“Yes, it’s what Mrs. Tate Senior and Mrs. Tate ordered. This is a seductive scented candle,” the other maid replied.
“Looks like tonight, Ms. Carly and Mr. Alvarez will finally make it official,” said the first maid
“Just wait. Soon enough, Ms. Carly will become Mrs. Alvarez ”

“That’s not all. Even Dr. C stayed over tonight. He’s probably going to seal the deal with Ms. Tracy. Mrs. Tate Senior hasn’t stopped smiling Those two grandsons–in–law are her treasures.”
“Just wait and see. The Tate family’s golden days are just beginning
The two maids walked away.
Celine had overheard every word of their conversation. So, Sonia and Lucy planned to light a seductive scented candle for Adam?
She remembered the last time Adam had been at Tate Manor, when they had used the same scented candle on him. The effects had been mild, and he had managed to fight it off.
This time, however, the seductive scented candle was far more potent, the kind that was nearly impossible to find on the market. It seemed Sonia and Lucy could no longer wait
Should she warn Adam?
Nevermind. Her long lashes lowered over her eyes. It wasn’t her place to meddle. After all, Adam had always loved Carly. The seductive scented candle was just an enhancement for them
Celine glanced at the brightly lit Tate Manor, its windows glowing with festive light, and lanterns lined every corner. Then she turned and left. Her solitary figure disappeared quickly into the thick fog of the cold night.
In the bedroom, the maid had already delivered the seductive scented candle. Carly sat on the bed while Adam handed her a glass of water. “Teeling better?”
Carly nodded. “Yes, much better. Adam, my heart’s been acting up these past few days. Luckily, we found Dr. C. He’ll fix me soon enough.” Adarn’s sharp, handsome face remained unreadable. “It was Tracy who found Dr. C?

“Adam, have you started liking Celine?” Carly asked suddenly.
Adam’s steps faltered.
“You know why I sent those photos to Willie, don’t you? Because a woman’s intuition is never wrong. It seems like you’re starting to feel something for her!” Carly said.
Adam’s dark lashes lowered briefly as it shielding his thoughts. He loosened his tie, his fingers pulling at the fabric around his neck. He felt a bit warm. The sensation hit him like a wave. Heat surged through his body, burning and relentless, and his starp, narrow eyes turned crimson with an unmistakable hint of desire.
Something was wrong. Ada immediately recognized it. His hand shot out to open the door, and outside stood Hayden and Lucy. They had been waiting outside the whole time.
“Mr. Mr. Alvarez ” Hayden and Lucy smiled nervously
Adam’s expression darkened. “What did you do?
Few could hide anything from him for long. “Mr. Alvarez, w…
Adam’s icy paze swept over them before he tumed on his heel to leave.
“Mr. Alvarez!” Lucy called out abruptly. “This kind of seductive scented candle has no antidote. The get intlimate. If you leave, what about Carly?”
