Celia looked up and saw Lilian and Quinn at the meeting room door.Lilian was in her forties, but she was still in great shape and looked as beautiful as ever. She was wearing a purple dress that made her look incredibly elegant. However, she was looking furious at that moment.Yardley did not come home yesterday. Quinn made breakfast early in the morning and delivered it to Yardley, but she came back with tears welling in her eyes.Feeling wronged, Quinn told Lilian that Celia pushed her when she went over this morning, making her fall over and spill the breakfast she prepared for Yardley. Celia also said harsh things to her. Not only that, but Yardley took a knife for Celia and got injured.After Quinn made an exaggerated complaint, Lilian got anxious. She wanted to call Yardley to ask about his injury, but she was stopped by Quinn. "Aunt Lilian, Yardley asked me not to tell you. He'll get angry if he finds out that I told you behind his back. Don't worry. It's just a superfici

Before Celia could say anything, Yardley hung up.As Celia heard the busy tone coming from the phone, she shook her head, feeling helpless.She had no idea why Yardley was looking for her again. He had been acting strange lately, always looking for her for no reason.Celia took the elevator to the 18th floor and went straight to Yardley's office.The door was ajar, and Celia knocked on it."Come in." Yardley's clear voice could be heard coming from inside.Celia entered the office and saw Yardley sitting on his chair. His jacket was lying on the couch at the side. He was only wearing a simple white shirt with two of his buttons casually undone, revealing the strong muscles on his chest. With his handsome features, he was simply a sight to behold.At that moment, Yardley's gaze was fixed on the computer monitor, and he was typing away on his keyboard with one hand.Celia was dazed for a moment. Yardley was known for being a workaholic, and it seemed that it was completely true.

"It's time for us to get going." Yardley got a little annoyed for some reason when he saw Parker's eyes glued to Celia the whole time. He then said goodbye to Parker and brought Celia into the private room.Celia sat down and tried to pry calmly without being too direct. "How do you know Parker?""We were neighbors when we were kids," Yardley said calmly."Are you very close?" Celia asked.Yardley squinted his eyes. "What's the matter? You seem like you're very interested in him.""Of course not," Celia quickly denied. "I just have a friend who's a fan of Parker's movies, and I didn't expect both of you to know each other. Now I can ask you to get an autographed photo from him.""Is that so?" Yardley smiled without giving a comment."Mm-hmm." Celia nodded, feeling a little sheepish.There was nothing going on between her and Norman, yet Yardley was very bothered by them. He even reminded her repeatedly not to forget that she was his fiancee.What would Yardley do if he found o

"The clothes I’m wearing …" Celia hesitated. She wanted to ask who helped her to get changed, but she just could not bring herself to utter the words.An awkward expression appeared on Yardley's face for a brief moment, then he cleared his throat. "Mrs. Lopez was the one who helped you get changed.""I’m sorry to have troubled her." Celia breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Lopez was Yardley’s housekeeper.Yardley's handsome and frosty features looked a little more under the orange light. "I had a doctor check on you; your blood sugar levels were a little low.""Alright …" Celia felt so embarrassed that she wished she could crawl into a hole. She fainted just because she was having her period. Since when did she become such a weakling? It was all Yardley's fault!It must have been because she had to wait upon him hand and foot last night, doing everything he ordered, that she slept late and was exhausted. He also kept rushing her to organize the meeting minutes and amend the proposa

Celia walked to the balcony, turning to make sure that Yardley did not follow her. She then picked up the call. "Parker, what's the matter?""Celia, I want to see you." Parker's voice was just like him, excluding a fair air of melancholy. Celia thought for a bit and agreed. "Alright. I'll meet you at Zeus Café at 10 am tomorrow."She also had lots of things to remind Parker of."See you tomorrow." Parker's voice sounded a little happier. Since Celia had said yes to meeting him, did that mean that he still had a chance? It so happened that the following day was the weekend. Celia left early in the morning as she was used to arriving early. However, Parker got there even earlier. Zeus Café was situated in the most vibrant commercial street of Ashvale City. It was a quiet spot in the bustling city, so it was a good area to relax.Parker was in his car, holding the steering wheel as he drove toward the commercial street.Following closely behind Parker's car was Willow's c
