Chapter b325 /b

Celine felt like she was being put on the spot. She couldn’t help but wonder what Adam was up to. Did he really want her to call him by his name? He must be toying with her again.

She shot him a fierce re, but Adam remained unbothered. He smiled, as if in a good mood.

Just then, a melodious ringtone broke the tension. It was Celine’s phone. She quickly stood up. “Everyone, enjoy your meal. I’ll be right back to take this

call

Celine stepped out binto /bthe hallway to answer the phone. It was Perry calling.

Celine answered, b“/bPerry, bI’ve /bjust arrived in Mand. I’ll be heading back in a couple of days.b” /b

“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Perry replied.

As Celine turned around after hanging up, she walked straight into a warm, solid chest.

bShe /bgasped in shock. Her phone slipped from her hand, tumbling toward the groundb. /b

Celine hastily bent down to pick it up, but before she could, arge hand reached out and caught it midair.

As she looked up, Adam’s handsome face filled her vision. How did he got here?

She quickly said, “Mr. Alvarez, give me back my phoneb!/bb” /b

Coline reached for the phone, but Adam raised his arm higher, keeping it just out of her reach.

it back!”

Celine was frustrated. She stood on her tiptoes, trying to grab her phone from him. “Mr. Alvarez, that’s my phone. Please give it

Adam was much taller than her, and even though she bwas /bon tiptoe, he continued to look down at her with his dark, steady gaze. “I can give you your phone back, but only if you call me Adam,”

He was really making her say it.

Celine tilted her delicate face upward, giving him a firm look. “I won’t call you that. I don’t need your helpb, /band I’m not going to work for yourpany.” Adam smirked. “So, you don’t want to work?

He understood why she hadn’t worked these past bfew /byears–she had been talding care of him. However, he couldn’t understand herck of intention t work in the future.

Celine refused to reveal her true situation. She looked at him and said, “I’m not like you, Mr. Alvarez. You graduated band /blisted your firstpany. As for me, I’m just a housewife, and I’ve been out of touch with society.”

She was putting herself down.

Adam couldn’t tell if she was speaking the truth or not. Her eyes sparkled with intelligence, like stars twinkling in the sky, making it impossible not to be captivated.

“So, what are your ns for the future?” Adam asked.

Celine gave a sly smile. “What ns? Maybe I’ll fall in love again and get remarried. If my second marriage happens to be with someone like you, I’d make sure the divorce settlement is generous enough tost me a lifetime,” she teased

Adam reached out and gently held her delicate chin. “Celine, I’m not joking with you.”

“I’m not joking either. Let go of me,” Celine said, trying to push his hand away.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached. Randall and another senior walked by, chatting. “bRandall/b, I didn’t expect Celine to have been married. Are you still nning to pursue her?
