Chapter 1483: Decrease
Ayan was drinking coffee, holding the cup against the leather office chair, and looking at his phonewith a faint smile on his lips. "Even if I'm busy, I still want to go fishing for a while."
"I want to complain about you, to let your employees see what their CEO is doing."
"Complaining about me would implicate you as well, wouldn't it?"
"I don't mind. My employees are used to me being more relaxed." After all, Camille didn't even haveto come to the company for days at a time, and the company's people were already used to it.
But Ayan was different. He didn't rest for a few days a month, unless there was somethingimportant, he stayed punctual most of the time.
The two joked for a while.
Then Ayan asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."
"I want to eat the full feast."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
Ayan didn't hesitate at all. He said, "I don't know how to make the full feast. I'll have the chef outsidecome to our place. Which restaurant do you want? I'll have Kian contact them now, it's still earlyenough, right?"
He looked at the time; it was still relatively early, and it was almost time to prepare the ingredients.
Ayan had no intention of joking. Instead, he surprised Camille.
"I was teasing you," Camille said. She didn't really want to eat the full feast; in fact, she didn't have aspecific preference, but she had been eating well recently, so something light felt good.
The two discussed the dinner, and in the end, they decided to have coconut chicken soup and somesteamed vegetables, which felt great.
After chatting for a while, half an hour had passed. Ayan had just put down his phone and wasabout to pick up some documents from the desk when the office door was pushed open from theoutside.
Kian walked in with a solemn look. His voice was low as he said, "Mr. Simpson, Sean just calledme. He said Elijah is missing."
Ayan's hand holding the documents paused slightly, and a hint of indifference appeared on his face.He lifted his eyelids and looked at Kian. "Elijah is missing?"
"Yeah, missing."
"Our people? Have they been bribed?"
Kian quickly denied. "They haven't been bribed, it's just some unexpected events happened. Elijahhas been very cooperative lately, not contacting Preston anymore. We initially thought it was anaccident in their partnership, but now it seems like it was Preston's idea, deliberately misleadingus!"
From the hotel surveillance, Elijah had drugged a cleaning staff member and dressed as her. He puton a mask and hat, and because of his petite frame, it was easy for him to pass as a woman.
But it had been two hours since Elijah had left the hotel, and he couldn't be found. His son, Sean,had also been taken control of.
Sean, of course, denied any involvement. He said, "I promised that I wouldn't help Preston withanything. What my dad did with him has nothing to do with me. I wouldn't abandon my own son forhim."
Sean was extremely agitated, as Elijah's actions put him directly in danger.
Sean begged Ayan to find Elijah quickly, but since Elijah was in disguise, there was no way to findhim.
Kian detailed the situation to Ayan and promised to find him immediately.
But Ayan responded indifferently, "If he's willing to leave after lurking for so long, he must have beenwell prepared. Do you think you can easily find him?"
Elijah was not at ease from the start, and his purpose in coming out was naturally to meet withPreston. Otherwise, he would not have compromised the cooperation with Ayan, nor would he havestayed by Brody's side for so long.
Elijah was willing to give everything for Preston, so it was easy to see how important theirrelationship was.
Ayan had anticipated this, so he was not worried at all. Kian was filled with doubts seeing Ayan'scalm demeanor, but Ayan had his reasons. As a secretary, Kian couldn't ask much more and couldonly let the bodyguards dedicated to watching Elijah do their best to find him.
The news of Elijah's disappearance quickly reached Camille's ears.
Because of Kian's terrible mood, Yessica immediately informed Camille as well.
Camille immediately called Ayan.novelbin
In Camille's eyes, this was not a trivial matter, so she was naturally very worried.
Camille asked Ayan about the situation over the phone, and Ayan only said, "Don't worry, we'll talkabout it when I get home tonight, okay?"
It was still several hours before leaving work and coming home, but Ayan's calm demeanor madeCamille unable to help asking, "Aren't you in a hurry? Or do you have a plan?"
Ayan didn't answer, just smiled faintly. "Would I be in such a hurry?"
"I don't want to joke with you. Are you serious? Does this matter have an impact on you?"
"It definitely has an impact, but this is what I want."
"What do you want?"
"Yeah." Ayan didn't want to continue the conversation. He said, "Come home early tonight. I'll cookfor you. If you want to ask something, we'll talk about it in person, okay?"
Camille was stunned, but she quickly agreed.
However, Camille's worries did not diminish at all, and she had many questions in her mind becauseshe learned from Yessica that Kian felt guilty and remorseful about Elijah's disappearance.However, from what Ayan just said, it seemed like Ayan had foreseen it.
Was Ayan keeping it from Kian?
