"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

Jacob flung himself onto the soft sofa in his living room, impatiently. In his hand was the cell phone that he kept gripping with annoyance. "Damn it!" he cursed impatiently.I don't know how many times he had tried to contact the person who should be in charge of some of the final projects he was working on. Jacob was supposed to be in charge, but the final approval was in the hands of Bryan, the head of the RoseGold group. As long as Bryan was in charge, Jacob couldn't do much. He has to wait and wait for his business to run smoothly.And at such an important time, Bryan could not be contacted easily. Maybe it's nothing compared to suddenly, Jacob was handed several files that he didn't really know the origin of the project. It was only a glimpse, but Jacob was held accountable for some important decisions. When Jacob checked, there were several things he didn't really understand. Jacob should not take the wrong step.Because of that, Jacob needs input and vie

"Can you not make me go crazy?" Karen asked with her eyes wide in disbelief. Her hair was a bit messy due to the rush once she knew Celine had returned to the main house. Honestly, Karen hadn't changed into her pajamas or even washed her face. Just to make herself presentable because there were many servants in the resort and Bryan was sitting at the end of the dining table.The breakfast that was served in front of them also looked so tempting to eat that there was nothing left. Unfortunately, Karen needed an explanation from Celine and the man she was now giving a razor-sharp stare to. "And you," she accused without excuse. She didn't hesitate at all, nor was she afraid that Bryan would suddenly become angry or unhappy with Karen's brash behavior. "I'm not going to let you stay near Celine!"All Bryan could do was smile slightly. He didn't want to respond to Celine's assistant's ramblings, but Bryan knew that what he had done last night with Celine had gone a bit too

"Let me know when you arrive at your destination," said Bryan, who had a hobby of smoothing Celine's hair that fell on her cheeks. "You look so beautiful today."Celine rolled her eyes in annoyance. "So I wasn't beautiful all this time?""Always beautiful actually but unreachable by me. You can only see it in the media."Celine gently brushed away Bryan's hand that was still playing with the ends of her hair. "I'll get scolded by Karen if I talk to you here for too long. You still have other things to do, don't you?"Bryan nodded languidly. "Cristine requested an impromptu meeting this afternoon. Even the commissioners were invited to come and discuss. I don't know what they want. But I think I know what the discussion will be about.""Is it related to the transfer of power from you to Jacob?"The man smiled slightly. "I think so. There are some projects that do require concentration. And it also seems that the Hongdu project will be the las

"Are you sure the address is right here?" asked Celine with a look of disbelief. Meanwhile, Karen was busy with her cell phone and making sure that the sharelocation Justin had given her really did stop here."Yes. It's right here." Karen got out of the car, looking at the building which was quite old but still well maintained. Celine followed in Karen's footsteps who had already gotten out of the car. "I'd better call Justin first.""If we get to the wrong place, I will punish you, Karen," Celine said as she put on her sunglasses again. It wasn't for nothing that she wore eye protection, Manhattan was quite hot today. The sun was shining so dazzlingly but somehow made Celine excited. Luckily, she chose cotton-based overalls and a hat wide enough to block the heat."Punishing me?" sneered Karen as she fiddled with her cell phone. "You want me to spill the beans about what you did with Bryan in front of Justin? Oh... obviously! I'll gladly do it."Celine s

"I didn't expect you to get a leak like this," Richard said with a big laugh. "Did you ask why Laura was helping you?""I don't know." Celine shrugged. "The only person who communicated with Laura was Karen. I still hold the title of being an ignorant guest in that house, wanting to be served like a VVIP at a top hotel and without interruption. And has a sadistic mouth and childish behavior."Justin could only shake his head as he enjoyed his cigarette. The billowing smoke was no longer ignored by the occupants of this spacious room. It was on the third floor, where there was a meeting room with very adequate facilities. This included the presence of waiters who were always ready to help them if they wanted anything.They had to thank Fania for making this place available. Allowing her art building to be used as a temporary place to meet. Not on a continuous basis as it would create suspicion that could be picked up whenever Grace wanted. The choice of this plac

"How was work?" asked Grace, who was now sitting casually in one of the gazebos available in the back garden. The news of Celine's return two hours ago made her decide to put her business on hold to meet her niece.Of course, the purpose was not just to ask how she was doing. But to make sure Celine was still following what she wanted. Grace got a lot of information about Celine's trip, which was mostly about work and how the girl socialized. Indeed, sometimes Celine asked to be taken to a cafe to meet her friends. But that was very rare considering her full and absolutely suffocating activities.It felt like Grace should lower her guard on Celine because there was nothing to worry about. Celine was just out to work, like a busy photo model without thinking about her personal life including her partner. And because of that, Grace began to put on a cheerful face to welcome her.Because Celine is the only hope to realize her desire to continue to be in the top pos

"I didn't expect you to fulfill my invitation," Cristine said with a happy look. In front of her, Celine sat quietly enjoying the wine that the woman served. Lunch wrapped in the interest of the campaign that would take place soon, Cristine would not waste all the news."Can I refuse, Tante?" Celine said with a wide smile. "After all, my beloved wants a long-awaited meeting. Is that right, dear?" asked Celine while winking meaningfully at the man in front of her.It seemed that the man was a little out of sorts especially considering what Celine had asked him a few days ago. "Yes, I guess it is.""Is my lover hiding something?" asked Celine with an astonished look. the wine that was her share was already half left. This time there was no need for compliments about the taste of the wine that ran along the tip of her tongue. She knew that the quality of the wine served at this lunch was quite famous. And Celine was used to enjoying wine of this quality."No
