Chapter 308
308 Celine arched an elegant brow , her thoughts drifting to a message on her phone .
It was from Perry .
Celine , Ill be arriving in Mercity in two days .
Perry was coming to town .
So , she hadnt been lying .
Ive got something to do .
Ill excuse myself .
Celine turned on her heel and walked away .
The room empted as soon as she left .
That Celine is such a compulsive liar ! Making up a rich , handsome boyfriend just to save her pride ? She should look in the mirror .
Rich men arent fools .
Why would anyone like her ? Carly clung to Adams arm , sneering , Adam , it looks like divorcing Celine really hit her hard .
Now , shes dreaming of finding someone as rich as you .
Adams deep eyes remained fixed on the doorway where Carly had disappeared with an unreadable expression on his face .
Celine left Tate Manor and decided to head back to the dormitory .
She stood on the side of the road , trying to hail a cab.
The area was quiet , and cabs were scarce .
She waited for what felt like ages with no luck .
Then , a honk broke the silence .
Celine turned her head to see a sleek Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up beside her , its polished exterior gleaming under the streetlights .
It was Adams car .
The luxurious vehicle rolled to a stop , and the drivers window slid down , revealing Adams refined , aristocratic features .
His dark eyes locked onto hers .
Hailing a cab ? Yes , Mr.
Alvarez , Celine replied .
This isnt a good spot to catch one .
Ill give you a ride .
Adam offered .
He wanted to give her a ride ? Celine hesitated .
She didnt particularly want to get in his car , but it was late , and who knew when she would manage to flag down a cab ? After weighing her options , she decided to swallow her pride .
Thank you , Mr.
She moved to the rear of the car and reached for the backseat door handle when , with a soft beep , the central lock engaged .
The doors clicked shut .
Startled , Celine froze and looked at Adam Inside the car , Adam rested one hand lazily on the steering wheel .
His gaze met hers with a playful glint in his eyes .
Wheres that rich , handsome boyfriend of yours ? Why isnt he driving over to pick you up ? Celine was too stunned to speak .
It dawned on her then .
He had no intention of letting her in the car .
He was toying with her ! A smirk tugged at the corners of Adams lips while his gaze locked on Celine before giving her a good look , Bragging about yourself like that and claiming youve got an incredible boyfriend .
What a liar .
Youre really something .
He called her a liar .
Celines cheeks burned with embarrassment and anger .
Her small fists clenched tightly at her sides .
How dare you … ! Before she could finish , Adam stepped on the gas .
The houry car roared to life , speeding off with a sleek , confident grace .
Celine stood there , furning .
That man ! He was insufferable .
Completely and utterly despicable ! Through the rearview mirror , Adam caught a glimpse of her .
She was stomping her feet in frustration , practically shaking with fury .
His lips curled into a faint smile , and a low chuckle escaped him .
Adum , just you wait ! Celine muttered under her breath
