Everyone stared at the photo displayed on the massive projector screen in stunned silence. None of them knew how to react.
After a long while, they retumed to their senses. Then, they looked at each other in disbelief. They thought they were seeing thi
They couldn’t believe that their boss actually had photos of women on his phone. However, that wasn’t the case
Everyone’s minds ran wild with thoughts, and they couldn’t hold back their nosiness. They strained their necks to get a closer look and figure out who the woman. on the screenwis
Some speculated that she might be an heiress, and some were incecorative, speculating that this woman might be Julian’s future wide.
However, before they could figure it out, they saw a flash on the screen, and the photo of the beautiful woman disappeared without a trace
Julian then calmly snplugged his phone as if nothing had happened. With a cold yet gentle gaze, he said, “Today’s meeting is over. Get back to work
Everyone looked away, secretly feeling disappointed. They wandered why he had tumed it off so quickly. After all, they hadn’t figured out who the woman was
Even when they were disappointed, they dared not expressit. The group of executives homiedly packed their things and left, except for Marcus.
Marcus looked at Julian teasingly and quipped, “Was that my futer sister–in–Law?—
pulum looked at Marcus coldly, “Why haven’t you left?”
Marcus said confidently, “Why would leave? I want to see my future sister–in–law! Besides, I might have only glanced at her side profile just now, but can still tell she’s pretty! Julian, you have good taste.”
Julian obviously didn’t appreciate his younger brother’s flattery. He glanced at his brother and said, “Weren’t you the one who told our parents that nothing is set In stone? Don’t you think you’re jumping the gun by calling this woman your sister–in–law?”
Marcus recorted, “Of course not. I’m not jumping the gust. It’s race to see you so interested in a woman. Even if she’s ugly, I’ll have to trick you into even agreeing
At the mention of this, he seemingly became even more enthusiastic. He prodded, “Why don’t I kidnap her tonight? Forget any ceremonies. You just need to get her in your clutches first!”
Marcus methods were simple yet crude. When Julian heard his words, he gave him a waming glare
“You can do it if you dare! Histone was cold and dangerous
Marces immediately backed down and laughed nervously “Of course not. I wouldn’t dare! I’m just worried that you won’t be able to handle her.”
Julian was 29 years old but had never been in a serious relationship, let alone pursued a woman. He was simply less experienced than a schoolboy.
As his younger brother, Marcus was petminely woutes for him.
Even so, Julian wasn’t grateful for his young brother’s concem. He said in disgust, “If you have so much time on your hands, you might as well go on blind dates and stop worrying about my issues.”
After saying that, he returned to his office without waiting for Marcus to respond
After ensuring that no one would disturb h hillan took out his phone again and opened that message on WhatsApp. The picture was still chee
In the photo, Celestestood peacefully she had aseit and delicate look to her. Her facial features were beautiful beyond comprehension, and every inch of her exuded beauty. Her eyes were kind and gentle, like the warm light of the sum
Julian’s gaze darkened slightly, and he quickly ryped a message. “Is she in the hospital?”
Michael replied soon enough. “It really isher”
Julian texted a question mark
Michael replied, “She’s in the hospital. She seems to bevisiting someone — addle–aged woman. Maybe the woman is her mother.”
Julian was stunned for a moment. He remembered reading that she had a comatose mother in her information tile when he had looked into her before. He couldn’t help but frown and ask, “How is her mother?”
Michael teplied, “She had a medical entergency but is out of the woods now. She’s fine.
Julian felt his heart slowly relax when he read the test. He didn’t message Michael further after that He simply looked at the photo with an indescribable glimmer in his epes
Celeste spent the whole morning in the hospital. Then, she left when it was almost lunchtime. By the time she left the hospital, she had already bounced back from
herfunk
Bight now, getting her mother’s medical expenses was her top priority. Since she lost her job, the only thing to do was to find a new job as soon as possible.
However, before she did so, she first went to the department store to pick out a gift for Samuel. Her gift was a necklace themed after Samuel’s horoscope. It wasn’t very expensive, but it wasn’t cheap for someone who was in a financially tight situation like Celeste.
At 3.00pm, Celeste arrived outside Ford Corporation’s building. It was her first time there. She had only seen it in the news before and knew that it was one of Dansborg’s landmarks.
Now that she looked at it up close, she felt even more amazed. The towering building was visually spectacular. As one of the top 500 companies in the world, Ford Corporation was indeed so outstanding that it looked untouchable.
Celeste suddenly got cold feet, worried she would be kicked out before entering the building just as she was hesitating someone walked out of the building

Then, several female employees walked past him and greeted him respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Marr
“Hey, it’s been days since I’ve seen you, but you all look even prettier now!” Marcus praised. His gaze was so intense that it made the women blush and theirhearts race, sending them to cloud nine
Marcus seemed happy with the way they had reacted. He wwed them goodbye and kept walking, his eyes wandering around the area. Then, his gaze inadvertently landed on Celeste,
Just like that, the prideful Marcus immediately lost his stride as he remained frozen in place. “Well, I’ll be damned.. What am I looking at here?”
He rubbed his eyes indisbellet, fearing that he was hallucinating. After he did that, he looked over again. Celeste was still there.

Mascus was very excited. He named around and quickly approached Celeste “Hi” he greeted her smiling.
“You scased
Celeste gasped, startled by his appearance. After that, she looked closer at the newcomer, only to recognize
Marcus, the second in command at Ford Corporation, had firmly established himself as the devilishly handsome scion in everyone’s hearts. He often represented Ford Corporation and appeared on the covers of some financial magazines. He had a very high profile. Coupled with his excellent business skills, he was the dreamboat of many women in Dansburg.
Celeste had seen him in a magazine before, so he was to stranger to her. Even so, she felt a little embarrassed, she stuttered, “M–Mr. Marcus.
“Hello, gorgeous.” Marcus smiled even brighter. He blatantly looked her over like some soendoel. But then, his tonesuddenly changed as he asked, “Are you here to see my brother?”
