Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 86 The Primax's Banquet
At noon, Celeste had lunch in Damon's office.Under his supervision, she had some oatmeal and some plain food. After that, Celeste said she had no appetite and quickly left the dining table.Damon had ordered himself a plate of spaghetti. After finishing it, he casually gulped down the remaining oatmeal in Celeste's cup.Staring at him on the sofa, Celeste felt her cheeks flush red again.Damon was known to be a clean freak. She was surprised to see him calmly devouring her leftover food.The office had good lighting, and the sofa was comfortable. Before long, Celeste felt drowsy.Soon, Damon carried her to the lounge."Remember to wake me up at 1:30 pm," she mumbled."Alright." Damon pecked her lips.When Celeste woke up and went to the 15th floor to work again, the attitudes of her colleagues had changed drastically compared to the morning.They treated her with utter respect.But Celeste acted like nothing had happened.Not long after, it was about time to leave work.

Primax's banquet brought together hundreds of guests.It created an opportunity for suppliers and buyers to meet each other. It was also a prime occasion for many entrepreneurs to expand their connections.Hence, everybody was smiling and engaging in conversations. They looked like predators on the hunt.Megan was pulled away by her business partners to talk. Celeste took the opportunity to explore the place and gather information about the event's organizers.It was said that Primax was a significant construction company in the southern market. They had just expanded their business to Taverdale this year.Celeste had tried to search for more information about them on the internet but found nothing much.It wasn't an easy task to identify the main character in such a large gathering. Celeste found a corner with a good vantage point and sat down to observe her surroundings.Suddenly, a young boy in a white T-shirt and baseball cap waltzed in. He was carrying a backpack.It was s

"Mind your own business!" the young boy said.The teenage boy, who was half a head taller than Celeste, stood up and effortlessly grabbed the bottle.However, as he tilted it, more than half of the champagne spilled out and drenched Celeste."Oh no," Celeste quickly reached for the tissue box on the table as those upstairs watched.Celeste helplessly looked at her soaked gown.The host hadn't even arrived, and her dress was already ruined. She regretted meddling in the first place.The young boy was also flustered. He looked at her apologetically."I'll take you to change into something else, and then I'll buy you a new one," he quickly proposed a solution."Oh, there's no need," Celeste hurriedly refused.She couldn't let a high school student spend money on her."Just stop drinking, be a good boy, and drink more milk to grow taller. I'll leave now."She wanted to go to the bathroom to clean up. However, the young boy grabbed her arm."I have plenty of money. I can afford

The wine stains spread out after soaking in water. It was impossible to clean. Celeste tried several times but had to give up.So, still in the T-shirt and shorts, she found an empty corner to stay in until the event ended. Her attempt to intercept ended in failure this time.On the way back, Megan spotted Celeste in the young boy's outfit and curiously asked, "What happened? How did it go?""Forget it, let's just go home," Celeste sighed.At 10:30 pm, Celeste returned to the villa. Damon had already changed into loungewear, sitting in the living room waiting for her."Still up?" Celeste was a bit annoyed by her unsuccessful mission, so she greeted him and headed upstairs."Whose clothes are you wearing?" Damon knowingly asked."I got my clothes dirty, these are Megan's," Celeste casually lied."Megan wearing a hand-painted Superman T-shirt and men's basketball shorts?" Damon frowned. Her lie was too unconvincing."Sorry," Celeste avoided eye contact with him.She really didn

The next day, Celeste handed the clothes from yesterday over to Edna for cleaning and went to work with Damon as usual.To her relief, Damon surprisingly didn't inquire further about the origin of the clothes."See you later." She bid Damon farewell at the elevator."Mmm." Damon kissed her cheek and let her go.Given the crowded morning elevator, a goodbye kiss felt unnecessary.Yet, Celeste thought Damon's extra support from yesterday was to make her work experience better.Initially, she valued Prestige highly. However, after these days, she realized the company culture and employee standards weren't exceptional.Prioritizing her work and contributing innovative design ideas became her top priority. She no longer cared much about others' opinions of her or their relationship.The design department had other interns with tasks similar to Celeste's. Despite everyone knowing about her connection to the boss after yesterday, she maintained her usual approach.She continued to re

"You don't need to explain. I understand," Winston interrupted her."Oh, we picked a dress for you. Not sure if you'll like it," Winston said as he took out a big bag from behind him.The brand name of the gown blinded Celeste momentarily.She had seen that bejeweled dress at a fashion event before. Its market value was in the tens of thousands of dollars."It's too valuable. I can't accept it," Celeste immediately declined."Try it on at home. I think you'll like it," Winston insisted as he handed the bag to Celeste.She hesitated to reach out and take it."Ms. York, please, just take it. I don't have any friends here. If you accept it, you'll be my first friend," Wish said, taking the bag and placing it in Celeste's arms."Wish really likes you, and we can hang out more in the future. If you need anything, just message me," Winston added as he looked warmly at Celeste.Celeste felt a warm glow in her heart."Are you here on a business trip?" Celeste asked, setting the dress

Damon found the extravagant gown Celeste had placed in his office to be rather bothersome.Since he wasn't too busy in the afternoon, he took a photo and shared it in their group chat."Wow, that's romantic. You managed to get one of Valentino's latest diamond-studded gowns. You're really going all out for Celeste," Nicholas remarked."It's a peace offering from Winston to Celeste," Damon replied curtly."Oh, that ... isn't necessary, is it? If his son dirtied Celeste's gown, the best way is to compensate her with money."Considering Winston's wealth and status, it's strange for him to personally pick a gown and send it over," Nicholas voiced out Damon's thoughts.Moreover, Winston's gaze today hadn't strayed from Celeste.Winston had seen all kinds of women, and Damon didn't think he would have any improper thoughts about Celeste.If he managed to find his way here, he should know about his connection with Celeste.It might be so that the Belasco family matched or even exceed

Damon spent an entire afternoon at Winston's office. Just before leaving, he retrieved the dress Winston had given Celeste.On the way home, Celeste felt troubled as she noticed the dress untouched in the back seat.She decided to confide in Damon in the end."This dress is too extravagant. Although it might mean nothing to Mr. Belasco, for me, it's bringing a lot of pressure. I should find the right moment to return it.""The Bishop family has everything. What's one dress compared to that?"But remember, you're Mrs. Bishop now. You can't just accept gifts from anyone," Damon advised."Hey, this is just an apology gift from Mr. Belasco because Wish dirtied my dress. Are you jealous?"Celeste sensed the tension and playfully wrapped her arms around Damon's neck."Your jealousy is reasonable. After all, I'm so charming and beloved by everyone. Am I right, darling?" Celeste teased as she nestled closer to Damon.Damon, fed up with her antics, lifted her onto his lap. "I know you

He never would have imagined that the intelligent and aloof Celeste would have a day like this, appearing adorably naive and innocent.Damon used to like girls who were delicate and pure, but that changed when he met Celeste.She had a face full of charm and allure, but her expression and personality were always cold and unyielding. She was pale and slim, yet not childlike. On the contrary, she resembled a young poplar tree, proud and upright.Because of her, he began to like girls who sparked his desire to conquer, and he scoffed at those who were simply weak and shy.But now with Celeste like this, he didn't feel annoyed. In fact, not only was he not annoyed, he actually found it cute and interesting.“What's your name?” she asked again."Damon.""Oh, that sounds really nice."The initial confusion in her eyes was gone, replaced by a sparkling glimmer, and her tone carried a touch of a young girl's excitement."You are actually my husband… Wow, great job, me! I've managed to

"What? Aren’t you my husband? Do I still need to avoid you while changing clothes?" The confusion in Celeste's eyes didn’t seem fake.Damon was speechless and didn't know how to respond at that moment.When Damon didn't respond, Celeste suddenly felt a bit nervous."I'm sorry… I can't remember clearly. Aren't you my husband?"Damon raised an eyebrow casually and asked, "Why do you think I am?"Celeste innocently blinked, her eyelashes fluttering like fans. "The nurse said it. Besides, if you're not my husband, why would you sleep with me at night?""What did the nurse say?" Her reasoning was actually logical and undeniable. For a moment, Damon found it somewhat amusing."The nurse said that my husband is really thoughtful," Celeste responded seriously. Then she asked, "Aren't you my husband? Then why would you be willing to stay here with me so late?"This one sentence left Damon speechless.The reason he was willing was because he was a coward. He said that he didn't care abo

Damon frowned upon hearing the classic amnesiac questions being asked."Celeste, are you trying to act out a TV drama?"Celeste still looked at him blankly. "What do you mean?"Damon didn't answer and went straight to the director's office to get Nicholas.Knowing her, she wasn't the type to joke around, especially not with Leo still missing. She must have hit her head hard.Nicholas was equally surprised and hurried back to the room with Damon.Celeste was sitting up, hugging her knees and staring into space."You're awake? How do you feel?" Nicholas asked with a smile as he entered."Why am I here?" Her voice sounded hesitant, and she turned to look at them.Her confusion seemed genuine. Nicholas and Damon exchanged worried glances."Celeste… you don't remember?""Celeste?" She asked, "Is that my name?""Yes.""I don't remember. My mind is blank.""Do you remember… Leo?" Nicholas hesitated. After all, if she knew that her child had been missing for three days, he was wo

"Alright," Celeste said in a deep voice. "Let me see Leo first."They pushed open the hidden door, revealing a staircase leading to the basement."Have Leo come to the stairway corner." She stood at the dark staircase and negotiated with the kidnapper."Mommy!" Suddenly, Leo's desperate cry echoed from inside."Leo!" Celeste ditched everything else and rushed down the stairs.She ran ahead, and as soon as she reached the corner, there was a loud explosion, and a wave of heat hit her face."Celeste!""Celeste!"Damon and Winston's faces changed drastically, shouting in alarm.The basement was empty. It was a trap.Had they been more careful, they would have noticed that both the kidnapper’s voice and Leo’s cry were artificially synthesized. But Celeste, in her desperation to save her son, had been too frantic to discern this.The basement was rigged with landmines. Unfortunately, something went wrong. The mine exploded when Celeste reached the stairway corner, instead of when

What? Damon was also coming? Celeste felt her heart leap, and her voice became sharper as she said, "I can handle this. You can't come!"There was no response from his end.Observing Damon’s silence, Celeste quickly softened her tone. "Damon, listen to me. I can handle this alone. There's no need for you to get involved… because I'm their main target, and they likely won't harm Leo. You need to stay home and wait for him. You need to take care of him later on…""Celeste," Damon interrupted coldly. "Are you planning on not coming out alive?"Of course, coming out alive would be ideal, but she couldn’t guarantee that."Damon, I do have a chance of surviving, but when it comes to exchanging myself for Leo, there can be no room for error. We must follow the kidnapper's instructions to ensure Leo's safety."It was out of the question to provide a false sense of security and pretend to comply with the kidnapper, only to backtrack and get Leo killed.She needed to ensure Leo’s safety a

They checked all the surveillance footage near the Bishop residence and investigated every suspicious vehicle. They also had people keeping an eye on Henry, but after half a day, there was still no breakthrough.The kidnappers had taken Leo to threaten Celeste, and the lack of communication was meant to unnerve her. If it was according to predictions, she was supposed to wait for their demands. But, as a mother, she couldn't just sit and do nothing.Celeste remembered that Shannon had called her, so she found her contact in the blacklist and called."Shannon, did you and Henry kidnap Leo?" she demanded.Shannon laughed coldly. "Don't accuse us without any evidence. Your son is missing? Maybe it's karma. Hahaha!"Celeste hung up, unable to stand Shannon's smugness.Several teams searched for over 20 hours, even involving the police, but still had no solid leads. Celeste suspected Henry, but they couldn't just arrest him without any proof.She was extremely desperate. She didn't e

"Lester isn't as clever as Leo. He's just a four-year-old child, and he shouldn't have done anything like that," Serena instinctively defended Lester. Then, recalling the last time she had misunderstood Leo for similar reasons, she felt a pang of guilt and added, "I don't mean to imply anything… I'll have someone bring Lester here."Celeste nodded. "I'm not blaming Lester. I just want to understand what happened."Soon, the nanny looking after Lester brought him in. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Celeste, Lester burst into tears."Aunty Celeste, please don't hit me. I didn't mean to lose my brother!""Lester, I just want to understand what happened." Celeste was taken aback by his crying but kneeled down to speak gently. "I'm not blaming you. Can you tell me what you saw that day?""Aunty Celeste, don't hit me!" Lester kept crying, not saying a word about Leo's disappearance."Am I that scary, Lester?"At this moment, Celeste felt at a loss. She could communicate normally with Leo,

Celeste perfectly understood what Cedric's implied. "I mean, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to entertain me today."Cedric had indeed wanted to help her that day, but his identity was too special to admit it openly. The scratch on the paper was a subtle hint, and whether or not she could interpret it depended on her intuition. The fact that she could decipher such a subtle hint proved her intelligence and luck.Over the years, Cedric had developed a sense of respect for Celeste after learning about her. He felt she was deserving of assistance, but he couldn't make it obvious."However, be careful. I see that Henry is at the end of his rope and might act irrationally. You should be on guard," Cedric warned.Celeste nodded, having considered this as well. "Henry wants me dead."This was why she had her brother stay abroad and sent Leo to the Bishops. With only herself remaining, it was harder for Henry to use her loved ones against her."Take care of yourse

Celeste's deduction was correct. Cedric intentionally left the mark. As Winston dug deeper, he slowly uncovered a series of issues.It was a bridge project on a highway in a poor mountainous area. Not uncommon.The problem was that the person in charge of this project was a leader assigned from a first-tier city to oversee the development. Officially, he was recognised for his capabilities, but in reality, this task was one he had to succeed in without failure.He had offended someone, and this transfer was a disguised punishment under the guise of a major responsibility.If he had managed it well, the chances of him returning to a higher development role would have been slim. At best, he could stay in this position until retirement. If he didn't manage it well, his entire career could be ruined.Someone of such status naturally had supporters as well as opponents. In such a situation, it was impossible for anyone to sabotage and create pitfalls along the way."It seems the next
