Chapter 1145
Because Ayan had worked up a sweat walking, he went to freshen up as soon as he got back. Camille
was downstairs watching TV, waiting for confirmation of the departure time for dinner with Sienna. She
heard about the parking lot designpetition and hadn''t had a chance to ask Ayan yet. So she went
straight upstairs and found Ayan justing out of the shower. Their eyes met, but Camille felt shy and
looked away. Ayan noticed this and chuckled, "Embarrassed? It''s all yours, what are you afraid of?"
Camille frowned and said, "Be serious, I have something to ask you."
"Okay, go ahead."
Camille asked in a calm tone,"Are you close with Crystal?"
Ayan shook his head,"Not really close but I know her. After you told me about her earlier today I had
Kian look into her background information then she showed up at the designpetition today while
we were waiting for you so she greeted me when she saw me there but what about you two? Are you
close? She said that you cheered her on which made her feel happy!"
Camille blinked lightly and caught a hint of jealousy in his words.
"We''re both girls after all," Camille replied,"There was also some misunderstanding because of my
assistant before so when she saw those rumors online she immediately showed concern for me so I
thought it would be nice if I responded by cheering her on too."
Camille gave a simple response.
Ayan nodded along saying,"Since your willing to respond like that it seems like your decision is that
shes not bad enough to be friends with right?"
"I don''t know," Camile said honestly,"I just feel like she is overly enthusiastic which makes it hard to
refuse."
Ayan could tell from her hesitation that there was an inner conflict within herself but some things were
destined; they couldn''t be stopped or resisted.
"It''s not really an issue being friends with someone who makes us happy," Ayan stated calmly,"As long
as we enjoy ourselves then other things shouldn''t matter right?"
"Yeah…" Camile agreed softly.
Afterwards, Camile didn''t press further into asking when he would talk more with Crystal even though
they investigated Crystal before; even if Sienna ran into him again, Ayaan wouldn''t say more than half
a word about their conversation together.
Ayan''s personality was such that he would never say a word more than necessary, especially when
there was no benefit or relevance to him. But Camille, at the moment, had no awareness and no
intention of thinking any further about it.
After the topic had ended, the two of them tidied up and were ready to go out for dinner. It wasn''t just
the four of them; there were also employees from theirpany.
This was also the first time thatpany employees had eaten with people like Ayan and Rex.
Although they already knew about Camille''s rtionship with Ayan and Sienna''s rtionship with Rex,
they all had a strict character when it came to not prying into others'' private lives. This was mainly why
Camille had been able to work with them for so long.
Sienna reserved arge private room where everyone could sing karaoke or y games together
without feeling awkward or bored.
Camille and Sienna took care of their colleagues while Ayan and Rex took care of themselves as family
members. And oh yes, Camille and Sienna invited Kian too!
As guests invited by Camille and Sienna, they naturally said to both men: "Take care of Kian."
Kian couldn''t believe his ears! He felt like he''d hit the jackpot being taken care of by these two big
shots! He quickly stood up saying: "Mr Simpson, Mr King I don''t need any special treatment."
But before he could do anything else Ayan reached out his hand snatching away Kian''s teapot saying
in a calm voice: "When your boss tells you something you can''t refuse right? Today you will enjoy
yourself as our guest!"
He personally poured tea for Kian pushing it towards him saying gently: "Kian, please drink some tea!"
Kian felt like if he drank this cup then his job security would be gone but if he didn''t then it wouldn''t
make much difference either way - so might as well drink it! At leastter on he could brag about
drinking tea served by Mr Simpson himself!
Trembling slightly in fear Kian lifted up his teacup taking a sip before whispering softly: "Thank you Mr
Simpson."
Rex couldn''t help butugh seeing how nervous Kain looked: "Don''t be shy now Kain - since you''re our
guest today we want you to enjoy yourself!"
Rex had just finished speaking when Ayan let out a cold sneer and a dismissiveugh. He said, "So
Sienna isn''t the one participating in thepetition today? It has nothing to do with you, right? Then I
think it''s time to notify Mario. He would be more than happy to entertain guests on your behalf."
Ayan always spoke with a sharp tongue, especially when it came to Rex. Some of his words were
enough to leave Rex speechless because he was no match for him.
Rex looked at Ayan helplessly and could only say to Kian, "Kian, if you ask me, working under this kind
of boss will slowly turn you into someone with a bad temper like him. No woman would like that. So
why don''t youe work for me instead? We can negotiatepensation freely."
Kian never thought he would be so popr one day but he could only admire Rex in his heart
without showing any expression on his face and kept quiet.
Fortunately, Rex didn''t continue harassing Kian and Ayan didn''t pay attention either.
The three of them stopped thinking about their own thoughts and returned their focus back on business
matters.
Ayan asked in a calm tone,"What''s your n with Mario?"
This question was naturally directed towards Rex.
He sighed heavily before saying,"What else can we do? Since he arrived in Hance City after eating
dinner at The Ward''s mansionst time we haven''t seen him around much. What do you think he
means by that?"
Rex looked at Ayan and asked,"Didn''t he start coborating with you already?"
"Starting coboration is not the same as working together; it''s just cooperation for now. Besides, the
Jiang family hasn''t officially started yet so we still have some days left until then; probably when the
designerpetition enters its final stage." replied Ayan calmly before turning his gaze towards Kian
asking,"What has Mario been up totely?"
Kian immediately answered,"He''s looking for an office space."

After all if Mario wanted to develop his business in Hance City then naturally they needed an office
space too.
Kian continued saying, "Mr. Simpson there is something else I found out today too - Preston
approached Mario before our coboration but got rejected by him. They seemed not very pleased
talking about it."
A deep look appeared on Ayan''s eyes as they narrowed slightly while responding calmly, "As long as
he doesn''t coborate with Preston, everything should be fine."
