Chapter 834: Surprise

Chapter 834: Surprise

When Camille heard the man's voice, she instantly turned her head to

look at him. She stared at Ayan for a few seconds, her eyes widening

slightly, and her expression becoming somewhat flustered. "No," she

said.

Ayan crossed his arms in front of his chest, his gaze calm and collected

as he looked at her. The look in his eyes seemed to be telling Camille

not to pretend, as if he had already guessed everything.

Camille didn't want to look at him. She directly avoided his gaze, closed

the drawer, and stopped looking. She pretended to search around, and

finally took out two pairs of socks. She said, “You didn't help me pack

socks. I want to bring two pairs.”

After saying that, she walked past Ayan without looking at him and

stuffed the two pairs of socks into her suitcase.

This episode passed quickly, and Camille's embarrassment didn't last

long.

The driver took the two of them to the airport, and along the way, Ayan

held her hand and took care of her.

They had dinner on the plane, and since it was a nearly three-hour

flight, after they finished eating, Ayan found a newly released movie for

them to watch together.

Shortly after the movie ended, the plane landed.

Ayan had already arranged for a car to pick them up, and they were

taken directly to the hotel they were staying at.

After putting down their luggage, it wasn't too late. Camille took a

shower, changed into fresh clothes, and put on a light makeup. Then,

she finally dialed Sienna's number.

She hadn't told Sienna beforehand that she was coming, as they had

only discussed coming to Flento City last night, and now she was

already here.

Wasn't this surprise surprising enough?

Camille had already started imagining Sienna's reaction when she saw

her. She must be very surprised and happy, right?

Sienna answered the phone, her voice sounding a bit tired. "What's

up?"

Camille asked, "What's wrong? You don't sound very happy!"

“You're not here with me, how can I be happy?"

"Is that so?"

“Do I sound like I'm lying to you?" Sienna gave a light snort, her face

showing extreme displeasure. She said, "Just say it, why did you call

me? Are you going to tell me about you and Ayan and make me

envious again?"

“I'm not that kind of person.” Camille smiled faintly. Ayan was sitting on

the other side and didn't disturb her phone call, but his gaze had been

fixed on her the whole time. Camille felt a bit shy being watched,

furrowed her brows slightly, gave him an annoyed glance, and then

turned away to give him her back. She said softly, “Where are you right

now? Are you outside or back at your apartment?"

Sienna replied, "I just arrived at my apartment building.”

"Just got back?"

"Yeah." Sienna frowned, feeling something unusual about Camille's

chattering. She asked, "Why are you asking so many questions? Do

you have some ulterior motive?"

Camille: "Don’t misunderstand me, I just want to give you a surprise.

I've prepared a gift for you, and it should be delivered by a courier

soon. It would be best if you quickly go upstairs, take a shower, and

change into a different outfit to welcome the arrival of the gift.

Otherwise, the courier will record a video for me, and if I see you

looking messy, I'll definitely laugh at you. Maybe I'll even send it directly

to Rex, and then your image will be completely ruined. But don't blame

me for that, I already reminded you, right?"

Sienna asked somewhat skeptically, "Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking? Let me check the time... hmm... it should take

around half an hour, maybe a bit more. Should you have enough time?"

After Camille finished speaking, she stood up, and Ayan immediately

followed suit. They walked out of the hotel, heading towards the

elevator.

Camille said, "Alright, I'm going to have dinner with Ayan. You should

start getting ready. If you really think it doesn't matter and you don't

need to prepare, that's fine. After all, the surprise I have for you is

definitely beyond your expectations.”

With that, Camille ended the conversation with Sienna.

Then, arm in arm, they entered the elevator together. Ayan looked at

Camille's face, radiant with a smile, and couldn't help but say, “You're

willing to go through all this trouble to prepare various surprises for

her."

Camille nodded unabashedly and said, "Because she's too lonely here

on her own, and we're very, very good friends. She's always been very

kind to me. Now, the only thing I can do is make her feel a little warmth

in her loneliness. In the end, there's probably only Rex who can

surprise her for a lifetime."

Camille genuinely cared for Sienna, but her concern could only exist

within the boundaries of friendship because there were certain things

she couldn't do. Even if she did, Sienna wouldn't accept it. Only the

most intimate partner could provide her with constant support and

comfort.

The two of them took a car directly to Sienna’s place.

During the journey, Sienna hadn't completely snapped out of her

thoughts about Camille's words. She had imagined countless

possibilities but still couldn't figure out what kind of surprise Camille had

in store for her.

Was it something she couldn't even imagine? What could it be?

Sienna pursed her lips slightly and pondered for a while before getting

out of the car and heading upstairs. But to avoid Camille seeing her in a

disheveled and tired state, she quickly took a simple shower and

changed into casual clothes. She rarely wore casual clothes since she

usually dressed professionally for work.

With her hair tied up high in a ponytail, she realized that there were

only two or three minutes left before the half-hour mark. Surprisingly,

she felt a hint of nervousness.

She felt like a child, eagerly anticipating the arrival of a surprise. The

feeling made her heart race.

As she regulated her breathing, the doorbell suddenly rang.

She took a deep breath, got up, and went to open the door. She leaned

in to look through the peephole to see what surprise Camille had

prepared. However, the peephole was blocked, evidently per Camille's

instructions. So, with no other option, she opened the door directly.

As soon as the door opened, she heard a familiar woman's voice say,

"Surprise!"

Camille's beautiful face appeared before her eyes, but Sienna

remained frozen, without any reaction.

Seeing her expression, Camille raised her hand and waved it in front of

Sienna, laughing, “Hello, are you okay? Did I startle you?"

Sienna still stood there, motionless. Her mind went blank, and

everything seemed frozen.

How could the person who had just been talking on the phone about

having dinner with Ayan suddenly appear in front of her?

This was too surreal, wasn't it?

She opened her mouth and said incredulously, "So, you really came to

Flento City?"

“I'm standing right in front of you. Is there any doubt?"

Camille couldn't help but laugh.

Only then did Sienna happily reach out and embrace Camille. They

hugged tightly, completely disregarding Ayan, who was standing to the

side.

After a while, when both Sienna and Camille had calmed down, they let

go of the embrace.

Sienna looked at Camille with slightly reddened eyes and said, "Why

didn't you tell me you were coming to Flento City? I could have picked

you up!"

Sienna exchanged a glance with Ayan, nodding slightly as a way of

greeting him, and then immediately invited both of them inside.

Camille said, "Because I wanted to surprise you. Now, take this

opportunity to show us around Flento City. Find a nice place to treat us

to a meal!”

"Alright, let's go now," Sienna replied, grabbing her bag and hurrying

off. She drove with Camille and Ayan to her favorite quiet and casual

bar, known for its great snacks.

The three of them found an inconspicuous spot to sit. Sienna took the

initiative and said, “I often come here alone when I have nothing to do.”

Camille felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Now, I'm here with you."

Sienna smiled.

They hadn't seen each other in a long time, but they didn't feel the

slightest bit distant. They sat together, chatting away, completely

ignoring Ayan. But Ayan didn't mind at all because his phone rang at

that moment.

He glanced at his phone, then said to the two of them, "You two

continue talking. I need to take this call outside."

Ayan walked out of the restaurant with his phone. Watching his figure,

Sienna asked, "Mr. Simpson won't be angry, will he? He won't feel

unhappy that I'm monopolizing you?"
