“Why do you look like you've lost a war?” Karen asked as she sat down next to Celine, giving the model a cup of iced mochaccino with a frown on her face because Celine's face looked strange.
“Do you think I'm on a war mission?” Celine scowled. She immediately took a sip of her iced cup. Not caring if the flavor was a little sweeter than usual, their journey to Long Beach began. A four-hour road trip that soon led to the resort where they would be staying for three days. After the photo shoot there was over, Celine did not have much time to relax because she had to fly to Milan immediately.
“What happened?” Karen tried to break the ice. Brina said Celine wasn't in the mood to be disturbed in any way, but there was no way they weren't going to talk to each other, right?
“Do you know Sella Michael?” Celine looked at Karen with a curious look. “I wonder who that woman is.”
“The woman from the i

Bryan massaged his temples as he sighed repeatedly. The coffee cup in front of him had been replaced three times by his assistant. And all three times, there were no leftovers. There was no way he could ask for a fourth cup. Besides the fact that it was already late, consuming too much coffee was not good for your health.But what else could he do if coffee was one of the stress relievers he had been having lately.“Mr. Bryan.” A knock on the door accompanied the assistant's voice.Making Bryan leave his work for a moment. He was about to finish correcting the public relations department that handled staff and matters relating to the hotel's equipment. “Come in,” he said quietly. His tie had been off since lunch. His shirt buttons were also a little irregular but Bryan didn't care about his appearance today.He had no appointments with anyone else. His meeting had been over since eleven o'clock this afternoon.“Sir, Mr

Jacob grinned slightly. The file in his hand was finished and this time, he would not let Bryan get a chance to attack him again. Jacob would not be willing to rely much more on his uncle's power and ability. Though Jacob had to admit, his uncle was good in some areas. “Tsk! Why are you thinking of Bryan's expertise?” He chuckled unconsciously. Making his steps stomp even more out of annoyance, why wasn't he immediately given what he should have. “If only Mommy hadn't taken such a rash stance back then. I wouldn't have to feel like this.” Her steps swayed down the corridor that led to the office of this man she was not too happy with. the higher the war flag she raised. Especially when he remembered everything, anything that involved Jacob's dealings with Bryan, upset the man. As soon as Jacob arrived at the slightly open door - no need to knock to signify his presence - he just walked in. making the owner of the room look surprised because he was concentrati

Jacob got out of his luxury sports car immediately. Fixing his blazer a little and making sure nothing was forgotten because of who he wanted to meet, Jacob felt he had to look perfect. The leak he got was confirmed, and this time, nothing could get in the way.He deliberately went to the place where Celine did a photo shoot for one of the famous magazines in Milan. Celine's name is still included in the ranks of photo models whose faces appear quite often in the magazine. And the theme carried this time is about empowering women in the midst of an increasingly demanding economy.And certainly, there will be an interview session involving the model directly.You could say, Jacob was very lucky that his project in Milan did not encounter any obstacles at all, especially when discussing the procurement of basic necessities. Including transportation matters and several things related to project development there. Although it is a small inn, the theme carried by Ros

Karen frowned. It wasn't that the clothes she picked out were rejected by Celine. she was used to being rejected by super models like Celine. but this time, the rejection was different. Celine looked like she had lost a war with who knows who. As long as she had been accompanying Celine around the city and was extremely busy, this was the first time she had seen Celine's cheerless look.Whatever Karen offered; it was completely useless. Even the cold can of soda that Karen had bought at the supermarket near the hotel didn't make Celine feel any better.“What should I do?” asked Karen in a half-whisper. Her eyes occasionally checked whether Celine had come out of her room or not. She called Brina, quietly, in as quiet a voice as possible. Hoping that the anxiety about Celine could be alleviated a little.“I think let her alone first. Prepare everything without missing anything.”Karen's shoulders drooped weakly. “I did but sti

The image of the conversation with Fania alone was already a bit of a distraction during yesterday's photo shoot. Fortunately, Celine knew most of the staff at Phoenix magazine and it was a pleasure to work with them, otherwise there would have been countless re-takes and poses that were not to their liking.“Are you sure it's okay if I leave you alone?” Karen asked once again. Before leaving Milan, Karen had something to buy. It didn't take long for her assistant to leave the hotel room, but Celine was still showing a lackluster and cheerless look. Which made Karen worry about her.“I'm fine, Karen. Go on. I'd like to get to the airport as soon as possible.”“But our departure is still a while away. What are you doing at the airport?”“Looking at airplanes,” Celine replied casually.“There's nothing like that.” Karen spluttered but soon waltzed away leaving Celine alone. “Let me kno

Karen had a very surprised look on her face when at the arrival gate of the Manhattan airport, Justin and Hans were waiting for them. Funnily enough, Hans was carrying a flyer that they usually encountered when picking up SEO special guests. Plus Hans' smiling face looked as if he had never met them before.“Why are they here?” asked Karen finally because Celine looked ordinary. Even casually approached Justin and as is the model's habit when meeting the big boss of SEO. Grabbing his hand and cuddling up to him. It didn't matter if their surroundings were watching with questioning eyes.“Just ask Hans. Maybe they have some business in Manhattan,” Celine said while fixing the ties on the gray cardigan that covered the bright pink short overalls. Wrapped her slender body perfectly which she completed with heels in the same color as the dress. Celine deliberately chose a fairly large handbag because she had a lot of things to carry in it.Th

“We're here,” Justin said as he put on his sun glasses. It was quite stifling and it seemed that the air in Manhattan was at its highest. Although it didn't beat Yazeran, Justin still needed the sunglasses that were usually on the dashboard of the car.The three-story building, looking majestic, welcomed them. A tall black gate loomed as a sign that outsiders could not carelessly enter this area. The guard post looked empty but there was a car inside. The only thing that was obvious if this building was inhabited was the car which looked clean compared to its surroundings.“What is this place?” asked Celine with a suspicious look. She slightly fixed her cardigan because Celine thought this building was creepy. “Are you taking me to a place to test my guts?”“Can you stop talking?” asked Justin with a laugh. “Come on, we're expected.”“But what is this place?”Justin looked at C
