Chapter 849: EverlastingChapter 849: Everlasting
After getting off the plane, Camille and Ayan went to collect their luggage. During that time, Ayan went
to the restroom, leaving Camille alone, waiting for their luggage. Another person was also waiting for
their luggage.
Camille didn't notice until the person called out to her.
"Miss Armstrong?!" The man's voice was unexpectedly gentle in this noisy environment, catching
Camille off guard.
Camille followed the voice and saw Jordan standing not far away. He had a gentle face and a faint
smile. She immediately waved in greeting, but she didn't expect Jordan to approach her after collecting
his luggage.
Jordan said, "What a coincidence! Are you here in Dane City for a trip?"
Camille nodded slightly, "Sort of! And you? Are you here to have fun too?"
He forced a smile, "I'm here to handle some matters. If you're available, let's have a meal together?"
Just as Jordan finished speaking, Ayan returned.
His voice sounded first, "Cami?!"
He had just come out of the restroom and saw a man standing next to Camille. The man stood tall and
had a smile on his face. It seemed like they knew each other. As it was a man, Ayan instinctively
frowned, his eyes showing a touch of displeasure and indifference.It wasn't until he approached that he realized the man was Jordan. Their gazes met, and they naturally
noveldramarecognized each other.
Seeing him, Jordan's eyes also revealed a hint of surprise, especially when he saw Ayan standing next
to Camille.
Ayan lightly opened his thin lips and said, "Long time no see. What a coincidence!"
Jordan also smiled faintly, "Yeah, what a coincidence."
He didn't ask about Camille's relationship with Ayan, but he already had a rough guess in his mind. He
wasn't a gossiping person and wasn't curious about other people's private matters or secrets.
While the two men calmly greeted each other, Camille's confusion grew. She never expected that the
two of them would know each other.
At that moment, Jordan received his luggage. He looked at Camille and Ayan and spoke softly, "Miss
Armstrong, Ayan, I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again if we have the chance."
Camille nodded and said goodbye, while Ayan remained silent, only raising his head.
After Jordan left, Ayan took Camille's hand, and with his other hand, he pushed the luggage towards
the exit.
They didn't discuss Jordan further. When they arrived outside the airport, Sophia was already waiting in
the car.
Seeing Camille and Ayan, Sophia immediately got out of the car and waved to them, "Hello!"
Sophia approached them. She got along well with Camille and immediately took Camille's hand and
walked towards the car. Only Ayan was left to handle the luggage.Sophia opened the backseat and took out a bouquet of roses, handing it to Camille, "Welcome to Dane
City. I hope you'll fall in love with it."
Camille felt delighted by the ceremonial welcome, her face beaming with a smile. She said, "Thank
you."
Sophia's gracefulness was evident in every move she made. She said, "Don't be so polite. Get in the
car quickly. I've already made a reservation at a restaurant. We'll drop off your luggage at the hotel first
and then go for a meal."
Camille and Sophia sat in the backseat while Ayan took the driver's seat.
Sophia thoughtfully opened the GPS for Ayan, "So, Mr. Simpson, thank you for being our driver. As the
host, I'll accompany Camille."
Ayan had no objections. He opened the driver's door, sat down, and pressed the accelerator, driving
away from the airport.
The three of them returned to the hotel first and dropped off their luggage before heading to the
restaurant.
It was just the three of them for lunch today, so the atmosphere was relaxed and casual.
During the meal, Sophia mentioned Austin's situation.
She said, "Norman Group in Campole has caused quite a stir. Austin can't be found, and the company
is likely to face a thorough investigation. With all the turmoil, Norman Group is definitely in great crisis."
Sophia said this while looking at Ayan, as if assessing something?Ayan pretended not to notice Sophia's intentions and responded indifferently, "Hmm, so what? It
doesn't have much to do with our project, does it?"
Sophia was momentarily taken aback, caught off guard by Ayan's retort.
But she continued to stare at Ayan, her probing evident in her words. This made Ayan's gaze turn cold,
and his tone displeased as he said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop staring at me like
that. My wife is right here!"
Sophia, being spoken to like that by Ayan, instinctively frowned and looked towards Camille, who was
sipping soup beside them. Camille had a bewildered expression, glancing back and forth between the
two. Sophia quickly explained, "Camille, don't listen to his nonsense. I was just lost in thought. Please
don't misunderstand me."
Sophia then turned to Ayan and said, "Ayan, you're trying to sow discord between Camille and me. Let
me tell you, the friendship between girls is delicate. If I were to stir up trouble in front of Camille, your
days wouldn't be easy."
Ayan let out a light hum, completely unconcerned.
Camille smiled faintly and looked at Sophia, "It's okay, I didn't misunderstand. You two can talk."
Camille didn't involve herself in their conversation. After all, it was work-related, and she didn't want to
interfere or express any opinions. She had come this time simply to have fun with Ayan.
Sophia raised an eyebrow at Ayan, her eyes carrying a hint of provocation, completely different from
her previous infatuation with him. She said, "Did you hear that? Camille won't misunderstand me, so
stop trying to sow discord between us."Ayan ignored her, just picked up picked up a piece of fish for Camille, placing it in her bowl gently. His
tone was gentle as he said, "Have more fish. It's a specialty of Dane City. If you like it, we can arrange
for a cook to make it for you when we return to Hance City."
Listening to this, Sophia felt her teeth ache. She was extremely fortunate to have realized that
something was between them and cut her losses in time; otherwise, she would be the only one getting
hurt in the end.
She clicked her tongue a couple of times and said lightly, "I should have left this meal for the two of
you. I'm just an unnecessary third wheel."
"Well, you can leave now if you want." Ayan responded without any hint of politeness.
His response made Sophia's expression even more unpleasant, and she glared at Ayan with complete
anger and indignation. Camille, seeing this, couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but she immediately
said, "Sophia, he's always like this. Don't mind him."
"You should say a little less. We're in Sophia's territory now, and I'm still waiting for her to show me
around!" Camille looked at Ayan, not knowing what had gotten into him. Whenever he encountered
Sophia, he became like fire, completely without restraint.
After Camille spoke, Ayan fell silent. Sophia knew that, at this moment, it was Camille who held the
most influence on him.
As long as Camille was pleased, what Ayan thought or did didn't matter anymore.
Sophia raised her juice glass and tapped it against Camille's. She said, "Indeed, you're the better one.
Here's to our everlasting friendship, and I hope you always have a bigger say than Ayan."
After the toast, Sophia finished her drink in one gulp, while Camille just took a sip.Overall, the meal was enjoyable, despite some small incidents. They were just playful banter, and it
didn't lead to any real embarrassment.
After the meal, it was still early, so Sophia suggested taking a stroll around Dane City with the two of
them.
Camille had no objections. After all, Sophia had suggested it, so she naturally agreed.
However, Ayan declined, saying, "I'm tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Take us back to the hotel."
"Do you think I'm a chauffeur?"
Sophia huffed lightly, but Ayan had already taken Camille's hand and sat in the backseat.
Camille looked at Ayan and didn't sense any particular emotions in his expression, but she still asked in
a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
