My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 204

“Well, it has been following us since we went out from the company. I changed a route intentionally. I’ll speed up probably. You need to buckle up.”

Camille reached out and pulled out her seat belt to fasten it. “Don’t worry. It’s OK if you couldn’t get rid of it.” She whispered.

“OK. I get it.”

Kian glanced at Camille to make sure that she was ready and then stepped on the gas pedal to speed up.

Camille didn’t have much resistance to this. She looked back at the car behind them, noticing that it is following them exactly just as Kian said, as it is also speeding up while Kian is accelerating.

Where was such a coincidence under the sun?

Camille narrowed her eyes slightly. There were some inexplicable emotions at the bottom of her heart, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Kian turned three corners and finally managed to shake off the car behind them.

After the speed of the car stabilized, Camille asked, “Mr. Reid, did anyone follow you when you came to my office?”

“Probably not. I’ll notice it if there is. But it is not ruled out that they didn’t follow me very closely.”

“If that car didn’t follow you just now, it must be for me.”

Camille squinted, with a cold look in her eyes.

She didn’t continue her analysis, staying silent, with an indescribable feeling occurring in her heart.

So many things have been happening recently that Camille’s anxiety slowly grew deeper and deeper.

When the car stopped in front of Armstrong Corp, she didn’t get off. She thought for a long time in silence and asked Kian, “Mr. Reid, who do you think is following us?”

“Mrs. Simpson, I don’t know for the time being. I have to report it to Mr. Simpson and ask him to look into it.”

“Well, that’s alright. By the way, I heard from Ayan that there is still no news about the former baby-sitter. Who is responsible for it? Why hasn't anything come of it for so long?”

Kian panicked for a second and his eyes which are looking at Camille dodged subconsciously.

Camille noticed the change in his facial expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nope.” Kian lowered his eyes and did not dare to look Camille's eyes directly. He responded lightly, “Mrs. Simpson, this matter is a little tricky. It is a little difficult to investigate. Mr. Simpson handed it over to me to check the other day, but there have been many things lately. I had to delay it for the time being.”

“Alright. If there is any progress, please let me know.”

Camille didn’t think much about it, but Kian’s expression and reaction made her confused.

She didn’t have time to dwell on it, though, because Grace was also here.

They approached Armstrong Corp. Grace asked her softly, “Why did you come here suddenly? Is there anything wrong?”

“Where is Elijah?”

“I’ve got Elijah working with those two you borrowed.”

Camille didn’t say anything as they took the elevator to Brody’s office.

As soon as they got out of the elevator, they heard Elijah’s dissatisfied voice, “You’d better make it clear that you are here just to help. I’m still in charge of this company. What you are saying has nothing to do with what Armstrong Corp needs.”

Camile looked at Grace faintly. Her eyes narrowed slightly with a bit of coldness.

When they reached the office door, Kian raised his hand and knocked on the door. “Excuse me. Mr. Armstrong is hospitalized, asking the two legal heirs of Armstrong family to have a look.”

Elijah looked over immediately and said, “Grace, you came.”

He skipped over Camille. She was not favored in Armstrong family, so he didn't take Camille seriously at all.

Grace called out politely, “Elijah, I come over with Camille.”

Elijah then glanced at Camille who is Ayan’s wife. Due to that, he doesn’t want to offend her or be too friendly. He kept calm and asked, “Why are you here at this time?”

“Elijah, you’ve been working for Armstrong family for many years, right?”

Camille looked at him indifferently and didn’t call him Elijah as Grace did.

Elijah’s face stiffened slightly and he was a little concerned, “Your father and I have been partners for many years. You don’t live in the Armstrong family so maybe you don’t know. Grace knows very well the relationship between Armstrong family and me”

“Elijah, I just asked how long you’ve worked for Armstrong Corp. I don’t care If you have a good relationship with Armstrong family or my father.”

Camille’s coldness made Elijah unhappy instantly. Grace reached out and tugged at her clothes subconsciously, indicating that she couldn’t talk with him like that. But a look from Camille made her stop and freeze.

Camille simply said, “Elijah, you’ve been working for Armstrong Corp for many years. Is this the first time you encountered an accident like this due to layoffs?”

“Of course.”

“Since it is the first time, we have to take some special measures.” Camille walked to the couch and sat down. She looked at Mario’s secretary and asked, “Do you have the files on the two employees who jumped?”

“I have them ready for you, Miss. Camille.”

Camile took the files and glanced at them. Then she looked at Elijah. “Their contracts with Armstrong Corp were due to expire this month. If we let them leave at this time, they can still get a compensation. Therefore, it maybe a little too deliberate for them who jumped off the building to make trouble at this time.”

“Miss. Camille, you have never worked at Armstrong Corp before, so you don’t understand the model of Armstrong Corp certainly. I think it is understandable that the two employees chose such a way to stay in Armstrong Corp in that they don’t want to lose their jobs. Of course, top priority should be given to our company’s interests.”

Elijah looked unhappy, with his eyes showing he was discontent to Camille.

Camille laughed, “Your words make me wonder if you are on the side of Armstrong Corp or the two vexatious employees?”

“I’m on the side of Armstrong Corp certainly.”

“I even assumed that those guys who jumped off the building were with you.”

Camille looked at Elijah straight in the eyes as she spoke.

Elijah frowned and said unhappily, “What do you mean? Grace, do you listen to your sister? I’ve really put a lot of sweats if not efforts in everything I do. Your father never said anything like that. How could a junior…?”

“Elijah, calm down. Camille was just too worried about the company.” Grace felt a bit awkward. She looked at Camille and said, “Camille, stop talking. Elijah…”

“Elijah, please go the hospital and talk with those two jumpers. If they are willing to settle privately, I can offer them a new job and pay them a compensation. If not, we will go through the legal procedures. Considering that they are well and their employment are about to expire, I think that the law would give me a fair result.”

“Did you arrange for me to do these things in what capacity?”

Elijah looked at Camille with an unwilling face.

Camille didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled. “Though I didn’t grow up in Armstrong family, my surname is Jane and I am also the legal heir of Armstrong Corp. What’s wrong with my arrangements for you? If you don’t want to do, I can find someone else. After all, secretaries can be changed.”

“You…” Elijah was furious at Camille’s words. He shouted, “Let me see your dad. Only he is qualified to talk with me like that.”

"In that case, please stop what you are doing for a period of time. You must have been tired of following my father for so many years. It’s time for you to take a break. How do you think, Elijah?”
