My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1223

Chapter 1223: Disappointment

Camille naturally saw the name displayed on the screen and was slightly taken aback. She asked, "Why is she calling at this time?"

"I don't know," Sienna said, raising her hand to her mouth, making a hushing gesture, and then directly answered the call, "Hello!"

The person on the other end immediately greeted enthusiastically, "Are you busy? Did I interrupt your work?"

"Not really, what's up?"

"Well, I just arrived from Flento City today and brought some local specialties from there for you and Camille. I was wondering if you're available. If so, let's have dinner together tonight. You probably haven't had Flento City's local delicacies in a while, right?"

The call was from Crystal, and she was undeniably very enthusiastic. This enthusiasm wasn't annoying; instead, it had a somewhat difficult-to-refuse quality because she wasn't just enthusiastic but also very sincere.

How many people could gather such an attitude?

However, Sienna didn't immediately agree. She instinctively looked at Camille and locked eyes with her. She calmly responded to Crystal, "I can't confirm right now because I still have some unfinished work. As for Camille, I don't know if she has any other appointments. I'll ask her later, okay?"

"Oh, I see. I thought you both weren't busy since it's afternoon tea time. I've already arrived downstairs at your company, but it seems inconvenient. In that case, why don't you come down to pick up the things, or I can wait for you at the café downstairs?"

Crystal's words clearly revealed a sense of disappointment. After all, she was very enthusiastic when making this call, but hearing Sienna's uncertainty about availability made her feel a bit let down.

Sienna furrowed her brows slightly and said, "I'm really sorry. Wait for me downstairs for a moment. I'll come down now."

Crystal agreed, and then the call ended.

Sienna sighed silently while holding her phone. "Crystal is downstairs. She said she brought Flento City's local specialties for us and invited us to have dinner together. I didn't agree, and she seemed disappointed."

Camille just nodded slightly and said, "Go down and get it."

Sienna nodded and left the office, heading downstairs.

As soon as Sienna came out of the building, she saw Crystal waving at her, holding a large bag of things and jogging over.

Crystal asked, "Did I interrupt your work?"

"No, it's a good time for a break," Sienna said quickly, reaching out to take the things from Crystal's hands. She added, "Why did you buy so much? Actually, Hance City sells these things too. If we're craving them, we can just buy them directly. It's too troublesome for you. Don't bring them next time. Going back and forth is too tiring."

Sienna politely declined and said that she hoped Crystal wouldn't go through the trouble again in the future. The items Crystal brought were quite heavy, and Sienna assumed she had prepared a lot. Sienna knew that the specialty snacks from Flento City weren't all available in one place, so it would take a lot of effort and running around to gather them all. It would be troublesome to ask a friend for help, and it would even be more embarrassing if Crystal had personally gone to buy them.

However, Crystal didn't feel the slightest bit burdened. On the contrary, she was quite happy and said, "It's okay, I have nothing better to do at home anyway, and I also wanted to have some myself. So it's just a side task for me, don't stress too much!"

Sienna smiled slightly and felt the atmosphere cooling down. So, she initiated a conversation and asked, "How are the preparations for the second round of the competition going?"

"We haven't started yet. I recently went back to Flento City, and I've been playing around all these days without any thought of work. I was afraid I would waste my time like this, so I hurried back. How about you? How are your preparations going?"
