But Camille didn't know any of this. She didn't have the mind to think about what others thought at the moment. Right now, she was talking to Ayan.
Kian had returned to Simpson Group and had relayed everything to Ayan as per Camille's instructions. This included the agreement signed with the shareholders. After reading it, he directly called Camille and said, "Secretary Armstrong, congratulations. You did a great job!"
Camille couldn't help but smile at his words and replied, "Thank you for the praise, Mr. Simpson."
Ayan also smiled and asked, "Does Mr. Simpson not have a reward for me?"
"What reward do you want?"
"It's not that I want it, but that Mr. Simpson wants to give it to me voluntarily," Camille said. "Mr. Simpson, I don't want to be forced. I want it willingly!"
Camille's words were very imposing, and Ayan smiled and said, "I'll come to pick you up after work and give you the reward. Okay?"
"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Simpson's reward later."
With the end of the workday approaching, Camille could start getting ready.
The two of them did not continue chatting and instead returned to discussing the current situation at Armstrong Corp.
Ayan said to Camille, "Your actions at Armstrong Corp today will soon spread within the company, as the employees don't know what happened. They will continue to speculate on what you discussed. These guesses will vary and will likely surface tomorrow. Then the media will start making wild guesses."
Ayan had already mentioned some of these speculations to Camille from the beginning, so she wasn't worried.
But now that things had officially escalated, she would face questions and speculation.
Camille asked curiously, "What do I do then?"
"Just wait."
"Do nothing?" Camille was worried. "Not doing anything, won't they think I'm afraid?"
"When did you start caring so much about what others think?" Ayan asked in a low voice. Camille smiled and said, "That's true."
Ayan added, "You will be busy these days. If you don't want to deal with those people, then don't bother. Once the situation at Armstrong Corp spreads online, you will have achieved your goal." "Okay, I understand." Her voice sounded a bit dull, and she said, "I don't know how things will turn out in the end."
She was starting to worry.
But no matter what, what should happen will happen.
Camille sighed silently, and softly said, "When Horace comes back, I will have him give me a bonus."
"Okay, if he doesn't want to, just tell Grace."
"Haha."
Camille smiled, and her worries disappeared.
Since Ayan had to go, their conversation ended there.
After hanging up, Camille sat alone at her desk and looked out the window. The view here was not as good as Ayan's office, but Armstrong Corp had been established in Hance City for many years, so the company's location was also very good. Camille went to the floor-to-ceiling window and took several photos with her phone.
She sent these photos directly to Grace. Grace was in the morning, and she received Camille's message and quickly called her.
Camille answered quickly, and Grace's voice came through, "Up so early?"
"Yeah."
"Are you at Armstrong Corp?"
"Yes."NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"Is it very hard? I heard from Horace that you've been doing a lot of cleaning these days. I know you're doing this to leave a clean place for Horace." Grace said in a hushed tone, full of gratitude. Camille said with a faint smile, "Just let Horace pay me then."
This was the third time she brought up the issue of payment. She even began to doubt herself, wondering if she had come to Armstrong Corp for the money. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.
Grace knew she wasn't concerned about this, and she said, "Camille, thank you."
Her tone was very serious, and it left Camille in a brief silence.
Camille said with soft and hoarse voice, "You don't have to thank me. This is something I should do. The Armstrong family now only has you and me. If I didn't do anything, then that would mean I truly have no sense of responsibility. The reason I'm doing this is not just for Horace."
She was also doing this for Grace, but she didn't need to say more. Grace understood as well.
Grace had also learned from Horace the severity of the situation. If they were to go into battle, what Camille was doing right now was the first charge into battle.
Grace said softly to Camille, "Camille, thank you!"
"Are you being formal with me?"
"It's not formality, it's a sincere thank you," Grace said sincerely.
Camille knew she was a sensitive person, so she accepted her thanks directly, "All right, I accept your thanks, okay?"
Grace added, "Can you handle it now? Should we have Horace come back soon?"
Camille said, "No need, let him accompany you for a few more days. After he returns from this trip, the next time he goes will either be to bring you back to Hance City or for your engagement."
They had been together for quite some time and had experienced so much together. They were nearing a decision. Horace's parents had always lived where Grace was currently, so they would definitely have a simple ceremony there, and then they would hold another one back in Hance City.
Camille had already started thinking about these things. After all, with BrodyPage turning into what it was now, Grace's lifelong event. Even though she was the younger sister, she wouldn't want to deprive Grace.
However, Camille wouldn't tell Grace her thoughts just yet. They could decide on their own.
The two chatted for almost half an hour, and it was only when Horace's secretary came to the door that they ended the conversation.
The secretary came to speak to Camille about the situation. The confrontation this morning had already spread within Armstrong Corp, and many department heads were inquiring about the meeting. This included many of Mr. Armstrong's trusted allies. The secretary asked, "Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to win them over to your side?"
"No, as long as I show no response, they will seek out Mr. Burris," Camille replied, looking at Horace's secretary. She continued, "Mr. Burris is the future manager of Armstrong Corp. Therefore, I will not be
involved in recruiting g
over to
my side. I will leave all decisions to
Mr. Burris."
The secretary nodded. He was somewhat surprised that Camille didn't want to develop her own allies and was giving all the opportunities to Horace.
Just then, Horace's secretary was just asking without expressing Horace's thoughts.
At around 5:30 in the afternoon, it was finally time to leave work.
Ayan was on his way back, and Camille couldn't wait to leave.
She held her phone and kept staring at it, waiting for Ayan's message to come in so she could leave immediately.
As Camille waited eagerly for Ayan, her phone suddenly received a message: "Camille, let's meet and talk about something. Something about Ayan. He's not as loyal to you as he seems on the surface!!!!"
