Mario was quite supportive and said, "Having Miss Nores as a daughter is like having an capable assistant."
Mr. Nores laughed cheerfully, but his pride couldn't be concealed in his eyes.
Alicia became very confident because of this. Without any restraint, she looked directly at Camille and mentioned her by name, "I heard that Mrs. Simpson has also started her own company. Mr. Simpson is already busy enough at Simpson Group. Hasn't Mrs. Simpson considered joining Simpson Group to help Mr. Simpson? That way, Mr. Simpson wouldn't be so busy and exhausted! I believe that after marriage, a wife should prioritize her husband, but it doesn't mean completely giving up work and becoming a homemaker. It means assisting her husband."
She covered her mouth and chuckled, then continued, "Mrs. Simpson, please don't misunderstand me. I'm only expressing my personal opinion."
Camille glanced at her lightly, without much expression, and said, "Miss Nores is indeed outstanding. I can't compare to her. But I heard Miss Nores doesn't have a boyfriend yet? Of course, I don't know if being evenly matched is better for a lasting marriage than assisting a man!"
Alicia's face stiffened, of course, she could understand the implication in Camille's words.
But Alicia still persisted, "I don't mean anything else. I just think it's not wrong for a woman to have her own career. But why can't she assist her husband while pursuing her career? Supporting and advancing together with her husband is a great thing, isn't it?"
"Well, Miss Nores is right. Miss Nores' future husband will be very lucky. But I'm different from Miss Nores. I don't want to be a wife who advances and retreats together. I just want to enjoy the benefits and not bear the difficulties. I'm more selfish. So, Miss Nores, you don't need to share your views on love with me. I can't accept them."
Camille completely shut down Alicia's words with this self-destructive image, leaving Alicia at a loss for how to continue.
Camille's words made Mario couldn't help but smile, "Cami, Miss Nores probably can't detect the humor in your words. Instead, it might lead to misunderstandings!"
Camille remained silent, but Mario continued to ease the atmosphere. He said, "Miss Nores, everyone is different, and your thoughts and opinions are only your own. However, there's one thing I agree with you on, which is that it's possible to assist one's husband while having a career. Advancing and retreating together with one's spouse is a great thing."
Alicia just smiled and asked, "Are Miss King and Mrs. Simpson close?"
Mario glanced at Camille and calmly replied, "Cami and I have known each other since high school. She is my best friend..."
"Mario, I'll tell your sister Sienna to complain to Mrs. King about you later," Camille immediately interrupted him, not giving Mario a chance to continue his words. Camille didn't know how he would introduce his relationship with Sienna, so it was better to cut it off completely instead of worrying about it.
Mario, of course, understood Camille's intention with those words. His facial expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and followed with a smile, saying, "Oh, what complaint are you going to make against me?"
"Just now, you helped someone else but not me. That alone is enough for Auntie Xie to scold you," Camille knew very well that Mrs. King wouldn't scold Mario. It would be difficult for her to even say a serious word. But so what? Besides her and Mario, no one else knew.
Camille's words made Mario couldn't help but laugh. He played along and said, "Both you and Sienna have learned to be naughty, always threatening me."
Camille smiled and remained silent. The interaction between the two didn't reveal any hidden implications to Alicia, but she could tell that they were familiar with each other and had a good relationship.
