“What's wrong with Justin suddenly calling me?” asked Celine as she adjusted her seat to be comfortable. She also slightly closed the sun barrier which was quite hot today. fortunately, the road to her agency's office was monitored smoothly.“I don't know, Justin didn't tell me.” Nico continued to focus on the steering wheel. “It seems like something important. There's no way Justin would ask someone who should be resting in their room to come to the office.”Celine spluttered. “While I'm struggling with the schedule later, Shiro must not be neglected. I entrust my favorite to you.”“Yes, Celine. You've said that a thousand times.”“I don't exaggerate like that,” Celine snorted as she folded her arms. Nico's response was to laugh. Then the silence returned, no one spoke. Meanwhile, Celine's hands were busy fiddling with her cell phone. Seeing how her social media accounts are being handled by the management team. Celine only monitors and sometimes asks them to reply to some interestin

“That question should be mine, Celine,” Justin said with a long sigh. “Is there a story you're hiding behind your sprained foot?”Celine scowled. Putting down the report that turned out to be filled with embarrassing photos of her being carried bride style by Bryan. Oh, my God. She had no idea that there was a camera capturing this unpleasant, embarrassing moment that she wanted to wipe off the face of the earth. Really, although her desire was strong to get close to Bryan, but not in this way.“Nothing. I've given the real story.” Celine chose to lean back. “Where did your people get this picture?” she asked the guest; Andrew Kingston.“It was easy.” Andrew chuckled. Picking up the file that Celine had noticed earlier. “Even amateur photos like this have a high resale value. And reporters at The Collage always make the highest bid on top celebrity gossip. Including you.”Celine snickered. “You're such a Kingston. Exploiting weaknesses and stirring up rumors to feed the general public

“Andrew said to meet you at Justin's office.” Giselle took a bite of her apple. The other person, meanwhile, was peeling a lemon. On the kitchen table, there was already a juicer and a few other pieces of fruit. since being introduced to refreshing drinks that were so easy to make, of course, by Ruby. Who else often pestered them for healthy and refreshing food or drinks that could be easily obtained.And now, Celine is adept at making them. Coincidentally, the weather in Centralia today was quite hot and made the girl's thirst a little agonizing.“Did you meet him?” asked Celine as she put in the peeled lemon. She also put in the tomatoes and carrots that had been washed. “Don't eat the apple, Giselle.” Celine growled resentfully. “It's better with juice.”“It's better like this.” Giselle grinned widely. But she left the other pieces to Celine. She was sure the refreshing juice was enough for the two o

“Thank you for bringing Matilda here,” Bryan said with a sigh of relief. Also a cup of Caramel Macchiato that had been ordered at the hotel's restaurant. “I didn't expect my daughter to meet you.”Celine wagged her finger lightly. “Take it easy.” She looked down at her own cup decorated with swan-shaped cream. “Tell the barista I like pandas better.”Celine's words made Bryan laugh. The man had to wipe the corners of his eyes that were slightly wet with tears. “Alright, I'll pass on your message later. If you say so, can I assume ... you'll visit here again?”“I have no business here. My business is over as soon as that sweet, well-mannered daughter of yours walks into your room.” Celine took a small sip. Letting the creamer garnish spoil as she tasted the sweetness and creaminess of the drink Bryan had served her.“Thank you again,” Bryan said with a faint smile. His eyes

Celine's grip on the steering wheel grew stronger. She was also breathing hard as if she was being chased by a herd of wild horses. Bryan's words at the end of their conversation were still ringing in her ears.“Shit!” Celine cursed as she hit the steering wheel. Her mood was a mess. Totally. Celine thought today was the best day for her. She chose to pull over rather than have something bad happen that could create new problems in her life. Justin's warning about being careful driving Shiro was not a joke and Celine had promised not to do anything careless when she was behind the wheel.“Your and Jacob's relationship is back to the old days. I'm glad you're going to be a part of the Desmond family like we talked about in the past. Unfortunately, I was still busy with a lot of business in New York back then.”Celine could not hide her shock. She was clutching her handbag so tightly that she didn't fall over at the crazy news that came out

“You missed the fun this afternoon,” Giselle said as she welcomed Celine. She was about to bombard her friend with the many exciting stories of their time at Sula's house. Including Sula's newly renovated study.Sula and her hobby of embroidery surprised Giselle and Ruby. They didn't expect that an Ursula Lancome, who was more often than not annoying and only knew how to work as directed, would have such a unique side.“Are you the only ones with skills? I do too,” Sula said proudly. While telling some typical items of professional embroiderers. Including one large cloth that was being embroidered on the edge.Because of Sula's expertise, Giselle and Ruby agreed to ask their best friend to make scarves in each of their favorite colors. One that they would wear in the winter even though they would be separated by distance and activities. Sula didn't agree at first, but Ruby knew best how to get her to comply.“Ruby's baked pot

Celine squirmed reluctantly. The light coming in between her curtains began to disturb her but she didn't care. Her eyes were heavy with sleepiness. I don't know what time she fell asleep but clearly, her head was dizzy. Maybe she cried too much just like in the past; falling asleep without realizing it. When she woke up, her head felt heavy and her eyes were swollen.But Celine could no longer close her eyes. The noise outside had disturbed her and chased away her sleepiness. She blinked to focus on the clock on her bedroom wall.“Ten o'clock apparently.” Celine, who was still reluctant to get up, covered herself again. The voices were getting clearer. Some of the voices were dominated by a voice that Celine recognized; Ursula. Celine heard many protests from the red-haired girl. especially regarding her favorite baked potato.Also the voices of Ruby and Giselle who participated in the commotion today.“They really are the noisemakers.&
