Camille had just returned and was frowning as she looked at the people outside. Her expression held a hint of surprise. Faced with Sienna's enthusiasm, she couldn't ignore her, so she whispered, "If I say no, will you not come in?"
Sienna laughed heartily, "Of course not."
"So why are you asking me?" Camille replied coolly, then walked over to open the door. Her expression remained somewhat indifferent, and there was a hint of awkwardness between them.
Sienna raised her hand and offered Camille the fruit she was holding. "I washed this fruit for you. Would you like to try it?"
Camille glanced at it but didn't take it from Sienna's hand. Her voice was low as she said, "I can't eat it."
Sienna visibly deflated, her hand drooping. She sounded somewhat disheartened as she asked, "Cami, so you still won't forgive me?"
Camille met her gaze and asked, "Is eating your fruit a sign of forgiveness?"
She sighed helplessly, unsure of what to do in front of Sienna. Sienna had indeed kept a secret from her along with Ayan, but this secrecy hadn't caused any harm. It just made Camille feel uncomfortable internally. Apart from that, there didn't seem to be any other losses, did there?
Though she had been furious initially, because Sienna was her best friend, Camille believed that best friends should share everything with each other, whether good or bad, rather than keeping secrets for others, even if it was intended for her own good.
But now, seeing Sienna standing at the door with fruits in her hands, not even daring to come in herself, she exuded a sense of caution. It made Camille uncomfortable. They shouldn't be like this, and they couldn't be like this.
Camille pressed her lips together, concealing her emotions deep down. She took a silent deep breath, then said calmly, "I'm feeling unwell. I had a fever last night and went to the hospital. The doctor said I can't eat fruits while taking medication. You can bring them in and put them in the fridge. I'll have them after I finish my medicine."
With that, she didn't linger and turned to walk inside the house.
Sienna stood still for a few seconds, visibly stunned. Watching Camille not about to close the door, she finally reacted. A smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Alright, I'll keep them for you in the fridge."
Sienna was delighted and hurriedly entered the house, closing the door behind her.
Camille sat on the living room couch, and the TV was playing the latest TV drama, so it wasn't entirely quiet, erasing the previous awkwardness.
Sienna put the fruits in the fridge herself, not needing any help from the maid. Then, she sat obediently beside Camille in the living room, her gaze fixed on Camille without blinking, making it quite direct and unsettling.
Camille furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Sienna whispered, "I'm afraid I won't get to see you again in a moment."
"See me again? Am I going to die in a moment?" Camille replied in an exasperated tone.
Sienna hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I just worry that I won't be able to stay for too long, so I want to look at you a bit longer."
Camille let out a soft hum and a faint, almost imperceptible smile played on her lips. Her voice remained calm, "Do you want to record a video then? It will save you the trouble of looking at me."
"Well, I actually have another solution."
"What's the solution?"
