Chapter 655 Lesson
Chapter 655 Lesson
“Yesterday I saw him get into Mr. Walker's car and I saw that theperson in the car was exactly Mr. Walker. And later he also posted astatement on Twitter indicating that he is currently working at theNorman Group of Hance City now."
Camille nodded without saying anything else, only a hint of coldness inthe bottom of her eyes.
She said, "Don't let it bother you too much, but you keep an eye on it. Ifthere is anything wrong with the project, then immediately collect theevidence.”
Yessica nodded to show her understanding.
After Yessica exited from the office, Camille's face then turned cold.What exactly does Preston want to do?
When he came back, he immediately took his secretary away from thecompany. If he didn't have anything else in mind, why didn't he ask herhimself?
Camille pursed her lips slightly. Her suspicion of Preston kept growing.He seemed to be hiding so much that, more than once, she felt as ifshe had never really known him.
At the same time, Sean was reporting to Preston: "Mr. Walker, by now,Miss Armstrong must have known that Jude Adams has come to workfor you."
Preston hummed indifferently. There wasn't much emotion on his face.He picked up his phone and glanced at it, and there were no calls ormessages from Camille.
If she already knew, why didn't she call or text him to question him?Preston waited a long time, but still no message or call from Camille,and finally he took the initiative to call her.
He asked Camille, "Cami, why didn't you have any reaction eventhough you knew Jude left for me?"
Camille felt a little ridiculous. She didn't know how to answer thisquestion.
She asked rhetorically, "How do you expect me to react? Or whatreaction do you expect from me?"
Her words caused Preston's expression to change and his voice tostiffen, but he still asked with some hope, "Cami, don't you want toknow why I poached Jude? Or are you upset because I did it?"Camille wrinkled her eyebrows, she was obviously unhappy, but hervoice did not show the slightest emotion. She just said lightly: "I don'tknow what you mean by asking this. If you know I'm not happy and yetyou do it anyway, then why should I ask? As for whether Jude is goingto work for you or anyone else, actually for me, it doesn't matter.Everyone has the right to choose better pay and benefits. It is quitenormal, so there is nothing to be unhappy about.”
Camille's words, although Preston could not distinguish her emotions,were clearly audible in her indifference.
She was like that yesterday when they met, and again today.
This made Preston subconsciously put it all down to Ayan. He felt that itwas Ayan who did not allow Camille to associate with him, and that itwas Ayan's constant denigration in front of Camille that led to Camille'scold attitude towards him, which could almost be described as notwanting to talk to him.
Since returning to Hance City, he had such thoughts more than once,so the thought of teaching Ayan a lesson had become even heavier inhis mind.
He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Cami, whether you care ornot, I have to explain to you. I didn't do this to do anything. I just cameto Hance City with insufficient manpower in hand, so I asked Sean tocontact Yessica, and he misunderstood my meaning and contactedJude directly, until just now I didn't know Sean didn't relay my meaningclearly, and I didn't want you to misunderstand me."
Camille was expressionless, without any ripple under her eyes. "It'sokay. He was originally one of your people.”
"Cami!" Preston's tone was instantly raw as he tried to explain, "He wasmy secretary yes, but that was only before I left the company. I haven'tcontacted him since I left the company. Do you think I left him at thecompany just to keep an eye on you on purpose? ?"
"Preston, I did not say that. You do not need to explain it so clearly."She also did n't think it was that important. Jude was his secretary. If hewanted him, then just ask, and why did he need to beat around thebush?
As for his claim that he had only just learned that Sean had notconveyed his meaning clearly, Camille was less than convinced.
She had known Preston for so long, and worked with him for so long.He was a careful man, and he would not allow such a lapse to occur.Camille did not point it out, keeping each other's dignity.
Because Camille's response was too cold, no matter what Prestonsaid, she didn't show any warmth. It was like boiling frog in warm water,making him not know how to do about it. He wanted to question, butcould not replace a reason, so he could only take the initiative to end thetopic.
But the call was still going on, Preston said in a light voice: "Cami, I justjoined this project . There are a lot of things I do not know too well. Iwant to invite Mr. and Mrs. Bell for dinner, but you know, I'm not familiarwith Mr. and Mrs. Bell, so you can go with me? *
Camille's slightly furrowed brow had not yet been smoothed out andwas now furrowed again as she subconsciously refused, "Haven't youand Mr. Bell met a few times already?"
"Although we met a few times, we couldn't talk about anything, and theatmosphere of eating alone is too quiet quite awkward. You and Mrs.Bell are in a good relationship. With you, I can also be comfortable. Youcan take this as a favor to me, okay?"
Preston asked expectantly.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked indifferently, "You areBenjamin in front of Mr. and Mrs. Bell. Won't I reveal your identity byhaving this meal with you?"
It was Preston's turn to be silent. He hadn't thought about it. All hisattention was on trying to convince Camille to say yes.
At this moment Camille asked such a rhetorical question, he wassilence shortly, and then said: "I will confess to Mr. and Mrs. Bell. I didnot only invited them and you. I also thought of the reason. You are thearchitect of the project. I am responsible for the finance. So it's normalfor me to turn to you to know more about the project. So Cami, do notturn me down again, okay? You're the only one I can trust in HanceCity, and if you won't help me either, who else will?"
He knew that Camille was soft-hearted. A direct request would definitelynot work, so he had to make Camille compromise in this way.
He also talked about the time when he came to Hance City with Camilleand was unfamiliar with everything, but was full of confidence, becauseCamille was there, so he felt that nothing mattered. As long as Camillewas with him, all the difficulties would be solved.
He said a lot until Camille interrupted with a voice: "I can't give you anexact answer, because the company has been doing a lot of thingslately."
"That's okay, I can wait for you." Preston was probably worried thatCamille would still politely refuse, so he directly said, "I'l meet youdownstairs at the office after work. You don't have to rush. Myappointment with Mr. and Mrs. Bell can depend on your time."
"Cami, it's decided then.”
After saying that, Preston cut the call first, he would not give Camillethe chance to say no.
And then he made a personal call to Mr. Bell to make an appointmentfor dinner tonight at 8:00 p. m. Here was his excuse: "I also have anappointment with Camille, and she's busy at the office today, so shewon't finish work until about this time."
Mr. Bell was naturally fine with it. After all, Camille was there, even ifthere was any doubt, it was immediately dispelled.
After making a date and time for dinner in the evening, Preston thencalled Sean to come to the study.
He looked impassively at Sean and ordered, "Ayan doesn't need to picka time anymore, just schedule it for tonight!"
Sean immediately understood the meaning of his words, but his eyesstill overflowed with a trace of doubt. He said, "Mr. Walker, will it be toosoon? Ayan will suspect you if we do it now, right?"
