Chapter 674
However, Adam held Celine tightly, pressing her body against his. The thin layer of clothing between them did nothing to hide the heat building between them.
In a low, hoarse voice, he said, “Celine, don’t move!”
Celine immediately stiffened. She could already feel the physical change in his body.
Her delicate face flushed scarlet. “Mr. Alvarez, what are you doing?”
Adam said honestly, “I’m not doing anything! Celine, I’m a normal man. I’ve been single for three years, and now you’re standing here, looking like this! It’s only natural I’d have some physiological reaction!”
Celine was blushing furiously and squirmed more. “Let me go!”
Adam warned, “If you move again, I might actually do something!”
Celine had no choice but to stop.
Adam reached up and gently held her chin, then lowered his head to give her a soft kiss on the lips.
Celine immediately pushed him away. “Mr. Alvarez, we agreed to stay out of each other’s business. If you try anything again—I’m not staying here tonight!”
Faced with her threat, Adam could only release her. “Fine. I won’t touch you. Go take your shower.”
Celine quickly stepped away, putting as much distance between them as possible. Just then, a series of knocks sounded at the door.
Leo’s voice came from outside. “Mr. Alvarez, the ladies’ toiletries have arrived.”
Adam opened the door, took the shopping bag from Leo, and dismissed him. “That’ll be all.”
“Yes, sir.”
Adam closed the door and handed the bag to Celine. “Your toiletries.”
“Thanks.”
Celine opened the bag and began inspecting the items-everything was brand new and neatly packed.
She pulled out a set of sleepwear… and her expression darkened instantly.
“Adam Alvarez!” she snapped. “What kind of sleepwear did you tell your men to buy?”
Confused, Adam looked at her and asked, “What do you mean?”
She angrily threw the sleepwear at him. “Take a look yourself!”
Adam caught the silky fabric and instantly understood the problem.
It was a lacy lingerie set-barely enough fabric to cover a hand, all sheer lace and straps.
Adam was stunned.
He looked up at her. “Celine, this is a misunderstanding. I swear this is not what meant Leo must’ve misinterpreted my request and made the call himself. This has nothing to do with me!”
Celine’s face reddened with anger, “They work for you. With a boss like no wonder your

Adam was at a loss for words. This time, he was genuinely innocent.
While looking at her angry, flushed face, Adam smirked. “Well, since you’ve already accused me, I guess I’ll just own up toit. Tonight, wear this sexy lingerie just for me alright?”
He took a step forward. “Want to change on your own? Or should I help you? Actually, why don’t I help?”
Celine’s eyes widened in disbelief, surprised by how shameless he could be.
She yelled, “You’re unbelievable!”
Then, she ran into the bathroom, slamming the door shut and locking it behind her.
Meanwhile, Adam chuckled softly.
