The news today is mostly about Celine's words and her shy behavior with Jacob. It was flooded with congratulations because their love story was epic to follow - the story of a long-lost, unrequited love, a secret admirer, who was suddenly reciprocated. But many also have doubts because Celine is currently at the highest point. Many of the questions were directed at Jacob Desmond.
And because of that, Celine was amused. Especially since since morning, Karen has been supplying her with various comments coming from Celine's fans in the comments column of Jacob's account.
"I wonder, if Celine wasn't a popular model, would Jacob Desmond still accept Celine's love?"
"Jacob looks good, he deserves to be with Celine. I congratulate you on your relationship. Take care of our Princess always."
"I'm sure, if Celine wasn't the current Celine, Jacob wouldn't accept her anymore. Celine was just a grain of dust in his eyes. But now? Celine is like a star. Lucky Jacob."<

On the way to the set, Celine chose to enjoy her apple peel. Occasionally noticing the bracelet that Grace had given her this morning. the pearls as decorations in between the gold bands were woven so perfectly, they fit perfectly around Celine's wrist. "Grace always knows the best quality. I wonder where she got such an expensive gift."Karen, who had been watching the worksheet on her tablet screen, while occasionally shaking her head in wonder at Celine's childlike behavior, could only say, "Don't you have a similar bracelet? I remember you got it from Mr. Johansen at the banquet one year ago."Celine spluttered. "Don't you remind me of that old man with many wants." But then, Celine smiled cheerfully. "You know, the most expensive quality pearls in the world come from the South Sea? They pay attention to every detail of the Pearl making process which takes quite a long time. Once they have enough and know when the harvest is best, the pearls are selected in various qualities. And

The filming process that Celine underwent did not encounter any obstacles at all. If anything, there were only a few and they were quickly overcome. Mostly because the weather was quite windy. Making shooting a little constrained. Some of the properties that were supposed to be used had to be ensured that there was no danger to the models who collaborated.And as Celine predicted, her arrival was immediately greeted with congratulations because the news spread in the mass media so widely. Not infrequently, Celine also received special congratulations addressed directly to her agency. But for the time being, Celine could only respond with a friendly smile.So that the charade continues to go well. As if the announcement of her relationship with Desmond's family made her happy."I didn't realize you were from the Langham family," Tia said. One of the models who participated in the same filming process as Celine. Although Tia's part in the process this time was not too much, but for a ju

One time... Celine still ignored.Twice... Celine chuckled in annoyance.Three times ... Celine couldn't help but answer the phone call that was directed at her."I told you, my cell phone should be off," Celine said with an annoyed look in her eyes to Karen. Although Celine was on a break after such a fun photo shoot, it didn't mean she wanted to interact with her cell phone. Especially the cell phone where Jacob often contacted her.Karen just grinned innocently. "You better talk soon. It's not good for Jacob to know anything about you. He might get even more suspicious."Actually, Karen's words had a point, but Celine was most reluctant if she had to hear Jacob's voice and deal with the man. It was enough that in front of many cameras she acted and acted, even though she was originally very disgusted and did not want to be too close.But ... never mind, Celine had no choice but to swipe the green icon that appeared in the background. "Hello, darling," she said, smiling brightly. Ev

"Are you still upset?" asked Bryan as he glanced at the girl sitting casually beside him. The choice of clothes that he thought so reflected how Celine looked like, made Bryan not satisfied just looking at her for a while. But what else could he do, he couldn't drive in a distracted state.He might crash into a divider and end up in the news."A little," Celine says with a long sigh. "Karen does go too far sometimes.""I guess she does worry about you."Celine just shrugged in response. "Is it far enough away? We've been through this hilly area for almost half an hour.""Just a little more."Celine frowned. "I'm not a Matilda you can lie to."Bryan laughed at that remark. "Speaking of Matilda, next week is her first performance on the school stage. I hope she's not too busy with meetings.""You should come, Bryan. A child's main support is their parents. No matter how busy you are, if you can spare the time, Matilda will never forget it in her life."Bryan listened carefully to Celine

Karen stretched out her arms. Inhaling the air as freely as possible because it was so fresh and soothing. The breeze of the afternoon plus the view of the orange-colored sky, really spoiled the eyes. She had changed into more casual clothes, sitting on one of the chairs available in the back garden area. She tightened her woolen cardigan slightly as the temperature began to drop. "It's different for rich people to buy a house to rest in," she said as she sipped the coffee she had just made. "Um... it's delicious. Especially the snacks provided in this house. Gosh, maybe if Celine asked me to stay here for a week I wouldn't mind."But... Karen spluttered. "It's delicious." The coffee she had just savored tasted a little, placed immediately on a nearby table. "I might get scolded by Justin's boss." She quickly took out her cell phone and checked her notifications in case there was a message back from her boss. Thankfully, there wasn't. The last piece of news Karen gave Justin

"I don't know why I remembered what Justin said the other day," said Celine who was already sitting on the edge of the grill. She had a tool in her hand to spread butter before putting the ingredients on the grill.Meanwhile, Bryan made sure that the grill and the fire were not too big. Besides being dangerous, he also didn't want to disappoint Celine by overcooking the food. Seafood is best eaten with the right level of doneness. The waiter prepared various seafood ingredients ranging from squid, shrimp, grouper, to lobster for tonight's meal."Which words?" Bryan gives the girl his attention so she doesn't think he's too busy with other things."You're quite famous in business circles.""Oh my," Bryan chuckled. "I didn't think you'd remember that. I thought it was something else you remembered."Celine rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I know what you're thinking."When he had had enough, Bryan sat down in his own chair. "You can spread marga

Karen repeatedly checked the clock around her hand. I don't know how many times she had also paced in front of the villa's main door and hesitated to call Celine. It was late, even though there was nothing scheduled for tomorrow but Karen had to make sure that Celine had enough rest."You're not asleep yet, Miss Karen?"Karen jumped in surprise. As soon as she saw who was reprimanding her while she was waiting for Celine, she chuckled in annoyance. "You startled me!""I'm sorry, Miss Karen. I'm on duty tonight to oversee the resort and the security around. Including the main door and gate. I'm a little surprised Ms. Karen hasn't come in yet. Do you need anything?" The maid looked surprised and a little scared because Karen looked so surprised. But she herself had no idea that Karen was still outside and seemed to be waiting for someone. Was there going to be another guest tonight?But who? Her boss, Bryan, didn't say anything except for his sudden arrival

"I'm quite curious," Celine said as she fixed her seat. Using a thick carpet and a blanket that she took from inside the tent. There was also a pillow so that they could talk comfortably. Celine had no intention of spending the night just sleeping in the tent.Indeed, tonight what Bryan said was true. The sky was thick but studded with stars that were clearly visible, glittering in the sky with a close distance from each other. but believe me, it was a mirage of distance. The stars are definitely far apart from each other. It's just that their lights take turns giving beauty up there.The coffee cup was already cold. Celine herself was in no mood to ask Bryan to make it for her. It would have been different if he had provided a cold cola. Maybe Celine would not hesitate to ask for glasses because her craving for cola could not be stopped easily. Even though there are many health slogans and the importance of maintaining the level of sugar and calories entering the body
