Chapter 1292: Luck
But in today's phone call, Ayan wasn't explaining the time to Crystal, but telling her, "I don't want you to
be too enthusiastic towards them. If you continue like this, it's hard to guarantee that they won't suspect
anything. You're also a girl, and a single word or even a letter can give rise to countless imaginations in
your mind. So, don't have too frequent contact with them."
Crystal was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Simpson, we only meet for a meal once in a long
while. Are you going to take that away too?"
"I'm not taking anything away, just reminding you. If she really has any misunderstandings or negative
thoughts, then I don't think it's necessary for you to stay in Hance City anymore. We agreed that I won't
hinder your goals, but the premise is that she willingly accepts it and won't be harmed or provoked.
Otherwise, I won't comply with your wishes."
Ayan's words left no room for negotiation, causing Crystal's heart to tremble, and she fell into a
momentary state of dazed silence.
Ayan's voice continued, "Crystal, I know you're trying to get close to Camille, to develop a connection
with her, to make her understand you and the Bill family. But as I said, now is not the time. You can be
friends with her, but the condition is that you can't make her suspicious or question the purpose of your
presence. She's someone who starts overthinking once she has any doubts, and it will seriously affect
her mood. If that's the case, then I think it's really unnecessary."
From the very beginning, Ayan had made it clear to Crystal that if she only cared about the final
outcome, he would do everything to stop Camille. As long as he didn't allow it, Camille would naturally
choose to stand on his side.
So, Crystal couldn't ignore Ayan's reminder or disregard his words. She couldn't help but keep Ayan's
words in mind.
After a brief silence, Crystal finally spoke softly, "I understand what you mean. I won't be too eager in
our interactions from now on. I'll treat it like a normal friendship."
"It's good that you understand. Don't misunderstand anything. Her surprise was only because she felt
your enthusiasm. So, she asked me, and I couldn't give her much of an answer. I could only tell her
that you wanted to be friends with her because of Preston. Due to that, Cami doesn't dare to open up
completely."
Because they had reached an age where they didn't do anything without considering the
consequences, both Ayan and Camille understood this. Their previous friends had been able to
maintain their relationships up until now, so they would naturally continue to accompany each other for
the rest of their lives. But if they hadn't reached this point, their paths would naturally diverge, and they
wouldn't have much interaction anymore.
This was Camille's and Ayan's thoughts. Now, it was necessary to understand the friends they were
getting to know and slowly move towards becoming genuine friends after having a basic
understanding.
Crystal indicated that she understood, not for anything else but because she didn't want to end things
with Camille at this point.
Since Crystal understood, Ayan naturally wouldn't say anything more.
After the phone call ended, Kian, who had been waiting on the side, heard everything clearly. Seeing
Ayan's continuously unpleasant expression, he spoke up, "Mr. Simpson, is Crystal being too
impatient?"
"Probably."
Impatience is not a good thing. Madam's personality is originally reserved, and if Crystal is too eager to
express her enthusiasm, Madam will definitely suspect something. Moreover, there's Mrs. Ward, who is
equally intelligent as Madam. When the two of them are together, along with Yessica, they will surely
imagine all sorts of possibilities.
"Well, you're right," Ayan nodded in agreement because that was indeed the case. He took a deep
breath and said, "Let's finish up the work here as soon as possible and then return to Hance City!"
Kian nodded, and they both left the hotel room.
Ayan didn't have much going on in the evening, but Mr. Tillery had arranged a meeting with several
partners from the Tillery Group for Ayan to meet. These partners were the owners of companies that
had just completed the project, so Ayan knew them to some extent, although they weren't very familiar.
Meeting them for dinner tonight and having a drink would help establish some business connections.
Ayan arrived at the hotel where they were going to have dinner, but Mr. Tillery hadn't arrived yet.
However, Ayan wasn't alone; one of the partners named Hannibal was already there.
The age difference between the two wasn't significant, and they had met at the reception last night, sonovelbin
it wasn't an awkward situation.
They sat on the sofa in the private room, sipping coffee and chatting. After a while, Hannibal suddenly
asked, "Does Mr. Simpson know Rong?"
Ayan instinctively paused and looked at Hannibal with a hint of confusion in his eyes and an expression
of disbelief on his face.
Perhaps sensing his surprise and shock, Hannibal smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Simpson, don't be
surprised. Rong and I have been good friends for many years. He has been a great help to my
company. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to Mr. Simpson right now."
Hannibal's words confirmed to Ayan that he was indeed associated with Horace. After all, he had only
talked to Horace earlier today about finding someone who knew Mr. Tillery to inquire about him, and
now someone appeared in front of Ayan.
However, without verifying with Horace, Ayan couldn't simply assume that what Hannibal said was true.
Ayan nodded slightly and whispered, "You're a grateful person, and in our language, such people are
said to have good fortune."
Hannibal laughed, seemingly pleased with Ayan's response.
He was someone who believed in good luck. He considered himself a kind person, which is why he
believed fortunate things happened to him.
Hannibal added, "Mr. Simpson is right. I'm a grateful person, so I will have good luck. Rong said Mr.
Simpson is also a good person, so he will be lucky too."
"Thank you!"
Hannibal said this sentence in somewhat broken Mandarin, which surprised Ayan, but admiration could
be seen in his eyes. Co?tent of Dr?м??ovеls.cоm
The two of them chatted for a while until Mr. Tillery and the other partners finally arrived.
So, throughout the discussion, it was mostly Mr. Tillery doing the talking, while everyone else listened
quietly.
After a while, Mr. Tillery mentioned Ayan and looked at him, asking, "Does Mr. Simpson have any good
suggestions?"
