fun.”
“Miss Alinsky, would you care for a dance with me?”
Celeste rejected him bluntly. “sorry, sir. I’m not much of a dancer.
Adrian didn’t get pissed. “neither am I, but it’s okay. We can just have some
Celeste tried to pull her hand back. “please let go of me.”
“Miss Alinsky, you’re the only girl who received my invitation tonight.”
Internally, Celeste rolled her eyes. Goddammit! She didn’t think of this as
something worth proud. Actually, it’s such a bad luck.
They stood there in a stalemate for a while. The project director happened
to walk by. He greeted Adrian warmly, “Mr. Katz!”
Now that the project director showed up. Celeste didn’t care whether it
would offend Adrian. She directly pulled her hand away.
“Excuse me,” she said and left.
Adrian gazed after Celeste. His lips curved into a wicked smile. He liked. beautiful roses, and beautiful roses that carried thorns were even more
tempting.
Adrian brought the fingers that had just held her hand to his lips. He closed his eyes, and savored the lingering warm left by her.
If Celeste saw this scene, she would feel nauseous and probably vomit out.
Adrian initially gained fame through creating small games. Six years ago, he developed a popular casual game and earned his first fat check here.

Afterward, he started working on online games and now had achieved some
success.
The media considered him as a successful figure admired by many, but his reputation was not particularly good–because of his tag as a playboy.
Seeing him gaze at Celeste’s back with undisguised excitement, the project
director couldn’t help but remind him, “Mr. Katz.”
Adrian turned around, “yeah?”
“Mr. Katz,” the project director weighed his words, “that woman, is not
someone to be messed with.”
However, his words piqued Adrian’s interest more. He jokingly asked,
“what’s so special about her? What makes her someone I shouldn’t mess with?”
The project director shook his head, “you’ve just returned not long ago, and
you may not know her background.” Then he lowered his voice, “she is Mr.
Kendric Melville’s fiancée.”
Kendric Melville, this name didn’t sound strange to Adrian, especially in recent years when he was frequently compared to Kendric.
“Kendric Melville?” Adrian seemed skeptical.
“Yes.”
Adrían had always been in the constant spotlight, I mean, when it came to scandals. He seemed eager to prove to the world that he’s a charming man, so he frequently changed girlfriends every two or three months.
In complete contrast, Kendric, at the age of thirty–one, remains single without a girlfriend. It’s known that he had an ex–fiancée, but for unknown

reasons, they broke up, and he has remained single ever since.
Adrian snorted this hypocrisy. In his view, men have desires, and they should satisfy desires. Even if he loves a woman, to stay single for two years for
her is something he cannot believe, or say, he cannot accept.
Adrian turned the ring in his hand. What’s so special about Celeste, he
thought, he would figure out after he tastes her.
The project manager’s words not only failed to dispel Adrian’s interests, but
ignited his desire to compete with Kendric.
Celeste went to the restroom.
The restroom was even more bustling than outside. Many girls

their makeup. Celeste sat on the toilet in a cubicle. She checked on her watch, planning to wait for another twenty minutes before telling the project manager she was leaving.
She arranged tomorrow’s schedule and sent it to her team members.
After that, she sat there in a daze. She had thought that, now with enough fame and strength, she could finally do what she wanted.
Unexpectedly…
She stared at her hand. Just the thought of that man’s touch made her nauseous. She decided to go wash her hands.
Just then, Celeste heard her name.
“The newly hired illustrator… is full of tricks, huh?”

Chapter 14
As soon as this was said, it immediately stirred up the gossip around.
Someone quickly followed up, “who?”
The lights shone the restroom bright, and Celeste rested her chin on her
hand. It can’t possibly be me, she thought.
“Who else could it be? Celeste Alinsky. She just arrived today and already
hooked up with Mr. Katz!”
Hearing Adrian’s name, Celeste felt her stomach churned with another
wave of nausea. She even got goosebumps.
“Mr. Katz has taken a liking to her? Is it true? But his girlfriends had never been above 25. How old is she? Almost thirty!”
Someone covered her mouth and chuckled, “she’s almost the same age as
my aunt.”
“Perhaps Mr. Katz talked to her out of politeness. Don’t take it seriously. She’s such a…”
Suddenly, the cubicle door was forcefully pushed open with a round bang. It
hit the wall and bounced back.
Celeste pressed the door with one hand and walked out.
She had a smile on her face. The girls immediately fell silent. They exchanged glances and lowered their heads.
“Who just called me aunt?”
No one dared to answer. They were about to leave.
“Hold on.”

They froze in place and awkwardly turned their heads.
“We were not talking about you.”
Celeste shook her phone, “since you’ve called me aunt, let me teach you some manners. I just sent a text to the project manager and told him what happened just now. When you come out of the restroom, you’ll see him.”
The girls shivered at these words, “s–sorry, please don’t tell the project
manager.”
“Aha, your apology came too late.”
Celeste stepped out in her high heels. She became angrier the more she
thought about it.
On her first day at the company, the impression she gave to everyone was a
gold digger?
She was being ‘watched‘ by Kendric for past three years, so she hadn’t
dated any man! Why would they thought she was trying to seduce that fucking
Adrian Katz?
She couldn’t take it, and she had to vent her anger!
She quickly returned to the banquet venue. Adrian was engaged in conversation with a group of his business partners. Celeste walked past him, casting a glance over her shoulder. Immediately, he was enticed and followed her.
“Mr. Katz, care for a dance with me?”
