Chapter 585 The Ball

Camille's face stiffened instantly.

The Simpson's mansion side probably did not know she and Ayan's

recent situation , because every time she came back, Ayan wasn't

there. At first she thought it was just because Ayan just did not come

back at that time. She tried several times to make sure that Ayan

wouldn't come back to Simpson's mansion, and then she stayed here

as long as she could.

Did it make Fletcher misunderstand something?

Camille was suddenly stunned, and for a while she didn't know what to

say.

She pursed her lips, the expression on her face slipped through a hint

of hesitation. Fletcher also noticed, and asked: “Is the time not

convenient? If so, it's OK. I originally planned to let you and Ayan

attend as a couple to break those rumors before. This will also have

some benefits for your current work. If the time is not right, then forget

it, next time."

Both Fletcher and the rest of the Simpson family had hardly ever

pushed Camille on anything. They respected her decision. Camille

could refuse Ayan, but not the Simpson family, especially Fletcher who

basically did not force any conditions on her.

Camille replied after a moment of silence, "Dad, when?"

"Eh?"

"What time is the charity ball?"

Then this was a yes.

Fletcher was so excited that he smiled and said, “Tomorrow night at

seven o'clock.”

"Okay, I got it."

Camille nodded in response.

Later, Ayan also received the news. At first Fletcher did not say Camille

would also go, just told him to arrive on time, because Fletcher was the

president of the Chamber of Commerce, he, the son, must show his

support by attending, so of course he promised it.

But Fletcher added: "On that day Cami will be your date. The

opportunity is created for you, and then you're on your own!"

"She said yes?"

Ayan was a little surprised. Although he saw Camille every day, she

didn't give him any good looks, especially since she barely looked at

him after they had said everything that needed to be said.

So hearing Fletcher said she would also be going to the ball, he was

less than convinced.

Without waiting for Fletcher to answer, he added, "She knew I'd be

there?"

“I know, I told her, you attend together as husband and wife."

Fletcher explained in detail, then Ayan didn;t have any doubt.

But he knew in his heart that the reason why Camille agreed to attend

this charity ball with him as husband and wife had nothing to do with

him, but only for Fletcher's sake.

Ayan forced a smile on himself.

The charity ball would be attended by the entire Hance City business

community as well as the Hance City's high society circles. Half a

month in advance, the staff had already started to draw up the invitation

list, and those who could participate in this charity ball were all rich or

noble. This symbolized their status and position.

Camille arrived after 7:00 p. m. She came to the ball with Kian.

She got a call from Kian in the morning saying that he would pick her

up for the charity ball in the evening, but she declined.

She said, "It's better if I drive there myself."

"Ma'am, Master Simpson asked me to come over and pick you up. He

had to go to the ball early to talk to his father about something, so he

wouldn't come over and pick you up together.”

Camille blinked a little and said, "Good."

Kian informed the time once more and then he ended the call.

Kian put the phone down and looked again at the man sitting leaning

against his desk as he whispered, "Master Simpson, the lady has

agreed.”

"Hmm." The tone that came from the bones of his throat bones.

Kian said cautiously, "Master Simpson, you have also been sending

flowers to Madam for such a long time, why don't you take the

opportunity to take the initiative to pick up Madam tonight? This way

you can also have some time alone with madam.”

Ayan indifferently swept a glance at Kian, looking cold. "She can agree

to attend the ball with me as husband and wife for the sake of my

father, does not mean that she can also tolerate me to pick her up

personally, even if she get on the car because of the Simpson family.

With her current temper, she won't take me seriously. Rather than being

a bother to her, itis better to let her do what she wants."

If he couldn't make her like it, at least he didn't want to annoy her.

Ayan narrowed his eyes slightly, his look gloomy, and the sadness

under his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

She had no trust in him, and pushing her too hard would only push her

further and further away, but conquering Camille was far more difficult

than him taking down a $100 billion partnership.

He shook his head helplessly, but a clear doting appeared in his eyes.

Kian led Camille into the ballroom, and since it hadn't officially started

yet, everyone was in the lounge area chatting and making friends for

future collaboration.

She had not yet walked to the rest area and had seen Ayan and Rex

and other people sitting there chatting, because of their noble status did

not dare to go up and disturb them, even though the heart wanted very

much, but also did not have the courage.

Soon they also saw Camille, and several of them raised their hands:

"Hi!

Camille was also smiling and greeting the crowd, and then people also

walked to the front . She graciously sat down in the empty seat next to

Ayan, but she did not look at him, just looked at Rex asked: "Sienna did

not come with you?"

"No, still angry with me. Talk to her when you have time, for me. I don't

know what to do with her now."

Rex was full of helplessness, but his eyes were full of enjoyment in

coaxing Sienna.

Camille smiled lightly: "I guess she could do anything she wanted in

front of you knowing you'd let her do so!

Rex: "That's true, forget it, I will try to please her!"

Derek and Tomas both followed and laughed: "Look at Master Ward

what a good man! Master Ward, open a class, I will introduce everyone

around you to take classes and all learn how to spoil their wives."

Several people laughed flirtatiously. Only Ayan remained unchanged

the whole time, without much emotion, looking at the woman beside

him.

Did what she said also mean that she felt the same way in her heart?

A man must let a woman do whatever she wanted to let out her temper,

then that could be called love?

His deep eyes stared at her for a moment, the emotions under his eyes

deepened until Derek suddenly called out his name: "Ayan, you're a

married man too, can you teach Rex a lesson for me? Share some of

the ways you get along as a couple to Rex, so he doesn't get so smug,

okay?"

Ayan said in a low voice, "You guys are idle?"

"We just want to ask for advice with an open mind."

“Then let Rex teach you." Ayan finished indifferently, then looked at Rex

with a question: "Many people today, enough for you to start a school.”

Rex laughed, "Ayan, why are you being a little sour about this? Are you

jealous because Camille praised me?"

Camille, who was suddenly named, said nothing, and the expression

on her face was unmoved with no emotion.

Without waiting for Ayan's answer, Tomas asked Camille again,

"Camille, tell me if Ayan is doing a good job as a husband?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Camille waiting for her answer. Ayan was no

exception, but he already had an answer in his heart. After all, her

attitude today had clearly told him that he was not a qualified husband,

otherwise she would not have insisted on divorce.

Camille spoke indifferently: "Everyone's definition of being qualified is

different, so I don't have an answer for that.”

Then Rex asked Ayan, "So what's your definition of a competent

husband?"
