In reality, Ayan had no intention of letting Alicia off so easily. She even considered making Alicia publicly apologize and holding Nores Group accountable for it.
However, Rex said that if this matter escalated, Camille's name would once again be thrust into the attention of everyone. While some people might understand, there would also be those who would use hurtful words. Even if they could hold those people accountable, it wouldn't reduce the pain inflicted on Camille.
After Ayan's remarks, Mr. Nores repeatedly assured them, but in the end, Ayan didn't specify when the project would resume.
The project had officially been halted for a whole day now, even though it hadn't even started formally. However, rumors about the situation had started to spread.
After all, there was no such thing as an airtight secret. Even if the confidentiality measures were done well, there would still be occasional leaks.
An anonymous blogger posted a video showing Ayan and Camille leaving the hotel that night, with Mr. Nores following behind. From the video, it was clear that Mr. Nores was trying to please Ayan and Camille. So, after the video was released, some people speculated if there was a problem with the project.
However, the incident didn't generate much attention because it wasn't considered a significant scandal. The onlookers weren't particularly enthusiastic about it.
But it did bring some minor troubles to Nores Group. After all, Nores Group had staked a lot on this project, so with such an issue arising, their stocks naturally experienced some fluctuations.
However, there had been no response from Ayan's side, which greatly worried Mr. Nores.
Mr. Nores once again sought out Mario, hoping that Mario could speak some kind words to Camille.
Mr. Nores even showed considerable enthusiasm, saying, "Miss King, if Mrs. Simpson is willing to let bygones be bygones, I am willing to offer a layer of benefits from Nores Group to treat Miss King to a cup of coffee. Consider it my expression of goodwill. In the future, if Miss King ever needs anything from Nores Group, just let us know, and we will spare no effort."
Mr. Nores expressed his sincerity anxiously. Originally, he only wanted to imply, but he discovered that a direct response was much better than implications.
After Mr. Nores' words, Mario simply smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Nores, it will be difficult for us to cooperate in the future if you act like this. I'm not after any benefits you offer. As for Cami, don't worry, I have already talked to her on the phone. You know how delicate a girl's thoughts can be. Although this incident doesn't seem to have caused any tangible harm, it has hurt a girl's feelings, which is far more significant than any physical damage!"
Mr. Nores repeatedly agreed but still hoped that Mario could contact Camille again and have a proper conversation. If there were any requests, he should just speak up.
Mr. Nores repeatedly pleaded with Mario, who seemed hesitant. But in the end, Mario said, "Since Mr. Nores is so sincere, I'll give it a try. I'll have a good talk with Cami. She's generous, and she won't hold onto this matter forever. Actually, it's Ayan who cares more about her, which is why she hasn't let it go."
With Mario's assurance, Mr. Nores was filled with gratitude towards him. Since he was anxious to urge Mario to contact Camille, he quickly hung up the phone without much conversation.
After ending the call with Mr. Nores, Mario had no intention of making a phone call himself. His secretary, who had overheard the conversation between him and Mr. Nores, asked in a low voice, "Miss King, do you really want to contact Miss Armstrong?"
Mario narrowed his eyes, his expression cold and indifferent, and his voice unusually flat as he said, "I'll definitely make the call. But this time, I have to let the Nores family know that it was my effort and arrangement that made Camille open up. Otherwise, they wouldn't have budged."
The secretary frowned slightly, finding it somewhat unrealistic. She asked, "But what if the Nores family doesn't see it that way?"
"No, they won't. Right now, the Nores family is at a loss. Since Alicia has already apologized to Camille, and there's still no definite outcome from Ayan's side, it means the Nores family doesn't know what to do. If I call Camille and then Ayan's side provides a clear answer, how could the Nores family not think it's related to me?" Mario explained.
