Chapter 204
Celeste also found out that the director of “Mastermind of Law” had loads of experience under his belt. He had made similar shows for other companies more than a decade ago, which were super popular back then. Unfortunately, due to some company reshuffling and business disputes, the show was canceled after a few years.
Even today, people still can’t get over that show, and many Tik Tok video creators have used the old materials to make new content. With him in charge, it’s guaranteed that the new show would be a hit just like the old one.
Celeste thought to herself, “I really hit the jackpot coming to this jewelry exhibition. A job opportunity has just fallen into my lap!”
Trying not to look too excited, she pretended to be hesitant and said, “I’m interested, but I haven’t acted in years. I’m afraid I might not be good enough.”
Simon chuckled.
Celeste glanced at him, and felt as if he could see right through her.
Before she could analyze his look further, Simon said, “Don’t be so modest, Celeste. I’ve seen you act before, and you’re great at it.”
Celeste was taken aback. “You’ve seen me act?”
Simon paused for a moment and then said, “You performed at the University of T’s anniversary celebration, and I was in the audience.”
That role was the pinnacle of Celeste’s time at college. It made her a sensation.
She never thought someone would remember that performance after all these years.
She laughed. “Even a butcher’s knife gets rusty if left unused for a few months, let alone me being away from the stage for years.” She paused, then said, “Since Mr. Rowley has so much faith in me. I’ll give it a shot.
Liam, who had been listening to the conversation, frowned, “Are you really going to do it?”
Celeste nodded, “Why not? I don’t have much going on at home. This way I can help a friend and contribute to a good cause. Shouldn’t you be proud of me?”
Liam glanced at her, “As long as you don’t mind the embarrassment.”
Celeste grumbled, “If there’s any embarrassment, it’s on you. I couldn’t care less.”
Liam’s mouth twitched.
Celeste had just exchanged numbers with Michaela when the exhibition officially began.
The organizers had invited a well-known professional host for the opening speech. The Fletcher family had really gone all out for this jewelry exhibition. Celeste was completely engrossed in the event when Liam’s voice came from beside her, “Are you close with Simon?”
“Not really, but his brother helped me before”
Celeste knew what Liam was going to ask.
As far as Liam could see, she had no connection to Simon and his wife. Yet she agreed to help them without hesitation, which seemed unreasonable Of course, she wouldn’t tell Liam her real motive, but she was confident in deceiving him.
“Gavin?” Liam frowned, “What did he help you with?”
Celeste pursed her lips, “He helped me when we got married”
Back when she and Liam got married, Liam left her alone at the ceremony, and everyone made fun of her. To deal with the situation, Skyler had her go from guest to guest, thanking friends and family while toasting
No matter how good the girls alcohol tolerance was, there was a limit
After seven or eight drinks, she was already feeling dizzy
Those prim and proper people at the event turned into beasts in human skin, constantly filling her cup with strong liquor
She had already drunk a lot, and if she had continued, she might end up in the emergency room instead of the bridal chamber on her wedding night.
