Celine didn’t know what to feel about Callahan.She doesn’t know whether she wanted Callahan to have those kinds of attraction to her or whether she wanted the deeper one. As of that moment, she just found out that it was just a fleeting attraction he felt for her because he found her hot and sexy on that vacation.It bugged her mind that even when she went back to her room after their talk, it was still occupying her mind.She could sense how much she puts time into thinking about Callahan and the things he felt for her that she wanted deeper between them.Though she might be acting like she doesn’t care about those things and Callahan doesn’t affect her on deeper levels, she knew to herself that she was developing feelings for him.“Good morning. How’s your sleep?” Callahan asked as soon as she woke up and she found him on the table while having a coffee.The breakfast was already served when her mother woke her up, as Janna and Roel were now on the land for the harvest to watch the

“Be safe on your way home. Drive carefully." Roel conversed with Callahan as soon as the afternoon hit and they needed to go back to the city because school was starting again tomorrow.“Yes, sir. And thank you for the fruits,” Callahan said, talking about the fruits that were in the backseat of the car given to him by Celine’s parents.Roel nodded strictly. Janna hugged Celine while caressing her back.“Always remember that we are just one call away, okay?”Celine nodded and saw Callahan, whose hands were at the sides of his waist while waiting for Celine to be done bidding goodbye to her mother.“Okay, mom,” she said, pulling away.Janna kissed the side of her head and smiled as she pulled away as well and looked at Callahan, who nodded at Janna and smiled at her.“Be careful on your way back home,” she said.Callahan nodded as he opened the front seat of his car for Celine. He then jogged to the driver’s seat and slipped himself in while Roel and Janna watched the two as Celine wav

When the girls finally bid goodbye to Callahan as they occupied the other table and kept on glancing at them while giggling, Callahan didn’t really mind it as he was used to how girls mostly behave when he’s around, especially since he knows them. But Celine finds it somehow like she was being mocked.She knew what genuine mockery looked like. Though she hasn’t been mocked in her entire life because she always dresses so sophisticated and elegant when she’s at restaurants and parties, she couldn’t decline when Callahan invited her for dinner. She didn’t think her clothes didn’t fit in the five-star restaurant, which she didn’t really mind because she didn’t think that someone would make fun of her.Callahan shook his head with a smile on his lips as he found them funny while the food was already being served.“I can’t believe she dressed like that in this kind of restaurant. If I were her, I would be uncomfortable the whole time,” she said, hearing the whispers of Callahan’s friend wh

Celine wasn’t really bothered about the girls teasing and mocking her about how she looked, but to be complimented by Callahan, it was on a different level, that if he mocked her, she would get offended for sure.It didn’t leave her mind that even after they left, as the girls approached Callahan again, reminding him of the party tonight and that they would be coming over, Celine didn’t mind it since it was not her business anymore.“So... this is where your place is?” Callahan asked as he walked her to the door because he was insisting on it to make sure that she was safe.“Yes. Why? Planning to come over later and ditch your party for tonight?” Celine lifted her brow in a taunting way, and that made Callahan laugh a little.He shook his head and caressed his nape. “No, of course not. You needed a rest too.”Celine nodded slowly as if it seemed like Callahan was just excited about the party that was mentioned because the woman named Coleen seemed to have some intimate relationship wi

Celine cannot believe what just Callahan said. He was making time for her. When he went with her a month ago to the countryside where her parents are, she started thinking about why he was doing things for her. Though she tried to brush it off as Callahan is really close to the women around him and has seen it with her two eyes, especially since he’s quite popular in the university because of his physique and the way he socializes, she tried to stay on her line without overthinking things despite the attention Callahan would sometimes give her.But now that he was making another time for her, she couldn’t come up with another explanation for his actions now that Callahan materialized in front of the door of her unit when tomorrow came.Dressed in a dress with puffed sleeves, as she let her hair cascade down and half ponytail it, she saw how Callahan looked at her from head to foot as if she were an art he was examining.“Hmm. You dressed up for... a cafe... a study session,” he poin

She did her best during her examination because it marked in her mind what Callahan said on the note.She was so inspired throughout the exam that she was looking forward to knowing the result until she saw that she aced it with high grades.When she was in the corridor of the university and saw Callahan, who was looking at his phone while biting his lips, she was confident enough to walk toward him and approach him, which she hadn’t done since day one because Callahan was surrounded by his popular friends—with him as the spotlight—and she was hesitant sometimes.But that moment, as she remembered their continuous interaction, gave her the confidence to might as well consider him now as close to her because she felt like she had that part with Callahan as well.She was willing to smile as she wanted to appear behind him and surprise him, but before she could do it, her steps stopped as soon as she saw the familiar woman named Coleen, who ran towards him with an excited face.“Callahan

Celine was silent for a time while Gaile, on the other end of the telephone, waited for her decision.She was perplexed as to why Callahan went all the way to their countryside only to visit her, especially when she had heard him state that he was going to treat Coleen.So why is he there? Is he attempting to fool me? Why is he so persistent with me? Does he like me? That's difficult because he also likes other girls. He's probably just messing around.Yeah, right...She closed her eyes, and the next thing she knew, she was in their private helicopter, heading to the countryside. She cursed herself for being so willing to give in to Callahan as if she hadn't seen him with a female the day before.Consider how grateful you were to be her study partner since it gave you time to memorize the lesson, Celine.As soon as the helicopter landed near the ground, Roel met her so they could use Janna's excuse that she was with her father, who was visiting the market."Is he courting you, ma'am?"

It wasn’t just during the first year that she met Callahan that she felt he was giving her attention. Because when Callahan graduated and she was left at the university for her last year, Callahan kept in touch with her—not just a normal keep-in-touch, but Callahan would insist on fetching her after school.In his suit and tie, as he looked so gentlemanly, Callahan showed up outside the campus while sitting against the head of his Rolls-Royce car as he waited for Celine to come out.The girls in the school were gasping to see a man like him who seemed patiently waiting for his girlfriend to come out to school.“He’s Callahan Simmons, right? The son of the Simmons Corporation...” the girls started murmuring.“His family is influential, and I heard he is the one who will be taking over their company. Why is he here? I heard he doesn’t have a girlfriend. But why is he here?”“What if he was waiting for a woman? Someone he was courting at the moment?”“Who could it be? Perhaps one of the

When Celine graduated, the only thing that was on her mind was what Callahan had told her months ago during their dinner, when he told her that he had something to offer her right after she graduated.She was in the middle of the dinner with her whole family, and Gaile had organized a dinner for them to celebrate Celine’s graduation. Her father had canceled an appointment just to be with her.“So, what’s your plan, Celine?” Mr. Everson asked.Olivia, who was beside her, needed to kick her lightly just to pull her from reality because she seemed to be in a deep state.Her brothers, Chance and Lucas, were now looking at her meaningfully. Chance was a bit playful in his expression because of the smug look he was wearing, while Lucas wore his usual cold demeanor with those judging eyes.“Might as well travel?” Chance suggested as he knew how Celine is obsessed with travel, especially going to Paris, which she already made like her second home.“I’ve been doing it for quite some time now.

Despite the tremendously expensive gifts she received from her family, what she was only anticipating was the small congratulations from Callahan.She was looking at the time as it was already ticking, which was almost midnight, but she wasn’t asleep yet as she was in her room in their real house at the Everson Estate.Celine’s eyes were almost falling while she stared at her phone. She was already on the verge of just texting him, but she didn’t want it to shove into his throat that she was trying to get his attention.When her eyes were completely closed but as her phone rang, she immediately pulled herself up and looked at the screen of her phone and saw Callahan requesting a video call!She immediately got up, looked at herself in the mirror, combed her hair, made sure that her face was perfectly fine, and answered the call before it might turn off.“Oh, you’re still up,” Callahan said as he immediately showed the camera that he was in the office because he was still wearing his b
