Chapter 11 Photographic Memory

Celia organized the files and categorized them. Her ability to retain information was exceptional. One could even call it a photographic memory. Celia knew which specific data she needed to work on after grasping the contents of the files in her mind. Then, she got to work. The process was a bit long, but it wasn't difficult for her. She mastered it, and her speed increased as well.The sound of her tapping away on the keyboard drew the attention of her colleagues, who whispered to one another."Woah, she's lightning fast on the keyboard. I thought I was fast enough, but I definitely can't compete with her.""I assumed a country bumpkin like her would be oblivious to these things, but it seems like she's quite good at her job.""Yeah, have you noticed? She was also very efficient at work this morning. She isn't completely useless despite her rural origins. She wouldn't have become Mr. Hughes' fiancée otherwise. I heard Mr. Hughes Senior was the one who chose her. There's no w

Chapter 12 She Is Afraid of the Dark

Celia was tidying up her belongings when she received a call from Sabrina. "How much more time do you need to finish?""I've already finished.""What? Are you sure you've checked it thoroughly and there are no issues?" Sabrina couldn't believe Celia had completed the task so quickly.Celia patiently replied, "I'm sure. I'm hanging up if there's nothing else you need. I'd like to get off work.""No! You can't leave yet!" Sabrina suddenly raised her voice.Celia stopped in her tracks. "Why?""I just received a call from Mr. Carver. He said that there's another set of data that needs to be included. I'll bring it over to you right now, so stay where you are.""Then you can email me the data. It'll be too late if you come over here.""No can do. The data is quite complex. You haven't worked with it before. It'll be disastrous if you mess it up. Just wait for me. Don't be impatient. I have already reached home, but I still need to rush over to work overtime with you. What do you hav

Chapter 13 Where Did Celia Go

"It's already 11 pm, and Celia still hasn't returned. I wonder where she went off to."Yardley overheard Quinn's words when he went downstairs to get a glass of water.Lillian added, "As expected of a country bumpkin, she lacks common sense. Her lifestyle is also inappropriate. I can't imagine where she is at this hour!"Yardley found it strange at first. Then, her attitude toward him the day before crossed his mind. The strangeness faded.What she did had nothing to do with him.Lillian raised her voice. "Yardley, Celia's behavior might not be a big deal, but it'll be troublesome if word gets out and tarnishes your reputation. After all, a lot of people have seen her and recognized her as your fiancée. "It would be best for you to annul this engagement as soon as possible. Let her go back to the countryside and leave our house. Who knows what problems she'll cause if we let her stay? You never know with these things. We might be held responsible if something goes wrong.""Gran

Chapter 14 Her Phobia

"Celia? Celia!" Yardley scooped her up into his arms and gently tapped her cheek. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"Celia's brows were scrunched up, and she muttered, "It's so dark … Don't go … Don't …""Dark? Oh—she's afraid of the dark!" Realization dawned on Yardley. His heart softened as he suddenly recalled the little girl who was also pale with fear in the darkness, huddling close to him. An inexplicable sense of compassion arose in his heart."Don't be scared. Everything's okay now. I'll take you home," he said gently.Celia's trembling visibly lessened after hearing his words, but she continued to mutter under her breath. Yardley couldn't understand a word she was saying, but he was more focused on getting her out of there. "It's okay. Don't be scared. I'm here," he kept comforting her along the way. He sat her in the passenger seat and noticed that she was still clutching onto his clothes. Yardley decided to take off his coat and drape it over her. He couldn't help but f

Chapter 15 She Looks Somewhat Familiar

Yardley was fed up and turned to leave. He ran into Quinn as soon as he stepped out of Celia's room. Quinn also noticed Celia lying on the bed before the door closed. "Yardley, why'd you come out of Celia's room at this hour?" she asked.Yardley ignored her and walked away, which further piqued Quinn's interest. "Did you spend the night in her room? What did you guys do?"Celia was annoyed by Quinn's incessant chatter this early in the morning. She scratched her hair and got up to freshen herself in the bathroom. Celia was well aware of her own condition. "I must've looked awful last night. I can't believe I let Yardley see me in that vulnerable state. Now he probably knows about this weakness of mine. What if he mocks me in the future? I wish the ground would open up and swallow me whole! It's all Sabrina Xanthos' fault! I won't let her get away with this," she thought.Celia tidied herself up and went downstairs to the dining room. Yardley immediately set his cutlery down an

Chapter 16 Admirers

Celia brought the stray dog to the vet before she could dwell on that thought. Even though she rushed to save the dog, its front leg had been injured by the car. Celia realized she was going to be late when she checked her wristwatch. She called Yardley after giving it some thought."What's the matter?" A deep voice came from the other end of the phone."I have something to attend to, so I'll be late—" Yardley cut her off before she could finish her sentence. "You don't need to tell me about such trivial matters." Then, he hung up on her. Celia pouted. "He sure is as cold as a block of ice. It's almost as if he refuses to utter another word to me. Forget it. I've already requested a half-day off," she thought. Celia had the veterinarian conduct a thorough examination of the stray dog. Fortunately, its injuries were minor and nothing too serious. "Can it stay in the hospital for a few days?" Celia had some reservations.The vet smiled and said, "Of course."Celia paid two

Chapter 17 Being Impartial

"I have something to discuss with Mr. Hughes, Shirley Baxter." Sabrina glanced at the woman in red before returning her attention to the man who was the center of attention.Celia remembered where she had heard of that name then. Shirley Baxter was the head of the Design Department at Velvet Touch Jewelers, a subsidiary of Hughes Inc. Shirley was appointed department head at such a young age because the Baxter family had connections with the Hughes family. "I also have some things to discuss with Mr. Hughes. Do you not understand the concept of 'first come, first served,' Ms. Xanthos?" Shirley grumbled. Yardley leaned back into his seat and frowned as his cold gaze swept over Celia. "Didn't she call me this morning and say she had something to deal with? How did she end up looking so disheveled and let Sabrina drag her over here in anger?" he wondered. He handed the design draft to Shirley. "Go ahead and implement the changes.""Yes, Mr. Hughes." Shirley nodded and accep

Chapter 18 A Familiar Scent

Sabrina clenched her fist. "I'm sorry," she said reluctantly.Celia perked up her ears. "What did you say? I couldn't hear you clearly."Sabrina could only raise her voice and repeated, "I'm sorry!""I don't want to see something like this happen again!" Yardley's cold voice carried an overwhelming sense of authority that made Sabrina flinch.The latter glared menacingly at Celia after leaving the CEO's office. "This country bumpkin is smarter than I had imagined," she thought. Sabrina fell right into Celia's trap and made a fool of herself in front of Yardley at that time. She vowed to seek revenge for this humiliation. She would undoubtedly make Celia pay for everything she had gone through that day!Celia stayed behind at the end of the day to double-check the data Sabrina had given her before heading back. The former was about to hail a cab after she stepped out of the Hughes Inc. building when a black Rolls Royce pulled up next to her. It was Yardley's car. "Get in the

Chapter 19 Stolen Ring

Nope? In other words, she was not the girl who saved him many years ago. Yardley's gaze dimmed at that thought. Celia pursed her lips and felt weirded out by his demeanor. "What is he getting at? Was he hoping that I had been kidnapped before?" she wondered.Silence ensued for the rest of the drive. Lillian handed Yardley an invitation after returning home. "Mr. Xanders Senior's 70th birthday celebration is this weekend. Don't forget." Percival Xanders, Willow's grandfather, held his birthday banquet at the opulent Cerulean Crown Hotel in Ashvale City, and those in attendance were all prominent and influential figures.Celia had never been a fan of such gatherings, but Lillian rudely woke her up early that morning. "Don't you dare embarrass us!" warned Lillian. Celia was bored out of her mind even though the banquet was in full swing. She glanced at the man who was the center of attention in the crowd. She then stood up and prepared to go to the rooftop to get some fresh

Chapter 20 A Plan

"Is that so?" Celia asked. "It appears that Willow has set a trap for me. I'd like to see what she has in store for me since she wants to accuse me of stealing," she thought."What happened?" Percival asked with a frown. To be honest, he didn't believe that Yardley's fiancée would steal anything. Still, he had no choice but to believe it because his granddaughter was certain, especially when there was an eyewitness. "Here's what happened. Celia happened to pass by as Willow was showing us her diamond ring. She had seemed very interested in it. She also stared at it for quite a long time," Lisa stepped forward and said. Celia was dumbfounded. "When did I ever like that diamond ring? When did I stare at it for quite a while?" she wondered.Lisa paused before continuing, "Then we went to dance, and Willow took off the diamond ring and placed it in her bag. But the ring was missing after we had finished dancing."Willow stifled her excitement and added, "That's right. We searc
