Ayan said, "I want to see when you'll tell the truth."
Camille fell silent this time, lightly pursing her lips without any response for quite a while. However, their gazes remained locked, and they continued this way without much reaction.
It lasted for who knew how many minutes until Camille finally yielded to Ayan's intense gaze. She confessed about the online incident. The more Ayan listened, the darker his expression became. He asked, "Does Kian know about this?"
Camille was slightly startled, then explained, "Yes, I told Kian not to tell you. I thought I could handle it. As you can see, now that I've proven my innocence, the other party dares not make a sound."
"So now you're also bribing people around me? It seems I have no say at all!"
His words were full of jokes, but there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Camille asked, "Are you dissatisfied with my actions? I'm sorry; I never thought of influencing Kian's decision. I just asked Kian not to tell you temporarily. I didn't want to disturb your work or let these trivial matters affect your mood."
Camille explained each word clearly, but Ayan retorted, "Do you think I care about that?!"
Camille pursed her lips, silent, watching Ayan's displeased expression. She didn't know what to say.
The two locked eyes, each hiding their own guesses and thoughts beneath their gaze.
After an unknown amount of time passed, Ayan spoke again, "You may think these are insignificant matters, not important at all. But everything related to you is important to me. Do you understand?"
Camille understood Ayan's words, nodded slightly, and said, "I know what you mean. I just..."
"Do you think the other side has no action now because they really can't provide enough evidence against your self-proclaimed innocence? This is just a kind of public relations tactic. Right now, you've exposed all the evidence you should. So, no matter what the other side brings out next, you won't be able to refute it because you've already shown all your cards, haven't you?"
Ayan seriously analyzed the importance of this matter to them. Even though it seemed advantageous at the moment, the reality might be different.
Everything had a turning point. Since the other party dared to spread rumors and distort their relationship in this suggestive way, they must have come prepared.
After hearing Ayan's analysis, Camille, who initially felt very confident, suddenly became uneasy.
She looked at Ayan and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Don't do anything."
"Do nothing?"
"Yes, do nothing. Keep those photos for now. See if the other party has anything else to reveal!"
Camille nodded slightly, and this topic was temporarily put on hold.
Although the appearance of this incident made the atmosphere a bit tense, it wasn't an inherent conflict between them, so the emotions were only temporary. After the waiter served the dishes, their relationship returned to normal.
Ayan attentively took care of Camille while they ate. They chatted, touching on the design competition and Camille mentioned the incident with Crystal earlier that day.
Ayan, with an unchanged expression, asked, "Do you have any opinions about her, compared to Sienna?"
