When tomorrow came, Celine didn’t hesitate to meet Callahan. Though her hopes rose as soon as Callahan revealed on the call last night that he had an offer that was business-related, she still didn’t want to show Callahan that it disappointed her, and she wasn’t that interested at all.But the feelings she has for Callahan have been so deep that she doesn’t mind giving him what he wants from her. She doesn’t mind being in his world, despite the things she really wants.Dressed in a coat with an inner black dress that hugged her figure, Celine showed up in the restaurant. Callahan had told her where they would both meet up.And to see Callahan waiting for her, dressed in his usual office get-up, she realized how much Callahan had changed from his college physique to his manly stance now.Her heart was thumping when she walked toward the table, while Callahan stood as soon as their eyes met.“Celine,” he called as his eyes looked at her with fascination.The way Celine carries herself i

Celine is aware of how influential her family is. But to know that the big client Callahan was eyeing for how many months—he even ended up marrying her just to get the trust of Mr. Clarkson—she cannot believe that he is just one of her brother’s employees.“He works for Chance?” Celine elaborated, as she could not digest what Gaile had told her.“Mr. Clarkson is one of the board members of your brother’s company. Though he plays an important role since he also contributes heavily to the business of your brother, Chance is still the CEO.”Celine was mind-blown by how her brother seemed to be working thoroughly on his business. But she knew that out of all her brothers, it was Lucas who was the most competitive. She was a bit thankful that Mr. Clarkson was under Chance, though she could smell that once Chance found out what she was doing, she would be scolded for sure.“Do me a favor and tell Mr. Clarkson to approve Callahan’s offer. I want him to get him. Prioritize him,” Celine said w

Celine packed her things because she was so excited to go to Paris. Not because it was her first time—but because she was going to be with Callahan.She wanted to enjoy a trip with him because Callahan had been very busy for a few days since Mr. Clarkson approved him. It seems it motivates him so much to work that he sometimes forgets to rest—or even sleep. Celine wanted Callahan to relax, at least.They booked a ticket and rode an airplane—which was Celine’s first time as well—as she was used to their private jet and being alone all the time.Though they were sitting in the first class, it was still new for Celine to be not just with one—but more on a plane.She ordered some champagne like she used to do on her travels. Callahan joins her for a drink as they continue to discuss business matters.“I will direct you into the company since you already have your own share because the land is quite successful. You are hitting more than the target sometimes. It’s astonishing how you handle

What happened in Paris never left Celine's mind, despite being busy again because of their business. It was progressing with each month that passed.Callahan has been so hard working that it showed at night how he would spend more time in his office and would continue at his penthouse, as he would sometimes sleep late, and Celine would see him falling asleep in his seat.But that hard work paid off when their company hit one of the biggest sales that year, as they marketed a lot of products in different countries and got big investors as well.Celine knew that it wasn’t just Callahan’s hard work that made the business bloom; it was also her connection as an Everson that contributed greatly to the company’s growth.Callahan also gave Celine her own position in the company, a high-ranking position. It is okay for Celine despite the loaded work because Gaile would make things easy for her.Though she would think sometimes that it is unfair to Callahan, who seems to be working so hard, sh

Celine’s eyes landed on her hand placement for a while, arched her brow, and took it back to the documents, thinking that Natalie was just being friendly and that she was clingy to Callahan. But she knew the woman was trying to disrespect her.Though she was trying not to show any concern about it, it was perfectly fine for her, and she wasn’t making a big deal out of it, but deep inside, her words for Gaile later were already ready.During university, she was never curious about Coleen when that woman was a bit hostile toward her—unlike Natalie, who was pretending to be friendly—but it showed on the surface the way she looked at her and acted in front of her that she was trying to show off who she is in Callahan’s life.She implied that Natalie had a deeper relationship with Callahan than Celine, who was only married for business.“Please, Callahan,” Natalie said softly, pouting a bit and even leaning her chin to his shoulder as she childishly acted to Callahan, who seemed ready to s
