Chapter 105
Hailey flashed an ambiguous wink at Celine and remarked, “Celine, your husband is pretty amazing this time.”
Nikki was shocked. “Celine, is Mr. Alvarez truly your husband? Are you married to him?”
Hailey nodded. “Celine is indeed married to him.”
Nikki was astonished. She grabbed Celine’s arm and exclaimed with a hint of jealousy, “Celine, you’re so blessed.”
Celine’s smile reflected a whirlwind of emotions as she grappled with the true essence of happiness. Lying on her bed, she picked up her phone and navigated to ” Honey” in her WhatsApp chat. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to send a short message.
“Thank you.”
After a while, her phone buzzed with a message from “Honey“. Adam’s response was equally brief.
“How do you want to thank me?”
Celine curled her fingers and did not reply to his message. She placed the phone under the pillow and closed her eyes.
The following day, Nikki arrived at the Alvarez Group, situated in the heart of Mercity’s most affluent district.
The company’s towering building punctuated the skyline, serving as an emblem of wealth, prestige, and influence that took her breath away.
She entered and approached the receptionist. “Hi, I’d like to see Mr. Alvarez.”
The receptionist inquired politely, “Do you have an appointment?”
“I didn’t, but Mr. Alvarez knows me.”
“I’m sorry. You need an appointment to see Mr. Alvarez.”
Nikki’s disappointment was palpable as she turned to leave. Just then, a group approached. Adam was walking alongside the company’s senior executives, each sporting a blue badge. He was holding a document while speaking to them.
She rushed over excitedly. “Hi, Mr. Alvarez.”
Adam paused to look at Nikki. He didn’t recognize her. “Who are you?”
“Hello, Mr. Alvarez. I’m Celine’s classmate. Thank you for helping us last night.”
Adam looked at her and slowly started to remember who she was.
Nikki looked stunning today, adorned in a beautiful dress that elegantly showcased her graceful legs. “Mr. Alvarez, I can’t thank you enough for rescuing me and Celine. Please accept this as a token of my gratitude.”
Nikki joyfully presented the gift bag to Adam.
Adam stood tall with long legs. “Did Celine send you?”
“No, I came here alone. Celine went to the hospital early this morning to accompany Mr. Lynch,” Nikki replied innocently.
Adam was momentarily stunned.
“Mr. Alvarez, I handmade this…”
Adam’s expression turned cold as he commanded, “Don’t come again.”
After that, he left. Nikki froze in place.
The receptionist approached promptly. “Madam, we kindly ask that you leave the premises immediately.”
Nikki’s eyes were swollen with tears as she clutched her bag, which held the handmade knitted scarf. Yet, Adam didn’t even spare it a glance. After being pressed by the receptionist, she had no choice but to leave.
As Nikki stepped outside, she spotted an MPV pulling up. Emma Brown, a renowned celebrity in the entertainment industry, made a grand entrance into the Alvarez Group. She was surrounded by a group of assistants and bodyguards.
Two female employees inside were chatting when one exclaimed, “Is that Emma Brown? She’s the most recent celebrity to be promoted by Universal Entertainment, which is the subsidiary of Alvarez Group.”
“Once she joins Universal Entertainment, it’s nearly impossible for her not to be famous.” “Why don’t you just say she can own everything if she marries Mr. Alvarez?”
