Chapter 226: Bring them Together
Camille wasn’t so curious. After all, Preston was already an adult. Especially from her point of view, she
sincerely hoped that he could encounter a girl who was right for him and who he loved.
It’s just Jessika’s gossipy and cautious look as if she found something strange that made her a bit
curious.
She stared at Jessica and asked sightly, “Just tell me, who is it? Who makes you so gossipy?”
Jessika stuck out her tongue, looking a little awkward and whispered back, “The girl that Mr. Walker is Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
dating with is the collaborator I met last time in the coffee shop.”
“Have you met her?”
“Yeah, but I didn’t see her face clearly. She looked beautiful. She was well groomed and in good shape.
Well, Mr. Walker is handsome. The girl who is able to date him must be pretty.”
Camille wasn’t too keen on that. She didn’t know who it was, so there was no point in saying more.
However, she added, “How can you be sure that the girl on Molly’s phone is the one you have seen?”
“Molly only took a picture of her back.”
Camille frowned sightly and didn’t ask more.
But if Molly had only taken a photo of her back, Preston wouldn’t have been so excited, right?
His reaction and behavior indicated clearly that he didn’t want the people in company to see the photo.
Maybe he wanted to protect the girl he dated.
Camille thought about that, with an inexplicable sense of relief occurring at the bottom of her heart.
Because Preston found the girl he wanted to protect, which meant that they were just friends.
And she won’t be misunderstood by Ayan anymore.
On thinking of Ayan, her face turned cold unconsciously.
Ayan and Sophia didn’t stay too long and returned to the company after Camille and Talia left.
Sophia wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, but finally she couldn’t resist
asking, “Ayan, didn’t you and Camille get married because grandpa bring you together?”
He glanced at Sophia and whispered, “Yeah.”
“Don’t you have nothing to talk about together?”
“Just so-so.”
His response was always tepid without any more emotions.
Sophia narrowed her eyes and continued, “I never thought that you would marry the girl for the family
arrangement and even have a baby.”
“Camille is nice, so nothing weird.”
He married Camille for a year. She has always been gentle and sensible. There was no need for him to
worry about the things in the family. In addition, she knew his habits very well. As time goes, he has got
used to such life. However, she seemed to reveal her true nature completely since she moved out.
It made her whole person more alive and dynamic.
Such a woman fascinated him instinctively. When he clearly realized that he was attracted by her
thoroughly, he actually thought that it was inevitable.
After all, she was excellent.
Only her charming face alone was enough to make men fascinated for her.
Therefore, when he responded to Sophia, a clear trace of smile crushed on his face. The curve in the
corner of his lips was distinct especially.
Sophia was startled sightly and looked at him in disbelief.
After a few seconds, Sophia asked, “Ayan, are you completely out of love with Eileen? I remembered
you loved her very much in the past. Though we were different classes, you never let her feel wronged.
A year ago, the fact that she was injured for you and became a vegetative person caused a sensation
in Hance City. Can you empty her from your heart completely?”
Ayan’s was visibly unhappy due to her words or maybe the name “Eileen”.
There was a faint solemnity on his handsome face and a dark heaviness in his deep eyes.
He narrowed his eyes and said in a soft voice, “Sophia, do you all think I love Eileen?”
Probably only Ayan knew best whom he mentioned besides Sophia.
Sophia stunned for a second and replied, “Isn’t that so?”
Ayan frowned, with his deep eyes turning cold. He said lukewarmly, “It seems that a misunderstanding
can also go deep into people’s hearts.”
“Ayan, I don’t know what you mean. Don’t you…?”
“Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily true.”
Sophia was silent.
Didn’t he love Eileen?
Sophia has always been clever, but now she’s a little sluggish.
Because she couldn’t believe it.
If not, then for what?
As far as she knew, Eileen was working for Simpson Group’s entertainment company currently. Wasn’t
that why Ayan wanted to protect her.
However, it seemed that she was wrong judging from his indifferent face and the dull look in his eyes.
Sophia pressed her lips and became silent.
Back at Simpson Group, Ayan asked Kian to accompany Sophia to the venue of the architecture
competition to see the set-up. Then he picked up his phone and called Camille.
After getting through, he said in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
“I’m working.”
A concise answer, without a single extra word.
Ayan frowned slightly, which set off his finely carved features. His eyes were narrowed, asking in a low
voice, “Are you mad at me?”
“Why?”
“Because I didn’t tell you the truth?”
“You’re reading into it.”
Camille wouldn’t tell him the truth certainly, but her response was so indifferent, with hardly any
emotions.
After a long time, Ayan whispered, “I didn’t want to conceal the truth for you. Sophia came to Hance
City only for our cooperation, that’s why I responded you like that.”
“Well, I see. What else? If not, I have to get on with my work. The game is only a few days away, so I’m
a little busy.”
“Camille, do you really want to work on your design or don’t you want to talk with me?”
Ayan asked softly.
Camille replied, “Nope.”
“No?”
“Ayan, you’re annoying.”
Camille was a bit upset.
She was annoyed at his constant question.
As for this matter, was Ayan wrong? Not really. At least, no to that extent. She just felt a little
uncomfortable about his dishonesty.
Camille cut off the call and got to her work.
She spent the afternoon working on the drawing with Yessica and some else in the office until after
work.
The competition would start officially in two days.
It has been a long time since she competed in such a big competition, so she still felt a little anxious.
After sorting out the computer and artworks, she picked up her bag and left the office.
She took the elevator downstairs and had just left the building to walk across the parking lot when she
saw the black Mercedes parking on the side of the road.
She paused and hesitated for two seconds, then walked over.
When she reached the car, Ayan opened the door of the co-pilot to let her in. Camille didn’t get on, but
asked, “Why are you here?”
“To pick you up from work.”
“Actually, there is no need for you to pick me up. You’ve already hired a driver for me. Besides, it’s still
early. I can drive back myself.”
Ayan squinted and stared at her with his deep and dark eyes, while a faint smell of tobacco was wafting
from the car. Then he said, “I’d like to.”
