Was he seriously making a dirty joke?
Just like that, he had steered the conversation straight into dangerous territory.
Her face instantly flushed red. “You’re such a despicable man!”

After that, Adam strode into Alpite Pharma with his long legs. He said in a casual tone, “What made you think that I was despicable? Celine, could it be that you’re the one thinking about something inappropriate?”
Celine was left speechless.
This man dressed like a gentleman, carrying himself with an air of sophistication, but in reality, no one was worse than him.
She had no interest in continuing the conversation and simply followed him inside.
Before long, Owen McCormick, the director of Alpite Pharma, hurried over. “Mr. Alvarez, what brings you here so late at night?”
He wasn’t even on duty tonight, but after receiving Adam’s call, he had rushed over from home.
Adam said, “I brought someone in for a pregnancy test.”
Owen asked, “Who?”
Adam stepped aside, revealing Celine behind him. “Her.”
Owen’s eyes widened in shock the moment he saw Celine. His pupils contracted sharply as he gasped, “Y–You-”
Adam glanced at him and asked, “Mr. McCormick, do you know Celine?”
“I–I…” Owen stammered.
Compared to his panic, Celine remained perfectly calm and composed. “No, we’ve never met.”
Cold sweat beaded on Owen’s forehead. Tonight was completely unexpected. Two titans in their fields had arrived at Alpite Pharma at the same time, catching him entirely off guard.
Adam said, “Mr. McCormick, go ahead and issue the order for the pregnancy test.”
Owen replied, “Yes, of course. My office is this way. Please, follow me.‘
Adam walked ahead into the director’s office. When he turned his head, he noticed that Owen was trailing closely behind Celine, practically fawning over, her, as if terrified she might trip or bump into something. “Ms. Tate, please, this way.”
Meanwhile, Adam, who had received no such treatment, stood there in silence.
The world was becoming stranger by the minute, turning into something he could no longer make sense of.
Why was Owen being so respectful toward Celine?
Celine stepped inside and said, “Mr. McCormick, just do as Mr. Alvarez instructed. You may issue the order for a blood test, and I’ll take a pregnancy test.”
Owen nodded swiftly. “Of course, I’ll get it ready right away.”
Without hesitation, he prepared the test order.
Adam reached out to take it, but before he could, Owen had already stepped over to Celine. “Ms. Tate, the blood test station is this way. Allow me to escort you.”
With that, he led Celine out of the office without a second thought.
Owen had completely forgotten about Adam, leaving him behind in the office.
It was Celine who finally remembered him. She stopped, turned around, and looked at him. “Mr. Alvarez, why aren’t you coming?”
Adam fell silent.
Owen suddenly smacked his thigh as if just realizing his mistake. “Oh, right! Mr. Alvarez, please, this way.”
Adam still didn’t say a word.

The atmosphere felt a little strange. Breaking the silence, Celine said, “Mr. McCormick, you should give the test order to Mr. Alvarez. He’ll feel more at ease if he personally takes me there.”
“Sure! Mr. Alvarez, here you go,” said Owen.
Then, he handed the test order to Adam with both hands.
Adam took it, then turned to Celine. “Let’s go.”
After that, Celine followed him out.
Owen was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead behind them.
Was she pregnant?
If she was really pregnant, a child of hers and Adam’s would be nothing short of extraordinary. (2
