Chapter 631 - Scars
Ayan was straightforward and did not have any euphemism because he
was arranged by the Norman Group. His words also made the
atmosphere frosty, and everyone except Camille thought he was upset
because he was late.
When he said so, this Mr. Baxter's already seated body was also
slightly stunned, but only for a moment, he then smiled faintly: "It's my
fault, originally I was only concerned that my appearance will make
everyone shocked, but ignored that this project is not a day or two to
end.â
After saying that, he took off his mask in a big way.
Although at the time of seeing his eyebrows and hearing his voice,
Camille and Ayan already had some answers in their hearts, but
Camille always thought it was just a coincidence, as for how Ayan
thought in his heart no one knew.
But at this moment when his appearance was revealed, Camille was
completely frozen.
Compared to her shocked reaction, Ayan's expression could be
described as calm, seemingly without any surprise, a pair of deep eyes
flashing with a few indifferent light smiles, he looked at the man in front
of him, his voice unhurried, âI wonder how to address?"
âI'm Benjamin Baxter."
"Oh, Benjamin, the Campoles?"
Benjamin smiled lightly, his eyebrows flushed with jest: "Mr. Simpson is
this a household check?"
Ayan, however, did not cooperate in the slightest, only indifferently said:
"Since we are involved in this project cooperation, I think everyone here
except Mr. Baxter you have the most basic understanding of each
other, so Mr. Baxter should not confess?"
Ayan's words put Benjamin on the shelf to a point where he had to give
a response.
He also looked at Ayan, and only after a short silence did he have to
speak: "Mr. Simpson is right, I overlooked it." He showed a light smile,
as if he didn't mind Ayan's attitude at all, and explained in a humble and
gentle manner: "I am from Hance City, but I grew up abroad, so I
haven't been back to Hance City for many years. It's fate."
"From Hance City?" Ayan repeated the words faintly.
Benjamin nodded his head: "Yes, from Hance City, but I was born in an
ordinary family, Mr. Simpson such identity naturally do not know, but
these are not important, the important thing is that now I have the
privilege to become partners with Mr. Simpson and everyone here is
my honor. *
He always has an excellent attitude, so that no one can find the
slightest difference.
The atmosphere also gradually became stable, Ayan did not pursue the
question, but a pair of deep black eyes filled with a shady look did not
move to sweep him a glance.
Soon, the waiter began to serve the food.
Benjamin personally poured everyone's drinks and tea, and when it
was Camille's turn, he gave her refreshing lemonade, Camille's favorite
juice for dinner, which he also specially asked the waiter to serve.
His demeanor left Camille with the shock still in her eyes and a delicate
face that was slightly stiff revealing very obvious emotions.
But he said as if nothing had happened, "Please take care of Camille
for the next cooperation.â
Camille's face was indifferent, she raised her eyes to meet his gaze,
and the amazement in her eyes lingered.
But with so many people in the way, she made the most basic
response.
But Camille's slow reaction allowed everyone in the room to see that
she was different, because normally she wouldn't be.
So while everyone was eating their food, Mrs. Bell, who was closest to
her, suddenly peeked over and asked, "Cami, what's wrong with you?
Are you shocked by the scar on his face?"
Camille subconsciously looked over, only to see Benjamin was also
looking at her, she subconsciously moved away, after glancing at Ayan,
Ayan's eyes were also fixed on her, as if they had not left on her.
Camille dropped her eyes lightly and shook her head at Mrs. Bell: "No."
Seeing her answer like this, Mrs. Bell didn't think much about it and
didn't ask any more questions.
It's just that Camille's mind is growing with questions, as if they will
soon cover her entire heart.
But when every question was not answered, Mr. Bell suddenly opened
his mouth and invited everyone to raise their glasses and clink: "A lot
has happened since the beginning of this project, I hope everyone here
can walk with me until the day the project is completed, and I hope we
can work together happily.â
Mr. Bell's face was naturally given, so they all raised their glasses and
clinked their juice glasses.
Probably because of the wine, and probably because they became
familiar with each other after a few words of conversation, Mr. Bell
suddenly asked at this moment, "How did the scars on Mr. Baxter's
face get left? I have a cosmetic surgeon friend abroad who is good at
dealing with these scar surgeries, if Mr. Baxter believes I can
recommend it to you, it will definitely eliminate the scars on your face."
Mr. Bell's words made Benjamin just smiled lightly, seemingly
unconcerned, he said: "Thank you Mr. Bell's kindness, if I need I will
definitely seek your help to introduce, but now for me this scar is a kind
of reminder, remind me to always keep in mind, because it is left by
someone's secret plot. *
The secret plan is harmed!!!
Four words contain a lot of meaning, however.
Mr. Bell immediately asked, "Was it done to you?"
Benjamin nodded slightly: âIt's already in the past, some unhappy
things, but now everything is changing for the better, I think the people
who harmed me will have to pay the price after all."
"So who did this to you? Mr. Baxter now joined the project to come in,
there is such a private feud I think it is better to say a better
understanding, so as not to wait for the official start of the project after
the occurrence of what revenge revenge, but also not to drag the
project, we think?"
Ayan obediently took Benjamin's words word by word a question after a
question indifferently asked, his deep eyes are also looking straight at
Benjamin without the slightest emotion and temperature.
After his words were asked, Dan first took a stand: "I rather agree with
Mr. Simpson's point, although this matter is Mr. Baxter your personal
business and we are present have nothing to do with it, but this project
we have all spent too much thought and effort, so far there are too
many accidents, so I personally think it is better not to happen in any
accidents is better.â
After Dan's words, Horace also nodded, his face cold: "Well, I also
agree!â
Followed by Grace, who chimed in.
Finally just turning his attention to Camille, Dan asked, "Camille what
do you think?"
Dan actually noticed Camille's difference at the beginning, and she has
been unresponsive at this moment, and he realized that Camille
probably knows this Benjamin.
However, it is only a rough guess and cannot be confirmed.
After Dan's inquiry, Camille raised her eyes expressionlessly, and her
voice was also without much warmth: "Since everyone agrees, I
naturally agree.â
Her words gave an answer, but again, it was as if nothing was
answered.
She pursed her lips slightly and did not intend to continue to say more.
Since everyone is in favor of the project, Mr. and Mrs. Bell's side is also
in favor of the project, as long as everything related to the project is
good for the project, they are all in favor of it.
Benjamin was all opposed, his face slightly stiff expression, the
emotions under his eyes also overflowed with a complex cold, in
addition to the surface and can not see too many other emotions, but
that placed on the knees of the hands because of the table cover no
one can see him at the moment tightly clenched into fists, revealing
how gloomy his inner emotions.
He stayed silent, and it was like that for almost ten seconds or so.
At that moment, Kian, who had gone out after the official opening of the
meal, also knocked on the door and came in. He walked over to Ayan
with the tablet in his hand and leaned over to whisper in Ayan's ear,
"Mr. Simpson, it's ready."
Ayan did not have any reaction, the whole person completely leaned on
the chair, gaze indifferent said: "Since everyone expressed agreement
with my meaning, then Mr. Baxter why not say a good understanding?
Or do you have any concerns that are not convenient to say? If Mr.
Baxter feel inconvenient then also can not say, but I have a matter here
need to talk to everyone!"
