Chapter 1222: Surprise
"She added me on WeChat, do you have her too?"
"No," Camille still shook her head, but curiosity appeared in her eyes. "When did you two become so
close?"
"We're not close. Didn't we meet after the competition ended? And I think she's a righteous person,
plus she's pretty. You know, attractive people tend to attract other attractive people."
"Are you just setting up all this to fish for a compliment?" Camille couldn't help but see through Sienna's
intentions, and she didn't deny it either. She just smiled and said, "Hey, don't say it out loud. Beautiful
women can also feel embarrassed, you know."
Camille stopped teasing her and simply asked, "So when did you actually become so friendly with
her?"
"It's not like we're friends. She's just more proactive. She always messages me, and I can't not reply,
right? After all, I'm a considerate little fairy, I can't be cold-hearted!" Sienna said, feeling surprised
herself. She continued, "I don't have any real connection with her, and I don't know why she's become
so proactive. It feels like she has ulterior motives, you know that feeling? But I still can't sense anything
unusual. I just can't figure her out. What do you think I should do?"
Camille fell silent for a moment. According to reason, they didn't have much interaction with Crystal.
After all, when the company chose an assistant, they selected someone more suitable and rejected
Crystal. They only learned about her again when they found out she participated in the competition. At
that time, they were sure she was exceptional, as participating in the competition required skill,
experience, and most importantly, being a professional designer.
Crystal seemed to fit the bill. Initially, Camille thought there might be some difficulties in getting along
because she had rejected Crystal before. However, Crystal was extremely gracious and didn't bring up
the past at all. This surprised both Camille and Sienna.
Now, hearing Sienna talk about how proactive Crystal was with her, Camille couldn't help but feel a
trace of astonishment.
Camille asked Sienna, "Have your conversations with her been unrelated to work?"
"Well, we rarely talk about work. It's mostly random conversations. She sends me funny and interesting
things she comes across, and we chat about that. Sometimes she asks me about good places to eat in
Hance City, but you know, I'm not from Hance City. It's actually her who's studying there. Doesn't she
know these things? It feels like she's intentionally trying to find things to talk about with me. You know, I
used to find it a bit surprising, but I didn't think much of it. But now, after talking to you, I'm starting to
feel a bit uneasy about it."
Sienna shrugged, genuinely sensing that something was off. After all, they weren't particularly close
friends, so why was Crystal being so proactive? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she
felt.
The two locked eyes, and Camille asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"Well, it slipped my mind, and I didn't think much of it, to be honest. I guess I didn't delve deep enough
in my thoughts, so I didn't pay much attention," Sienna replied.
Sienna was now troubled. She carefully thought it through and couldn't shake off the feeling that
something was wrong. She squinted her eyes and softly asked, "Why is she reaching out to me and not
you? Do you think she has some ulterior motive towards me? Or maybe towards someone close to
me?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Could it be that she likes Rex? Is she intentionally becoming friends with me?" Sienna blurted out an
incredible idea. Of course, she didn't think Rex was irresistible, but she simply couldn't think of any
other possibilities after ruling out many. She was running out of ideas.
But Camille chuckled and said, "You know what? That might actually be a possibility."
Camille was just joking, taking it lightly. She took a deep breath and continued, "Forget it, let's not
speculate anymore. Maybe we're just being paranoid, thinking too much. Perhaps she genuinely wants
to be friends with you, who knows?"
Sienna nodded along, but she couldn't shake off that indescribable feeling in her heart.
Sometimes things were like that. It was better to leave certain matters untouched, but once they were
brought up, it was hard not to overthink.
However, the two didn't have time to dwell on it further because Yessica brought in a delicious
afternoon tea.
Yessica said, "Kian sent it over. Cami, Mr. Simpson bought it for you."
Camille hadn't expected that, as they didn't mention it during their call. Nevertheless, she took a picture
of the coffee and sent it to Ayan.
She said, "Thank you for the surprise."
Ayan was probably busy as he didn't reply immediately.
Sienna started teasing Yessica again, "You just delivered it and left?"
"Yes, there's still work to do at the office," Yessica replied without sensing Sienna's probing, obediently
nodding her head.
But Camille knew Sienna best and knew exactly what she was about to say.
Camille quietly sipped her coffee, maintaining silence as she watched Sienna continue questioning
Yessica, "Didn't you stay back to keep her company?"
Yessica instantly felt a bit embarrassed and replied, "I still have work to do. I can't delay his work, can
I?"
"What's more important, his work or you? Why don't you make him choose? Is Ayan more important, or
are you?" Sienna started suggesting mischievous ideas again.
Yessica was taken aback and had no idea how to respond. She looked at Camille with a pleading
expression, her eyes clearly saying, "Save me."
Camille smiled and said, "Alright, don't make it difficult for her. If she actually asks that, then do you
have to make Kian resign next? And then, you can use this opportunity to get Rex to recruit Kian to
Shen Corporation, right?"
Sienna pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to expose me so directly!"
The conversation between the two instantly livened up the atmosphere in the office, and all three of
them had smiles on their faces.
Camille and Sienna shared many stories about love with Yessica. Camille asked Yessica, "Has he
mentioned anything about marriage to you?"
"Not yet. After all, we haven't been together for long, so there's no rush, right?"
"If he proposes to you, would you say yes?"novelbin
Yessica paused, feeling it was a sudden question, but she answered seriously, "Yes, we have great
understanding between us. He treats me well and has never said anything hurtful to me. His parents
are also very kind to me, and it's not just empty talk. They said they would upgrade to a bigger house
once we get married, so it would be convenient for us to have a baby. Rex's current house will be left
for them in their old age, and they will provide the money for the new house, with the property
registered under my name."
"This is what his parents told me during our heart-to-heart conversation. Even if it's not true, I'm still
happy because they can at least say such things. Moreover, his parents are not the type who only talk
but don't act, and Kian is not a blindly filial person. He considers everything carefully. In fact, he said
that it's all thanks to Mr. Simpson that he has become so good. Mr. Simpson changed him."
As Yessica spoke, her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Camille. She gazed at Camille
earnestly and said, "Cami, thank you."
Camille was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why would you thank me? It's not like I brought Kian
here!"
"Because you connected us. You allowed me to have such a wonderful boyfriend. If you hadn't
accepted him for me, I don't know who would have ended up with him. But now, looking back, I'm glad
it's me, or else I would have missed out, right?"
Yessica's words made Camille couldn't help but laugh.
Camille looked at Sienna beside her and said, "In the future, don't infect Yessica with your sneaky
thoughts. Look at what you've done to her."
The three of them shared a smile, and it was at that moment that Sienna's phone rang.
She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and immediately turned the screen towards Camille, raising an
eyebrow, "See, you shouldn't casually mention people."
