He knew Celine was hungry, but he was reluctant to ask about her preferences, fearing it might end up annoying like the previous night. Eventually, he took Celine to a food stall on the Street.After parking the car, Zack gestured for Celine to enter. They chose a sitting mat to enjoy the spicy dishes they had ordered."Is it good?" Zack asked."Delicious," Celine replied, chewing her food eagerly.Zack was pleased to see his girlfriend eating so heartily. He even added some sautéed water spinach to Celine's plate."Eat more, Darling. Stay healthy.""I've eaten a lot. I'm full already. If I eat too much, I might get fat.""It's okay if you get a little chubby; you'll still be beautiful.""Flattery."They laughed. Such cheesy humor only brought them closer."Are you ready to meet Mom and Dad?" Zack asked."I'm not ready. But whether I like it or not
Another Love Awaits 36. Back to Work
It was 5:00 AM when Celine prepared to return to her home. She had already dressed casually and gathered her belongings.Remember, Mrs. Zack had prepared some souvenirs for Celine's parents. The woman in her fifties hoped to establish a good relationship with Celine's parents. Even if fate allowed, they could become family."Celine, I hope you marry Zack soon.

Zack will propose to you," Mrs. Zack said."Ehm, yes, Mom," replied Celine nervously.There was happiness within her, but on the other hand, she still felt unprepared.

Another Love Awaits 37. Emma's Plan
"Damn Celine! She's getting more arrogant. Taking leave whenever she wants. Others are struggling." Emma muttered to herself repeatedly.She had been envious of Celine's fast-rising career here from the beginning, even though Emma, with more experience and seniority, should have been more deserving.But it seemed like Celine's luck was better. Emma thought to herself angrily. She didn't care. She had to sabotage Celine's plan to become a supervisor. It wasn't even confirmed yet, and she dared to take leave, two days nonetheless. No one else was allowed to do that easily.Eventually, Emma's envy-filled mind pondered on ways to obstruct Celine's work. Something that would make her look bad in the eyes of the department head, Mrs. Jane, and the Head Supervisor, Miss. Tiffany.Even though Celine was genuinely liked by her superiors due to her hard work and intelligence, Emma decided she needed to do something to tarnish her image. Celine was the type who always planned meticulously in eve
Another Love Awaits 38. Being Slandered
"Wait, why are so many defective materials entering the Line?" Someone in the Line sewing materials was surprised when they executed their stitches and saw that the material they worked on needed fixing. There was a small hole that wouldn't pass the QC control later. "MISS Tiffany, take a look at this." The seamstress reported it to Ms. Tiffany. Ms. Tiffany was furious, especially after checking some that had already been sewn, and there were indeed several with defective materials. "So careless, Kylie!" Ms. Tiffany raged. Approaching Kylie and Celine's desks again, Kylie wasn't there, so Ms. Tiffany expressed her frustration TO Celine. "Look, there are many defective materials that entered the Line. How did this happen? Why wasn't it checked properly?" Celine examined a stack of materials already sewn in several places and found some defects. "This is strange; Kylie usually doesn't miss segregating defective materials. Especially not so many like this, Miss." Celine was not convi
Another Love Awaits 39. New Tactics
Emma finally faced significant consequences for her actions. She attempted to frame Celine by cutting materials with scissors, making it look like Celine was responsible for defective materials entering the Line.And somehow, Miss Tiffany, initially furious about the material check, turned her anger towards Line and began to rage.Oh no! Her mischief was exposed. Even though Miss Tiffany didn't know the culprit was Emma, she was sure it was Line's fault. To make matters worse, Emma, responsible for adding materials, was in charge of the damaged material exchange.This is a case of the tables turning, she thought, regretting her actions. Her intention to defame Celine had backfired on her. This only fueled her envy and hatred towards Celine. How could that girl remain untouched? Everything she had done to bring down Celine had failed miserably.She contemplated adopting a new strategy. She wouldn't disturb the girl's work anymore. Now, she would interfere with another aspect of her lif

She felt guilty for wanting to save Leo's number. Celine knew Zack wouldn't accept her reasons in any form when she decided to keep her ex-boyfriend's number."Are you going to save that number?" Zack asked, still with an unfriendly face."No. I'm not going to save it.""Don't let your words differ from your heart. You want to save Leo's number."Why are you like this?" Celine's heart began to heat up. Zack always seemed to be able to read her mind."Do you not trust me just because Leo gave his number to me?""I want to trust, but...""But what?""But your face doesn't show it.""Whatever!" Celine's heart was irritated. She didn't expect Zack to be so angry. The
Another Love Awaits 41. Another Conflict
Celine sat in contemplation on her bed. It was unusual for Zack not to send messages like he did that morning. Only a casual "good morning" was received from him. After that, he didn't send any more messages."Good morning, Dear," Celine greeted Zack through a message.No response. Celine continued to wait, engaging in her usual activities. Occasionally, she glanced at her phone screen, but there was still no reply. Throughout the months of dating Zack, he never let her be alone. If it weren't a morning shift, Zack would usually come to pick her up for a morning stroll or to buy chicken porridge.That morning was different.
