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.

“Mother, Uncle Clint, I’m married” Celine Yates declared proudly.They’re supposed to have their scheduled family lunch when Celine greeted them with an ‘exciting news’.Other mothers would be thrilled to hear such announcement.But not Minerva Yates-Solomon.She has heard this excuse for as long as she could remember.“Okay, where’s your husband?” she dabbed a napkin to her lips to entertain the new-comer.“He’s abroad, preparing for our future” Celine said confidently.“Is he still the same man that you’re claiming you married from seven years ago?”“Or you have divorced and married another one?” Minerva did not fail to raise her left eyebrow.“Yes, same man” she quipped.“You know what sweetheart, it doesn’t matter. You will still attend the engagement party with Mr. Johnson”

“Shall we start?” an old man in the middle asked. When she looked at ‘Daniel Grant’ he was not even looking at her. It took her a while to recover. How is this possible? Has he forgotten about her? He looked a lot different now, yes, but she could not be mistaken. She took her seat still trying to figure out what is happening when she heard another voice. “Good morning, Miss Yates” she heard an old man in his sixties reading her CV. “Yates? Are you related to the Yates Holdings?” the oldest man in the group asked. Celine eyed the room and fixed her focus on the man in the middle. ‘He must be the one to please’ Celine thought of the old man. “Not at the moment” she said with a confident smile. She immediately got the attention of the rest of the people inside the room. “Who is Celine Yates? And why should we hire you?” the old man in the middle started. It is always a dread

When she reached her flat, she received an unexpected call.“This is Oscar Sands. Congratulations for being the latest member of 5Cattleya” she recognized the voice as the old man from the interview.She wanted to scream, but she waited for the rest of the news.There’s always a catch.“I’m sending you the formal job offer, if you agree with the terms, you can e-sign the contract and send it back to me” Oscar Sands said in a formal tone.Celine checked her email excitedly but her excitement was immediately replaced with contempt.‘Is this a joke?’ she thought.She immediately called back the number.“You’re hiring me for a double role but the basic pay is the same?” she started her query in a not so friendly manner.“Yes, but-“ Oscar was not able to finish his explanation when Celine cut him off.“If you’re asking so much, I

“Because dinner is very important. Anyway, sleep after that. I’ll buy you coffee” she said with finality.When she looked at Daniel the man was still not convinced.“Fine” she rolled her eyes then went back to the sofa.Daniel sat in front of her and brought her coffee.“I need someone to introduce to my mother so she will get off my back” she started.“It’s not formal. We can say we just started dating, nothing official. Just a one-time deal” she assured the guy.Daniel studied her worried face and he wanted to laugh.“What’s in it for me?” Daniel asked.“I’ll do one month overtime without pay” she said excitedly.“You don’t get to file overtime. Your contract says 24/7 secretary” he reminded her.“I’ll buy you a new coffee-maker” who would reject that?“All my appliance

All eyes were widened at her revelation.For full five seconds no one dared to make a sound.“Well mother, I’ve told you he is real. I hope you can stop arranging dates and marriage proposals for me” Celine said.“Thank you for your time, we’re leaving” she was about to grab Daniel’s hand when Daniel took a seat in the table.“I know it’s a shock” Daniel said smiling.It was a shock even for him.What happened to ‘nothing formal’, ‘just started dating’ thing?But he always manages his composure well.“Apologies, Mr. Stevenson for getting dragged into our family matters” Minerva said cautiously.“Celine, is this your attempt to avoid the lawsuit?” Minerva asked in a reprimanding tone.“Minerva, Celine’s matters are my matters” Daniel immediately interjected.“We didn’t kno

When she saw how serious Daniel’s look was, she could not help but snort.“Pbbfftt”“That’s funny” she gently removed his hands from her face.“Let’s go. Send me home. I’m so hungry” she pouted her lips as she sat in the passenger seat.“Don’t you think you should be pleasing me right now?” Daniel suddenly asked.“And why would I do that? I already owe you one favour. That’s enough” she said with a raised eyebrow.Does he think he can outwit her?“I don’t know, maybe I accidentally tell your Uncle Clint that I did not sign any marriage certificate”“Just maybe, what do you think?” he challenged her.She looked at the man in disbelief.They already made the deal.Would he back out now?“But you already agreed” she never thought Daniel would betray her.&ldquo

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 and I talked about what will happen tomorrow. Since we originally plann

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

When Daniel came back to their house, he received a call from his family.“Finally, you managed to subdue the Solomons” Aaron called him excitedly.“Yeah” he replied lightly.“Let’s have a drink” he invited.Living with the Stevensons for a while has greatly improved their relationship all thanks to Celine.“Bro, I’m sorry but I have to pass. 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. I’ll be gone in a few days. Call me in case of emergency, O
