Ever since the departure of her best friend, who left in a rather suspicious manner, Giselle had not stopped worrying. Crimes can happen anywhere, right? Especially considering Celine's rising name. Crime is not only about physical harm, but also mental harm and threats.
Although it can be dealt with immediately. Justin wouldn't stay silent if it happened between them.
Celine turned her head but then chuckled as she leaned back. “Are you having fun?”
Giselle frowned. “You're this, ask me what and answer me what. I need answers from you. You have me worried.”
“I'm not going anywhere. I'm just sitting in the cafe provided by Hotel Alden anyway.”
Giselle still did not accept Celine's answer just now. “You know what my question means.”
“Just meeting an old friend.” Celine adjusted her seat again. &ld

Giselle's apartment was different from the one she lived in, but you know, Celine didn't care and had no envy. It was more than enough what Justin gave her. After all, she enjoyed the night living in this apartment that could be considered luxurious. Giselle's taste does give the impression of luxury as well as elegance, exactly what Justin has built for his image.Also this apartment was often used as a place to share their latest activities on social media-with the approval of SEO management of course. not just randomly they could post something without the agency knowing.“Are you sure you don't want to go to bed yet?” asked Giselle once again. her nightgown had been replaced with much more comfortable pajamas. Her face had also worn off the make-up that had been quite glamorous. Her hair, which had been in a high ponytail to match the dress she was wearing, was already down. although it was a bit messy but it seemed Giselle didn't really care anymore.

Ever since she was under the umbrella that Justin had opened wide for her, one habit Celine had picked up. but this only applied to other people. especially when that person had certain intentions for her. Which is clear, Celine will not let her time and herself meet for nothing. And one thing was for sure, she didn't like waiting. Instead, she delays the time to meet; with many reasons that she can come up with.Who doesn't know Celine? Busy and conflicting schedules are the most plausible reasons to postpone the meeting she has to go to. Without the SEO flag of course, because most of the meetings were for her personal interests.Including meeting with Jody Varens.“For the last time,” Celine muttered with a faint grin. Her white Porche was already gliding smoothly into the lobby area. At the Mandari Hotel, there was a restaurant that was their meeting place. fortunately, this afternoon there was no schedule that Celine had to go to. Except for ton

“I didn't expect you to pick me up.” Celine looked at the well-built man with a look of disbelief. Her phone rang just as the elevator doors opened, letting her know that he was in the lobby waiting for her.“Justin asked me to make sure you weren't late for your flight tonight.” The man looked at Celine intently. The girl's look was still the same; a little haughty and seemingly unapproachable. But once she got to know her better, Celine was not unlike Giselle who was too spoiled and when she sulked, the world came crashing down.“I won't be late,” Celine grumbled unacceptably. “Don't you have a job anyway? Supervising the training for the SEO juniors?”“If I could do it, I would have done it earlier.” Nico's hand extended to Celine who looked back at him confused. “Your bags and luggage, let me carry them.”“Gosh, that's not necessary.” Celine laughed. “Come on, I'

Jacob. D :I didn't expect to get your cell phone number, Celine. It's like getting a treasure, you know. Sounds like an exaggeration but I don't think so. By the way, are you still in Yazeran? Your agency told me that you're still engaged in cooperation there. I arrive in Yazeran tomorrow morning, I have something to take care of in the Yuen Peninsula. Can we meet? If so, I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up.The message came in while Celine was still doing some photo shoots. This was followed by a short interview for an exclusive magazine spread featuring the product she was advertising. Karen, the assistant who was asked to accompany Celine, only glanced at the message and put it back into Celine's bag.Celine's time in Yazeran was drawing to a close and there were no significant obstacles. Celine was very easy to work with. Maybe it was because she wasn't joined by her best friend, so she was a bit professional. But if the four pillars of S

Jacob was amazed, damn it wasn't just him who couldn't take his eyes anywhere else but at the figure of the woman who was descending the stairs. Her flowing black hair fell perfectly on her head, not to mention the additional accessories that matched the clothes she wore. Yazeran is rich in color but the choice of gold and red are two things that characterize luxury. Plus Celine's body shape is beautifully sculpted, showing curves that are seductive but graceful at the same time.Indeed, a super model like Celine Princessa is a magnet for many people, both men and women.“Celine is really outrageous,” Jacob cursed while putting down his wine carelessly. He stood up and got rid of some people who were suddenly in the way. Wanting to look further, Celine's figure suddenly became the center of attention.Coinciding with Jacob's attempt to be at arm's length, Celine smiled at him. It was very thin, but it made Jacob's heart skip a beat.“Am

“I'm surprised at the nickname that people have for him. What's the word? Successful young businessman? Handsome? Charismatic? Tsk!” Jody chuckled in annoyance. “He's a new player in the business in Centralia, just lucky to be asked to continue the movement of the luxurious Hotel Alden although I must admit, since being managed by Bryan, Hotel Alden has been on top. Besides being famous for its facilities and privacy concerns, the Alden is also spreading its wings far and wide. I heard that he is currently handling a reclamation project to create a floating resort on Hondu Beach. Do you know?”“I've never been there. But I heard that Hondu Beach is the third most beautiful beach in the world?”“Yes, you're right, dear.” Jody smiled meaningfully. “You want to visit there with me?”Celine replied with a faint smile. She was still not done listening to all the information about the new Desmond that she did

The scorching sun did not stop Celine from staying by Jacob's side. She occasionally responded to Jacob's remarks about the project. The construction of the Yazeran culinary market had received quite a lot of attention. Apart from the public, the Yazeran city government also fully supports it because it can be used as a new tourist attraction when visiting the city.“I feel bad for you, Celine,” Jacob said as he gave special instructions to his workers. He fixed the large umbrella that shaded the head of the girl who looked elegant in a floral print dress complete with a hat and heat-shielding glasses.“Why?” Celine's eyes were only focused on one point; the culinary market design plan posted on the bulletin board. It looked detailed and clearly illustrated if the work was completed later.“I should have taken you to a more comfortable place. Spend time together to become more familiar. Let's just say, I did it to make up for all my

No one knows when a bad day will appear. It usually comes without permission, and is often accompanied by embarrassing events. It depends on the individual who will make the event truly embarrassing or favorable.For Celine, it was both.Damn these feet and footholds that turned out to be as fragile as her heart. When she finished sitting and her business with Justin, she decided to catch up with Jacob. Not wanting to stay here too long, besides the dusty wind, the heat that was quite stifling and made her uncomfortable, she was also suddenly the center of attention.Actually, it didn't matter, but most of the workers there made him uncomfortable. Rather than throwing the shoes she was wearing at the group of people, Celine stepped aside. Unfortunately, as her feet treaded on the rocky area, her feet slipped. Making her body unsteady and falling... yet.“Are you okay?” asked someone who hadn't taken off his sunglasses.The rock Celine s

The news that the RoseGold group would build a health clinic in the district that was the first campaign destination, soon became widespread. Not only one, but even foreign media joined the news with Celine's face as the opening page. Not far from where she stood, the figure of Cristine, who was frowning and staring at a baby in her arms, joined the news that soon became the number one topic discussed.Including ... Yoseph Saturn, who immediately focused his attention on the news listed about Cristine's campaign. almost all the news links had the same core narrative; Celine was touched, unable to let many children and toddlers in the district grow up in poor health. And because of that, Cristine rushed to help. As a mayoral candidate, Cristine couldn't allow the people she was going to lead to be in poor health.But for Yoseph, all the news he had finished reading, contrasted with the reality he wanted. "What happened exactly?"The other person, Cristiine, frown

Exactly what Andrew was commemorating. The place they visited as the first day of the campaign that Cristine was scheduled to do, was quite terrible. It wasn't. The location was easy to reach, it didn't take long for them to arrive, it was just that as soon as they got out of the car a lot of cynical stares and displeased faces greeted them.The crime rate in this district is high, and the social inequality and economic problems in the area are the main sources. But Cristine's survey of the district could be used to increase her popularity because of the promise she made. It will surely garner a lot of sympathy and trust that Cristine can bring change to the district."The venue for the meeting with local officials has already been prepared," said one of the campaign teams Cristine recruited to help her find votes. Several other teams had already met with neighborhood residents. They handed out pamphlets and asked them, as representatives of one of the residents, to si

"How long until the news involving my name is finished with the media?" Celine asked casually. She was still using the comb in her hand to tidy up her hair. The styling of her long hair this morning was already complete. It only remains to give the impression of big waves at the bottom.This morning's schedule for Celine was to accompany Cristine on a campaign. The target this time was a densely populated area where there was a busy market. Getting the sympathy of the many people there, especially the minorities, was Cristine's priority during the campaign period."Your popularity is going up. Don't you have any gratitude for me?" Andrew's voice chuckled at the other end."Should I order a chocolate pudding as a thank you?""You're so annoying," Andrew grumbled. "But you still have to be careful. NewsPaper isn't going to let this scandal slide. If it goes away, I'm sure they'll spend a lot of money. You know, a scandal involving domestic disputes is too g

Jacob crumpled the report he had just gotten. His secretary seemed silent, not knowing what to do since everything her boss wanted to know, she had already given."Asshole!" cursed Jacob as he unhooked his tie immediately. "You better get out, Risa. I don't need you anymore.""Yes, sir."Jacob let the woman who worked for him rush out of the room. He needed to cool down the emotions that were already overwhelming him. His head was throbbing not because of pain but because he had a lot to think about how to keep his mother out of the news. Especially about Bryan and his divorce case. It shouldn't have anything to do with her mother, but the media wouldn't just sit around looking for gaps so that news about them continued to rise and go viral. Many people talk about them and create a lot of opinions, especially when it's campaign time."Damn it!" Jacob was really annoyed. He didn't care if the glass on his desk was now scattered on the floor. The glass shar

"Are you okay?"Celine had to put her cell phone away just to see if the person she was talking to on the phone tonight was really Bryan. No matter what, that type of question seemed very strange to Celine because of what had happened between them."You... seriously asking how I'm doing?""Am I wrong, Princess?"In the end Celine could only sigh softly. "The question should have been mine, Uncle Bryan.""I don't know why every time I hear you mention my name complete with uncle, all I want to do is put you under my control. I won't give you mercy until you realize that I'm not the person you should be calling uncle."Celine laughed softly. On the super large bed that she slept on, Celine took one of the pillows. Supporting her head so that it was not in a low position. "What if I don't care about your wishes?""Do you like being under my control?"Celine's eyes wandered far away. "I do, but I don't think this is the right time

Celine chose to enjoy her coffee cup. It didn't matter that almost all the eyes in the living room of the Langham residence were focused on her. Her arrival three hours ago was heavily guarded by the Desmond family's men. They even faked Celine's arrival in Manhattan just for the super model's safety."Is it true what's been reported, Celine?" asked Grace, holding back her frustration. Since the news broke and was widely discussed, Grace didn't know what to make of it. And she couldn't just say anything to the media who asked. Especially her niece's relationship with Bryan Desmond, who is the uncle of Jacob, Celine's future husband."My part is getting intimate with Jacob? Even escorted him home recently?"Grace clucked angrily. "Don't change the subject, Celine.""I didn't expect Celine to do such a disgusting thing behind our backs? Until now I tried not to believe it but the more, I looked into it, the more it became clear that it wasn't just hype. Am

Justin stared at his cell phone which was displaying the latest news related to Celine. His eyes were not distracted at all, only focused on the narrative contained in the news. The photo that was circulating did not show Celine and Bryan together in one frame. Even so, Celine's news immediately received an extraordinary response.Much more public attention than the intimate farewell between Celine and Jacob at the airport."Where did this news come from?" asked Justin, who had finished focusing on the news. He seemed relaxed about something that felt like it could be one of Justin's turning points."NewsPaper, Justin," informed Hans who had just gotten a profile of the mastermind behind the news that Celine Princessa had been dragged into. "What's this all about, Justin?""Are you sure you're asking me?" Justin laughed. "Has Celine arrived at Giselle's apartment?""I heard she has. Karen is in the training room, still talking to Brina.""Pl

"Do you seriously know what Jacob is doing behind your back?" asked Karen in an amazed tone. Her eyes sparkled brightly and her smile wouldn't leave her lips. Feeling so satisfied because Celine's words really hit Jacob. The proof was that the insolent man and his brain was formed from shrimp shells, could only be stunned. Letting Celine and Karen walk away."No," Celine said casually. Her steps were so light and she looked happy. Not because she was free from all of them, but at least Celine left a few unforgettable memories before they met again."But you look so convincing when you talk." Karen gaped. "I knew you had to be lying. Your informant must not be giving out clues at random. Right?""I'm serious, Karen. I don't know if Jacob did that. What I said was just made up. But I didn't expect his reaction to be as unexpected as it was." Celine giggled. "Oh my, so it's true that Jacob does like to have fun with many women.""I think you really know and

"We're always waiting for your return whenever you want," Grace said as she kissed Celine's cheek. Today was Celine's scheduled departure back to Centralia. Her niece's work in Manhattan was over. There were other jobs waiting to be done but Celine made sure that the campaigning that Cristine would be doing next week would not interfere with her schedule.Grace was sure Celine wouldn't go back on her word. After all, Celine's attitude after the meeting with Yoseph seemed to have changed. She was no longer so annoying and sarcastic. Or making Grace feel like this girl was completely out of control. Her return home since that night, was welcomed by Grace and they talked quite intensely about what Celine wanted.Grace still remembered what she had discussed with her father about Celine's sudden request. Grace couldn't understand how Celine could say such a blunt thing in public. Couldn't they talk in a more private setting? But what had already been said could never be ta
