Chapter 1222: Surprise

Chapter 1222: Surprise

"She added me on WeChat, do you have her too?"

"No," Camille still shook her head, but curiosity appeared in her eyes.

"When did you two become so close?"

"We're not close. Didn't we meet after the competition ended? And I

think she's a righteous person, plus she's pretty. You know, attractive

people tend to attract other attractive people.”

"Are you just setting up all this to fish for a compliment?" Camille

couldn't help but see through Sienna’s intentions, and she didn't deny it

either. She just smiled and said, "Hey, don't say it out loud. Beautiful

women can also feel embarrassed, you know."

Camille stopped teasing her and simply asked, "So when did you

actually become so friendly with her?"

“It's not like we're friends. She's just more proactive. She always

messages me, and I can't not reply, right? After all, I'm a considerate

little fairy, I can't be cold-hearted!" Sienna said, feeling surprised

herself. She continued, “I don't have any real connection with her, and I

don't know why she's become so proactive. It feels like she has ulterior

motives, you know that feeling? But I still can't sense anything unusual.

I just can't figure her out. What do you think I should do?"

Camille fell silent for a moment. According to reason, they didn't have

much interaction with Crystal. After all, when the company chose an

assistant, they selected someone more suitable and rejected Crystal.

They only learned about her again when they found out she

participated in the competition. At that time, they were sure she was

exceptional, as participating in the competition required skill,

experience, and most importantly, being a professional designer.

Crystal seemed to fit the bill. Initially, Camille thought there might be

some difficulties in getting along because she had rejected Crystal

before. However, Crystal was extremely gracious and didn't bring up

the past at all. This surprised both Camille and Sienna.

Now, hearing Sienna talk about how proactive Crystal was with her,

Camille couldn't help but feel a trace of astonishment.

Camille asked Sienna, "Have your conversations with her been

unrelated to work?"

"Well, we rarely talk about work. It's mostly random conversations. She

sends me funny and interesting things she comes across, and we chat

about that. Sometimes she asks me about good places to eat in Hance

City, but you know, I'm not from Hance City. It's actually her who's

studying there. Doesn't she know these things? It feels like she's

intentionally trying to find things to talk about with me. You know, I used

to find it a bit surprising, but I didn't think much of it. But now, after

talking to you, I'm starting to feel a bit uneasy about it."

Sienna shrugged, genuinely sensing that something was off. After all,

they weren't particularly close friends, so why was Crystal being so

proactive? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

The two locked eyes, and Camille asked, "Why didn't you tell me about

this?"

"Well, it slipped my mind, and I didn't think much of it, to be honest. I

guess I didn't delve deep enough in my thoughts, so I didn't pay much

attention," Sienna replied.

Sienna was now troubled. She carefully thought it through and couldn't

shake off the feeling that something was wrong. She squinted her eyes

and softly asked, "Why is she reaching out to me and not you? Do you

think she has some ulterior motive towards me? Or maybe towards

someone close to me?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Could it be that she likes Rex? Is she intentionally becoming friends

with me?" Sienna blurted out an incredible idea. Of course, she didn't

think Rex was irresistible, but she simply couldn't think of any other

possibilities after ruling out many. She was running out of ideas.

But Camille chuckled and said, "You know what? That might actually be

a possibility.”

Camille was just joking, taking it lightly. She took a deep breath and

continued, "Forget it, let's not speculate anymore. Maybe we're just

being paranoid, thinking too much. Perhaps she genuinely wants to be

friends with you, who knows?"

Sienna nodded along, but she couldn't shake off that indescribable

feeling in her heart.

Sometimes things were like that. It was better to leave certain matters

untouched, but once they were brought up, it was hard not to overthink.

However, the two didn't have time to dwell on it further because Yessica

brought in a delicious afternoon tea.

Yessica said, "Kian sent it over. Cami, Mr. Simpson bought it for you."

Camille hadn't expected that, as they didn't mention it during their call.

Nevertheless, she took a picture of the coffee and sent it to Ayan.

She said, "Thank you for the surprise.”

Ayan was probably busy as he didn't reply immediately.

Sienna started teasing Yessica again, "You just delivered it and left?"

"Yes, there's still work to do at the office,” Yessica replied without

sensing Sienna’s probing, obediently nodding her head.

But Camille knew Sienna best and knew exactly what she was about to

say.

Camille quietly sipped her coffee, maintaining silence as she watched

Sienna continue questioning Yessica, "Didn't you stay back to keep her

company?"

Yessica instantly felt a bit embarrassed and replied, "I still have work to

do. I can't delay his work, can 1?"

"What's more important, his work or you? Why don't you make him

choose? Is Ayan more important, or are you?" Sienna started

suggesting mischievous ideas again.

Yessica was taken aback and had no idea how to respond. She looked

at Camille with a pleading expression, her eyes clearly saying, "Save

me."

Camille smiled and said, "Alright, don't make it difficult for her. If she

actually asks that, then do you have to make Kian resign next? And

then, you can use this opportunity to get Rex to recruit Kian to Shen

Corporation, right?"

Sienna pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to expose me so

directly!

The conversation between the two instantly livened up the atmosphere

in the office, and all three of them had smiles on their faces.

Camille and Sienna shared many stories about love with Yessica.

Camille asked Yessica, "Has he mentioned anything about marriage to

you?"

"Not yet. After all, we haven't been together for long, so there's no rush,

right?"

"If he proposes to you, would you say yes?"

Yessica paused, feeling it was a sudden question, but she answered

seriously, "Yes, we have great understanding between us. He treats me

well and has never said anything hurtful to me. His parents are also

very kind to me, and it's not just empty talk. They said they would

upgrade to a bigger house once we get married, so it would be

convenient for us to have a baby. Rex's current house will be left for

them in their old age, and they will provide the money for the new

house, with the property registered under my name."

“This is what his parents told me during our heart-to-heart

conversation. Even if it's not true, I'm still happy because they can at

least say such things. Moreover, his parents are not the type who only

talk but don't act, and Kian is not a blindly filial person. He considers

everything carefully. In fact, he said that it's all thanks to Mr. Simpson

that he has become so good. Mr. Simpson changed him."

As Yessica spoke, her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at

Camille. She gazed at Camille earnestly and said, "Cami, thank you."

Camille was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why would you thank

me? It's not like I brought Kian here!"

"Because you connected us. You allowed me to have such a wonderful

boyfriend. If you hadn't accepted him for me, I don't know who would

have ended up with him. But now, looking back, I'm glad it's me, or else

I would have missed out, right?"

Yessica's words made Camille couldn't help but laugh.

Camille looked at Sienna beside her and said, "In the future, don't infect

Yessica with your sneaky thoughts. Look at what you've done to her."

The three of them shared a smile, and it was at that moment that

Sienna's phone rang.

She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and immediately turned the

screen towards Camille, raising an eyebrow, "See, you shouldn't

casually mention people.”
