Chapter 154
154 154 Oh, so that was what it was about.
Celine immediately picked up a pen.
Alvarez, wait a moment.
Ill write it for you now.
Lowering her head, she began writing the medicinal soup recipe on a piece of paper.
As she leaned forward, the neckline of her camisole dipped, momentarily revealing the enticing curves beneath.
Adams throat constricted, a rush of heat surging through him.
He already knew she had an exceptional figure.
Her slender waist, which was like a willow branch, was yet another natural allure.
Every part of her seemed to carry an effortless and innate temptation.
Adams voice dropped to a husky tone as he called her, Celine! Celine raised her head, her clear gaze brimming with innocence.
Whats wrong? Mr.
Alvarez? She genuinely had no idea.
Her bright eyes radiated innocence.
That innocence only served to stoke the fire inside Adam, intensifying the tension building within him.
His Adams apple bobbed as he spoke.
When youre finished, take a picture and send it to me.
Celine suddenly realized her mistake.
Of course, someone as busy as a CEO wouldnt have time to wait for her to finish writing.
She nodded quickly.
Alright, then lets end the call.
Alvarez, you must be busy.
She moved to end the video call, but Adam remained silent.
At that moment, Hailey burst into the room, rushing over.
Celine, quick, heres the vanilla ice cream! Hailey was already eating one ice cream cone and handed another to Celine.
The ice cream had started to melt, and Celine quickly reached out to take it.
Its melting, Celine.
Lick it quickly! I just bought it from the corner shop.
Its super sweet, Hailey said.
Celine licked the melting ice cream, savoring its sweetness as it spread across her tongue.
As the creamy vanilla flavor filled her mouth, her eyes curved into a delighted smile.
Its really sweet.
The two girls giggled together, delighted by their treat.
Hailey noticed Adam on the screen and greeted him cheerfully.
Hello, Mr.
Alvarez! Adam glanced briefly at Hailey before his gaze returned to Celine.
She was happily holding her ice cream, her expression as content as a childs.
She seemed like the kind of girl who could be charmed by something as simple as an ice cream.
So easy to please.
Adams throat tightened even more, the sensation burning like coals rolling down his esophagus.
Is ice cream really that good? Celine looked up, her smile as bright as sunlight, Yes, its because its so sweet.
She clearly had a sweet tooth, favoring treats like candies, lattes, and ice cream.
Hailey teased, Celine, since Mr.
Alvarez helped you with Elijahs situation, is this video call because youve figured out how to repay him? Upon hearing the word repay, Celines long lashes trembled.
She looked up at the man on the other side of the screen.
He was still watching her.
At first, she hadnt noticed anything unusual in his gaze.
The intensity in his eyes had become impossible to ignore.
His eyes were dark and heated, simmering with an unspoken emotion.
Celine had seen the fire of passion in his eyes before.
Ordinarily, Adam was mature and reserved, as unattainable as the ultimate ice king.
Even entertaining the thought of him in that way felt like blasphemy.
But only Celine knew how terrifying he could be when he tore off that mask at night.
At his age, he had needs.
Those needs demanded a womans attention and care to fulfill.
She had seen that side of him.
Celines hair was tied up in a bun, her delicate and exquisite face barely the size of a palm.
Her snowwhite skin flushed with a delicate pink, radiating a delicate Holding the ice cream with both hands, she extended it toward him hesitantly.
Her voice was soft and hesitant as she asked, Do you… want some?
