Chapter 661 Apology
Preston's emotions gradually became agitated. His words madeCamille confused over what he meant.
But Preston was also reluctant to say more, and his voice was a littlehoarse as he said, "Sorry Cami, I didn't mean to get mad at you. I justthought of something unforgettable.”
The more he said this, the more bewildered Camille became, and themore she didn't understand what was going on between them.
What was he hiding?
Camille frowned and her expression was very stiff as she said, "I didn'tfeel that way, and I didn't think that way. I'm sorry if there is anymisunderstanding.”
"No, Cami, I don't need you to apologize to me, and you don't need tofeel sorry for me, because you're not the one who should be sorry.”His words mean a lot.
Camille's heart grew heavier with doubt, and her expression becamegrave and troubled as she asked, "Who do you think is the person whoshould apologize?"
Preston just smiled bitterly. He did not answer the question, justnonchalantly said: "Your Grandma's matter will soon have results.Although I did not say it, I have been investigating. I will get theevidence to prove my innocence to you. I will regain your trust."
He didn't bother Camille any more with talking, just said he'd let her geton with her own business, and then ended the call.
Preston's reaction was a little too predictable, and Camille's mind wasfilled with questions, many of which were a foggy mess that made herfeel so tired.
She sat alone in the café until Ayan's call came, which retracted hermind back and she went back to the ward.
Rex and the others had left, leaving Ayan alone in the ward.
He was lying in his hospital bed and watched Camille come in andimmediately beckoned, "Come over here for me."
Camille walked over and he took her hand in his and asked in a shallowvoice, "Where have you been? What took you so long to get up here?""I sat downstairs for a while and thought I'd leave some time for youpals to chat.”
"Next time they are not allowed to come, I do not want to talk withthem." He said seriously, without coaxing at all. He lowered his eyes tolook at her beautiful fingers, and with a dumb voice, he said: "You feelvery boring to stay with me here? So you want to replace a chance to getrid of me?"
Camille felt a little speechless. She did not say anything. She didn't doanything. He began to fantasize endlessly like a scriptwriter.
She swept him a cold glance and said without much emotion, "Well,you're right. I have such an intention, so do you want to make it true forme?"
Ayan looked at her and gave a light laugh, "What do you think?"
"I think it's definitely possible.”
"Hey, nice try! Don't even think about getting rid of me!"
After saying that, he clutched her hand more tightly.
Ayan refused to hire a caregiver, although he couldn't walk for now dueto the foot injury. As for Kian, his answer was, "Kian's salary is muchhigher than a caregiver's. It's not cost-effective for Simpson Group andme. He has to stay in the company to handle my business."
So naturally, the most suitable candidate was left with only one person,and that was Camille.
And that was the ultimate meaning in his words.
He had decided so and meant it. Camille knew what was in his mind,but because she was also concerned about his condition, she also hadto stay with him.
Camille spent the morning at the hospital, and after lunch, Camillereturned to Maple Leaves Mansion while Kian came to report to Ayan.She didn't change her clothes last night, so he went back to MapleLeaves Mansion to take a shower, and then went out to the nearestsupermarket to buy some wholesome ingredients to make soup forAyan.
Camille came out of the residence building and was just about to walkto her car when she met Horace, who was also returning from outside.The two looked at each other. Horace nodded in greeting. Camille alsonodded slightly with a smile on her face.
Horace asks, "Is Mr. Simpson all right?"
It was no secret that Ayan was involved in a car accident last night, andthe first time he saw the news online, he already had his secretary callKian to express his concern.
Camille: "Well, it's okay. It's not that serious.”
Horace face was cold without any obvious expression. He didn'tcontinue this topic, but very naturally shifted to the next issue, with hisvoice nonchalant: “The design drawing has come out. I originallyplanned to ask you for some advice recently, but now it seems I have towait for another time."
Camille immediately said: "Mr. Burris is being too polite. It will just bemy personal ideas, which can't be equal to the so-called advice. If Mr.Burris needs it, send it straight to the mailbox."
Horace's job had almost finished. Now all that needed to be done wasto check all the parts and then get started.
"Yes."
Horace answered.
Camille also gave a low hum and then was silent.
The two looked at each other and it followed in silence.
After a few seconds, Camille quietly took a deep breath and spoke in alow voice: "Then I'll leave first, go shopping for something.”
Horace nodded in response.
Camille said goodbye again before pulling open the car door andgetting ready to go.
Horace then said, "Camille, I have a question for you.”
Camille looked at him with some surprise, "What is it?"
"Have you and Mr. Baxter known each other for a long time?"
Horace had always been very direct in his questions, without anyambage.
Camille was just stunned. Her face did not look the least unusual asshe answered in a calm voice, "What did Mr. Burris want to say?"Horace still had an impassive expression. He said, "Don't get mewrong. I do not mean anything else. Just from these two times together,I can see that you and Ms. Simpson and Mr. Baxter should have knowneach other for a long time."
Camille did not speak, because Horace was so smarte would guess itout with the smallest evidence, and Grace had also met Preston,although they were not very familiar, so as longtarted to guess asHorace s, he would put together everything and figure it out.
He also asked Camille directly if she and Ayan were separated, so itwas hard for Camille to deny Horace's question directly.
Her eyes sank slightly, and the warmth on her face turned intoindifference. She returned unhurriedly, "Since Mr. Burris is asking methis, I guess you must already have an answer, right?"
Horace didn't deny it, and the two just stared at each other.
Camille asked, "Is there anything more Mr. Burris would like to say?"Horace: "Did you think I would use this as a threat to get you or Mr.Simpson to promise me something?"
Camille did not say anything, but she was more or less thinking of thesame thing.
Horace indifferent face showed a light smile, and he said: "It is alsovery normal for you to think this way. After all, my identity and what Ihave figured out are easily leading people to feel that there's somethingbehind it. But Camille, get rid of your suspicion of me. I came to HanceCity only to expand the business. I'm not interested in other people'spersonal feud. Since I work on this project as a shareholder ofArmstrong Corp, I naturally do not want any mistakes, because this ismy first project in Armstrong Corp, I need this project to establish myprestige. My purpose is simple. No any accident during the project.”Horace's earnest remarks silenced Camille. This was the first time hehad said so much since he had known Horace.
Camille was at a loss for words.
Her expression also turned stiff, and her heart was even moreapprehensive.
Horace's concerns were actually quite normal. No mistake. After all,everyone's interests and concerns were different, so she could notforce others to do as she wanted, but only remind herself not to dosomething counterproductive.
After all, she knew best about Ayan and Preston's positions.
