Chapter 1211: Correction
Camille was very willing to praise him, saying, "Hmm, you're amazing. I hope you keep up the good
work, hmm?" She smiled and gently patted his shoulder.
Lately, their interactions had been much more pleasant than before, creating an atmosphere that made
one feel relaxed.
This style of getting along also made Camille feel an unprecedented level of comfort. She thought that
perhaps this was how couples maintained a constant sense of freshness?
After a little over an hour, the car came to a steady stop at a hotel owned by the Nores Group.
However, it wasn't a top-class hotel, just one that the Nores family specifically used to entertain clients
of the Nores Group and for their own needs. The business there was only average.
After the car stopped, Mr. Nores was reminded by his secretary that it was Ayan's car. He immediately
approached with a smile on his face, personally opening the car door for Ayan and spoke with extreme
politeness, "Welcome, Mr. Simpson. I am truly honored by your presence!"
Ayan simply nodded lightly without much expression on his face.
After Ayan got out of the car, he reached his hand back towards the car, and Camille's hand rested in
his palm as she got out of the car. Only then did Mr. Nores notice that Camille had also come.
He didn't have much of an impression of Camille, but he knew who she was. After all, there had been
photos of her online, so he recognized her.
He greeted Camille with a smile, "This must be Mrs. Simpson, right? Truly a perfect match for Mr.
Simpson, both in talent and beauty."
Camille gave a light smile in response as a greeting.
Ayan asked Mr. Nores in a low voice, "Has Miss King arrived?"
Mr. Nores quickly nodded and said, "Yes, she has arrived and is already seated in a private room.
Once I learned that Mr. Simpson was coming, I personally came down to receive you."
"Mr. Nores, you're too kind," Ayan replied casually.
Although Mr. Nores was a bit older than Ayan, he was by no means inferior to him in the business
world. So, Mr. Nores tried his best to please Ayan, hoping to gain his favor and bring endless benefits
to the Nores Group.
The atmosphere was still pleasant up to this point.
Until a melodious voice rang out, "Dad!!"
Alicia was dressed in a red V-neck long dress, catching everyone's attention with her beauty. Her fair
skin, well-proportioned figure, and sexy and beautiful appearance naturally attracted many gazes.
She tilted her neck back and raised her chin, walking towards Mr. Nores with a smile on her face.
However, when she saw Camille standing beside Ayan, her expression instantly stiffened.
Of course, Mr. Nores understood what she was thinking, so he immediately spoke up, "Alicia, come
here." Alicia dared not disobey and could only walk up to Mr. Nores and stop in her tracks.
Mr. Nores introduced, "This is Mr. Simpson and Mrs. Simpson." Then he turned to Ayan and Camille
and said, "This is my daughter, Alicia. She has been spoiled by her mother and can be a bit
headstrong. I hope Mr. Simpson and Mrs. Simpson will be patient with her."
Ayan showed no obvious expression, not even a glance in her direction. This was clearly visible to
Alicia, and her face became extremely stiff, with a strong sense of stubbornness and disdain in her
eyes.
But with Mr. Nores pulling and reminding her, she could only lower her head and say to Ayan and
Camille, "Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Simpson, hello."
Camille simply nodded, while Ayan didn't even bother with a perfunctory response.
Ayan indifferently said, "Mr. Nores, do you intend to finish all our discussions here?"
Mr. Nores quickly invited Ayan to enter.
Ayan held Camille's hand and took the first step towards the hotel entrance. Mr. Nores glanced at
Alicia, his eyes carrying a warning, telling her to behave and not do anything that would put the Nores
family at risk.novelbin
But Alicia couldn't listen. Her eyes were filled with jealousy as she stared at Ayan and Camille's backs.
She had dressed up carefully, but Ayan had come with Camille.
But then she thought that Camille's appearance was just too ordinary. She refused to believe that her
carefully prepared look would be any less than Camille's.
Hmph.
With these thoughts in mind, her smile increased, and then she followed Mr. Nores into the hotel.
Inside the private room, everyone was already seated.
Tonight, Mr. Nores was the host, and he naturally had to liven up the atmosphere. Not only that, but he
also took the initiative to raise his glass and propose a toast, especially to those younger than him.
However, in the business world, it's about status, not age.
Mr. Nores personally poured drinks for everyone and then looked at them with a pleasing smile, saying,
"I want to thank all of you for coming tonight. If there are any shortcomings in the hospitality, I hope you
can forgive me."
Mario, being new to the scene, naturally responded politely, as did Horace. Only Ayan's attitude was
icy.
Mr. Nores, of course, could sense it, so he had been constantly trying to please Ayan. He looked at
Ayan and said, "Mr. Simpson, this is our first collaboration. If there's anything we haven't done well, I
hope you can give us a chance to make it right."
Ayan glanced lightly at Mr. Nores, then asked Mario, "Does Miss King understand what Mr. Nores
means?"
Ayan threw the question to Mario since Mario was the one communicating with the Nores family.
Mario looked at Ayan and then said, "Mr. Simpson, please don't misunderstand. Mr. Nores is just trying
to secure an opportunity for future cooperation with Simpson Group."
Ayan nodded, "I see. But the next opportunity is still far off. Let's focus on enjoying the meal today. As
for work-related matters, let's discuss them less. What do you all think?"
Horace raised his glass of water and took a sip, calmly saying, "I think that's fine."
With both Horace and Ayan expressing their opinions, Mario looked at Mr. Nores with a distant smile
and said, "Then today is simply a meal. As for work, we can discuss and adjust after the project
officially begins."
After Mario's words, Mr. Nores immediately agreed, "Very well, today is mainly about eating. Let's all
pick up our chopsticks and enjoy the dishes. These are our specialties. If anyone has any suggestions,
feel free to speak up. I'll do my best to improve and strive for better."
No one responded to Mr. Nores' words, and his face stiffened slightly, but he maintained his smile.
Alicia, on the side, pursed her lips and looked at everyone with a smile. She proactively raised her
glass and spoke in a gentle voice, "I propose a toast to everyone. Thank you all for gracing us with
your presence. I'm also very grateful to Mr. Simpson, Miss King, and Mr. Burris for giving the Nores
family this opportunity to cooperate. In our future collaborations, I hope everyone will take good care of
us. I'll drink this glass as a gesture of respect."
After Alicia finished speaking, she immediately raised her glass and emptied it. Her generosity and
confidence made her adept at socializing. She wanted to show Ayan that she could assist him in their
future work.
However, Ayan didn't give her a single glance, not even a hint of picking up his glass. It was Camille
who lightly touched his arm and reminded him with her eyes. Only then did he slowly lift the glass, cold
and distant, and take a sip.
