"Sure, just let Kian know once you've made up your mind," Ayan said without any pressure, as if what he'd just mentioned was something insignificant and unimportant.
Eileen was increasingly uncertain, but she could only nod and reply, "Alright."
Ayan no longer looked at her, lowering his gaze to the documents in front of him, engrossed in work. He hadn't been at Simpson Group for two days, so there was plenty to catch up on.
With a lack of warmth, he said, "You're free to go now."
Eileen hesitated, her face displaying a hint of discomfort. She didn't want to leave so soon, especially after coming all this way. It would feel like a wasted opportunity.
She took a step forward, gazing at Ayan. "Ayan, I..."
"Is there something else?" Ayan raised his indifferent eyes to give her a brief, cold glance.
Eileen was taken aback and shook her head. "No, nothing."
She dared not voice her true thoughts.
Eileen couldn't recall the exact sequence of events that led her out of the office, but Kian personally escorted her to the elevator.
As soon as Eileen left Simpson Group, she immediately dialed Preston's number and informed him of the recent developments.
Upon hearing the news, Preston expressed his surprise and astonishment. "He wants to set up a studio for you with his money?"
"Yes, that's what he said."
"Did you agree to it?"
"I told him I needed to think it over. I don't know his intentions, and I have to be cautious."
Eileen's heart was actually swayed by the offer, but she couldn't reveal this to Preston. While she and Preston had a longstanding cooperation, she had also witnessed Preston's selfish side. She had to consider her own interests because Preston's current life was far from enviable.
Eileen's private feelings were something she couldn't afford to share. Hence, she didn't hesitate to tell Preston, "I'm committed to honesty in our relationship. After everything we've been through, I hope we can trust each other. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said I needed time to consider and would inform you later."
Preston's skepticism couldn't be concealed. At this moment, he was already contemplating the opportunities that had arisen. If Ayan was willingly offering this, he couldn't let it slip through his fingers.
Preston squinted, his expression turning icy. He said, "Since he initiated the offer, just accept it. After all, there's no harm to you, right?"
Eileen wasn't entirely convinced and asked, "Are you really okay with me agreeing?"
"Why wouldn't I be? Ayan's giving us money, and there's no reason not to accept it, right?" Preston smiled, adding, "This might provide an opportunity to exploit his offer. He and Camille have been getting along for far too long. If things continue this way, their relationship will only grow stronger."
With his scheming mind, Preston revealed a hint of cold calculation on his face.
His intentions were impossible for Eileen to fathom. Since he had given the green light, she no longer needed to keep anything from him.
After their conversation, Preston remained far from idle.
