Crystal also had a serious look on her face, extremely solemn, as she gazed at Ayan, waiting for him to finish speaking before immediately responding, "Mr. Simpson, that's not what I meant. I never intended to sabotage our cooperation. I just..."
"Miss Bill, I've said it before. I don't care about your thoughts. My goal has never wavered from the beginning. I want one thing: to wait for the right opportunity, one that doesn't harm Camille in any way. If the Bill family is impatient, then obviously our objectives are not aligned. From your perspective, you might think what you're doing is best for her. But is that really the case?"
Ayan would never think so, even if others did. It simply wasn't possible. Crystal and the Bill family's urgency only sought to soothe their own emotions.
Human nature is such that as long as we satisfy ourselves, other people's feelings don't matter. Once we comfort ourselves, others' thoughts become inconsequential. That's the main reason why Ayan is so persistent.
If the initial reason for this was for Camille's benefit, he would have definitely agreed without any hesitation.
The two of them stuck to their own views and reasons, and a resolution was not reached.
But Crystal still hoped, asking Ayan in a lowered voice, "Mr. Simpson, can't we discuss this? Can't we both compromise a little?"
"Right now, you're not asking me to compromise. You're asking me to completely abandon my bottom line. If you can't agree to my terms, then I have no interest in continuing to work with you." Ayan finished speaking and stood up. Indifferently, he said, "Miss Bill, I won't keep you any longer."
He then called for Kian to escort her out, not showing any warmth, only coldness and hostility.
Crystal, of course, refused to leave. She sat on the sofa, showing no intention of leaving.
Ayan paid her no mind and went to his desk to start working.
Kian came in from outside, gesturing for Crystal to leave.
