My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 956

Chapter 956: Sincerity

Camille was slightly taken aback by Mrs. Bell's inquiry, and her expression turned nonchalant. She asked, "Is there something you need, Mrs. Bell?"

Mrs. Bell didn't provide a direct response; instead, she hesitated momentarily before saying, "Can we meet in person?"

Camille checked the time and replied casually, "I'll be at the office in about half an hour. Feel free to come over."

"Alright, see you in a while," Mrs. Bell agreed.

"Sure, see you later," Camille responded before ending the call.

Afterward, Camille sent a quick message to Ayan, informing him about Mrs. Bell's request to meet. Then, she hurriedly changed into appropriate attire, grabbed her bag, and headed out. Even Timmy was dropped off at daycare by the driver.

Camille was driving when she received a call from Ayan.

Ayan inquired, "Mrs. Bell wants to meet you?"

"Yes, we arranged to meet at the office. I believe it's about your meeting yesterday. They are probably trying to persuade me since you expected this," Camille replied.

Ayan had foreseen this situation last night. Mr. and Mrs. Bell on their side weren't likely to give up so easily. Although he didn't intervene in Mr. and Mrs. Bell's decision, he knew that having his support was much better than the current state of detachment. That way, even if an unexpected situation arose, the Simpson Group wouldn't stand idly by.

So Mr. and Mrs. Bell were not about to give up on convincing Ayan. Mr. and Mrs. Bell couldn't persuade Ayan directly, so their only option was to approach Camille, as Ayan had explained to her the previous night. But unexpectedly, Mrs. Bell arrived so quickly.

Ayan advised Camille, "Just maintain your composure. If she doesn't directly discuss it, there's no need to probe or inquire. Even if she does bring it up, you don't need to pay much attention to it. Simply shift all responsibility to me."

"I understand," Camille replied while driving. She asked, "Are you heading to Modest Temple Hotel now?"

"Not immediately. I'll stay in the downtown today. I have dinner plans with the government official we contacted earlier. I might have to handle the upcoming work under his name," Ayan explained.

"Alright, I'm preparing to go to the office then. That's the plan," Camille said.

"Okay," Ayan agreed.

Once they ended the call, Camille was just about to enter the company's underground parking garage.

She took the elevator up to her office floor and received a message from Yessica confirming Mrs. Bell's arrival.

Camille didn't respond to the message, for she had already arrived at the door of her office.

Yessica had welcomed Mrs. Bell into Camille's office, and Mrs. Bell sat on the sofa. Yessica was preparing tea for her. When Camille arrived, Yessica informed her, "Mrs. Bell says she has an appointment with you."

Camille nodded and smiled at Yessica. "You can go ahead; we'll chat."

Yessica left the office, closing the door behind her.

Camille walked to the empty seat opposite Mrs. Bell, maintaining a polite and friendly expression. "Mrs. Bell, what brings you here today?"

Mrs. Bell's gaze remained fixed on Camille as the two women locked eyes. Mrs. Bell spoke slowly, "Cami, I came to see you today because there are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

Camille pretended to be unaware of the situation and spoke with a gentle tone. "Sure, what's on your mind?"

"It was him," Mrs. Bell revealed. "He wanted me to come and talk to you, to convince Ayan, to make him agree to our proposed solution. He hopes Ayan won't just stand by but actively participate in this matter. Because only through cooperation can this partnership be more sustainable."

Mrs. Bell explained that she had initially declined because she didn't want to use Camille again or strain their friendship further. She said, "That's why I wanted to be honest with you."

Camille smiled and replied, "You're sincere."

"Is that a compliment?" Mrs. Bell asked with a hint of curiosity.

Camille nodded, confirming it was indeed a compliment.

The two women shared a smile. Mrs. Bell then continued, "To be honest, after the last incident, you must have some grievances against me, right?"

Camille shook her head, "I don't hold any grudges. It's just that we have different perspectives."

Mrs. Bell understood Camille's unspoken message. She nodded and sighed, "After this matter is resolved, I'll be returning to my home country. Once everything is settled there, I plan to live in Hance. I may trouble you when that time comes."

Camille's voice remained calm as she briefly assessed Mrs. Bell, sensing a hint of sadness in her eyes. She couldn't resist asking, "Regarding you and Mr. Bell..."

Camille wasn't sure if this question was appropriate, and she hesitated for a moment. She also worried that Mrs. Bell might not be comfortable answering, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "If you plan to come over in advance, please let me know, and I'll arrange accommodation for you."

Mrs. Bell replied, "Yes, that would be great. You can keep an eye out for a suitable apartment for me."

"Sure," Camille nodded. The conversation could have ended there, but Mrs. Bell took the initiative to say, "Cami, are you perhaps curious about the current state of my relationship with him?"
