When he’s in a bad mood, you better not get in his way.
Just follow his orders.
She immediately sent an email postponing the meeting then open her personal laptop.
When the boss is away, Celine will play.
‘Heaven’s Gate’ she opened a document.
Location – check.
Payment plans – check.
Room capacity, facilities, no. of staffs – all check.
Her project proposal is complete.
She just needed funding.
She decided she will not welcome Minerva or Clint to her ‘Heaven’s Gate’ because of the struggles they put her through.
Oh, how time flies when you’re busy.
It’s almost 5pm.
When she checked her phone, she missed a call from Brent.
“Hi Brent. Sure, I’m free for dinner? Who’s joining? And can we have pizza?” she smiled widely feeling excited to have pizza.

“Are you kidding me? Maybe you heard wrongly” she dismissed the idea.“My boss is hungry. I better go now or I will get fired” she left a hundred-dollar bill at the table then left.Brent Hardwood could only smile bitterly.Still not a date to her, just as always.“Daniel, the food is just outside. Why didn’t you pick it up?” she said in annoyance.Did he call her so she can pick it up herself?Isn’t he too much?When he didn’t answer, she started looking for him.“Daniel!!!”“Can you put your clothes on?” she immediately closed her eyes when she saw Daniel walking naked with only towel covering his private part.She suddenly remembered her dream of a naked man taking a shower.She could not shake the image in her head.And whenever she sees Daniel naked, she’s feeling awkward.She could feel her cheeks heating

Sylvia looked around to check if anyone heard her.“Celine, it’s not nice to ask that” she reminded her.“Oh? Sorry, I’m gathering statistics for my project” she apologized sincerely.Why is it wrong to ask death counts in a facility for old people?That’s inevitable.How could she estimate the turn-around of residents in her ‘Heaven’s Gate’ facility if she couldn’t get actual data?She doesn’t understand it.But if Sylvia says it’s not nice, then she will refrain from asking again.“I won’t stay long, Sylvia. I’ll see you next week” they exchanged their goodbyes.***She took her shower in her unit before going back to the penthouse.“Hi sweetheart, I made us lunch” Daniel greeted her with a gentle kiss.She squinted her eyebrows trying to figure out what is happening.“Rela

You chose his rival’s daughter”“You chose to side on his rival” Aaron just shook his head.“What I do is my business” he said with a warning.“Celine is annoying, yes, but she’s a good girl. If the wrong people find out, she will be targeted” Aaron reminded him.“Are you jealous now?” he sized his younger brother.“She’s just a friend” Aaron said defensively.“Stay that way” he warned.“She’s my responsibility. And now that I’m here, no one can touch her” he said with determination t

What are you talking about?” this is a person’s life.“She can expose you. Do you want to risk that?”“C, this is a problem. When we have problems, we solve it. You understand?” Daniel reminded her.Who is this man?Never in her wildest imagination did it occur to her that Daniel is capable doing of such thing.“Don’t do anything. I will talk to her” she said with determination.She recounted how their marriage certificate was filed and how she met Serina.It was when Daniel last visited her at the university.They goofed around the campus taking souvenir photos and revisit their favourite spot the lagoon.When Daniel gave her the broken diamond ring for safekeeping, an

You’re the only one I have” she whispered while kissing his forehead.She looked at his calm face and for one last time, she lowered her head and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.She was so immersed in her emotions she didn’t notice their kiss became deeper.When she opened her eyes, she saw Daniel’s mischievous smile.“You” her annoyance was immediately replaced by relief.She just let all her emotions to flow while burrowing her head to his chest.That gave her a fright.She realized she’s not ready to let

But she filed our certificate months before she turned 18”“How would she kno

Celine couldn’t do anything when Daniel reasoned out like that.She ended up sharing the same bed that night and the nights that followed.They haven’t received the summon from Clint Solomon so they went on with their lives even for just a week.One afternoon Daniel called her to his office for a briefing.“We have a video conference with one of our clients abroad”“If the deal is successful, I will assign the project to you” Daniel said casually and handed her the company profile.“I’m assuming they wanted us to handle their payroll and HR?” she studied the profile and immediately found the potential improvement.“But this is not game-related” she thought he wanted to keep different operations in different countries.“I’m slowly moving the base here. Let me handle the details”Daniel looked at her and could not help but smile.She

I cannot tolerate it” his voice boomed across the room.His playful aura immediately turned into a murderous one.

The wedding was finished in an instant followed by a sumptuous dinner. The guests all stayed for the weekend at the resort and soon it was time for the guests to leave.“Enjoy your honeymoon. But you’ll have to decide how the company will move forward given that Minerva’s position will be vacant” Linda reminded both Celine and Daniel.The mother superior could not be any happier for the two of them now. Now she only wanted for Celine to have babies so she can guide her through motherhood.“Still work, Linda?” Daniel teased.“Actually, no. I want her to enjoy her motherhood so she has to sign the formalities as soon as possible” Linda objected.“Pbbft. Motherhood will only come once she’s ready. Maybe after two years if we’re lucky” Daniel defended his wife.Linda gave Celine a knowing look and she saw Celine shrink back. Clearly, she hasn’t told Daniel about it. Anyway, it’s not her business she just have to wait for her to be ready.When all the guests have left, Daniel decided to br

Although the resort is closed for the next few days, all the staffs were present assisting the guests making sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying their stay.The Bloom family was immediately impressed as soon as they stepped foot on the resort.They had never imagined they would see the white beach and turquoise waters that Helene fell in love with during her final days.Grandma Bloom’s eyes were teary seeing the blooming flowers.Those were Helene’s favourites.It’s feels as though Helene would appear anytime in these flower beds.Celine was observing the old couple and decided to give them a back story.“My parents fell in love in this place and this is where I was conceived as a result of their love.

The old man was really grumpy.And why wouldn’t he?Celine said that the ceremony will only involve a few guests. And it would be a simple celebration. However, as soon as she started setting up her decorations, he knew it wasn’t as simple as she claimed it to be.Since he could not convince them to stop, he left the farm as soon as they started putting up the tent and only came back when he received the message that the farm is back to its previous order.He could already see their eco-friendly rating dropping from the charts. He still needed to submit reports to explain that the event did not pollute the environment.So, he is really grumpy right now. He has a lot of work to do.If the spoiled owner wanted to discuss business he needed to calm down for a day before he would be willing to negotiate.To be honest, he’s beginning to have second thoughts on selling the property to Celine. Who could guess what she’s planning to do next time?If only there’s a way to contact his master’s

Everyone kept their silence when they saw Celine followed by Daniel.If looks could kill, Daniel would have been dead by now based from the glaring stares he’s getting. Even Aaron who adored him looks at him disappointingly now.He knew he made a mistake but he can explain himself if he will be given a chance. All that matters to him now is that Celine agreed to be his wife for real. The rest will follow later on.“Let’s have dinner now. Celine is hungry” Daniel said to break the deathly glares directed at him.The rest of the group snapped out of their own worlds when they heard Celine was hungry.Sylvia immediately went to the kitchen to check on the food while Aunt Marge prepared the dining table.Celine wanted to help but everyone wanted her to rest.She thought about what happened in the afternoon and they must have felt pity for her.Her heart warms up at the special treatment she’s receiving.“Uhhmm.

Daniel tried to swallow hard to remove the lump building in his throat.Suddenly, it was very difficult to breathe after realizing what happened.He let the elders scold him so he could punish himself but Sylvia’s silence was more than he could take.No one said another word anymore. No matter what they wanted to say, it’s all useless now.They were at this stand still when the Blooms arrived.“Ah, Daniel you came. Celine would be relieved” Dr. Bloom was filled with vigour.He never expected the wedding atmosphere to lift Grandma Bloom’s spirits.They just came from the make-shift tent where she inspected the final decorations and her eyes were dreamy.“Let’s get married again tomorrow, dear” she joked as she gave instructions to the wedding planning team.“Grandma” Daniel greeted.Grandma Bloom acknowledged his presence but turned her attention to the la

Their reactions were not like as she has expected.“What if Daniel doesn’t want to get married?” Aunt Marge suddenly asked.She was worried that Daniel would have to give in to Celine again.For the Stevensons, they place a high value to marriage and family. Since their businesses could easily attract those unscrupulous characters, they needed the kind of security that only blood and family could provide.“Of course, Daniel will marry Celine. There’s no way that Daniel will object” Sylvia defended Celine from the Stevensons.“I understand all your concern. Of course, Daniel will have to agree this time. Anyway, I prepared the ceremony thinking that Daniel has really found a wife. It turns out, it’s only a ruse to throw off the Solomons.” Celine explained.“Daniel has already said that he will only get married because of love. I guess later I will know if he sees me as his potential

She could hear Britney’s sobs in the background. Daniel must have put their call on speaker mode. Isn’t she really thick-skinned? If it were Celine, she would have definitely dug herself out of that room. But then again, she’s Britney Smith, only she can do what she does and only she can accept this kind of embarrassment.“Britney, just cross Daniel’s name on your list. He’s not used to dealing with emotions so you will really lose out. He’s also not romantic so you will be really bored. Aren’t you embarrassed if you have to set an appointment with me if you want to have intimate nights with him? Even if you managed to marry him, he will not acknowledge your marriage in public so no one will really know that he’s your husband. Trust me on this one, he’s been married for seven years now and yet no one knows about his wife. If you want to receive flowers, you will either have to plant it yourself or order it online to

She felt an inexplicable excitement hearing his deep and powerful voice. But her excitement was quelled when she heard Daniel speak.“I thought I told you to call my secretary for appointment?” Daniel asked without any emotion.“Well, I cannot reach Celine and your office suddenly went into company holiday. So, I thought I can call you again since you’re divorced now” Britney said sheepishly.Daniel heaved a deep breath to calm the rage he felt before replying again.“Ms. Smith, news of my divorce may have circulated but it doesn’t mean anyone can just call me for dates. I’m not that desperate.” he replied in a stern voice.“That’s not what I meant, Daniel. I just got back to the country and I have a project proposal. Knowing your work ethics, you wouldn’t let a good opportunity pass. I mentioned your divorce because I think your ex-wife will not be jealous anymore if we went f

Mom is feeling under the weather so Tiff is accompanying her for now” Aaron felt cold sweats appearing on his forehead. Never had he imagine that he will blatantly lie to Daniel one day.“Oh” was all Daniel could reply then ended their call.In that case, it’s best to rest early so he can reach Celine before lunch.He decided to leave some reminders to Oscar regarding the company’s affairs.“I’ll leave you in-charge, Oscar.
