Chapter 192
192 192 Adam requested Celine to make a toast, leaving her momentarily speechless.
Donald also found himself at a standstill, perplexed by Adams intention.
He wondered if Adam had feelings for Celine.
If that were the case, he knew he would have to step aside, as he couldnt compete with Adam.
Why are you still sitting here? Go raise a toast to Mr.
Donald urged.
The other businessmen chuckled.
Ive witnessed many students eager to toast Mr.
Alvarez, but this is the first time Ive seen someone actually get that chance.
Dont keep Mr.
Alvarez waiting.
Everyone turned to Celine, prompting her to toast Adam.
She was perplexed by Adams intention, but she still approached him with her glass.
Alvarez, I toast you.
Now she stood tall while Adam remained seated.
Despite this, he looked down on her condescendingly, eyeing her as if he were a wealthy businessman choosing a student.
Noticing her reluctance, he smirked and asked, Who are you? Do I have to drink the wine you toast me? The room erupted with laughter.
Alvarez doesnt drink just any toast from anyone.
Celine was rendered speechless.
She froze with her wine glass when she realized Adam was playing a trick on her.
He had invited her to toast but didnt drink, just to embarrass her.
She glared at him and turned to leave, but she unluckily tripped over the carpet as she did.
She screamed as she fell to the ground, her eyes shut tightly in resignation.
She could almost hear Adam, the villain, mocking her for her fall.
Yet, at that moment, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her gently upward.
She found herself enveloped in a strong and reassuring embrace.
Celine gazed upwards, only to find Adams striking face filling her vision.
She stumbled and landed against his sturdy thighs.
His fresh, invigorating masculine fragrance enveloped her, a stark contrast to the group of sickening businessmen around them.
He exuded a unique charm that defied the typical business industry.
She was Adam cast his striking gaze downward and inquired, Was that intentional? Everyone burst into laughter again.
Todays students are intelligent.
Theyre using different tactics to win over Mr.
It seems that this student really wants to marry Mr.
She is quite ambitious.
Celines cheeks burned with a mix of shame and fury.
Deep down, he understood that she hadnt done it on purpose.
Yet, he was seeking revenge against her for striking Carly.
Perhaps it was simply hatred that fueled his relentless teasing.
She shot him a fierce glare, attempting to rise from his lap.
However, Adam tightened his grip around her slender waist, trapping her between his arms.
Who are you? He asked her once more, Who are you? Say it out loud.
Celines heart raced as she pondered his intentions.
Did he want her to reveal the truth about their marriage, or was he simply looking to mock her once more? She tried to break free and get up.
Youll have to beg me.
