you also

angry?"

Ayan pursed his lips and remained silent, clearly not wanting to answer.

She continued, "Mr. Simpson, are you really angry?" She smiled lightly

and reached out to gently pinch his chin, turning his face towards her

like he did earlier. She said, "You look cute when you're angry. What

should I do? I want to tease you..."

She finished speaking and even winked at him with a hint of

playfulness in her eyes. This made Ayan almost grit his teeth as he

leaned over and kissed her until they both ran out of breath before

muttering hoarsely, "You really want to drive me crazy!"
