Chapter 989
He calmly said, “Mr. Garcia, Letti and Steven are just superior and subordinate. You can’t insist on Letti attending the gathering because she’s dependent on the company. It’s her freedom whether to go or not.”
Hiram frowned, “Can you just shut up when I’m talking to Celeste?”
Liam’s so annoying! How did he never notice how annoying Liam was before?
Liam remained expressionless and calmly said, “Letti is an artist under Skyline Media Group. If you really force her to go, it means that if she doesn’t, you’ll blacklist her. Can she refuse then?”
Hiram’s face changed, “When did I say I was going to blacklist her? Aren’t I discussing it with her now?”
Liam turned to Celeste, “Do you want to go?“.
Celeste didn’t want to attend other people’s family feasts, she carefully said, “Mr. Garcia, if it’s a family feast, I won’t go. I’m not part of your family, it would be awkward for you too. If they really want to see me, we can set another time, and I’ll go visit them.”
How could that work?
Hiram said, “It’s not really a family feast, it’s just a casual gathering among friends.”
Celeste whispered, “Didn’t you just say it was a family feast, so Liam can’t go?”
Hiram quickly said, “1… I was afraid he was too busy, that he wouldn’t have time.”
Liam immediately said, “I’m not busy recently, I can make time when they come.”
Hiram reluctantly said after a while, “Then if you have time, you can come too.”
Liam said, “Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Garcia.”
Hiram didn’t say anything.
Although he was not satisfied with Liam’s participation, it didn’t affect Hiram’s joy in seeing Celeste.
Especially with Nana’s involvement, the conversation between Hiram and Celeste can be said to be quite enjoyable.
He was eager to understand Celeste’s life, hobbies, school, parents… over the past twenty years or so.
But these questions became irrelevant after he saw Celeste’s radiant smile.
The fact that she could stand in front of him in good health was the greatest blessing from heaven. As for the past hardships, he would make up for her doubly in the future.
Most of Hiram’s topics were about Nana.
Through these days of understanding, and with Liam’s guidance, Celeste was almost familiar with Nana, and she introduced various functions in detail.
Seeing her talking eloquently, Hiram felt even more affectionate.
After talking about Nana, Celeste began to inquire about Hiram’s lifestyle and personal preferences.
She asked him about his wake–up, sleep, eating, working, and exercise times, asking in great detail.
Hiram was very happy, he answered whatever Celeste asked, hoping to communicate more with his daughter.
Celeste said, “Once you set up these daily routines, it can double as an alarm clock, a nanny, even a secretary. Last time I forgot to bring a document when I left, it was this gadget that scanned and sent it over remotely.”
Seeing her look a bit tired, Hiram quickly handed her the water glass next to her.
Taking the cup, Celeste drank some water and asked, “What do you think, Mr. Garcia?”
