My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 944

Chapter 944: Hidden Secrets

Eileen bit her lip gently, her voice slightly stiff and uneasy. However, she still mustered the courage to reply, "Of course not."

"Really?"

"Ayan, everything I said is true. Although I've lied to you before, what I'm saying now is the truth. While I can't really tell you what Preston is planning, I have no reason to lie about anything else."

Her words seemed to carry a note of excitement, her face tinged with a slight redness. Her eyes betrayed her emotions, reflecting a hint of agitation. If seen by anyone nearby, this innocent appearance would easily evoke belief. However, Ayan remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, his voice still devoid of warmth as he said, "I had you come here to ask you this question privately because I wanted to give you a chance. Your answer just now holds weight, and if you lie to me, Eileen, you know how I can be."

"Ayan, I haven't lied."

"Alright, let's end this topic here. I've heard your answer." Ayan interrupted Eileen's words and no longer looked at her pitiable expression. He shifted his gaze elsewhere, his voice colder, "Preston is preparing to come to Hance. If he contacts you, tell me immediately, alright?"

Eileen's expression grew complex. Her eyes became more focused, but in the face of Ayan's request, she naturally had no grounds to refuse. She simply nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Ayan didn't dwell further on Preston's matters. Instead, Eileen initiated a conversation, "Ayan, I've been back for a while now. I want to know when you have time to help me with my work?"

Ayan only narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze serene without a hint of ripples. "Eileen, I believe cooperation requires both sides to bring forth their utmost commitment and sincerity for it to proceed smoothly. If one party invests more than the other, the cooperation will eventually crumble. What do you think?"

Eileen's face stiffened; of course, she understood what Ayan meant by his words.

She lightly pursed her lips and softly asked, "Ayan, what kind of commitment and sincerity do you want from me?"

"I'm not the one who wants your commitment and sincerity. But how great is your sincerity in cooperating with me? If you're sincere, naturally, I won't let you suffer. Cooperation requires both parties to work together; it's not about doing what the other side wants."

"I don't know what you want, so I can only ask you. If it's something I can do, I will certainly do it. However... even if I wanted to tell you about Preston, I might be willing but unable. At the moment, Preston is not in Hance. Even if he did come, he wouldn't contact me. After all, he knows that the moment I returned, I would be looking for you."

No matter what Ayan said, Eileen always had an easy reply, going back and forth. Ayan felt his patience wane. His face grew colder, and his voice turned devoid of warmth, "Is that so? Well, take your time to think about it. Let me know when you're ready to show your sincerity, and we'll begin our collaboration."

"Ayan!" Eileen's eyes welled up with tears. With no job and limited options, her goal of returning to Hance seemed to slip further away. She couldn't remain passive any longer.

However, Ayan didn't want to listen any longer. He said calmly, "Eileen, take your time to consider. Let me know your answer once you've made up your mind."

After this declaration, Ayan got up and called Kian into the office room. He instructed Kian to take Eileen back to the hotel.

That's right, taking Eileen back to the hotel. The reason was that Eileen had been staying at the hotel for quite some time now, which was inconvenient. Therefore, Ayan specially arranged for a house maid to take care of Eileen. Taking advantage of today, he had the maid accompany Eileen to the hotel. Her room had been upgraded to a fully-equipped suite.

With such a well-dressed explanation, Eileen had no opportunity or grounds to refuse.

After leaving Simpson Group, Eileen sat in the car, her mind preoccupied. The car was still driven by Kian. Since they had to pick up the maid, they didn't head straight to the hotel. Instead, they went to the mansion that Ayan and Camille had lived in before. The maid had taken care of Ayan and Camille for a long time, and naturally, she had seen Eileen before.
