Chapter 655 Lesson

“Yesterday I saw him get into Mr. Walker's car and I saw that the

person in the car was exactly Mr. Walker. And later he also posted a

statement on Twitter indicating that he is currently working at the

Norman Group of Hance City now."

Camille nodded without saying anything else, only a hint of coldness in

the bottom of her eyes.

She said, "Don't let it bother you too much, but you keep an eye on it. If

there is anything wrong with the project, then immediately collect the

evidence.”

Yessica nodded to show her understanding.

After Yessica exited from the office, Camille's face then turned cold.

What exactly does Preston want to do?

When he came back, he immediately took his secretary away from the

company. If he didn't have anything else in mind, why didn't he ask her

himself?

Camille pursed her lips slightly. Her suspicion of Preston kept growing.

He seemed to be hiding so much that, more than once, she felt as if

she had never really known him.

At the same time, Sean was reporting to Preston: "Mr. Walker, by now,

Miss Armstrong must have known that Jude Adams has come to work

for you."

Preston hummed indifferently. There wasn't much emotion on his face.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it, and there were no calls or

messages from Camille.

If she already knew, why didn't she call or text him to question him?

Preston waited a long time, but still no message or call from Camille,

and finally he took the initiative to call her.

He asked Camille, "Cami, why didn't you have any reaction even

though you knew Jude left for me?"

Camille felt a little ridiculous. She didn't know how to answer this

question.

She asked rhetorically, "How do you expect me to react? Or what

reaction do you expect from me?"

Her words caused Preston's expression to change and his voice to

stiffen, but he still asked with some hope, "Cami, don't you want to

know why I poached Jude? Or are you upset because I did it?"

Camille wrinkled her eyebrows, she was obviously unhappy, but her

voice did not show the slightest emotion. She just said lightly: "I don't

know what you mean by asking this. If you know I'm not happy and yet

you do it anyway, then why should I ask? As for whether Jude is going

to work for you or anyone else, actually for me, it doesn't matter.

Everyone has the right to choose better pay and benefits. It is quite

normal, so there is nothing to be unhappy about.”

Camille's words, although Preston could not distinguish her emotions,

were clearly audible in her indifference.

She was like that yesterday when they met, and again today.

This made Preston subconsciously put it all down to Ayan. He felt that it

was Ayan who did not allow Camille to associate with him, and that it

was Ayan's constant denigration in front of Camille that led to Camille's

cold attitude towards him, which could almost be described as not

wanting to talk to him.

Since returning to Hance City, he had such thoughts more than once,

so the thought of teaching Ayan a lesson had become even heavier in

his mind.

He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Cami, whether you care or

not, I have to explain to you. I didn't do this to do anything. I just came

to Hance City with insufficient manpower in hand, so I asked Sean to

contact Yessica, and he misunderstood my meaning and contacted

Jude directly, until just now I didn't know Sean didn't relay my meaning

clearly, and I didn't want you to misunderstand me."

Camille was expressionless, without any ripple under her eyes. "It's

okay. He was originally one of your people.”

"Cami!" Preston's tone was instantly raw as he tried to explain, "He was

my secretary yes, but that was only before I left the company. I haven't

contacted him since I left the company. Do you think I left him at the

company just to keep an eye on you on purpose? ?"

"Preston, I did not say that. You do not need to explain it so clearly."

She also did n't think it was that important. Jude was his secretary. If he

wanted him, then just ask, and why did he need to beat around the

bush?

As for his claim that he had only just learned that Sean had not

conveyed his meaning clearly, Camille was less than convinced.

She had known Preston for so long, and worked with him for so long.

He was a careful man, and he would not allow such a lapse to occur.

Camille did not point it out, keeping each other's dignity.

Because Camille's response was too cold, no matter what Preston

said, she didn't show any warmth. It was like boiling frog in warm water,

making him not know how to do about it. He wanted to question, but

could not find a reason, so he could only take the initiative to end the

topic.

But the call was still going on, Preston said in a light voice: "Cami, I just

joined this project . There are a lot of things I do not know too well. I

want to invite Mr. and Mrs. Bell for dinner, but you know, I'm not familiar

with Mr. and Mrs. Bell, so you can go with me? *

Camille's slightly furrowed brow had not yet been smoothed out and

was now furrowed again as she subconsciously refused, "Haven't you

and Mr. Bell met a few times already?"

"Although we met a few times, we couldn't talk about anything, and the

atmosphere of eating alone is too quiet quite awkward. You and Mrs.

Bell are in a good relationship. With you, I can also be comfortable. You

can take this as a favor to me, okay?"

Preston asked expectantly.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked indifferently, "You are

Benjamin in front of Mr. and Mrs. Bell. Won't I reveal your identity by

having this meal with you?"

It was Preston's turn to be silent. He hadn't thought about it. All his

attention was on trying to convince Camille to say yes.

At this moment Camille asked such a rhetorical question, he was

silence shortly, and then said: "I will confess to Mr. and Mrs. Bell. I did

not only invited them and you. I also thought of the reason. You are the

architect of the project. I am responsible for the finance. So it's normal

for me to turn to you to know more about the project. So Cami, do not

turn me down again, okay? You're the only one I can trust in Hance

City, and if you won't help me either, who else will?"

He knew that Camille was soft-hearted. A direct request would definitely

not work, so he had to make Camille compromise in this way.

He also talked about the time when he came to Hance City with Camille

and was unfamiliar with everything, but was full of confidence, because

Camille was there, so he felt that nothing mattered. As long as Camille

was with him, all the difficulties would be solved.

He said a lot until Camille interrupted with a voice: "I can't give you an

exact answer, because the company has been doing a lot of things

lately."

"That's okay, I can wait for you." Preston was probably worried that

Camille would still politely refuse, so he directly said, "I'l meet you

downstairs at the office after work. You don't have to rush. My

appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Bell can depend on your time."

"Cami, it's decided then.”

After saying that, Preston cut the call first, he would not give Camille

the chance to say no.

And then he made a personal call to Mr. Bell to make an appointment

for dinner tonight at 8:00 p. m. Here was his excuse: "I also have an

appointment with Camille, and she's busy at the office today, so she

won't finish work until about this time."

Mr. Bell was naturally fine with it. After all, Camille was there, even if

there was any doubt, it was immediately dispelled.

After making a date and time for dinner in the evening, Preston then

called Sean to come to the study.

He looked impassively at Sean and ordered, "Ayan doesn't need to pick

a time anymore, just schedule it for tonight!"

Sean immediately understood the meaning of his words, but his eyes

still overflowed with a trace of doubt. He said, "Mr. Walker, will it be too

soon? Ayan will suspect you if we do it now, right?"
