    Chapter 1478: Negotiation


    Camille''s idea was simple - to discuss the project with Simpson Group. This meant that a


    professional identity was appropriate, as she wasn''t the only one vying for the position; there were


    many other designers as well.


    After Camille asked this question, Ayan fell into a brief silence, seemingly caught off guard by her


    query.


    He smiled faintly, "In what capacity do you wish to coborate?"


    "Of course, in a coborative capacity. I am thepany''s chairperson." Even though herpany


    was small, its profits were substantial,parable to somergerpanies. Camille felt no sense


    of inadequacy as she spoke.


    Ayan replied, "Alright, whichever capacity you prefer is eptable, alright?"


    "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Simpson. I will head over shortly." Camille quickly responded.


    She needed to inform Sienna about going to Simpson Group to talk to Ayan about coboration. For


    the sake of work, she also brought Yessica along. Although thepany was small, having a


    complete set of resources was necessary.


    After a brief preparation, the two set off for Simpson Group.


    Upon arrival, Kian was already waiting downstairs. When he saw Camille and Yessica together, he


    was taken aback.


    Were they here to deceive him and Mr. Simpson?


    Kian thought to himself, but maintained a serious demeanor as he approached Camille. "Secretary


    Armstrong," he addressed her before politely nodding at Yessica.


    In their momentary eye contact, it was the first time Camille had seen Kian look so serious, and she


    felt a bit uneasy. But it was for the best, a reminder that this was a professional meeting.

    Kian led the two into the elevator. Yessica stood beside Kian, reaching out to gently touch his hand.


    Even though Kian remainedposed, his heart was in turmoil.


    The elevator ride was brief, but to Kian, it felt endless.


    This lingering sensation seemed to stretch on indefinitely, until the elevator doors finally opened.


    Camille was the first to step out, and Yessica, after sharing a mischievous nce with Kian,


    followed suit. Kian, feeling somewhat helpless, looked at Yessica with affection before also exiting


    the elevator.


    This was Yessica''s first visit to Simpson Group and her first time seeing Kian there.


    She and Kian were at the stage of discussing marriage and had already met each other''s parents.


    They had set a date for the engagement, and their rtionship was one of great love and mutual


    change for the better.


    Two minutester, the three of them arrived at Ayan''s office.


    Kian spoke officially, "Mr. Simpson, Secretary Armstrong and her secretary have arrived."


    Ayan looked up with a faint gaze,cking warmth or any particr temperature.


    He calmly observed Camille and Yessica before rising from his desk. "Please, have a seat."


    Camille had seen men act professionally enough not to be surprised by his distant and cold


    demeanor while working.


    But the two of them sitting on the sofa were not as intimate as before – only a sense of businesslike


    detachment remained.


    Yessica standing by also felt the tension. She was grateful to know that Camille and Ayan were


    married, as working with him otherwise would have been nerve-wracking.


    Compared to Yessica''s nerves, Camille was much calmer.


    She looked at the man before her, softly expressing her intentions.


    After her words, Ayan replied in a gentle tone, "As far as I know, Secretary Armstrong''spany


    has always been responsible for major projects alone. So, if we were to coborate, would you be


    able to dedicate all your time to Simpson Group?"


    "Of course."


    "Meaning you won''t take on any other projects?"


    "Mr. Simpson, you misunderstand. I won''t personally oversee other projects, but mypany won''t


    reject all other projects just because I''m working with Simpson Group."


    Their eyes met.


    Ayan nodded slightly in understanding.


    Then, he calmly said, "Does Secretary Armstrong have a preliminary idea for this coboration?"


    "I have a simple n. Mr. Simpson, please give us some professional advice if you can." Camille


    followed, extending a hand to Yessica, who quickly handed over the n for Camille to pass on to


    Ayan.


    Ayan took the n and gave a faint smile, a touch of tenderness in his expression. After giving


    Camille a deep look, he spoke softly, "Secretary Armstrong is well-prepared for this, it seems."


    "Rare to see Mr. Simpson. Of course, I had to be well-prepared," Camille added.


    Camille continued, "Mr. Simpson, could you provide us with some professional advice? We will


    definitely cooperate to the fullest."


    cing the n on the table, Ayan''s action surprised Camille, causing her to look at him with a hint


    of curiosity.


    Ayan calmly said, "No rush."


    Three words, devoid of any emotion.


    Camille''s eyes widened, a hint of confusion in her voice as she asked, "Aren''t you going to look at


    it?"


    "In what capacity should I review it?" Ayan looked at Camille, repeating the same question she had


    asked earlier. He said, "If I were to review this n as the President of Simpson Group, I''m afraid I


    wouldn''t. I have reviewed ns rted to cooperation that are worth tens of millions. Otherwise,


    there''s no need for me to review them. But if I were to review it as your husband, then I''d look at it


    now."


    Ayan looked at Camille calmly, a faint smile ying at the corners of his lips. "So, have you made


    up your mind? In what capacity do you want me to review this n?"


    This time, it was Camille who was at a loss.


    She looked at Ayan, biting her lip. "Are you asking me to choose?"


    "Yes, I am asking you to choose."


    Camille realized that he was doing this deliberately.


    Yessica and Kian exchanged a nce, both realizing the situation. Kian''s inner voice echoed, "The


    President is just trying to please his beloved wife, and we have to y along."


    Taking a deep breath in silence, Camille finally spoke, "Yessica, negotiate the timing for our future


    coboration with Kian."


    "Okay."


    With that, she took Kian''s arm and left the office, closing the door behind them, creating a moment


    of quiet between Camille and Ayan.


    Camille remained seated, a smile on her face as she looked at Ayan. "Mr. Simpson, would you like


    to take a look at the n now?"


    She made no move to push the matter further, instead waiting for him to take the lead.
