Immediately the front doors opened and a man came out introducing himself as the manager.

“Hello ma'am,you are welcome!” He said,

”Thank you so much,”she answered.

He opened the door of the restaurant and she went inside to be greeted and welcomed by other staff members.

“Thank you all,”Celine said, smiling,“it is good to be here and I hope I will get your maximum cooperation.”

“Yes ma'am,” they all chorused.

“I would not need an office," Celine chuckled,"my office would be the kitchen.”she said.

After she had vomited a bit she felt a little better.As she showered, she thought back on what she had eaten at the auction.But the food was very nice, what would have made her throw up that way? She thought.She came out of the shower to the room, heading for the wardrobe.“Well maybe the food didn't go well with my system,” she said aloud to herself.And who is talking to herself this morning? Is it something I need to worry about? What didn't go well with your system?” David asked.Nothing Celine said, you don't need to worry dear.”“Are you going to the office today?”Celine asked.No, I gave myself a little break today,” he said.“I want t

    "What?” Celine said, looking at him with astonishment.“Why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?”“I have my suspicions,” he said.“What happened between you and Arabella that day? were you arguing?”“Yes we were, and it was all about her closeness with David.” Celine said.“You see and since you said you felt an impact, as if someone pushed you,it was definitely her because there was no one there at that time.” “ Yes I knew someone pushed me that day,but I just can't say who because I was closing my eyes then.”‘So as David asked her what happened after the whole episode,I saw that she was nervous.”Celine said.“But since no one saw her in the act,she got away with it.”Celine said furrowing her brows.“That was why I ended my relationship with her,”Ray said.“I found out there was nothing she wouldn't do to have David back and that they were sweetheart's at
