Chapter 05
Three hours later. Celeste finished coloring a painting. She checked the time
and decided to go out to fetch a glass of drink.
The rest room was separated from her office by a large hall. As she passed
through the hall, someone called her name.
her.
“Miss Alinsky.”
Celeste turned around. Kash was standing upright in the hall, staring at
She had to say Sienna was quite sly. Celeste shivered under the icy blast of
the air conditioner above, but the butler stood there unflinchingly.
“Yes?”
Kash wore his black gloves today, which made him look even more stern.
His tone was more commanding than advisory. “It’s time for you to go back,” he
stated.
Celeste found it absurd. Who the hell gave him the guts to talk to her im
such an authoritative tone?
She raised an eyebrow, “and if I say no?”
The butler remained tough, as if he were addressing a disobedient child.
“Then I’d kindly remind you of the possible results if you piss ma’am off.”
Celeste placed her cup down and gracefully took a seat on the nearby sofa,
gesturing for Kash to do the same. “Please have a seat.”
The word ‘please‘ delighted Kash a bit. He preached at Celeste, “Miss
Alinsky, your temper might make you look a bit interesting, but it’s rather

unwise to make it a habit.”
Celeste let out a chuckle, but there was a simmering anger in her eyes.
“Really? Having I done something unwise?”
He started to list her improper behaviors. “Firstly, you shouldn’t have
argued with Madam yesterday before moving out.
Oh yeah, she did have a heated argument with Kendric’s mother before
moving out.
“Secondly, Mr. Melville is occupied with business affairs. You shouldn’t
trouble him with these trifles and disrupt his work.”
He’s implying that Celeste shouldn’t have run to Kendric to complain.
Celeste fought to keep her composure and forced a smile. “Is that all?
Anything else you’d like to add?”
Scolding Celeste brought Kash a sense of vanity, like it could prove his standing within Melville family was beyond a mere servant.
“Yes, there’s one more thing,” he added, “you should drop your jealousy.”
Celeste was teetering on the verge of venting her fury.
Kash seemed unaware of Celeste’s anger. “Miss Ophelia Bates is daughter of madam’s friend, as well as sister of Mr. Melville’s good friend. It’s natural for her to move into Melville family. You shouldn’t have overreacted.”
Celeste nearly let out her laughter, the self–mocking one.
She is Kendric’s fiancée, yet she was told to put up with another woman who aims to snatch away her fiance.
Kash stood up with a cocky expression. “I hope you can reflect on yourself,
and timely correct your mistakes.”
Celeste regretted wasting her cherished time here listening to his bullshits.
“Wait.”
Kash paused his pace. “Miss Alinsky, let me remind you, it’s madam and
Miss Bates who you should apologize to.”
Apologize? Celeste sneered.
Yes, every time she had conflicts with Ms. Quinn, in the end she would be
the one to apologize. And the results turned out to be same when she argued
with Ophelia Bates.
Celeste closed her eyes, took out her phone, and made a call.
In the past two days, Kendric had been carrying the phone with him.
When the phone got through, Celeste heard them having a meeting.
She lowered her voice, but her eyes reddened with anger. “Kendric Melville, lock up your watchdog and don’t let him come out to bark at me again!”
Kash was startled. He didn’t expect Celeste would directly call Kendric.
Celeste hung up before Kendric could say anything.
“You haven’t had enough of the cold air? Or you need me to show you the door?” she shot a cold glare at Kash.
Kash gave her a glance and turned to leave.
Celeste sat lonely on the sofa, hugging her knees and crying bitterly.
Sienna stepped out from the corner. She originally just came over to see
how Celeste would rive away the butler. She hadn’t expected Celeste to be
bullied like this..
“You have been putting yourself low in this relationship, and now even a
butler dares to treat you like a doormat!”
Sienna was in her wrath. She wished she could grab a knife and fucking kill
all the Melvilles.
Her heart ached as she heard Celeste’s sobs. She went over and hugged her, “Why didn’t you ever tell me?”
Everyone envied Celeste’s luck to have Kendric accept her as fiancée,
though he never showed her love. But who could understand the hardships she had suffered behind that title?
Celeste lifted her head, with tears in her eyes, “do I still have the chance to turn back?”
Sienna embraced her tightly, “of course, Cely. Just forget that scumbag and start a new life!”
