Sienna anxiously pleaded, “Oh, please, don’t be like this. I’m starting to get nervous. It’s my fault this time. I shouldn’t have overthought things, and I shouldn’t have doubted you. I apologize sincerely. Please forgive me this time!”
“Alright, considering your sincere apology, I’ll let it go this time. But it’s not going to happen again, understood?”
“Camille!”
“Alright, let’s just leave it at that. Do you have anything else? If not, go rest. I know work has been exhausting for you, and it’s going to be busy later.”
After finishing her words, Camille was about to hang up the phone.
But Sienna didn’t intend to end the conversation. She said indifferently, “Are you pretending with me?”
Camille pretended not to understand and asked, “What do you mean?”
“I feel like I’m going to be driven crazy by you. I don’t want to get angry right now, so be honest with me as you promised. Otherwise, I might not believe you anymore.”
Sienna spoke very seriously, her tone filled with intense curiosity.
After she finished speaking, Camille looked in the direction of the hall. Talia was with Timothy, and Fletcher was playing chess with Callum. Every day, they repeated this harmonious and peaceful scene. Honestly, she felt it was perfect.
Now both her and Ayan’s work was going smoothly. Simpson Group was thriving day by day. Aria and Derek’s relationship was also getting better. Everything was getting better.
Camille enjoyed everything in the present moment, so she had no interest in anything related to the Wyatt family.
She sighed silently, her voice slightly hoarse as she said, “I can’t talk about this matter right now. Let’s have a video call tonight after you get home!”
Camille’s tone was serious, without any hint of joking.
Sienna was taken aback and asked softly, “Is it something serious?”
Camille replied calmly, “I don’t know how to explain it to you. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it’s not exactly a light topic either. To be honest, the whole situation leaves me feeling quite helpless. It’s a long story, and there’s not enough time to go into it now. Besides, I’m at the Simpson’s mansion, so it’s not really convenient for me to talk about it. All I can tell you is that only Callum and I know about this. Even Ayan is kept in the dark.”
Sienna was taken aback. She hadn’t even told Ayan about it… It must be a huge matter.
She asked in a low voice, “Did Callum transfer Simpson Group to you?”
“What are you thinking? Do you think Simpson Group is a small grocery store? It’s not that simple.”
Simpson Group had countless employees under its banner. It was not something that could be given away so easily.
Sienna was curious and asked, “Then what is it about?”
“Don’t ask anymore. If you keep asking, I think you won’t even want to go to work anymore.”
“I actually have that thought. Mario is conveniently absent today too. These past few days have been quite nerve-wracking for me. You know what? Irene has already started thinking if this project is coming to an end. She said that she still had to pay her two assistants, so she had to pull herself together and quickly find another job.”
Upon hearing Sienna’s amusing tone, Camille couldn’t help but laugh.
Camille replied casually, “You guys are really something else. Maybe they just want to change the person in charge. It doesn’t mean the project is ending. I’m not worried at all. Irene’s worrying too much!”
Most of Camille’s company’s focus was on this project. If they really reached a point where there was no way forward, there would be nothing they could do. However, that possibility was very small. Even if everyone else eventually gave up on this project, Ayan wouldn’t. The project’s prospects were incredibly promising, and it was also one of the most publicly anticipated initiatives right now.
But these were not the main points. Mario’s situation was the main point.
Camille asked, “Didn’t you ask Jillian about Mario’s situation?”
Sienna sighed, “Honestly speaking, not at all. Jillian has been busy lately too. She doesn’t even know that Mario is stepping down as the project leader. You know what kind of person he is. He’s completely difficult to get along with. I don’t know why Jillian is so set on him. Sometimes, I even suspect that she pursues him just to dump him.”
Camille couldn’t stop laughing and said, “Luckily, you’re not his real sister. Otherwise, his life would be quite difficult.”
Sienna said seriously, “Seriously, I’m doing this for his own good! He’s not young anymore, and Jillian is such a good girl. I don’t know why he’s still hesitating.”
Sienna ruthlessly criticized him without holding back.
After talking about Mario for a while longer, Sienna said again, “Anyway, Mario is gone now, and no one is managing me anymore. Since we don’t even know who the new project leader will be yet, I’m taking a break for myself as a reward. Wait for me. I’ll contact you again in an hour.”
Sienna acted quickly. When she said she was taking a break for herself, she really meant it.
Because there were only a few people in the SynergyCon project team today since Mario’s team didn’t show up today. It looked like they were planning to scrap the project.
Camille was curious about it, so after talking with Sienna, she asked Ayan.
Ayan replied, “Something happened at King Group. Mario had to go back and handle it, so he won’t be in Hance City for a while.”
Ayan only said this and didn’t reply further because he was busy meeting with Mario at the moment.
Since they still hadn’t found a new project leader yet, Mario had no choice but to come personally to Simpson Group to meet Ayan.
He candidly explained to Ayan that he had to return to King Group due to internal issues. This trip would take at least three to four months, as the company needed to address and stabilize the situation before he could feel at ease.
Given the circumstances, it would be unreasonable to insist that he stay.
After all, this project wasn’t solely Mario’s responsibility, so it was impossible for him to see it through to the end.
Ayan had no objections and simply nodded in understanding. He then asked out of courtesy, “If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Thank you, but for now, we can manage.”
“You go back to Flento City and handle the company matters. I’ll discuss with the team here and see who can temporarily take over or if we can bring in a team to manage things.”
“Alright, Mr. Simpson.” Mario handed over the handover documents he had brought with him to Ayan. “These are the project progress reports and all relevant documents. Everything up to today has been handled, and I’m willing to take responsibility for any issues that arise with the documents I’ve signed or any future documents tied to me.”
