Chapter 228: Accident

Camille frowned. It was the first time that she had received such an anonymous call. She didn’t have

much reaction, because she didn’t want others to hear it, which would make them nervous. She said

indifferently, “You even dare to let me hear your real voice. What qualifications do you have to ask me

to withdraw the competition?”

"I’m just giving you my advice kindly. I can't help if you don't listen to me. I can tell you truthfully that

you won’t be selected for today’s competition. If you don’t trust me, we’ll see.”

That done, the one on the other side of the phone hang up directly. the arrogance and confidence

between the words made Camille's eyebrows twist more tightly, who was it?

Camille clutched her mobile phone, looking cold and gloomy.

She compressed her lips slightly, reminding herself that she must be cautious. But she didn’t rule out

that the call was just a hoax only to confuse her.

Either way, she wouldn't be afraid.

Camille indicated no signs of being out of place, and continued to participate in the artwork inspection

until it was time to pack up and set off.

Before leaving, they were cheered by the colleagues at the company. And Preston escorted them to

the elevator personally. He said in an encouraging tone, “Relax. No matter what the result is, don't push

pressure on yourself. Cami, it is just a competition, not a test of your ability.”

"Alright. I get it.”

Camille nodded.

"You guys need to cooperate with Miss. Armstrong. I’ve booked a restaurant. Let’s get together

tonight.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Don't worry. Mr. Simpson.”

The three of them chorused.

Preston looked at Sienna who was standing next to Camille finally and said in a soft voice, “Sienna,

would you please come with Cami to the game?”

"Camille is my best friend,"Sienna said, "I’m not doing it for anyone else, just for her. Therefore, I’m

quite willing.”

Preston smiled stiffly, with an awkward look on his face.

Thankfully, the elevator opened at the moment. Camille waved and led the four people into the

elevator.

Preston stood outside waving goodbye to them and gazed after as the elevator closed before turning

around and walking into the office.

Forty minutes later, they arrived at the scene.

They were led by the staff to the designated lounge, where the designers could make the final

preparations.

When they arrived at the longue backstage, the staff opened the door and said, “Miss. Camille, you

could make preparations here before going on stage. We’ll bring fruit and coffee later. I won’t bother

you.”

“Thanks for you trouble.”

“My pleasure.”

After the stuff left, Camille thought of something suddenly and asked Yessica to close the door. She

said, “We need to check if the room is safe.”

Yessica understood immediately. She turned off all the lights and inspected the room with the camera

function, eventually reassured by determining that there was only the monitor coming with each longue.

Seeing this, Sienna asked, “Camille, why are you so cautious?"

"It’s always better to be careful.” Camille replied lightly. Especially the phone call last night made her

have to be wary.

Sienna didn’t think twice about it, assuming that she took the contest seriously.

With more than one hour before the game started formally, Camille asked Yessica to turn on her

computer and they went over the drawings again. After making sure that everything was in order,

Camille went to the bathroom with Sienna.

Sienna knew that Camille hadn’t competed such a big competition for a long time. She comforted her,

“Honey, are you nervous? In fact, there is no need for you to be nervous. I know what you’re capable

of. You’ll be fine.”

Camille didn’t need any pretense in front of Sienna. “Hope that everything goes well.” She said with a

silent sigh.

As for her ability, she was confident certainly. She was not self-conceit but she was confident.

Sienna echoed Camille’s words, “Well, don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

Camille smiled faintly, “May it be.”

A few minutes later, the two of them came out the bathroom. Sienna was curious about the whole

setting, so she wanted to take Camille for a tour.

However, as soon as they reached the rest area for the participants, they saw a group of people

marching around, led by a woman in a sexy dress and elaborate make up, who was wearing

sunglasses so they couldn’t see her appearance clearly.

They didn’t want to make way obviously, so Camille subconsciously pulled Sienna aside. As the

woman passed, the corners of her mouth turned up in a slightly dismissive smile.

When they passed away, Sienna grumbled, “Who are they? They are so arrogant.”

Camille smiled and said, “Suck it up. For the sake of your curiosity, we’d better to have a look on the

layout first.”

Sienna turned it up, while Camille also wandered, was this woman also in the competition? With so

many people, maybe she was a very famous designer.

Camille accompanied Sienna through the entire set-up scene. The host was already testing the

microphone on stage, so the two walked to the lounge.

Back in the break room, Yessica was alone.

Camille asked, “Where did the others go?”

“They went to the bathroom.” Yessica replied. She pointed to the fruit and tea on the table while

saying, “This is sent by the staff just now.”

Camille didn’t care about it thoroughly and even didn’t look at it. Her sights fell on her laptop. She

frowned and said, “Why didn’t you turn off the computer?”

Yessica replied immediately, “It was turned off just now.”

Camille knitted her brows, looking cold. She checked the drawings, but the encrypted folder showed

"This folder is empty".

She clicked on all the files on her computer immediately, only to find that each of them was empty.

Her expression went contemplative and serious at once.

Sienna sensed her change and asked, “Camille, what happened?”

“The computer has been tampered with and everything was gone, including our entry for the

competition.”

She was accustomed to drawing an outline on paper and then modifying it on the computer. After that

she would continue the next round of outline on paper and correct it again on the computer again,

repeating the procedure until it was finished each time. At last, she would shred all the pieces of paper

in case somebody fiddled.

Her computer has always been kept well, because as an architectural designer, there were a lot of

things in her laptop. And that’s why she specially invited a computer professional to install the security

system. But now the system was formatted directly, which cannot be something wrong with the

computer. It must be intentional by someone experienced.

On hearing Camille’s words, Yessica tensed at once. She said quickly, “Miss. Armstrong, I swear it was

not me. I’ve never left the room. I’ve been working for you for so long and I know your habits, so…”

“Who else has been in the room since I left?”

“The staff who delivered the fruit.”

“Well.”

Camille nodded and whispered to Yessica, “This is just between the three of us, alright?”

“But it’s only half an hour before the game, we…”

“That’s what I should worry about. All you have to do is to pretend you don’t know anything.”

Camille interrupted her and whispered.

“Well, I see.” Yessica nodded.

Camille called Kian immediately. She had the only way to find out who did it.
