    Chapter 1143: Guess


    After Camille''s words, her eyes naturally turned to Sienna. Sienna thought for a moment, then said


    calmly, "I think, maybe you don''t need to? It felt a bit awkward when she came to care about you.


    Honestly, I still don''t quite understand why she wanted to care about you."


    "I don''t really understand either. So, for things we can''t figure out, should we just stop thinking about


    them?" Camille responded, her expression slightly troubled.


    The two exchanged a nce, and Sienna suddenly whispered, "Why don''t you go and give her some


    encouragement? After all, we shouldn''t let people say we''re petty, right? It''s just a few words, nothing


    extraordinary."


    Camille nodded gently, uttered a low "hm," and followed Sienna''s suggestion.


    Camille left the office and went to Crystal''s lounge. Since she didn''t know where Crystal''s lounge was,


    she had to ask Kian.


    Kian had to check, but he quickly provided her with the information.


    Camille arrived at the door of Crystal''s lounge. Instead of immediately knocking, she took a deep


    breath before raising her hand to tap on the door.


    Crystal''s assistant opened the door, apparently recognizing Camille and aware of her acquaintance


    with Crystal. The assistant''s expression softened into a gentle smile, "Hello, Mr. Armstrong!"


    After saying that, she immediately turned back to Crystal in the lounge, "Mr. Armstrong is here."


    Crystal appeared at the lounge door the next second. She quickly greeted Camille, "Come in and have


    a seat!"


    Extending her hand to pull Camille inside, Crystal and Camille were not particrly close friends. They


    had only met a few times, and due to the previous assistant recruitment, Crystal had some


    understanding of Camille. Their rtionship shouldn''t be this intimate. Yet, in Crystal''s eyes, it seemed


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    like they were very familiar friends. Crystal was overly affectionate towards Camille, raising more


    questions in Camille''s mind. If it were someone else, Camille might have thought the person had


    ulterior motives. However, with Crystal, although Camille had simr thoughts initially, sheter


    wondered if Crystal genuinely liked her, exining her sincere treatment.


    While Camille pondered, Crystal had already pulled her into the lounge and sat her down.


    Crystal got a cup of coffee for Camille, saying, "I just bought it. Haven''t had a sip yet."


    Camille reached out to take it, offering a faint smile, "Thank you."


    Crystal said, "No need to be polite. We''re friends, right? Friends don''t need such formalities, do they?"


    Camille nodded gently, "Yes, you''re right."


    Having said that, Crystal''s face instantly lit up with a smile, seemingly happy that Camille spoke this


    way.


    In the lounge, besides the two chatting on the sofa, others were busy with their own tasks and hadn''t


    noticed this side of the room.


    Camille then went straight to the point, asking, "How do you feel about thepetition?"


    Instead of answering, Crystal asked back, "Are you concerned about mypetition this time?"


    Camille nodded slightly, admitting it.


    Crystal said, "I think it went well. But, as always, it depends on what the judges say, right? By the way,


    how is the designer from Shai? Did they do well?"


    Camille replied, "They did quite well."


    Crystal smiled, "I think it''s more than just ''quite well,'' isn''t it?"


    Camille chuckled, tacitly agreeing.


    They exchanged a nce, and Crystal maintained a constant smile on her face. Camille suddenly felt


    that Crystal''s face was strangely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. This thought had


    urred to her briefly before, but she hadn''t delved into it. Within a few hours, the idea resurfaced, and


    Camille found it somewhat unbelievable.


    Camille stared at Crystal without blinking, prompting Crystal to ask in surprise, "What''s wrong? Why


    are you looking at me like that?"


    Camille silently took a deep breath and said, "I feel like I''ve seen you somewhere before."


    Crystal was also slightly stunned by Camille''s words. Her eyes showed a clear change in expression as


    she asked in a low voice, "Seen me before? Do you have someone you know who looks like me?"


    Camille shook her head gently, saying, "No, maybe I''m mistaken."


    Camille didn''t borate further, just shifted the topic lightly, saying, "Thepetition is probably about


    to end. I won''t go find Sienna now. Good luck to you!"


    Crystal nodded and said, "Thank you. I''ll do my best."


    "Alright." Camille nodded as well, then got up and left the lounge.


    Watching Camille leave, Crystal''s face showed a hint of disappointment. Her assistant noticed and


    asked involuntarily, "What''s wrong?"


    Crystal shook her head slightly and said, "Nothing."


    The assistant didn''t understand Crystal''s thoughts and casually remarked, "I think you seem to really


    like Mr. Armstrong!"


    Crystal didn''t deny it at all. She said, "Yes, I really like her. She''s wonderful."


    The assistant just nodded without thinking much.


    Half an hourter, all the designers'' works were presented. After the judges scored, thirty designers


    finally entered the preliminary round, including Sienna and Crystal.


    Sienna''s entry into the preliminary round was a sure thing. Camille had never worried about it because


    Sienna''s style and foundation were there. She was an experienced designer with many years of work,


    even though she had been away from this field for a long time. Sienna might feel nervous, worried, and


    wanted to design.


    What surprised Camille was that Crystal''s work was also outstanding. She received high scores from


    the judges, indicating that she was not just a student from a design institute. Her foundation seemed to


    go beyond what could be achieved in two or three years. There might be someone guiding her behind


    the scenes, but Crystal hadn''t revealed it.


    However, Camille knew that it had nothing to do with her, and she just thought about it in her heart.


    Thepetition ended around eleven in the morning. Camille and Sienna packed up and went to the


    parking lot with their three assistants. When they arrived at the parking lot, they coincidentally met


    Ayan and, surprisingly, Crystal.


    Perhaps because she saw Camille and Sienna had also arrived, Crystal didn''t look back but


    immediately headed straight to her car. She got in and left.


    Witnessing this scene, Camille and Sienna exchanged a nce. Sienna asked, "Do they know each


    other?"


    Camille didn''t react much, just staring silently at the man in front of her, her face showing a thoughtful


    expression. Many thoughts and spections had overflowed in her mind.


    But in the end, she didn''t know which one was true.
