My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178: Risks

Kian also nodded slightly, but he still had some concerns in his heart. He asked Ayan, "So, Mr. Simpson, you trust Horace unconditionally?"

Ayan squinted his eyes at Kian, his expression filled with intensity. Kian immediately lowered his head and said, "I apologize, Mr. Simpson. I was just..."

"I understand your concerns, but Horace is worthy of trust. If he can put so much effort into planning with Grace, it's unlikely that he will easily have second thoughts. Even if he does, it doesn't have much to do with us. After all, he is currently collaborating with Simpson Group. If he truly harms Simpson Group, it won't be beneficial for him either. The most stable relationship in the business world is based on mutual interests."

Ayan had no worries or doubts that Horace would betray him. After all, there was no need to suspect someone who had proven their loyalty. If someone appeared overly loyal, it could actually raise some questions.

Kian nodded along, understanding Ayan's thoughts and plans.

Ayan instructed Kian, "Keep an eye on Preston. Once Horace secures the museum project, Preston will definitely become desperate."

"Is Mr. Simpson worried that he might do something excessive?"

"Not worried, just cautious. Because this person is capable of anything, we need to have control over all his actions. Only then can we be prepared and not caught off guard."

"I understand, Mr. Simpson. Rest assured, I will keep an eye on Preston."

"Good, go ahead!"

Kian nodded and then left the office.

After Kian left the office, Ayan picked up his phone and sent a message to Camille. He invited her to have dinner together outside. Although they had been spending almost every day together recently, mostly for work, Ayan was in a good mood today and wanted to have some private time with Camille, without being disturbed by Sienna and Rex.

Camille replied promptly, agreeing to the dinner.

After arranging the dinner plans, Ayan continued his work.

Perhaps because of his good mood, his productivity today was even higher than usual, which was already quite high to begin with.

In the evening, Ayan took Camille to their usual place, Darkmoor, for dinner. Since it was just the two of them, Camille didn't want to dine in a private room. They found a cozy seat near the window.

After placing their orders, the waiter left, and Camille rested her chin on her hand as she looked at Ayan and asked, "Tell me, what's making you so happy? Can't you share it with me?"

"Is my happiness that obvious?" Ayan leaned slightly towards her, the gentle smile in his eyes clearly visible. A faint smile appeared on his thin lips as he said, "It seems like I'm not disguising it well enough!"

"Why do you need to disguise it? Is there something happy that you can't share with me?"

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes, I want to know."

"Want to know? Well, you have to promise me something, hmm?" Ayan's eyes carried a tempting look, indicating that he had some mischievous intentions.

Camille pursed her lips and indifferently said, "Never mind, don't tell me. I don't want to know. Let's just eat!"

After Camille spoke, she put down her hand supporting her chin and sat upright, creating some distance between her and Ayan. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Ayan with cold eyes. Her gaze seemed to say, "I won't ask, and I won't let you have your way."

The two of them locked eyes, maintaining their gaze for half a minute. Then Ayan's voice resounded again as he said, "You're giving up just like that? You don't want to know about something that makes me happy?"

"It's not something that makes me happy, so I don't really want to know," she rejected, shaking her head.

Now it was Ayan who became anxious. He reached out his hand towards Camille, gesturing for her to give him her hand. Camille complied, and he held her hand, his voice still gentle as he said, "I set a trap for Preston, and he fell into it. It's probably difficult for him to move freely in Armstrong Corp now."
