Chapter 648 - Pursuit
After leaving the Simpson Group, Camille went back to the office, and
Dan left with her.
Dan had just returned from Fola without a car, so Camille stopped by to
give him a ride.
Camille drove the car, Dan sat in the passenger side, with a light smile,
and asked, "How did I do today, Mr. Simpson should be lenient to me
for my good performance, right?"
Camille frowned at him in confusion, "What performance?"
"Of course it's the meeting performance, I've been standing in line for
Mr. Simpson, you didn't see that?"
"Well, it didn't open up, I thought you were just mindlessly hounding!"
"You ....." Dan looked helpless as he said, âForget it, I won't bother with
you, for the sake of Mr. Simpson."
"When did Ayan become so facetious?" Camille couldn't help but ask,
after all, these two hadn't crossed paths, and they hadn't seen much
back and forth during the collaboration, so how did they suddenly go
after Ayan?
Dan just smiled and deliberately sold out: âI won't tell you, but I'm a big
fan of Mr. Simpson now anyway."
In fact, there is no other reason, Dan also simply appreciate Ayan's
ability, and because Sophia side since the last piece of a meal after
Jing sinking to talk with him about Ayan topics, understanding, he felt
that Ayan is really a very rare partner.
So he did so in addition to appreciate the accident, but also still quite
hope for more cooperation in the future.
So he didn't say it outright, and Camille stopped asking questions, just
hummed lightly and stopped talking.
When we got back to the office, Dan borrowed the car and Camille
went upstairs to the office alone.
She hadn't been back at the office for long when she received a call
from Preston.
This is the third time Preston has contacted her since her return, but
she has never agreed to meet with him in private.
Camille pursed her lips slightly and looked at the phone number that
kept ringing, she thought carefully before pressing the answer button:
"Hello?"
"Cami, where is it?"
"Can I help you?"
âI want to see you." He went straight to the point and said lightly,
probably worried that Camille would not say yes, and then immediately
said, "Cami, there are some things you will always have
misunderstandings about me if we never talk clearly, so let's meet and
talk?"
âIf I say no will you continue to fight until I say yes?"
Camille asked indifferently and rhetorically.
Preston didn't answer, just said, âI'm already downstairs at your office,
Cami, so don't turn me down again, okay?"
Camille's eyebrows tightened and the expression on his face instantly
cooled down. Since he was already downstairs in the company, he had
just seen her enter the building with his own eyes, so why did he have
to deliberately ask her where she was one more time?
Is it to wait for her to lie back?
Camille was immediately uncomfortable, and she felt that Preston was
being too direct.
Why beat around the bush for something that can be clearly stated in
one sentence?
Camille took a deep breath and did not want to call again and again in
the future because of the meeting, if there is really any
misunderstanding then let's talk about it, so that she does not also feel
distracted, Preston also as obsessive as always haunting.
Camille pursed her lips lightly and said faintly, âI know."
After saying that, she took the lead in cutting off the call, and then this
went straight downstairs.
Yessica saw that she was leaving again just a short time after she
came back and immediately asked, "Are you leaving now?"
Camille whispered, "Something came up and I may be back later."
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy, I'll find you later when I get back!"
"Something for me?"
âIt's not much, it's just something you asked me to keep an eye on
before.â
Yessica answered in a small voice.
Immediately, Camille understood, and she whispered, "What's the
result?"
âIt's not really a result, it's just that Mr. Walker's secretary wants to quit.â
"Resignation?" Camille's brow immediately tightened as she asked,
somewhat puzzled, "Why are you suddenly resigning?"
"I asked, and he said he wanted to quit because he had another
career.â
The decision to resign was made suddenly, and I had no idea of
resigning until this morning. I just came straight to Yessica and told
Yessica that I hoped Yessica could help me talk to Camille.
At the moment Yessica has not said yes, she also just use need to find
Camille to chat before giving an answer.
Camille was briefly silent, her heart somewhat anticipating it.
Yessica saw this and spoke in a low voice, "Cami, you don't think his
other development is going to be to our competing company, do you?"
Camille raised her eyes to meet Yessica's eyes, with a faint smile under
her eyes, and replied nonchalantly, âIt doesn't matter if it is or not, he
wants to resign then let's follow the normal rules!"
The normal rule is naturally to wait for the right person to be recruited
and the normal resignation time to go after.
Camille didn't say what was on her mind, she just asked Yessica to
pass on her words to her secretary, and then this left the office.
She met with Preston at a cafe near her office, and walked straight
there. When she arrived, Preston was waiting for her with a drink.
This is the first time since Preston fell into the river to meet Camille in
private and alone in his real identity. Seeing Camille, Preston also
immediately got up: "Cami, you're here, have a seat!"
Camille is a bit nervous, probably because she has not seen him alone
for too long, so she is a bit embarrassed to the point of not knowing
what to say at the moment?
Camille pursed her lips, lifted her feet and walked over to sit opposite
him, their eyes locked, Camille's attitude was a little too flat and calm,
she did not take the initiative to ask or say anything, but gave all the
initiative to Preston, waiting for him to speak.
After about ten seconds or so, Preston spoke up, âCami, why didn't you
answer your phone two days ago? Did you encounter something?"
Camille gently raised his eyelids indifferently swept him a glance, the
bottom of the eyes a flat without the slightest emotion and fluctuations,
but just a glance she moved away not to look at more, the tone of light
indifference said: "So what do you have to do?"
"Cami, you ... What's going on?"
"It's okay."
Preston blushed slightly, he certainly heard Camille's coldness and
detachment, he said in a low voice, "I don't mean anything else, just
concern as a friend."
"Just concerned?" Camille smiled faintly, and there seemed to be a little
mockery and sarcasm under her eyes as she said, "At what time did
you call here on purpose just to care?"
Her questioning caused Preston to be briefly stunned.
He said, "Cami, did you misunderstand? I didn't call at that time on
purpose, I just contacted you immediately because I was worried about
you after seeing the news online, did you think?"
âI didn't think anything, I didn't want to misunderstand you, I just asked
if that's concern, why do you have to be so excited?" Camille directly
interrupted his words.
The expression on Preston's face stiffened even more as he asked in a
low voice, âCami, did Ayan say something to you?"
"Preston, now we're the ones talking about why the misunderstanding
you're talking about involves Ayan? What does this have to do with
Ayan?" Camille didn't know why, but a feeling arose in her heart that
she couldn't even talk to Preston on the same topic now.
She was even less sure if she was thinking too much of herself? Or
was it just too much of what Preston was showing?
She pursed her lips slightly, and the tone of these words just now was
not much better, causing the atmosphere to follow the cold.
Camille gritted her teeth lightly and asked faintly, "Preston, did you
have anything to do with what happened to my grandmother or not?"
"Of course not, this is what I mainly talk to you today, if you think there
is a relationship with me, then we can go to the hospital to transfer the
previous monitoring, if there is no monitoring we can slowly check, I
think as long as it has happened it must be able to find evidence about
it, I am not afraid of you investigating me."
He was righteous, completely as long as Camille could dispel
suspicions of how to do it.
Camille just gave him a deep look before following up with, "Did Ayan
force you to drive down the river? Or did you choose to drive down in
order to escape responsibility for the Simpson Group's accident
program?â
