My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1242

Chapter 1242: Clever

Camille didn't have much to do in the afternoon, so she decided not to return to the company and waited at the Simpson Group for Ayan to finish work and go to the hospital together to visit his grandfather.

Camille had leisure time, but Ayan was busy, especially with two meetings scheduled for the afternoon. During this time, Camille was alone in the office.

Camille didn't find it boring because Ayan's office had many books to pass the time. She sat on the office sofa, reading a book, unaware of how much time had passed until she heard a knock on the office door.

Camille calmly said, "Come in!"

The next second, the office door opened.

It was the assistant.

She walked in and whispered, "Mrs. Simpson, Mr. Nores from the Nores Group is here. He's waiting in the lounge and wants to see Mr. Simpson, but Mr. Simpson is still in a meeting and hasn't come out yet!"

Camille furrowed her brows slightly and said calmly, "Hmm, then entertain Mr. Nores well. We'll talk to Mr. Simpson after he finishes the meeting."

The assistant nodded lightly in response and then left the office.

Mr. Nores had found his way to Ayan again. Was it because he didn't get satisfactory results from Mario? Or had Mario already informed Mr. Nores that he wouldn't be able to convince Camille, so the only way was to personally visit Ayan?

But whether it was the former or the latter, both felt bothersome. This matter had already made Camille feel uncomfortable. She sighed silently and continued reading, not wanting to dwell on anything related to this issue.

The meeting Ayan was attending lasted nearly two hours before it finally concluded. The topic revolved around the completion of a multinational project by the Simpson Group. Ayan would likely have to travel abroad as many ceremonies required the presence of the CEO. The project was of significant scale and involved multiple companies.

Today's meeting mainly discussed the follow-up work and addressed various issues that had arisen during the project's nearly year-long duration. Many of the problems were quite tedious, requiring careful handling.

After the meeting, Ayan returned to his office immediately.

Camille was still sitting on the sofa, reading a book. She looked up when she heard the movement and asked, "Did you meet Mr. Nores?"

Ayan replied, "No, I just finished the meeting. I told Kian to inform him that I didn't have time, and he left an hour ago."

"He left so easily?"

"What else could he do? Should he wait for me at the entrance of the meeting room?"

"I just thought he wasn't very persistent. He came all the way here, but then he left without even seeing you."

That didn't align with Mr. Nores' usual style. He had already explored all possible solutions for this matter, and now that he had come to their doorstep, wouldn't he want to give up without even meeting Ayan?

Camille found it somewhat strange.

However, Ayan explained, "I didn't intend to see him, and his main purpose for coming was related to Mario, as you and Sienna also speculated, right? Mario wouldn't waste his efforts on something meaningless. Our guess during dinner was correct. Mr. Nores' appearance is probably due to a certain agreement between him and Mario. Now that Mario made the phone call, it's justifiable for Mr. Nores to show up at the Simpson Group. He's probably testing whether I'll give in or not, taking advantage of the momentum after Mario contacted you!"

"So that's how it is. I have to say Mr. Nores' plan is quite cunning!"

"Even more audacious is Mario. He wants to continue the project's recovery while also selling personal favors to the Nores family. He wants to have the best of both worlds, but how could everything go his way?"

Ayan looked at his wrist to check the time. He decided not to continue discussing this matter with Camille and said, "I have another internal meeting in a while, probably for about an hour. After it ends, we can go directly to visit my grandfather."

"Okay," Camille obediently nodded.

Ayan looked at her and asked, "Are you bored?"

"It's fine. You have plenty of books here, so I can pass the time easily." Camille raised her hand and gently reached out towards him. He stepped forward, and Camille wrapped her arms around his waist. She said, "You're so busy today, and seeing how hard you work, I feel guilty spending your money all the time."
