When Celine tapped on her phone, she saw a smiley face emoji from Adam. She covered her face and screamed.

Back in the Cro’s office, Adam watched bas /bCeline’s chat window flickered with “typing” over and over. It went on for a few minutes before it suddenly stopped. It was as if she had given up, leaving the conversation in silence

The tension faded, and a simile slowly appeared on Adam’s face. He found it amusingb. /bbShe /bwas hard to tease

Adam’s thoughts drifted back to the screenshot, where she was wearing the red agate bne/b. Her beauty was enhanced by the delicate ne, whichplemented her graceful neck and highlighted her elegance.

Then, he remembered what her best friend had called him. His thoughts reyed Robin’s message.

“Celine, you really have him wrapped around your finger, don’t you? He just casually rewards you with a ne like that?”

Adam’s eyes darkened as the image of that night in the car shed in his mind.

He owned slightly, realizing that Celine was different. When he saw the red agate ne during his btrip /babroad, he immediately bought it for her.

Although they hadn’t crossed any serious boundaries yet, Celine was the first woman to serve him in this way. There was something different about how ba /bman feels about his first woman.

Just then, the door to the CEO’s office bopened/b, and Carly walked in.

“Adam, you’re back?” she bsaid/b, walking up to bhim/b.

Adam replied with ba /bcurt, “Mm.”

Carty sat on hisp, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Adam, where’s my gift?”

Adam besitated for a moment. He had bought a gift bfor /bCeline but hadn’t gotten anything for Carly. He hadn’t even thought about getting Carly a gift. Notining Carly’s expectant gaze, he replied, “I forgot Just tell me what you like, and I’ll have Leo get it bfor /byou

Celine was bnow /bNathan’s gutriend. What had happened that day in the car was her way of repaying him, and she didn’t want to owe him anything. bShe /bhad askedm not to approach her agai

He wondered bif /bshe was truly that eager to be with Nathan. Any man bwas /bbfine/b, but not Nathan.

Carly practed up to touch his face, gazing at him with deep affection. “Adam, have byou /bmissed me thesest few bdays/bb? /b

Adam pently removed her hand, signaling forberto get off hisp “I just got back. I have work to bdo/bb. /bbYou /bshould go now.”
