Chapter 379
There were a lot of people in line, and Trisha stood on tiptoe to watch.
People were bringing watches, shoes, bags, jewelry, and someone’s even giving a carl
She glanced down at the gift box in her hands and sneakily stuffed it in her bag Better let Letti’s gift take center stage.
When it’s Liam Reed’s turn to register, he’s got a pair of wine glasses.
Trisha’s kinda bummed out and whispered to Celeste, Come on, Liam’s being such a cheapskate! This is his buddy we’re talking about, and all he’s bringing are two lousy wine glasses?”
Celeste thought helplessly. “No wonder Liam said Trisha and I are like two bitter besties,” Since they both had the same thoughts about the wine
glasses
She’s also got a pair like that at home, gifted by a client of Liam’s company
When Liam brought them home, she had said the same thing.
She’ll never forget the look on Liam’s face, surprise, disbelief, and speechless expression after listening to her words.
In the end, Owen spilled the beans that these glasses were made by some fancy foreign company known for wine glasses and decanters.
Not only does the wine taste super smooth from them, the bottom of the cup holder is also inlaid with gemstones, and each one’s worth close to
one million
Once they got inside, Trisha immediately saw Dr. Ledford.
She was like a cat smelling fishy and immediately chased after her, but Celeste couldn’t stop barking.
“Liam, Celeste.”
They heard Mason Fletcher’s voice from behind. Celeste turned around, and her eyes lit up,”Mr. Fletcher?”
Liams frowning and holding her hand tight.
Mason’s decked out in a white suit today. His shirt was buttoned all the way up with a Windsor knot, hair was all gelled up, looking like a total
model.
His eyes were deep, and when he’s not smiling, he lookd like the whole person looks noble, while when he smiled, the whole person revealed warmth
Maybe because she knew about Mr. Fletcher had scars and insecurities, Celeste’s always walking on eggshells around him.
“Mr. Fletcher, you look killer in that getup!”
Celeste sincerely complimented.
Seriously, Mason rockd that white suit. Let’s put it this way, in that suit, he’s even outshining Liam.
Hearing Celeste’s compliment, Liam suddenly remembered what she liked on her social media account.
Then he glanced at Mason, the Windsor knot on his neck looked like a collar no matter how it looks. Celeste still gave that collar!
Mason smiled and sayid, Thanks. How’s Grandpa David been lately?”
Celeste paused, her thoughts drifting to Kaylee Reed. She said flatly,” Grandpa David went back to his hometown.”
Mason’s a bit bummed and said, “Oh, that’s a bummer. I was planning to drop by and learn some cooking tricks from him. I didn’t think he’d leave
so soon”
Celeste’s vague, “Something came up back home. We’ll visit him during the holidays.”
Mason nodded, Give him my regards then.”
Then he turned to Liam, How’s Kaylee? Has her injury not healed yet?”
Mentioning Kaylee made Celeste’s face even grimmer.
Her wounds could stay unhealed for all she cared, with that non-stop motor mouth of hers!
Liam coolly said, “If you really care, you could go see for yourself”
Mason said, “You know how Kaylee feels about me. I don’t want her to get the wrong idea, and I don’t want our families to get their hopes up.”
Liam said indifferently. “If you really think so, why don’t you find a girlfriend earlier and cut off her thoughts?”
