My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179: Stuck

"Mhmm, you're right," Ayan nodded in agreement.

Their gazes locked onto each other, and in that moment, there was only each other in their eyes, no one else.

Suddenly, a proud woman's voice came from a few meters away, "Mr. Simpson, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to have such a fate with Mr. Simpson. Our Nores Group just collaborated with Mr. Simpson, and now we meet here!"

Alicia wore a red V-neck dress that accentuated her sensual figure. She was well-suited for bold makeup, and her fiery red lips made her incredibly enticing.

She had a great body and was dressed quite daringly, but in front of the composed Camille, she seemed a bit overly flamboyant.

Camille had a simple and natural daily makeup, with light-colored lipstick. However, her well-defined and beautiful features were enough to outshine many others even without any makeup.

Alicia had seen her photos a long time ago and thought she was pretty. Later, she encountered Camille once in Ayan's office at Simpson Group, and on that occasion, she found Camille even more beautiful than in the photos. That's why she dressed up specifically today, aiming to outshine Camille.

But at this moment, Camille sat there without any intention to compete. Instead, she just raised her gaze and gave Alicia a cold, indifferent look, as if she were looking at someone completely unimportant.

This made Alicia feel like she had thrown a heavy punch at a soft cushion, receiving no response. She felt extremely displeased.

She pursed her lips and shifted her gaze back to Ayan. He didn't respond to her words, and naturally, Camille wouldn't speak either, resulting in a very cold and silent atmosphere.

Alicia also realized Ayan's indifference and coldness towards her. Her expression showed a hint of dissatisfaction, but she quickly returned to her usual demeanor and flashed a faint indifferent smile. She said, "Mr. Simpson, my father entrusted this project to me, so I will be working with Simpson Group from now on. I am very familiar with all the issues regarding this piece of land."

Camille still displayed no additional expression changes and continued eating her food without uttering a word.

Ayan, on the other hand, showed a hint of displeasure. He glanced indifferently at Alicia and coldly said, "Miss Nores, even if Simpson Group is collaborating with Nores Group on a project, this is my private time, and I don't want to discuss any work-related matters. Can't you see that my Mrs. Simpson and I are having a meal?"

Ayan's words were very direct, offering Alicia absolutely no face or respect.

Such directness instantly stiffened Alicia's face. She stood there blankly, and her eyes immediately welled up with a reddish hue. She tightly pursed her lips and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Mr. Simpson, I didn't mean anything by it. It was just a coincidence, so I came over to say hello. I didn't intend to disturb you and your Mrs. Simpson's meal. If it has caused you any trouble, then I apologize!"

After Alicia finished speaking, she looked at Ayan once again, but he didn't react at all. He clearly ignored her words.

Alicia couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly bid farewell and turned to leave.

Alicia was somewhat displeased, especially with Camille's lack of response. It made her feel defeated.

She had always been a very proud person, and no one had ever treated her with such indifference.

She became more and more interested in Camille and wondered what kind of thing could provoke Camille's emotions. After Alicia left, Camille still showed no attitude, and Ayan's gaze remained fixed on her as if he could see through her.

After finishing half a bowl of rice, Camille leisurely raised her head to meet Ayan's gaze. She calmly asked, "Why are you staring at me? The food is getting cold. Aren't you going to eat?"

"I was just enjoying watching you eat."

"The food tastes good, and it's a dish I like, so it's delicious!"

"So, you weren't affected at all?" His question sounded somewhat amusing, as if he felt a bit wronged.

Camille was also taken aback, then smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"
