Chapter 796
“Next time, some other day.” wasn’t that just a polite way of rejecting someone? How could he take it seriously?
Since he’d asked, she couldn’t just say she didn’t know. After a moment of consideration, she said, “Tomorrow after work. Think about what you’d like to eat.”
Leonard’s face immediately lit up. I’m fine with anything. Whatever you choose, I’ll like it
His agent was speechless.
You’re fine with anything? You’re so picky at home that we’ve had to change maids over ten times! Shameless!
Celeste couldn’t help but laugh. He seemed so easygoing, contrary to the bad rumors that had been circulating about him. The media really did love to stir things up
Watching them, Liam’s eyes were practically spitting fire. He quickly dialed Celeste’s number.
Celeste saw the incoming call from Liam, excused herself from Leonard, and walked away to answer it.
Nicolas watched as Liam’s eyes blazed with fury. He braced for some biting sarcasm, but the moment Liam answered the call, his voice was surprisingly gentle
“Are you done? Tired?”
Nicolas was taken aback.
Why don’t you let your face reflect what you’re really feeling
Celeste answered, “Not tired. It’s just a bit hot Have you left?”
“Not yet. I’ve made a reservation at Cuisine Cascade Lets go there to celebrate.”
“You don’t have to. It’s so hot outside, I don’t have much of an appetite.”
“I’ve asked them to prepare something light. You need to eat to have energy for work.”
Celeste thought for a moment, then said, “Alright.”
Liam smiled slightly “Tll wait for you in the car”
Ending the call, he turned around to see Nicolas gawking at him.
Liam blinked ‘Are you possessed?”
He shot Nicolas a glare “Go sit in the front.”
Nicolas was speechless
“I take back what I said earlier. You’re just nice to women and cold to your friends!”
So that’s why Celeste had been warming up to him lately. This guy had changed his strategy.
With his soft and gentle demeanor, he was like a second Mason Fletcher
Nicolas buckled his seat belt and turned to Liam “Don’t let your true colors show after just a few days. She’ll dump you again.”
Annoyed. Liam snapped, “Shut up!”
Owen parked the car in a secluded area Liam sent Celeste the location and soon enough, she arrived, her body fully covered in sun protection gear.
Liam immediately handed her a bottle of water.
Owen raised an eyebrow
Mr. Reed you’re learning pretty fast
Celeste took the water and took a couple of sips to moisten her throat before speaking “When did you guys get here?”
“We arrived a bit later than you, Liam replied, studying her expression. “How did you get here?”
“Steven arranged a car for me”
Mentioning Steven, Celeste paused. “Liam, there’s something I need to tell you.”
“Go ahead, Liam encouraged
“So, Steve was pretty into that robot and borrowed it from me for a week. I let him have it. But after lending it, she started feeling a bit bad. After all, the thing was quite valuable and involved patents. “If you’re not happy about it, I’ll contact Steve and ask for it back. You don’t have to worry about my feelings, just be straight with me.
He knew it was that shameless Steven who had the nerve to ask for it!
“No worries,” Liam comforted Celeste, if he likes it, let him use it for a few days”
That device wasn’t so easy to trust others with It had a self defence mechanism. If Steven wanted to figure something out, it would depend on his skills.
“Are you sure it’s okay? Celeste was afraid Liam was just humoring her.
“Well, wouldn’t say it’s completely okay, Liam’s voice dropped, “you gave away what I gave you I’m a bit upset, you need to comfort me a bit.”
