Chapter 1084: Stirring Trouble
With those words, Kian took advantage of Miss Lindsey's dazed state to close the car door and quickly
got into the passenger seat. They left without giving Miss Lindsey a chance to react.
Miss Lindsey stood there, her face wearing an unpleasant expression, gazing at the departing car. She
couldn't help but grab her phone and call a friend, asking, "Ayan didn't take the bait at all. I made my
intentions quite clear, and he didn't react at all. Could it be that I wasn't clear enough?"novelbin
Her friend responded, "You should have met him alone. Men of his status always want to maintain a
clean image around others. So you should have approached him privately. These things require the
right time, place, and people. If you do manage to win him over, you'll be living the high life forever.
Why bother working hard and pleasing your current old man?"
Her friend's words reignited Miss Lindsey's confidence.
She watched the direction in which Ayan had driven off and silently told herself, "I will definitely win this
man over!"
On the way to the airport, Ayan sat in the back seat, his expression cold and stern. There was a clear
sense of displeasure in his eyes. He took a deep breath, and the pungent scent of the perfume that the
woman had left lingered around him, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
He immediately removed his suit jacket and tossed it to Kian in the passenger seat, saying, "This jacket
reeks. Get rid of it."
Kian quickly understood, nodded, and said, "Certainly."
Ayan then asked, "What company is that woman from? Contact her company and ensure such a
person never appears in my presence again."
She had the audacity to make a move on him. It was utterly preposterous.
Kian promptly shared the woman's company information with Ayan and also contacted the company's
owner, despite the early hour.
This company's owner had cooperated with Sophia, which was why they had dinner together last night.
Naturally, they also wanted a share of the project that Sophia was working on. Even a small portion of
the pie would be beneficial for their small company.
Kian explained the incident to the owner and expressed his belief that someone like this woman should
not be allowed to continue working for the company. He sternly advised against such behavior,
explaining that it was unacceptable. The owner immediately distanced the company from the woman's
actions, stating that it had nothing to do with the company and was solely her personal behavior. The
company had never sanctioned such actions.
Kian glanced at Ayan, but Ayan didn't respond in any way. It was clear that Ayan wasn't concerned
about whether the company was involved or not. He only cared about ensuring that the woman
wouldn't reappear.
After resolving this matter, Kian ended the call. He looked at Ayan and said, "Mr. Simpson, today's
incident should have been an accident. The company was interested in working with you, so they
wouldn't recklessly make a move on you. If things work out, it's beneficial for them. If not, they will
continue as they are. Any negative publicity wouldn't be good for them, given their small size."
Ayan's gaze remained fixed on the window, and his face was expressionless. It was impossible to
discern his thoughts.
Kian's words hung in the air for a while before Ayan finally spoke in a deliberate manner, "If they didn't
do it on purpose, it's for the best. But if they had intentions of scheming against me, they truly
miscalculated."
Kian nodded in agreement with Ayan.
The next moment, Ayan spoke again, saying, "After returning to Hance City, take me straight to
Franklin Bay."
"Of course, Mr. Simpson," Kian agreed with a nod.
In no time, they arrived at the airport.
Ayan's flight was scheduled to depart in forty minutes, and the trip back to Hance City would only take
about two hours. So he estimated that by the time he returned to Franklin Bay, Camille would likely still
be sleeping or at home if she was awake.
Ayan hadn't seen Camille in two days, and to be honest, he missed her quite a bit.
Therefore, his first thought upon returning to Hance City was to see her.
Of course, Camille was unaware of Ayan's plans. She had stayed up late into the morning and decided
to rest until later in the day. When she messaged Sienna before going to sleep, Sienna was surprised
to see the message's timestamp. She mumbled to herself, "Is she staying up all night because Ayan
isn't home?"
"Did you stay up all night?" Rex, who had just emerged from the bathroom, took the message and
asked while looking at Sienna.
Sienna didn't respond, just looked at Rex with a faint expression, rolling her eyes without answering.
Rex smiled and, approaching her, asked, "What were you muttering to yourself?"
"I won't tell you. Can't people have some personal space for themselves?" Sienna replied, her tone
casual.
Rex tilted her chin up gently, gave her lips a soft kiss, and said in a low, husky voice, "You belong to
me. Do you really need personal space?"
"I belong to you, but I'm not sold to you, am I? Can't I have a little personal space?"
"No."
"What about you? Is there nothing you keep from me? Have you been completely open with me?"
Sienna gazed into his eyes, her gaze probing, as she knew that Rex had something on his mind that he
hadn't shared with her. Her focused look didn't give Rex any chance to evade.
They locked eyes for quite some time, and though Sienna continued to gaze at Rex, he remained silent
throughout.
Sienna asked, "Why aren't you answering? Is it something you can't talk about?"
Rex ruffled her hair gently and said, "What do you mean by something I can't answer?"
"So you've got many things you're keeping from me?"
Sienna raised an eyebrow, her eyes containing a mischievous glint. She blinked and looked at Rex,
who seemed hesitant to respond. In the end, Rex didn't answer. He didn't want to lie to Sienna, but he
also didn't intend to confess. His silence, to some extent, acknowledged it.
During their standoff, Rex's phone rang.
It was his secretary calling.
Rex released Sienna and took the call, stepping aside and answering it. Sienna observed him intently.
After the call, she noticed that his expression had grown more serious. He said, "You handle it, and I'll
be at the office later."
Ending the call, he lowered his hand with the phone and kept his gaze on Sienna. In a gentle tone, he
asked, "Did you meet the troublemakers with Camille yesterday afternoon?"
Sienna hadn't told Rex about the incident to spare him unnecessary worry. She decided to keep silent
on the matter. However, when Rex questioned her like this, she couldn't help but think, "Uh-oh."
