My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 817

Chapter 817: Meddling

Camille glanced at him for a moment before lowering her gaze to the desk, maintaining a silence devoid of any sound.

Preston's actions stirred up restlessness within others. After all, he was the high and mighty project manager. How could he not be forgiven when he humbled himself to apologize?

Preston's demeanor was gentle and humble, his expression and words sincere. For everyone else, this matter wasn't his doing, so why should he apologize?

He had generally been good to everyone, including Sophie, Summer, and the other architects. They all nodded in agreement, saying, "Mr. Baxter, we believe in you."

Preston smiled warmly, gratitude evident in his eyes. "Thank you all for your trust. I will not let you down and hope you will supervise to ensure our project continues to progress for the better."

"Yes, we will," everyone except Camille replied, nodding firmly, expressing their determination.

While everyone spoke up, Camille remained silent.

Preston's gaze remained fixed on her, but Camille gave no response, avoiding any eye contact with him.

The others present also noticed Camille's silence and Preston's gaze upon her. The true nature of their relationship wasn't entirely clear to everyone, but this incident almost caused Camille to take the blame. They assumed Camille was perhaps upset with Sean, causing her to avoid any unnecessary involvement with Preston.

Because Camille was Ayan's wife, no one worried that her coldness would provoke any negative sentiments from Preston.

After a brief moment of quiet, Jenson interrupted, saying, "Since everyone has spoken, let's review all the design plans and proposals. We'll have lunch together and take the afternoon off. We'll officially begin work tomorrow."

Taking the afternoon off was the most joyous thing for every hardworking individual.

Sophie couldn't contain her excitement and exclaimed, "Mr. Evans, you're awesome! Mr. Baxter, you're awesome too!"

Others echoed, creating a lively atmosphere in the office.

In order to finish work quickly, everyone worked in harmony. By around 11 o'clock, they had completed their tasks and proceeded directly to the restaurant.

Jenson and Preston rode the elevator together, but when they reached the parking garage, Preston didn't head to his car with Jenson. Instead, he said, "Mr. Evans, you go ahead with the rest. I might be a little late."

Jenson asked, "Is there something else, Mr. Baxter?"

"No, it's just that I want to have a chat with Miss Armstrong. We've been friends for many years, and the reason I didn't tell everyone about our relationship in the project was to avoid influencing Miss Armstrong's work. So I hope Mr. Evans can keep it a secret for me."

Preston confessed that he had known Camille from the beginning and specifically mentioned their long-standing friendship.

Jenson only slightly hesitated before smiling and said, "Mr. Baxter, don't worry. I'm not one to meddle. Since that's the case, I'll take the team and head to the restaurant first."

Without pausing for another second, Jenson walked directly towards the car.

Camille, being the last one to come down from the conference room floor as she had gone to the restroom, saw Preston standing in the waiting area outside the elevator door.

Their gazes met briefly, and she instinctively furrowed her brow. Before she could speak, Preston's voice sounded.

Preston said, "Cami, is it that you don't want to see me?"
