Chapter 684 Confrontation
He did not reveal much, just a smile: "Because I can not take the idea
myself.â
She probably would have believed it if it hadn't come out of his mouth.
Camille hummed lightly and said indifferently, âThis is your decision as
the general manager of the project, I'm just a project participant, and I
can't make the decision.â
Ayan slightly hooked his lips, the corners of his thin lips flooded with a
warm and shallow smile, and his voice was unhurried: "Has Preston
contacted you recently?"
Camille looked at Ayan with a slight frown and asked rhetorically, "What
are you trying to say?"
âI'm just asking." He didn't press the issue.
Camille didn't know why he was asking and after a brief silence said,
"We met once after you were hospitalized and haven't talked since."
Ayan did not say anything, and I do not know what was in his mind?
Camille, however, wondered if he didn't believe it?
She immediately said, âIf you don't believe me, don't ask me any
questions about him next time."
Ayan looked warm and stared at her: "I did not say that I do not believe,
I just think it is not normal, according to reason, he should contact you
a few more times, after all, I was injured he is not very concerned about
it?"
Camille frowned slightly and couldn't help but think that he had said
something similar during his hospitalization, but she didn't think much
of it.
It was only at this moment that it sounded meaningful, causing her to
ask, "The car accident was related to Preston?"
Ayan didn't say yes or no, but just asked rhetorically, "What would you
do if it had something to do with him?"
Camille stared at him without saying a word, not knowing what he was
thinking, and the two just stared at each other without any dialogue.
After a long time, she said unsteadily, "If it's really about what do you
want me to do?"
Ayan hooked his lips and smiled lightly: âI want you to be on the same
side as me."
"Am I on the opposite side of the fence from you now?"
Ayan reached out and gently stroked her hair, his voice as gentle as
can be: "Of course not, I just wanted to be more sure."
She knew Ayan would never say anything without certainty or evidence,
so did the accident really have anything to do with Preston?
This suspicion is growing slowly in Camille's mind like a seed,
something that once planted will continue to expand the suspicion.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped.
Yessica called from her side.
The results of their submission were in, and the organizer of the
architectural competition called to ask them to meet this afternoon to
discuss the theme and style of the project.
After arriving at the venue, Camille took Yessica to meet the reception
manager of the organizer. The organizer admired Camille's previous
works, but the only drawback was that the company behind Camille
was only a small name and not a professional company operating on a
large scale, so the organizer was concerned.
The manager said: "Our project is related to the Hance City Museum,
so the company and the architect need to have a certain background
and strength, the best of both so that the chances of being selected will
be much greater, if your side can be listed to other large companies
may be a better chance of being selected, so do you want to think
about it? We can help you arrange a company to be titled."
Camille nodded her understanding, but said, "If I need to be titled to
another company then I won't consider it because my original intention
was to bring my company along to the project, and I can understand
the organizer's side's unease, but I don't really want to be titled to
another company.â
The manager also no longer persuade, because also belongs to the
normal, but still left Camille's contact information, the follow-up of other
cooperation or good luck can still join the project or later cooperation.
Camille and Yessica came out of the scene and the two walked to the
parking lot and sat in the car, and Yessica said with some
discouragement, "Cami, do you think we'll find a good project?"
Camille smiled lightly, "This has just begun and you're already self-
doubting?"
Yessica sighed with a frustrated look, âI'm just worried.â
âIt's okay, there is still me? If I can't, I'll put my name on another
company to support you?" Camille joked.
Yessica beamed and shook her head, "That won't work, wouldn't that
make me a loser?"
"Haha ...." Camille laughed.
But the next second Yessica said, "Cami, why don't you put your name
on the Simpson Group? Or let brother-in-law buy our company?"
A brother-in-law let Camille eyes immediately become speechless, this
girl for the company is really willing to go out ah.
Without waiting for Camille's response, Yessica came up with a new
idea, she said, "I think Cami if you use a little tactics brother-in-law is
certainly willing to agree to anything, but just to work hard, Cami for us
certainly willing to sacrifice self, right?"
She raised her eyebrows with an ambiguous look, and Camille reached
right over and flicked her forehead, shattering her fantasy.
Camille said, "Wake up and stop daydreaming, your fantasies are not
going to happen.â
Yessica laughed: âI'm just saying, it's not to cheer yourself up, we'll get
up from where we fell down."
The two finished talking and Camille was ready to drive off when her
phone rang.
It was the manager who just received them who called.
Camille answered, "Hello!"
"Camille, we, the organizers, have discussed and also talked to the
person in charge over at the museum, and since your work is perfect
for this project in terms of novelty and maturity, we are going to make
an exception and invite you to work together.â
The manager's simple explanation came as a bit of a surprise to
Camille.
Yessica was also excited to hear it from the side and immediately
started to applaud silently.
Camille, however, said sensibly, "I thank the organizers and the
museum side for their good opinion of me, but I have a question I
wonder if I can ask you?"
"You said!"
"According to the conditions you just told me actually I and my
company can not meet your side of the requirements, so I do not know
why the organizer side suddenly agreed?" Camille asked.
The manager smiled and did not answer positively, but simply said,
"Why would Camille ask that? Naturally because you and your
company look good on our side, so we want to bet on it."
Camille pursed her lips slightly, and her heart still felt a bit indefinable.
Of course, it's not that she doesn't have confidence in herself and the
company, it's just that what the manager just said really makes it hard
for her not to think about it more.
After all, the company's qualifications are here, even if she is a genius
but the company attached to her for this kind of good project she is like
bringing a dragging bottle, equivalent to the need to accept her at the
same time also have to accept her company, which means that the
benefits of the project also have to share a share of the pie, if itis a
company with the qualifications and background is just, after all, later
can give the project as free publicity, but Camille's The company simply
does not have the ability to do so.
Camille was well aware of the company's capabilities, so she didn't
have much hope for the project, but now that the pie had fallen into her
hands, she was a little unsure.
The manager didn't explain too much, but insisted, "Camille, we really
like your architectural style, and we are aware of your cooperation with
the Simpson Group, so we trust you, you haven't left yet, right? Can
you please come back and sign the contract with us?"
Did you sign the contract so soon?
Camille felt that it was a little too soon, but naturally she didn't want to
miss this opportunity for the sake of the company, especially since
Yessica was as excited as a chicken's blood on the sidelines, so she
nodded her head and agreed.
Ending the call with the manager, Camille held the phone and thought
in silence, it seems that there is no other purpose than to look after her
and the company, after all, there is nothing to be found on the company
side, and as for her, it seems that there is nothing to cheat, right?
Yessica asked, "Cami, what's wrong with you? Is there something
wrong with it?"
"Just feel a little unworthy?" Camille met Yessica's eyes.
