Today was Camille's second day in Flento City. Since Mario was taking her and Ayan out for lunch, they didn't have any plans for the morning. They rested in the hotel until after nine o'clock. There still hadn't been any news or activity from Sienna's side.
Ayan was on the phone. Even though he was in Flento City, he couldn't neglect his work at Simpson Group. His phone was constantly ringing, and he was always glued to his computer. He had only taken a short break yesterday, just for one day. Now, he was already swamped with work.
So Camille was left alone on the couch, looking at the tall buildings of Flento City through the window. The weather outside was clear and cloudless, but she felt bored, lying on the couch without moving.
She couldn't help but think that Sienna had probably felt the same during her time alone in Flento City. It made her feel a pang of sympathy. Letting out a silent sigh, she realized that when a person had free time, they tended to feel bored and start to overthink. Perhaps being busy was better after all.
That way, there would be no idle time for wandering thoughts.
However, some people couldn't withstand being pestered. Just as Camille thought about Sienna, her phone rang.
Camille answered with a smile, feeling happy inside. But she deliberately said, "Finally awake? Why didn't you sleep a little longer? It's already late morning. You might as well have waited until lunchtime to wake up!"
Just as Camille finished speaking, Sienna's voice sounded somewhat tired. "Cami, Mario can't treat you and Mr. Simpson to lunch today."
"Huh?"
Camille was a little surprised.
She asked, "Does he have something to deal with?" However, she instantly felt relieved. She casually said, "It's fine not to be treated. That way, I don't have to face him. Let's have lunch together, and in the afternoon, we can go watch a movie. We plan to leave Flento City tomorrow because he has work in Dane City, so..."
"I can't accompany you today. Can you have lunch with Mr. Simpson by yourself?" Sienna's voice sounded weak, as if she was extremely tired and hadn't rested well.
This made Camille worry. "What's wrong with you?"
Sienna didn't answer directly but said, "Let's talk about it later. I'm really sorry for not taking care of you properly and not spending enough time with you. Please don't be mad at me, okay?"
Sienna apologized in a low voice, expressing her sincere remorse. After all, she had been the one hoping for Camille to come, but after she arrived, Sienna hadn't taken good care of them. There was some guilt in her heart.
Camille quickly replied, "Hey, what are you saying? Do we still need to talk about these things between us? But you have to tell me if something happened. Sienna, if you can't even tell me while I'm here with you, then when I return to Hance City, you won't say anything, and we won't know what's going on?"
Camille felt a sense of worry as well. The promise they made last night suddenly changed. If Sienna had work to deal with, it would be understandable, but she refused to speak directly and her evasive answers were clearly hiding something. Camille could sense it clearly.
Camille frowned, looking concerned, and subconsciously looked at Ayan, her eyes filled with worry and unease.
Sienna's response was slow, as if she couldn't
figure out how to answer.
There was a brief pause for more than ten seconds before she spoke softly, "Cami, please stop asking, okay? Let me figure out how to explain it to you first. But don't worry, I haven't done anything foolish. I just encountered something unexpected, and I need to resolve it before I can contact you. When you and Mr. Simpson leave Flento City, send me a message. If I don't reply, it means I'm busy. I'll get back to you as soon as I can, okay?"
