    Chapter 1247: Guilty Conscience


    The next second after the beep, the call was answered. Sienna asked casually, "What''s up? Have you


    started missing me the moment I left?"


    Camille chuckled, "Yes, whatever you say."


    "Don''t be cheeky. What''s the matter?"


    "I have something to tell you."


    "Yeah, what is it?"


    Camille pursed her lips slightly and said with a serious tone, "Ayan just told me that we can take on this


    project."


    "What project?"


    "The one we''re coborating on with Nores Group and Mario," Camille exined.


    Sienna''s reaction wasn''t too excited; she simply said, "Okay."


    "That''s it? Don''t you have anything else to say?" Camille furrowed her brows slightly, worried about


    Mario''s mood. She asked, "Don''t you have any objections?"


    "Not really, because it''s work, right? It benefits us, and we can make a good profit from it. Plus, I''m sure


    I''ll be rewarded handsomely. So, I don''t have any objections. I think it''s great," Sienna replied in a calm


    tone.


    "Is that the truth?"


    "Do you think I would lie to you?" Sienna smiled indifferently and said, "Don''t overthink it. I''m being


    sincere. This project is significant for us. Once we secure it, you can truly hand over thepany to


    Yessica to manage, and you can take a break for a while."


    "Yeah, that''s what I''m thinking too. But I want to make sure that your thoughts align with mine. If you


    have any concerns, please tell me directly, okay?" Camille wouldn''t let a project create any rift or


    unhappiness between her and Sienna. In fact, many things became unimportant once they reached


    this level of rtionship. What mattered most was their bond.


    Sienna assured Camille multiple times that she would directlymunicate any difort, and only


    then did Camille feel at ease.


    After finishing the conversation with Sienna, Camille continued preparing the necessary materials for


    the project. She also contacted Kian to obtain detailed information about it. She wanted to have a good


    understanding so that she wouldn''t be caught off guard when she actually started working on it.


    While Camille was busy with these tasks, thendline phone in her office suddenly rang.

    In truth, it was rare for anyone to call thendline because thepany rarely used it. If there was any


    internal matter, people woulde directly to the office, or they would contact Sienna or Yessica on


    their mobile phones.


    So Camille was slightly surprised when she heard the ringing of the telephone. She pursed her lips and


    furrowed her brows slightly before picking up the receiver in a calm manner. She asked in a low voice,


    "Hello, who is this?"


    There was no immediate response from the other end of the line, but Camille could only confirm that


    there was breathing, not too heavy.


    Camille felt something was off, and she had a slight suspicion in her heart. She asked calmly, "Are you


    there? Who is this?"


    Still, there was no response, which made Camille lose her patience. She said indifferently, "If you don''t


    speak, I''ll hang up, alright?"


    After finishing her statement, Camille didn''t want to continue waiting. Since there was no response, it


    seemed intentional. Why call and not say anything?


    Camille''s expression turned extremely cold, and she was about to end the call directly. However, just as


    she was about to remove the receiver, a voice came from the other end, saying, "It''s me, Cami."


    Camille had already guessed it because besides him, there didn''t seem to be anyone else who would


    do such a thing.


    But Camille didn''t immediately speak; she remained silent, waiting for him to continue. He said, "Cami,


    is it convenient to talk now? I want to chat with you!"


    "What''s the matter? Speak!" Her tone was cold, and her facial expression remained indifferent.


    Preston''s voice sounded again, and he said, "Cami, so many things have happened recently. I''m sure


    Ayan doesn''t allow you to contact me, right? I know you have some grievances towards me, but I can


    assure you I have never done anything to hurt you, nor have I ever thought of harming you."


    Camille asked calmly, "So, is the reason for this call to seek my forgiveness? Or do you hope that I


    won''t misunderstand you?"


    Preston was slightly taken aback, not expecting Camille to be this direct. In fact, he made this call


    simply to test Camille, trying to get some information from her. But based on their previous


    conversations, Camille seemed to have sealed her lips tightly.


    Naturally, he believed that it was Ayan''s doing. Ayan was the one who caused Camille to be like


    this and instructed her not to have much contact with him. Because Camille loved Ayan, she followed


    his everymand.


    Preston shifted all the me onto Ayan in his heart, but he maintained hisposure when dealing


    with Camille. He said, "Cami, I just want to tell you that I haven''t done anything to hurt you. I don''t want


    you to have any misunderstandings because of this. These days, I''ve been hiding like a rat that can''t


    stand the light. I don''t know what I did to offend Ayan. Why does he treat me like this?" Read at

    Camille took a deep breath, her face filled with a cold and distant smile. She continued, "No matter


    what you''ve done, I keep telling myself to be more tolerant of you, little by little. But each time I tolerate


    you, you take more and more advantage of it. Doesn''t it seem meaningless like this?"
