Camille burst into laughter, "Yeah, we're role-playing divorced ex-husband and ex-wife. Can you believe it? It's actually quite thrilling. Look at how well we're bonding. Life can be so dull sometimes, it needs a little spice."
Camille said it with such conviction that even Sienna couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Are you serious?" she asked.
"Do I look like I'm lying to you?" Camille retorted.
Sienna grinned mischievously, "So, tell me, how exciting was it?"
Before Camille could respond, they heard Yessica's voice coming from outside, "Mr. Simpson, why don't you come in?"
Camille and Sienna turned their heads towards the door, realizing that they hadn't noticed Ayan opening the door and standing there, observing them for a brief moment. Camille froze in her tracks, while Sienna felt a touch of embarrassment. After all, their conversation had taken a slightly risqué turn.
Ayan, however, acted as if it was of no consequence. "I was just about to come in," he casually remarked.
Yessica thanked him once again for the coffee and then left to find Kian.
Sienna followed suit and stood up, gently pulling on Camille's arm and whispering, "I'll go out first."
Sienna felt as if she could float on air at that moment.
Approaching Ayan with a somewhat forced smile, she greeted him politely, "Hello."
Normally, she wouldn't be so formal, but Ayan nodded in response, motioning towards the coffee in her hand. "Afternoon tea, please."
Sienna handed it to him, not forgetting to express her gratitude, before she left Camille's office.
Ayan followed suit, stepping inside and closing the door behind him. He took a few steps towards Camille, thoughtfully opening her coffee and offering it to her. "Just the way you like it."
Camille reached out to take it, subconsciously bringing it to her lips for a sip. Then she asked softly, "What brings you here?"
"I came to see what you were up to," Ayan replied. He sat down next to Camille, facing her with a slight smile in his eyes. "Turns out I didn't expect you to share our little exciting game."
Camille instinctively reached out to cover his mouth, not wanting him to continue, but Ayan obediently lifted his hand and clasped it around hers. He chuckled, "So, it seems you turned down my proposal for remarriage because you found this kind of role-playing more thrilling? Camille, I never knew you had a taste for such excitement. You should have told me earlier. Perhaps we could have explored some of these thrilling scenarios together."
Camille's cheeks flushed, and she tightly pursed her lips as she whispered, "You're not allowed to say that again, or I'll make it even more exciting for you. Believe me or not?"
"Oh, please," Ayan replied, his lips curling into a smile.
Camille felt completely groundless. How did he hear it? He rarely said such things, and it took a lot of effort for her to say it just once, and now she was caught.
Not knowing what else to say, Camille quickly changed the topic and asked Ayan, "You haven't told me why you're here."
Ayan, deciding not to tease Camille any further, redirected the conversation to the reason for his visit. "There's a dinner party tonight, and I want you to come with me!"
Camille froze. It was rare for Ayan to ask her to accompany him to a dinner party, unless Sienna was also attending. Sienna's aversion to socializing made it an obvious choice for Ayan not to bring her along.
Camille was surprised and taken aback by the request. She looked at Ayan and asked, "What kind of dinner party is it? Is it something important?"
"It's not that important. Have you heard about the Nores Group land? The Nores family isn't officially involved in the project, but they're expected to be part of it once the construction begins under Mario's supervision. I thought it would be a good opportunity to have a dinner together before the project kicks off," Ayan explained briefly, leaving the decision up to Camille. He then asked, "Would you like to come with me?"
