"Miss Khan, Mr. Simpson is busy, as you know. When he's busy, he doesn't like any disruptions. If you have something to discuss, please wait until Mr. Simpson is available. Okay?"
Kian's words came with a clear warning and implication. Eileen didn't dare to insist any further and simply replied in a low voice, "Then please let Kian inform Ayan for me. Thank you."
"You're very welcome, Miss Khan."
Kian's tone was distant as he ended the call abruptly.
Kian immediately relayed this message to Ayan and expressed some concern. "Could it be that Preston knows about your schedule and intentionally sent Eileen to test us?"
Ayan furrowed his brows slightly, his voice devoid of emotion. "It shouldn't be. There aren't many people who know about our visit, and our itinerary has been kept confidential. So how would Preston know? Besides, we haven't been here for long, so even if he had suspicions, he wouldn't have confirmed them so quickly."
Ayan continued in a detached tone, "Contact the person keeping an eye on Eileen and find out if she had any contact with Preston."
Kian nodded and then asked, "If Preston does have suspicions, should we take precautions?"
Ayan's demeanor remained icy and his deep eyes filled with coldness as he replied, "Let's investigate first. If he does have suspicions, knowing Preston's nature, he won't believe even if we take precautions. It would be a waste of time."
Kian acknowledged and quickly made arrangements.
Meanwhile, Ayan sat calmly on a couch, his expression consistently indifferent. After a moment of contemplation, he picked up his phone and initiated a video call with Camille.
Camille was in her office, discussing design plans with Sienna. Both of them were deeply engrossed in their conversation when a video call notification interrupted them.
Camille glanced at her phone, her eyebrows involuntarily furrowing. "Ayan."
Sienna couldn't help but tease, "Do I need to step out? Isn't Mr. Simpson on a day off? Or is it because he's missing you?"
Camille pouted slightly and replied, "You're overthinking it; it's definitely not that."
Camille got up and walked to the window before accepting the call.
Ayan's face immediately appeared on the screen. He seemed to be sitting by a window, the sunlight casting a clear light on his face.
Camille was taken aback, raising her eyebrows as she asked softly, "Why the sudden video call?"
Because she hadn't put him on speaker, his voice was also hushed. He replied, "I miss you."
Camille blushed a bit, feeling a bit embarrassed. She discreetly glanced at Sienna, who was still lying on the couch, not paying them much attention. Camille spoke softly, "Sienna and I were discussing design plans. How about you? What are you up to?"
Seeing Camille act like a teenager in love who was afraid of getting caught, Ayan couldn't help but find it amusing. His lips curved into a faint smile, and his voice carried a warm tone as he said, "I'm just daydreaming and feeling bored. I should've brought you with me to keep me company."
Camille lightly huffed, "Who told you not to bring me? Are you afraid I'll disturb you?"
She said it in a serious manner, causing Ayan to furrow his brows slightly. His voice carried a hint of playfulness as he said, "What are you talking about? Say that again! If you say it again, I'll immediately have someone bring you over. Want to give it a try?"
After Ayan finished speaking, Camille couldn't help but laugh. She asked, "Really? But I don't believe you."
"You don't believe me?"
"That's right."
Ayan couldn't help but smile at her teasing. His voice carried a gentle rasp as he said, "Well, you always like to challenge me when I'm not in Hance. If I were in Hance right now, would you still say that?"
"I'm not afraid of you, even if you were here, I'd dare." Camille responded fearlessly. Her lips curled into a noticeable smile as she continued, "So, you called for a video chat just because you miss me? There's nothing else on your mind?"
