My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1294

Chapter 1294: Patience

"What Mr. Tillery said, I am well aware of the capabilities and influence of the Tillery Group, so how could I possibly underestimate them? Mr. Tillery seems to have had too much to drink. It's better for him to go back and rest. We can discuss work-related matters tomorrow."

Although it was still late at night here, not even midnight yet, in foreign countries, it would be dawn in a little while.

Ayan hadn't experienced jet lag and was grateful for waking up late during the day. Otherwise, enduring like this would surely lead to sudden death!

Ayan's words were already indicating to Mr. Tillery that the phone call was coming to an end, right?

Mr. Tillery didn't say much more either. Perhaps he was really drunk and didn't want to escalate the situation with Ayan. Although Tillery Group was formidable, Ayan was someone he wanted to cooperate with and utilize. He certainly couldn't afford to fall out with Ayan so quickly. Ayan had great value to him!

Mr. Tillery hung up the phone as he wished, and then his secretary took the phone from Ayan's hand and returned to the car. However, his mood seemed quite bad, so he didn't even let the secretary get into the car. He directly told the driver to leave, leaving the secretary standing alone in the wind, dazed.

Naturally, Ayan also witnessed this scene. He exchanged a glance with Kian, and Kian understood what he meant and got out of the car.

Kian left for about five or six minutes, then came back with Mr. Tillery's secretary.

Kian was driving, Mr. Tillery's secretary sat in the passenger seat, and Ayan was alone in the back seat.

Kian asked Mr. Tillery's secretary, "Where do you live? Give me the location."

Kian wasn't very familiar with the roads here, and this car was arranged by Tillery Group for his convenience.

After Mr. Tillery's secretary provided the location to Kian, he remained silent in the passenger seat without making any sound. The journey went smoothly the whole way. It was a less crowded time, so there was no traffic congestion.

They quickly arrived at the secretary's apartment. The area wasn't particularly busy, and the apartment was quite ordinary, which made Kian suddenly feel fortunate.

Compared to Simpson Group, Tillery Group naturally had greater influence internationally, but Simpson Group's influence in the country and in Hance City couldn't be underestimated either.

If we compare the two, Mr. Tillery, as a listed corporation, naturally had broader business and connections than Simpson Group. However, Simpson Group had steadily and solidly progressed step by step. Every project they undertook was well thought out and could withstand scrutiny. Tillery Group couldn't match that.

Especially when the secretary of a chairman of a listed corporation lived in such an ordinary small apartment, it clearly didn't align with his status.

But that was someone else's business, and Ayan and Kian certainly wouldn't meddle.

"He caught a cold and is working from home," Camille said indifferently.

Preston clearly didn't believe her, so he instinctively asked, "He's working from home? So he's been at home these past few days?"

"Yesterday he was at home," Camille replied, of course not revealing that he had been at home all this time. After all, Preston had called to ask, so she couldn't answer like that.

Preston still didn't believe her, and suspicion flashed in his eyes. In a low voice, he said, "So he's still at home now?"

From his questioning tone, Camille could sense his doubt about the situation. But at the same time, she also realized that he didn't know where Ayan was at the moment. As long as he didn't know where Ayan was, she would feel relieved. So Camille's response was calm and composed as she said, "Yes, he's at home."

Preston still didn't believe her, but he didn't express any further doubts. He simply asked, "If Ayan is at home, then where is Kian?"

"Kian isn't my secretary. How would I know where Kian is? Kian is Ayan's secretary. If Ayan is working from home, then obviously Kian wouldn't be at home with him," Camille replied impatiently, but she couldn't afford not to answer.

The atmosphere remained tense for a while, but Preston didn't say anything else. After ending the call, Camille immediately called her assistant because Kian had arranged for someone to keep an eye on Preston, and the assistant was aware of it. She asked the assistant, "Is the person watching Preston still there? Do you know if he's made any moves?"
