"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
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
That night—for the second time—Zack and Celine's date didn't go smoothly. Zack was still furious about the presence of Celine's ex-boyfriend. His chest tightened at the thought of Leo giving his phone number to Celine and Celine accepting it without any objection.Meanwhile, there was a sense of uneasiness in Celine's heart. 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
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. Celine started to feel uneasy because, by 8:00 AM, she hadn't received any replies from Zack. Celine called Zack several times but got no answer. Zack's behavior made Celine agitated all day. Her heart was restless. Once again, she began to think of unfounded thoughts.Celine smiled happily when the metallic blue car arrived at her house around lunchtime. She knew
Since Leo's arrival at Celine's house, everything changed. Celine and Zack still maintained contact, but they never met again. Zack went back to his home in Manhattan.He decided to calm himself while continually convincing himself that Celine was the right choice for a future wife.Celine's chest occasionally tightened, restraining the overwhelming longing for her boyfriend. Zack was not much different. He was tortured because he didn't get to see Celine's face even a bit.Celine picked up her phone. She wanted to send a message to Zack. However, pride overcame everything. Since they stopped meeting, Celine was the one who initiated messages more often. Sometimes, she had to wait a little longer for Zack's reply.Now, Celine wanted to wait. She just wanted to know how far Zack would go for her. What she had been waiting for finally came, even though it was only through a video call. Celine was so emotional that she cried uncontrollably. Oh, how she missed Zack, who constantly stroked
43 – Lily, The ExZack stood up. He and the woman who had greeted him earlier now faced each other. Zack was impressed by the beauty of the woman who had once touched his heart. He was very nervous. However, he managed to compose himself, remembering Celine."Uh, hi, Lily.""Hi, Zack. I thought you were out of the town.""No. I rarely go there.""They say you have a girlfriend there?""Yeah. Uh, please, have a seat.""Uh, okay."Shortly after, they engaged in conversation. Lily and Zack reminisced, recalling when they were still in school, remembering their friends, and even reminiscing about their past relationship.They laughed together and regretted their naivety at that time."By the way, are you alone? Where's your husband?" Zack asked.Lily sipped a glass of orange juice and told him about her fate and her husband, "We've separated.""Meaning... divorced?""Yes.""And your kids? How are they?""I entrusted them to my mom.""How long have you been separated?""Quite a while. Abou
Celine had arrived. She quickly stepped aside and took out her phone to summon an online taxi. That afternoon was different from usual. The weather was quite dark, and the air was cool, bordering on cold. Rain started to fall, dampening the earth.After waiting for a while, the taxi arrived. Celine immediately got in and chatted with the driver. Celine's face was radiant. Her heart was happy, imagining her reunion with her lover after weeks of not seeing each other.Celine stared at her phone. She then opened W******p, replied to messages from her friends, and opened Zack's name. She couldn't resist contacting Zack, but Celine tried to restrain herself.From the beginning, Celine had planned to go to Meatball Hits. Afterward, she would call Zack and tell him she was already there. The girl couldn't wait to imagine Zack's surprised face and their date for the umpteenth time.That day, Celine also planned to belong entirely to Zack. Regardless of whether they would go home at night, Celi
Celine reluctantly followed Zack's mother's request to stay overnight. Coincidentally, she was very tired. Celine even planned to take a day off from work the next day. However, she didn't want to talk to Zack. She had been upset about his behavior since Lily's arrival. The anger intensified when she saw Zack sitting face-to-face with Lily.That night, Celine sat with Zack on the house terrace. For a while, they remained silent, busy with their thoughts."Celine," Zack called. "Can I explain something?"Celine didn't answer. She remained still and didn't look at Zack at all. Her heart was still furious, feeling betrayed by her lover."About the woman you met at the stall ... you misunderstood. I have no relationship with her."Celine stared into Zack's eyes with intensity, making the man uncomfortable."I don't care!"Zack sighed roughly."Celine, forgive me. I know I was wrong. I waited to inform you for several days because Leo came to your house. I know. I realize now that I was wr
