"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
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
