My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1182

Chapter 1182: Apology

After a brief gaze, Preston's voice followed, saying, "Mr. Burris, you're making me feel like an outsider. Although I was arranged by Mr. Armstrong to join the company, I understand very well who is in charge of Armstrong Corp at the moment. Originally, I wanted to discuss the meeting's content with Mr. Burris in advance, but the museum called and rushed me. Additionally, since I have had little interaction with Mr. Burris, I was concerned that you might have a certain opinion of me after I confessed. After all, I haven't contributed much to Armstrong Corp since I arrived, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to start demanding things."

Horace maintained his indifferent demeanor as he looked at Preston. How could Camille not perceive the hidden implications in his words?

Without changing his expression or showing much emotion, Horace asked, "So, Mr. Walker, what do you want to tell me now? Are you here to express your apologies?"

Horace, of course, wouldn't follow Preston's line of thinking to guess and assume. On the contrary, he went against Preston's purpose for coming today, deliberately acting ignorant and pretending not to know Preston's intentions.

This questioning made Preston quite anxious, but he couldn't show too much of it. He could only go along with Horace's words and say, "Well, today I did want to apologize to Mr. Burris. Previously, due to some rumors and misleading information, I doubted Mr. Burris' abilities, thinking they weren't as remarkable as I see them now. So, I had some doubts about Mr. Burris' approach to handling things. But after this experience, I realized I should only believe what I see with my own eyes and not blindly trust rumors."

Horace's eyebrows slightly furrowed, clearly displaying a change in expression that Preston naturally caught on to.

He continued, "Mr. Burris, I didn't mean anything else. I was just speaking honestly. I deeply admire people who are efficient in their work and have capabilities. This time, Mr. Burris, you have impressed me, so I sincerely want to apologize."

"Mr. Walker, there's no need to be so polite. It was just a trivial matter. Your serious and formal approach actually makes me a bit embarrassed." Horace's fingertips lightly tapped on the desk, his handsome face revealing deep emotions. Preston wanted to delve into what Horace was truly thinking at the moment.

However, Horace was always composed and calm, no matter the time or place, making it truly difficult for anyone to see through him.

Therefore, Preston's face was somewhat unpleasant, but he didn't dare to show too much displeasure in front of Horace. He could only cover it up with a smile and said, "I believe that honesty is necessary in our work. I think Mr. Burris understands the meaning behind my honesty today, right?"

"Naturally. But what I'm curious about is, wasn't Mr. Walker arranged to join the company by Mr. Armstrong? So why didn't Mr. Walker directly approach Mr. Armstrong to clarify things? I believe that with Mr. Armstrong's trust in Mr. Walker, he would provide endless support." Horace smiled lightly, clearly indicating his intention to get to the bottom of this matter.

However, Preston deliberately evaded and said, "Mr. Burris, the matter is already in the past. There's no need to bring it up again. As long as I understand the kind of person Mr. Burris is in my eyes, it's enough. As for the misleading by others, I don't think it's important anymore."

"That's true. Since Mr. Walker feels that way, let others say whatever they want!"

"Yes." Preston smiled faintly and continued, "Mr. Burris, I have another matter to discuss."

"Go ahead." Horace looked at Preston, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Preston said, "Mr. Burris, now that you're cooperating with Simpson Group, I assume your focus will be on the collaboration with them. In that case, I can take charge of the museum project. Although the museum requires me to be promoted to continue the collaboration, I believe that since Mr. Burris has secured the project with Simpson Group, the museum won't say much. This way, Armstrong Corp can secure another project. So, I hope to have Mr. Burris' support."

"What kind of support do you want?"

"I don't need Mr. Burris to do anything specific. I'm just a small project manager for now. I hope Mr. Burris can publicly acknowledge that I'm also a part of the project with Simpson Group. That's all, is that okay?"
