The soft pink dress that was Bryan's gift hugged her slender body tightly. The cut of the dress, according to Celine, was slightly altered on the chest. Making the appearance of the dress that was supposed to cover the chest, she made it look just like that. Seductive, showing off how God and herself take very good care of their limbs. healthy glowing skin and beauty and sexiness combined, making Celine so charming tonight.
“Isn't it too much?” asked Karen as she picked out one of the matching cardigans. “Oh my, nothing goes with this dress.” She had a headache of her own, because none of the outfits she had brought for Celine were suitable for tonight, le

“I didn't expect your choice of dress to be so far off in a color that I think... doesn't suit you,” Sella said with a faint grin. Her eyes had not been distracted from watching Celine who had just arrived. Although Celine was expected, the twenty-minute delay really made her feel annoyed.Apart from listening to a lot of pleasantries full of innuendo from Cristine, her sister-in-law, she also couldn't stand it because Byran had ignored her from the beginning. If not for wanting to mend fences with her husband, at least not until their divorce was legalized. Sella knew she had been foolish in her steps, to the point that her affair had been discovered by others, especially Bryan and Cristine.And this frustration, she poured out on Celine who had just arrived.

So how did Cristine

The nonsense conversation that was created at the dinner table, Celine could not help but participate in. Some of them mostly discussed her work and mentioned Jacob. Celine already knew the direction of their conversation but stayed on the line that she would continue to follow; not knowing anything other than coming and sitting here.“Do you know the purpose of this banquet, Celine?” asked Grace once she felt she could talk in a much more relaxed atmosphere. Their dinner was over and there was a delicious dessert. She had deliberately asked the chef at the residence to make it.“I don't know, I'm just following my heart's desire to see you again. You know, Aunt Grace, I don't have much courage to go home. At least just to alleviate the longing for the sweet memories of the past.” Celine smiled slightly. The tail of her eyes scanned everyone who had suddenly stopped talking. Even the presence of Matilda and the daughter of her cousin, whose name

Jacob's words just now made Celine stare at the man with interest. It was as if she had never seen Jacob before. “You... would do that for me?”Without hesitation, Jacob nodded. “I would do anything for you, sweetheart. Let's just say, it's all to make up for my past mistakes. You know, I really regret saying a lot of bad words to you.” The man stood up and walked closer to Celine, but before he could reach her side, Jacob said, “Mr. Edgar, before I put this beautiful ring back on your grandson, let me tell you something.”Since then, Edgar had been silent. Choosing to listen carefully to what was happening at this banquet. As long as it was within his tolerable control, Edgar did not need to voice anything. Everything he needed to say was already represented by Grace. But for this time, it was Jacob who asked and he had to respond.Smiling slightly, Edgar answered. “What is it?”“Let me make Celine La

Celine smoothed the corners of her lips that had been covered in bright red lipstick since the beginning. The line of her lips was thin but had a charming smile because there was a small dimple at the corner, making a friendly yet mysterious impression every time Celine showed off her signature smile.Once again, she made sure that her appearance was still as perfect as when she first arrived. Not forgetting to send a message to Karen, in half an hour the event would be over and they would go home. Celine didn't want to stay here too long.Although...“Are you serious about not wanting to stay in your room, Celine?” asked her aunt as she smoothed Celine's cheek hair a little. “Even though I'm sure that room misses its owner.”Celine smiled. “I can't possibly move things from the hotel to here, Aunt Grace. My schedule in Manhattan is so packed, I'm at a loss to organize it myself.”“You've grown into a beaut

“Are all Celine's boxes in the car?” Karen asked for confirmation. The maid in this luxurious house had gone back and forth several times to bring Celine's gifts and arrange them into the car.“I think this is the last box, Miss,” said one of them. “There are no more boxes for Miss Celine.”“Good.” Karen let out a long sigh. “They really are people who love to spend money. None of their gifts are cheap.” She checked her cell phone again in case there was a message from Celine, but since her last message saying she should get ready, there were no more messages. “Should I wait here?”But no, Karen at least could not wait where her eyes did not see Celine directly. Waiting was part of her job as an assistant especially when Celine was working in front of the camera, it was impossible not to check the results. And if the results are not satisfactory, Celine does not hesitate to ask for a reshoot

“What's going on?” Sella, who since her eyes caught the presence of Celine's assistant, felt suspicious. Originally, she just wanted to find a much freer air; it was quite nauseating at the banquet and she couldn't stand it anymore. If only she hadn't thought about her future in the Desmond family, Sella might have left this luxurious house long ago.It is not surprising that this house is designed and shown in such luxury, because the Langham name still has influence in some fields, especially politics. Langham's big name as the former president of Centralia is well known to the public. Had it not been for the past case, Sella believes the Langham name would have had even more influence. Even now, a Cristine Desmond wants to approach a family that is known to be active in socializing, especially among high-ranking state officials.This means that Cristine needs Langham's support to achieve her goal; Mayor of Manhattan. Even to the point of making an arrang

“Are you crazy?!”Bryan didn't care. He slightly pushed the body of the woman who had once accompanied his life violently. Ever since they had separated themselves from the commotion Sella had created, Bryan had not spoken at all. If Celine's assistant hadn't warned him, I don't know what kind of ruckus Sella would have made. And why did it have to be Sella who walked into the corridor on the right side of the mansion?Isn't that completely opposite to the banquet area?“I swear I will expose your relationship!” Sella shouted with a gasp. “I assure you that you will receive my vengeance, Bryan.”“It would be much better if you started thinking about your fate, Sella. I'm sick of being around you. The words you accused me of earlier should have been said to yourself.” Bryan closed the car door immediately, not caring if Sella's knuckles might get caught in it. He wanted to get to the hotel and get some rest.

Celine spun the diamond ring that had just been placed on her finger. The dazzling sparkle did not make Celine satisfied. The previous ring, which Jacob asked for back when his family was in big trouble, when compared to what he got tonight, was very different.“I don't need to check the authenticity, do I?” Celine giggled. “What happens if I pretend to lose it? I guess it doesn't matter because they can buy me something much more expensive than this. They have a lot of money.” She took the ring off and put it back on the nightstand.There were still three weeks left of her time in Manhattan. Before Celine got out of the car, Karen read out her schedule. One of them was that she had to give her hair a brown color as highlights.
