My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 243 Fierce

Camille pressed her lips slightly and said, "I'm working now. It's not abig company like the Simpson Group, but I need to be responsible formy job. You can go home if you're in a hurry."

Ayan scoffed and kept his angry eyes fixed on her. "You said thecompany is not as good as the Simpson Group, so come and go homewith me."

"The company is not as good as Simpson Group", this sentence wassending some kind of threat. Preston heard this and sensed thatsomething was clearly wrong. He defended, "Mr. Simpson, ourcompany is not as big as Simpson Group, but Mr. Simpson, you stillhave to respect everyone's work, right? Cami and I have a project todiscuss. Isn't Mr. Simpson telling her to go back with youunprofessional?"

"So what?" Ayan's dark eyes were cold and bitter, and he said in a cooltone, “do you think you could sit here and talk to me now without herhelp?"

Meaning that if it hadn't been for Camille, Preston would have beenkicked out of Hance City.

He said it so proudly, but when it came out of his mouth, there wasnothing incongruous about it.

His voice was not so soft that the rest of the office heard what he said.Everyone suddenly looked at them and did not dare to breathe.Preston also went silenced by his words, trying to hold back theemotions that were about to burst out.

In the end, Preston was unable to defend himself, and said, "Mr.Simpson, you can't force her to obey you. Cami is your wife and youcannot treat her as your employee or subordinate.”

Ayan, however, laughed.

His voice was full of sarcasm. "So? Should I act like you, who hides histrue feelings and uses work as an excuse? Since you do have not thecourage, I advise you to put away your impossible thoughts thoroughly.As for whether she will listen to me is none of your business.”

Ayan stared at him intently, interpreting his every word, but he could notreplace a way to defend himself.

Preston put on a serious and cool face, stiff but warm.

The atmosphere in the room turned stern.

The two men looked at each other, but it was clear who was winningand who was losing.

After a few seconds of this standoff, Camille stood up and walked out. Ifshe didn't give in, Ayan would continue to say worse things.

She didn't want anyone else to get unnecessarily hurt for her sake.Coming out of Preston's office, Camille walked straight out of the officebuilding and Ayan followed.

The two remained silent until they got into the car.

Camille looked at him faintly. “Is that funny?"

"Camille, I told you to stay away from him. I don't want to see yougetting too close to him."

He looked at her with his deep eyes, and his deep voice was veryhusky enough, rising from the bones of his throat.

She felt speechless and ridiculous.

She stared at Ayan with a stony look in her eyes. "We were working.What do you think we can do in this company? Besides, I'm pregnant!""Camille!"

"There are only two of us here. You don't need to talk so loudly. I canhear you."

Camille's manner was impassive, and her face was expressionless.Ayan's face was as cold as it could be. "So, you don't listen to what I'mtelling you?" he said. "Do you want me to personally take some actionon your company so that you will be happy?"

"Ayan, don't you dare!"

Camille suddenly stopped, not expecting him to say such a thing.

He sneered with disapproval and said, "Camille, there is nothing I darenot do. If you don't keep your distance from him, I will do it."

"Well, whatever you want to do, I can't stop you. After all, you couldhave gone to see Eileen as soon as she was injured, and you couldhave carried her to the hospital in your arms. What else you won't do?"Ayan twisted his eyebrows, looking a little serious. He finally said in alow voice, " I went there specifically wasn't because she was hurt. Itwas because I had something to ask her. As for her falling off the horse,it happened after I arrived, it wasn't my intention."

Was that an explanation?

Camille narrowed her eyes slightly. "Ayan, you don't have to explainyourself to me."

"Will you believe me if I don't explain?"

“It doesn't matter if I believe you or not. After all, you know best what'sgoing on. You've been telling me to keep my distance from Preston,and what about you? "

“You're also married. Why can't you keep your distance from Eileen?Sure, you can say there's something going on between you two, butthat's just an excuse. If you really don't want her to be wronged,wouldn't it be better to give her an official title?"

"Camille, I don't have to lie to you. Haven't you listened to anything I'vetold to you?"

Camille stopped talking.

She was all over the place now.

On the one hand, he was swearing he didn't like Eileen at all, but onthe other hand, there were all these trending searches.

So, what was she supposed to believe?

Her silence made Ayan get worried, and he said in a deep voice, "asyou said, I could have given her a title. So, I wouldn't worry if you wouldmisunderstand me, but Camille, I didn't. Do you know what it means?"Camille lowered her eyes without speaking, and her face looked verygently.

She did not know since when she became more and more silent.Sometimes when she was unhappy, she could have been silent all thetime. She did not know that this would drive people crazy.

Ayan reached up and lifted her jaw. "Camille," he asked, "give me ananswer. Have you thought through what I have said?"

She flashed her eyes and frowned slightly. “I don't want to think aboutthat for now. It's all about Grandma's surgery at the moment.”

A sentence about her grandmother's surgery completely made Ayanspeechless.

Ayan's face was obviously turning serious and cold.

The woman in front of him was clearly unwilling to talk to him about it,not to mention to give him an answer.

What was she hesitating about?

Because of Eileen?

Ayan's eyes were slightly turning dark.

The conversation stopped abruptly. Ayan drove back to his apartmentwith Camille.

Several times he actually tried to get her to move back to HanyamaManson, but she was too stubborn and he didn't want to force her. So,he just let her choose where to live. It didn't matter where she lived, aslong as she was with him.

Back at the flat, the servant had prepared dinner.

These days, Sienna ate with them, but today Sienna and Yessica haddinner plans together, so it was just Camille and Ayan.

They ate in silence. It was a very quiet atmosphere, so quiet that onlythe sound of each other's chewing and breathing could be heard.When they finished eating, Ayan asked, “would you like to have a walktogether?"

"No, I'm a little tired. I don't want to go out.”

"Ok, then I'll replace a movie to watch with you, ok?" he asked softly.Camille frowned. "Don't you have work to do?"

"I want to take the day off to spend time with you, huh?"

He said in a deep voice, the last note spilling from deep in his throatwith a magnetic huskiness.

She looked away unconsciously. Naturally, she was not answering thequestion.

Ayan found a classic old movie. They sat down on the sofa with oneperson distance away from each other.

Ayan didn't lean in for fear that she would just get up and walk away.She would do anything when she was upset.

Thinking of this, he looked at her with a soft smile and thought,"although she was usually warm and soft, she could actually be veryfierce!"
