Chapter 1237: Light and Easy
Both of them were not surprised. After all, with such a big incident, it wouldn't be appropriate for Alicia,
the party involved, to continue hiding.
Camille and Sienna exchanged glances, and Sienna asked in a low voice, "Should I accompany you?"
"No need. This is our territory. Should I be afraid of her?" Camille shook her head and declined.
Sienna didn't insist and simply said, "Call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
Yessica escorted Alicia to the conference room. Due to limited space in the company, they had to use
the large conference room to accommodate everyone. They couldn't just leave Alicia waiting in the
office lobby.
Camille handed her bag to Yessica and walked directly towards the conference room.
Sienna didn't idle either. She followed Yessica to Camille's office, which had surveillance cameras,
allowing them to see what was happening in the conference room.
Yessica whispered, "Sienna, do you think we might get fired for this?"
Sienna replied, "We're doing this for her own good. What would we do if she continued to be bullied?"
Sienna's reasoning was reasonable, and even Yessica was convinced.
However, the truth was that they simply wanted to know what those two were talking about in the
conference room.
Camille entered the conference room, and Alicia, who heard the commotion, immediately stood up and
looked towards her. Camille didn't close the door and walked directly to the seat opposite Alicia.
Her gaze was indifferent as she calmly observed Alicia. The Alicia sitting there now was no longer the
arrogant and domineering person from the hotel corridor the previous night.
Camille knew very well that Alicia must have had a difficult time these past few days.
But it had nothing to do with anyone else. Everything was caused by her own mouth.
Seeing Camille sitting silently without saying a word, Alicia's face stiffened slightly. However, she knew
the purpose of her visit today, and she couldn't deviate from it.
Alicia didn't sit down; she just stared at Camille without blinking, her lips slightly pursed, seemingly
unsure how to start.
Thus, the atmosphere remained quiet like this. If they didn't know that both of them could speak, they
might have thought they were mute.
Camille lowered her gaze slightly, her expression exceptionally cold, but her eyes never left Alicia.
However, after two or three seconds of eye contact, Alicia was the first to withdraw her gaze and look
elsewhere.
Alicia's evasive behavior amused Camille, but there was no trace of amusement in her eyes. She
spoke indifferently, "Miss Nores, did you come here to be praised for being so silent? If that's the case,
I have seen it now. If Miss Nores has nothing else, you may leave. I have work to do, and I won't keep
you any longer."
Even though there was an unpleasant incident, and even though Camille's words weren't pleasant to
hear, she maintained a basic sense of calm. She didn't create a tense atmosphere but treated Alicia
with a normal tone and attitude.
The more composed Camille appeared, the more Alicia's inner turmoil grew. But Camille had already
said her piece, and if she remained silent at this moment, her visit today would probably be in vain.
After finishing her statement, Camille prepared to stand up from her chair. However, Alicia spoke up
first, saying, "Mrs. Simpson, I came here today regarding the incident from the other night. I was too
impulsive that evening, and I shouldn't have said those things to you. I sincerely hope that Mrs.
Simpson can forgive my impudence and not hold it against me. I truly apologize."
As she spoke, Alicia slightly bowed her head towards Camille, maintaining the position without making
any movements. It was clear that if Camille didn't forgive her, she wouldn't stand up.
Camille also realized this point. As for her apology, Camille had already mentally prepared herself.
After all, if she didn't apologize, the Nores family project would continue to be delayed, and the Nores
family couldn't afford that.
Camille wasn't one to take advantage of others, but she also didn't plan to forgive generously like a
saint. She calmly said, "I have seen your apology, and I have received it, but I won't forgive you. It's not
as simple as saying hurtful words, making mistakes, and then erasing the damage with an apology.
However, rest assured, I will inform Ayan that you have apologized to me. As for whether the project
will continue or not, it's his decision, and I won't interfere."
Camille had always considered herself not a magnanimous person. On the contrary, she was someone
who held grudges. She would remember any harm done to her.
After Camille's words, Alicia also stood up slightly. She probably anticipated that Camille wouldn't easily
forgive her, but since she had made the effort to come, she naturally wanted to fight for a chance.
She said, "Mrs. Simpson, I truly acknowledge my mistake in this matter. I was just too impulsive, and I
didn't have any ill intentions. I hope you won't hold it against me. If you feel that this apology is
insufficient, I can come and apologize with my parents. Please, can you give me a chance?"
Camille calmly replied, "Actually, chances are never given by others; they are given by yourself. As I
said before, I have received your apology, but I won't forgive you. I won't cling to this matter either. I will
let Ayan know that you have apologized, and that should be enough."novelbin
"Not enough. If you don't forgive me, Mr. Simpson won't restart the project."
"That's his decision, it has nothing to do with me."
"It does matter! Mr. Simpson suspended the project because of you." Alicia tightly pursed her lips, her
face filled with a sense of grievance and sadness. The more she spoke, the more agitated her
emotions became. She continued, "Mrs. Simpson, it may be just a matter of words to you, but it has
caused significant losses for our Nores family and other businesses."
Camille furrowed her brow slightly. She found Alicia's words somewhat ridiculous and let out a cold
laugh before asking, "Miss Nores, do you even know what you're saying? You think this is just a matter
of words to me? But let me ask you, why should I help you? Do you have anything worth my
assistance? Even if it were just a single glance from me, I wouldn't want to help you. Do you
understand what I mean? I've said it before, I accept your apology, but I won't forgive you. Don't think
that speaking has no consequences."
After Camille finished speaking, she didn't want to waste any more time with Alicia. She spoke
dismissively and left the meeting room, casting one last cold gaze at Alicia.
As Camille exited the room, Yessica and Sienna also came out of their offices. Camille said to Yessica,
"Accompany Miss Nores out."
Yessica nodded quickly and went to the meeting room to find Alicia. Sienna followed Camille back to
the office. Camille poured herself a glass of water and took a sip before saying, "Alicia is truly spoiled.
You saw it too; she actually said it was just a matter of words for me. It's quite laughable, really."
The more Camille thought about it, the angrier she became. It seemed she couldn't afford to have even
the slightest bit of softness in her heart. Any trace of softness would only lead to regret.
Sienna asked, "What are you planning to do now?"
"I won't do anything. I'll just inform Ayan that she apologized to me. Will Ayan ask me to forgive her?
I've already said that I accept her apology, but I will never forgive her. If I forgive her so easily, won't
she do the same to me again next time?"
"You're right. Don't forgive her. Why should you? Who does she think she is?"
"Yes, you're right." Camille locked eyes with Sienna. Following Sienna's advice, Camille told Ayan the
same thing. Ayan asked the same question.
Camille responded just as she had told Alicia. She could accept the apology but would not forgive her.
As for whether to immediately resume the project, that was Ayan's decision.
Sensing Camille's indifference in her words, Ayan asked, "Was her attitude during the apology not
good? Shouldn't we have her apologize publicly?"
