Chapter 1127: Arrogance
Camille lightly pursed her lips, and her expression became slightly tense. She didn't deny it, which
made Ayan's smile on his face even more amusing. He said, "So, you really think I would treat you like
that?"
Camille softly replied, "I didn't say that."
"Do you have this concern in your heart?" He stared at Camille, his voice particularly husky and low. He
continued, "At this moment, do you genuinely have such thoughts?"
Camille looked into Ayan's eyes and didn't deny it. Instead, she admitted along with his words, "Yes, I
did think that way. But I feel it's just my own anxiety, leading to these messy thoughts, nothing more."
Ayan approached her, his expression revealing a hint of coldness. He reached out and gently
embraced her, his attitude very serious. He spoke with extra seriousness, "I've talked to Rex, and this
decision is to ensure the upcoming issues. Rex has also joined this collaboration project. So, do you
still harbor any dissatisfaction towards me?"
Camille looked at Ayan in surprise. "Rex agreed too?"
"He agreed, agreed very readily. Because our ideas are the same. Why not take advantage of the
benefits offered? Not only take advantage but take it beautifully." Ayan smirked lightly, his deep gaze
still fixed on Camille. He said, "So, if there's anything bothering you, just tell me, okay?"
Camille nodded gently, and her expression eased a bit. She said, "It seems I've oversimplified things.
These seemingly complicated matters, in your hands, turn into useful benefits for you. No wonder I
can't be in your position and can only work hard like a laborer."
Camille sighed silently, shaking her head slightly. A faint sigh appeared on her face, and her expression
was quite unbelievable.novelbin
Ayan patiently explained, clearly and precisely. At the same time, he told her, "It's not that you've
oversimplified, it's just that you think too much about Mario. In fact, his purpose is very clear. He's after
Sienna, but The King Family and King Group are more important to him than Sienna. This makes the
whole thing simpler."
Camille looked up at him and asked, "Are all you men more rational? Everything is unimportant in front
of interests?"
"We men?" Ayan snorted lightly. He said, "I'm not like Mario."
"I didn't say it was him."
"But your eyes have already told me the answer, haven't they?" Ayan gently pinched her cheek. His
well-defined fingers rubbed lightly, and his voice became even huskier. He said, "Regardless of Mario's
intentions, he won't succeed, so don't have any worries."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Camille nodded lightly, saying, "Okay, I believe you. I believe everything you said."
Ayan curved his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. He gently held her hand and didn't insist on her
accompanying him to the company. Instead, he said, "Secretary Armstrong, you've only worked for one
day, and now you want to take a day off. If you do that, I won't pay your salary."
Camille laughed, "I don't care. Anyway, I want paid leave."
Her tone was domineering and arrogant, making Ayan unable to refuse. He just squinted his eyes,
smiled lowly, and then leaned down to kiss her cheek. After that, he got into the car and left.
After Ayan went to the company, Camille immediately called Sienna.
Sienna, of course, wasn't going to the office, so she took the initiative to come over to Camille's place
to check on Timmy at the Simpson's mansion.
While chatting about the events at the Ward family last night, Sienna said, "I think Mario did it on
purpose. He wants to remind me in this way, telling me not to think he has no way to deal with me. In
fact, he has many methods, and he can start with the Ward family."
Camille took a silent deep breath and said in a calm voice, "What's there to be afraid of? Ayan said this
is Hance City. Even if he does something, it has to go through Ayan and Rex. This isn't Flento City, so
he can't have everything his way."
Sienna nodded lightly and said, "Yes, he can't have everything his way."
Camille looked at her, her mood not getting any better. So, she shared the topic she had just discussed
with Ayan.
Sienna, after hearing it, didn't show much emotion. She said, "I understand what you mean. Rex has
talked to me too. He's afraid I might misunderstand and affect our relationship."
Camille replied, "As long as you don't misunderstand, that's good. Actually, I'm also worried about this."
"Silly, our relationship won't be affected by anything, okay?"
Camille laughed, feeling happy hearing Sienna say that.
After chatting, the two returned to the Simpson's mansion. They had lunch there, accompanied Timmy
for a nap, and then left the mansion.
In the afternoon, they returned to the company.
Not much happened these two days. The closer they got to such a crucial time, the less there was to
do because many things were prepared early. Now, it was more about relaxing to face the competition
with the best attitude.
Everyone was busy with their tasks. Preston, due to missing Mario's party invitation last night that he
had planned with Jenson, didn't want to miss the chance to collaborate with Mario. After all, he was
well aware of the King family's status in Flento City. Now that Mario was in Hance City, he thought
collaborating with him was the most suitable relationship. After being in Hance City for so long, he
knew the major enterprises well. Mario had money, and this seemed like a win-win situation.
More importantly, Mario's relationship with Rex didn't seem as friendly as imagined; there was an
indescribable sense of hostility. Preston didn't know the reason behind it, but the only thing he was
happy about was that if Mario and Rex had a bad relationship, it could be considered having a common
enemy.
So, this collaboration seemed more solid.
Thinking about this, he felt more motivated. He directly contacted Mario's secretary to propose a
meeting.
But Mario's reply was, "No time."
This was undoubtedly a refusal to meet with Preston, making him feel a bit embarrassed. He naturally
felt dissatisfied.
Under the pretext of collaboration, Preston hoped the secretary could talk to Mario again. After several
phone calls, Mario finally agreed to meet.
Preston immediately set off for the hotel where Mario lived. When he arrived, Mario had just come
down from upstairs. The two met at the hotel's coffee shop downstairs.
Preston greeted with enthusiasm, "Mr. King, your reputation precedes you. It's truly an honor to meet
you today!"
Mario simply nodded, showing no intention of extending his hand for a handshake. He gave Preston a
cool glance and asked, "Get straight to the point. What do you want?"
Preston's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at
Mario and said, "Mr. King, expanding projects in Hance City naturally requires a reliable partner.
Companies like Simpson Group and Shen's can offer you nothing more than equal collaboration. For
long-term development, it's essential to have all the control in your hands. Do you agree with my point
of view?"
Mario gazed indifferently at Preston and responded, "Are you suggesting that you are the partner who
can help me take control of everything?"
Preston smiled lightly, "Certainly. I can provide Mr. King with ways to deal with all the businesses in
Hance City, understanding their weaknesses and having the most comprehensive knowledge about
each company."
"What do you want from me?"
"I want, once Mr. King has firmly established himself in Hance City, for the company to be under my
management when you're not in the city. I will take care of everything."
Mario gave a faint smile, but his eyes revealed no amusement. His face remained cold as ice, and his
gaze seemed to convey that Preston was being arrogant and overly confident.
