Chapter 66
Mariana asked, “What happened? Julian, did you make her angry?
Julian replied, “No I didn’t, Mom”
“Anyhow, you must be the problem. I’m telling you, you shouldn’t always be so cold to a woman. You must be gentle. Also…”
As Mariana rambled en, Julian massaged his temples
Meanwhile, Celeste had finished preparing dinner and was serving it. She served Samuel some pasta.
Samuel was full of smiles Delighted, he ate his dinner. “This is the best food I’ve eaten in days.”
Celeste smiled. “Then you should have more
That said, Samuel took his own sweet time. He used more than half tan hour to finish what he could have finished in 20 minutes for the sake of staying longer with
As he placed his utensils back on the table, he said in his cute voice, “Ms. Hart,
- t. I’m so full that I can’t move, Can I—”
Celeste guessed his intentions, but she couldn’t give in any more than this. “Sam, have you forgotten what you promised me?
Samuel sighed, knowing that he couldn’t stay here for the night. “Can I come over again, Ms. Hart?”
Hegazed at her pitifully and looked hopeful. Celeste couldn’t bear to disappoint him. “Do as you wish.”
Even if she didn’t want to, she probably couldn’t avoid seeing him.
When he heard her, Samuel beamed “You’re the best, Ms. Hart.” Then, he chatted with Celeste for a bit before leaving reluctantly
Celeste took him downstairs. While she watched as Tim left with Samuel, she had mixed feelings. If this went on, she would eventually have to meet Julian because of Samuel Why couldn’t she just be more resolute?
Feeling uneasy, Celeste returned to her apartment. Just as she was about to close the door, a hand stopped her.
Whose was it?
Startled, she looked up and saw it was Ethan. What happened days ago was still vivid in het mind. Her eyes turned cold.
Keeping her guard up, she scanned her surroundings. Realizing he hadn’t brought any bodyguards, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she asked coolly, “What a you trying to do at this hour, Mr. Hart?”
Ethan glowered. He rebuked, “Celeste Hart, I’m y
your father! Aren’t you supposed to invite me in?”
“I’m sorry, you’re not welcome here. Just say what you have to say ”
Ethan’s expression was sour. He went straight to the point without any fuss. “Celeste, I need your help contacting Julian to enable a collaboration between Hart Corporation and Ford Corporation.”
The project in question was one in which Ford Corporation and Prescott Group invested. They had spent a considerable sum on its earlier phases, yet there hadn’t been any progress. At this rate, they would suffer a terrible loss. Only by collaborating with Ford Corporation would they
After Julian lost his temper that day, the Hart family was truly intimidated. That was why they stopped making a fuss for a few days. For the sake of the project, Ethan could only approach Celeste again
Upon hearing that, Celeste scoffed. She asked indifferently, “Why would y
would you think I’d help you?”
t it was ridiculous.
After everything the Harts had done to her, how could Ethan even think of getting her to help? she thought it Ethan’s gaze tumed sullen. He replied, “Because of your mother.”
