Chapter 838: Accommodating

Without changing his expression, he responded to Sienna's words andwalked up to Ayan, extending his hand for a handshake. He said, "Mr.Simpson, it wouldn't be right not to welcome you to Flento. I want tothank Mr. Simpson and Camille for taking care of Sienna in HanceCity."

Ayan also raised his hand and shook it with Mario, his face calm andcomposed. His tone remained unaffected as he said, "No need to be sopolite. Sienna is Cami's good friend, and naturally, she's my friend too.Friends don't need such formalities and politeness.”

Though Ayan's words were merely courteous, they served to createdistance between him and Mario. Implicitly, he was telling Mario thatthey didn't need his gratitude for taking care of Sienna. It had nothing todo with him; their connection was solely based on their relationship withSienna, and they didn't require the thanks of outsiders.

Mario, being an intelligent person, naturally understood the meaningbehind Ayan's words.

However, he continued to smile and didn't reveal any of his emotions.He continued, "That's true, but I still want to thank Mr. Simpson andCamille for taking care of Sienna. Sienna is from the King family, andthat can't be changed. If Mr. Simpson and Camille don't mind, let's havelunch together tomorrow. I'll make the arrangements, consider it awelcoming dinner.”

Camille looked at Sienna'’s expressionless face. She didn't originallyintend to respond to Mario's words. Her relationship with Mario wasrelatively okay, without any conflicts or unpleasant experiences. It wasonly because of Sienna that their relationship naturally became distant.Upon hearing his words, Camille smiled lightly and spoke, "Mario, didyou forget? I'm also half a resident of Flento, so I'm quite familiar with it.There's no need for that. This time, I came to Flento City to accompanySienna for a couple of days. There's no need for excessive politeness.Mario shouldn't mind it, right?"

Camille's face displayed a polite smile. She looked at Mario, waiting forhis response. She was polite and courteous, showing no disrespect,but she gave off a sense of deliberately keeping her distance.

Mario spoke slowly, "Of course, I wouldn't mind. It's just that you'vecome all this way, and you could at least call me Mario, so why refuseme? Otherwise, after you leave, Sienna might give me a hard time andblame me for not hosting you properly.”

Mario insisted on inviting Camille and Ayan to dinner, wanting to extendhis hospitality. However, Camille and the others didn't want to have thismeal with him.

He persisted, and no one could figure out what he was up to.

Then, he turned to Sienna and said, "Sienna, Camille is your bestfriend, and it's her first time bringing her husband along. We shouldtreat them to a meal, don't you agree?"

Although Mario's words didn't sound unusual or threatening, theycaused Sienna to pause briefly and then reluctantly nod her head.After Sienna nodded, Mario revealed a satisfied smile and said, "That'ssettled then. We'll have lunch together tomorrow. I won't disturb younow as I have other guests to attend to. See you tomorrow afternoon.”After Mario left, the three of them also left the restaurant and got intothe car.

However, the atmosphere was unusually quiet. Sienna had remainedsilent the whole time, her expression cold and indifferent. Her mooddidn't seem very good.

Ayan glanced at Sienna out of the corner of his eye and then quietlyspoke to Camille, "If you feel uncomfortable, we can leave Flento Citytomorrow and smoothly decline the meal. But if we leave, will it causeany trouble for you?"

He was referring to whether Mario would give her a hard time becauseof it.

Sienna naturally understood and quickly said, “I'm not uncomfortable.I'm just worried that you might feel uneasy. So if you don't want to go,I'll call him later to explain. You should stick to your original plans. Youshouldn't cancel your schedule ahead of time because of someinsignificant person, right?"

Sienna didn't want Camille and Ayan to worry, so she maintained asmile on her face to assure them that everything was fine. However,Camille might not have been able to read the underlying meaningbehind her smile, but Ayan had met countless people and couldn'tpossibly miss any subtle emotions.

He squinted his eyes, recalling the moment Sienna agreed to Mario'srequest after he mentioned it was Camille's first time bringing herhusband to Flento City.

This made him wonder, is Sienna's agreement related to Camille andhimself?

But he and Sienna didn't have a deep connection, so Sienna wouldn'tdo something for his sake. Therefore, the root of it all must lie withCamille.

Did Mario use Camille to threaten her?

As this thought emerged in his mind, he instantly narrowed his eyesand couldn't help but wonder, how could Mario use Camille for tothreaten Sienna?

Her personal safety? Well, that alone wouldn't be sufficient because hewasn't one to be trifled with. If Mario wanted to use Camille's safety asleverage against Sienna, it would also be a threat to him. Once hefound out, he definitely wouldn't let Mario off easily. So he wouldn't puthimself in trouble willingly.

Although their two companies didn't have any conflicts since theyoperated in different business areas, there was no direct conflict.Moreover, the Simpson Group's status was not to be underestimated.He wouldn't jeopardize his interests by offending the Simpson Groupwithout good reason.

After ruling out Camille's safety, other thoughts gradually emerged inhis mind. He squinted his eyes, pondering Mario's words repeatedly,and new conjectures started to form in his mind.

If it's really as he thought, then it would make sense.

He made a soft snort, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes, but hisexpression remained unchanged, devoid of any unnecessary changesor emotions.

Back at the hotel, Sienna insisted on not staying there any longer. Shesaid, "I'm really happy that you both came. I caught up with Cami lastnight, so it's better to maintain a safe distance tonight. If we get tooclose, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the urge to keep you here asmy company. So let's take care of ourselves respectively tonight.”Sienna's words seemed lighthearted, but deep down, she felt a tinge ofreluctance to leave Camille.

Ayan suggested, "Since you don't want to stay, how about Cami goesback with you?"

Camille nodded, her heart pounding with anticipation, as she looked atSienna, waiting for her response.

But Sienna shook her head and said, "I appreciate Mr. Simpson's kindoffer, but if Cami goes back with me, I'm afraid she'll wake up in themiddle of the night and take a taxi back to the hotel to replace you. So it'sbetter not to."

Camille said somewhat displeased, "Why do you keep rejecting me?Have our feelings changed after spending time together, and you'retrying to distance yourself from me?"

Sienna pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "You have quite animagination. No, I haven't changed at all, so don't overthink it. I promiseI'll be in front of you by the time you open your eyes tomorrow, okay?"Then she quickly turned to Ayan and said, "Mr. Simpson, please helpme persuade your wife. She's clinging to me too much.”

Camille grumbled, and Ayan smiled helplessly, raising his hand togently rest on her waist as he softly advised, "Sienna has already saidthat. Are you going to grant her wish? Besides, she has been with us allday, and she probably has work to handle at night, right?"

Camille fell silent at that, and Sienna couldn't help but sigh, "It seemsMr. Simpson's words have more influence."

Camille rolled her eyes but didn't say anything.

After seeing Sienna off in the car, Camille and Ayan entered the hoteland took the elevator upstairs.

Once they were back in their room, Camille said to Ayan, "I'm not reallyclingy to her. It's just that I'm worried about her mood after meetingMario."

Ayan gently caressed her hair and replied in a low voice, “I know, butsince Sienna has been in Flento for so long, she knows how to handleMario. So there's no need to worry, okay?"

Camille nodded and then went to take a shower.

During Camille's shower, Ayan dialed Sienna's number directly.
