My Ex-husband Begs Me Back -
Chapter 234 Goodbye
"Don't ask why. Do what you are told. Where are all these questionsfrom?"
Irene grimaced, logged on to her microblog, and wrote a tersestatement.
“I am so sorry that I have quit the competition because the work that Isubmitted did not belong to me. I stole from others and kept them formyself. I feel uneasy in my heart and my conscience is alsocondemned, I finally decided to admit it publicly. I am sorry and hopeyou all can forgive me. I promise that I will never do it again. "
Irene's microblog had hundreds of thousands of fans, plus she oftenmade posts, so there were quite a large number of people online. Oncethis content was released, many fans immediately got upset. Althougha few of them chose to forgive her, most of them did not understand.Some people also speculated about who did she steal the designdrawing from?
Camille was mentioned. Of course, with no response oracknowledgment, it was just a guess.
The authority of the architectural design competition immediatelyreplied and forwarded Irene’s post, hoping that she would correct hermistake. It meant that it was confirmed.
Irene put on sunglasses and a hat and said to her assistant, "Off to theairport, back to Hance City."
The assistant nodded and told the driver to get the car.
The assistant whispered, “Irene if you're doing this, the company willtake action on you. We can talk to Camille directly."
“It's not my choice at all.” Irene sneered.
From the moment Molly found her, she had no choice. After all, shecouldn't compete with Molly. Although she was a friend, Molly was amember of the Walker family, the rich people of Flento City. She wasonly a designer, no matter how talented she was.
Molly's father had just called her personally and told her to withdrawfrom the competition immediately and apologize in public. He also toldher that she could either apologize or completely quit the industry. Itwas her choice.
Irene didn't have the right to say no. So, in the end, she had to followLuke's request to write an apology, as to why Camille's name was notpublic, she couldn't understand.
Sienna couldn't figure it out, too.
Sienna was confused and asked, "shouldn't you mention the name inthe apology at this time?"
“I don't want to make a big deal out of it, especially at this time. Thereare two more rounds to go. If people found out that I was the one whowas plagiarised, will the others think that I was bullying Irene? Itchanges the whole point of the contest, and Simpson Group will bequestioned about it. It's the best like this."
As for the public apology, it didn't matter if her name was on it or not.What mattered was that she showed Irene and Molly that she was not apushover.
Irene returned to Flento City, and Molly was given a hard time by Luke,who eventually told her to return to Flento City immediately or he wouldcancel all her cards and ban all her connections with the Walker family.Molly was not willing to leave but she could only obey. She hatedCamille so much that she swore she would make Camille lose in thenext round.
Molly left on the same day, and Preston called Camille to apologize inperson. Camille simply responded, “this has nothing to do with you. Youdon't need to apologize for her.”
Preston was worried and asked, "Cami, do you blame me?"
"Why?"
Camille responded in a low voice.
Preston said more apologetic things until Sienna interrupted theconversation.
Sienna asked Camille, "what did you do to get Molly's father to listen toyou?"
Camille smiled. "Guess!"
Sienna rolled her eyes. This person was becoming more and more likeAyan. After living together for a long time, they become more and moresimilar.
After the preliminary round was over, the second round didn't begin foranother twenty days or so. In the meantime, Camille had to work on theSimpson Group project in addition to preparing her work.
Camille was pregnant for more than four months. To those who didn'tknow she was pregnant, it was hard to tell. But to those who did, it wasvery obvious that she was pregnant.
To ease her workload, Sienna volunteered to revise Camille's artworkand guide Yessica and her team on their progress.
This allowed Camille to focus on Simpson Group's project for the timebeing.
She went to the construction site in the morning to meet with Mr. Moss,hand over the designs, and check the materials. In the afternoon, shewent to Simpson Group to show Ayan the designs.
She hadn't been here in a few days. Kian was surprised to see her, buthe greeted her and took her to the office.
When Camille knocked at the door, she thought Ayan was alone. Shesaid with a smile, "Mr. Simpson, are you busy? I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of someone elsein the office.
It was Sophia.
She was sitting in Ayan's desk chair, and Ayan was leaning on his deskwith his hands and seemed to be talking. They both had smiles on theirfaces and seemed to be having a good time.
Ayan heard her voice and immediately looked around, thenstraightened up and walked towards her. Camille calmly pulled backher gaze and said, "I'm sorry, am I interrupting?"
Ayan walked up to her, staring at her for a moment with his dark eyes.“No, I was talking with Sophia about the project. Why did you comehere at this hour?"
She kept calm. "Is it convenient to show you the design drawing? Ifyou're not free, I can come back later.”
"Any time is convenient for you to come over. *
He watched her expression for any change.
Camille pretended not to notice this, but followed him to the sofa andsat down.
Sophia also got up from her chair. She smiled and said, "Camille, yourimprovisations were great. Congratulations on the competition.”“Thanks, but there's still a lot to improve.” Camille smiled generouslyand responded.
They looked at each other in the eye and Sophia said, "Ayan, why don'tyou and Camille talk while I go to take some coffee?"
"Well, if you don't know your way around, ask Kian to replace someone toaccompany you."
"Okay. "
Sophia waved to Camille. "Camille, I'll leave first and see you next time.Bye."
"Ok, take care, bye!"
Sophia and Camille were done exchanging pleasantries until Sophialeft. Camille’s face turned expressionless again.
She looked at Ayan. "Can you have a look at the blueprints if there isanything wrong? If it's all right, I'll turn it over to Mr. Moss."
"Are you coming here just to show me the blueprints?"
He squinted and stared straight at her without blinking. "Or what elsecould it be? I came straight from the construction site. Ask Mr. Moss ifyou don't believe me."
"Oh, I was just hoping that you missed me. Why did you directly andmercilessly tell me the truth?"
Camille laughed. "I thought you liked the truth.”
He frowned and watched her eyes become darker. Before she wasready, he pressed down on her.
Camille could clearly feel his body on top of her and his lips touchinghers.
She was pinned down on the couch and had no chance to escape.
All his movements went so smoothly as if he had practiced or imaginedthem a thousand times in his mind.
