Ayan couldn't help but chuckle at her question. "If I wanted to coax you, shouldn't I just tell you directly that I'm doing all this because of you and it wouldn't benefit Simpson Group in any way. Wouldn't that make you even more touched?"
"So, are you saying that you're trying to coax me?" Camille asked.
He leaned in closer, his entire being inclining towards Camille, his deep gaze fixed on her without wavering.
His direct and intense gaze made Camille feel defenseless. She pushed him away, stood up from the office chair, and tried to move away. But Ayan smoothly pulled her into his embrace.
He said, "Did you hear what I said and feel unhappy because you think I'm not coaxing you?"
"Am I that petty?"
"Well, I think you are. If you weren't petty, why haven't you accepted me yet?"
Camille laughed, "Maybe it's because I'm not entirely satisfied with how you pursued me?"
Ayan gently pinched her chin, his eyes deep, his voice husky. "Then tell me, what exactly do you want to be satisfied?"
"I won't say it. If I say it, then it means I'm teaching you, right?" Camille reached out and lightly circled her hands around his neck. Following that was her passionate and fierce kiss.
Afterwards, her lips were slightly swollen and tinged with a faint red color. Her eyes looked at him with a coquettish hint of dissatisfaction.
But Ayan became even more enamored by her appearance. He narrowed his eyes and his gaze intensified. His voice became even huskier as he said, "Don't look at me like that, hmm? Otherwise, I won't be able to control myself."
Oh no, help!
It was clearly him who made her like this, but now it seemed like it was her responsibility?
Camille glared at him fiercely, then casually brought up an old matter. She asked, "Who is Alicia? I heard she's been coming to see you often lately."
"Who told you that?" he asked calmly.
She said, "To avoid unwanted attention, one must be careful with their actions. After all, Mr. Simpson's affairs attract a lot of people's attention. There are no secrets in this world. Your behavior is easily subject to scrutiny, and it may cost you. So, you should be cautious."
Listening to her words, Ayan couldn't help but laugh. He said, "I'll fire Kian later."
"It's up to you. But it makes you appear more guilty. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, would you have planned to keep it from me?" She pretended to be displeased, lightly humming, her gaze fixed on him, waiting for an answer.
Ayan didn't think she was genuinely angry. He simply answered truthfully, no different from Kian's response.
Camille asked, "So, do you really need Nores Group's land and want to collaborate with them?"
"I do need that land from Nores Group, but it's not necessary to collaborate with them. The location of that land is currently unfavorable, but its future development potential is significant. If Simpson Group loses interest in the land, other companies will as well. And such a large piece of land isn't something anyone can acquire easily."
"If that's the case, why do you appear so interested now?"
"I need to show interest. Otherwise, how can I make this land seem valuable when I lose interest?"
Ayan smiled, showing that he had everything planned. It had to be said that he always came prepared.
He didn't continue speaking, but the meaning behind his words was understood by both of them.
Camille stayed in the company for an afternoon. Originally, she planned to chat and then go home to rest. However, Ayan insisted that she stay in the company and accompany him.
She ended up staying for the whole afternoon.
During that time, several executives and assistants came in to report work and greet them, all politely and respectfully nodding to Camille, who was sitting on the couch.
Camille remained composed, but internally she felt indescribable emotions. She felt a bit nervous, as if she were an animal in a zoo being observed by passersby.
With this thought, she gave an annoyed glare at the culprit, Ayan.
Finally, after enduring the workday, Ayan held her hand and left the office. It was the end of the workday, so they were drawing some attention from a few onlookers.
Soon, the news spread within the company's internal chat group.
