After finishing the glass of juice, Camille proactively spoke to Preston, saying, "Preston, thank you for telling me all this. I understand now. I have an appointment with Sienna, so let's finish here for today!"
As Camille finished speaking, she stood up, taking the initiative to pay the bill this time. After all, someone had come for her sake, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to treat her.
Camille paid the bill and didn't give Preston a chance to say more. She left without further conversation.
Preston didn't stop her; he just sat in his seat, watching her leave with an unpleasant expression on his face.
Camille took the elevator back to the office, where Sienna was waiting for her. She hadn't been gone for more than an hour, about forty minutes at most. So Sienna was a little surprised when she saw Camille returning so soon and asked, "Is the conversation already over?"
Camille nodded and walked to her desk, picking up her water cup and drinking half of it before placing it down silently, sighing softly.
Sienna asked, "What did you talk about? You don't look too good. Did he try to brainwash you again and pursue you?"
Camille shook her head, her tiredness still evident on her face.
Sienna stared at Camille, a bit puzzled by her silence. Camille remained silent for a short while before speaking, "He told me that the online rumors are related to Eileen, and Eileen and Ayan are still in close contact. He has a recorded conversation with Eileen."
Sienna understood what Camille meant and expressed her displeasure. She said, "Do you believe it?"
"What do you think?"
"You didn't actually believe it, did you? You know who Preston is, don't you?" Sienna sat up straight, looking at Camille with seriousness. She said indifferently, "Camille, let me tell you, Ayan treats you so well. You can't believe that liar Preston. Don't tell me you've forgotten how Preston is? He has deceived you more than once or twice. You must distinguish right from wrong!"
Sienna's series of persuasions made Camille furrow her brows involuntarily. Her facial expression gradually changed from curiosity to a faint smile.
She looked at Sienna, waiting for her to finish speaking before calmly responding, "Sienna, do you know what you were doing just now?"
"What was I doing?"
"You were speaking up for Ayan. You used to always stand by my side. Help me distinguish right from wrong!" Camille lightly shook her head. "Tell me, what benefits did Ayan give you?"
"He didn't give me anything. Compared to Preston, I will always unconditionally stand on Ayan's side. Don't you know what kind of person he is? It's that Preston, always resorting to these despicable tactics. Don't you think it's shameful for a grown man?"
Camille looked at Sienna and said, "It's true that I listened without judgment, so who told you I believed it?"
Camille blinked her eyes lightly, her mouth curved with a smile as she stared at Sienna. She said, "I never said I believed Preston's words, did I?"
"Your tone just now made me think you believed it."
"If I believed it, I wouldn't be sitting here calmly with you right now. I would have gone straight to Simpson Group and made Ayan pay for it with his life."
Sienna gave a thumbs-up, "You're ruthless enough."
Camille just smiled lightly and said, "But I still need to talk to Ayan about this. What if he really has some connection with Eileen?"
Although she didn't believe Preston's words and never thought that Ayan would defend Eileen after she spread those rumors, considering that the rumors weren't targeting her but rather putting Ayan in the spotlight, if he defended Eileen, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
However, Ayan had told her about the relationship between Eileen and Preston, as well as some kind of agreement between them. They had been working together towards this agreement and goal for a long time. So even if Ayan had contact with Eileen, it would only be to extract information about her connection with Preston.
She had great trust in Ayan, and despite Preston's words, her inner conviction remained unshaken.
But she didn't say many of these things directly; keeping them in her heart was enough for her.
She stayed at the company with Sienna until the end of the workday, and then Camille drove alone to Simpson Group.
