Inside the car, the two fell silent.
Celeste sat in the passenger seat, constantly picking at her nails, feeling extremely anxious and uneasy.
She had just signed the contract yesterday, and today she had already caused Lucian to get a slap from her ex–husband. This was practically an early defeat before even starting, making her wander how she would ever get by in Austin from now on.
She was also thinking about how to make amends.
Suddenly, she stopped the can. Mr. Blackwell, wait for me a moment, I be right back.”
After getting our of the car, she ran into a pharmacy.
After waiting for less than five minutes, she was seen returning to the car with a bag of medicine.
She looked sincerely at Lucian “Mr. Blackwell, let me help you treat your wound.”
With that she took out iodine from the bag.
Then, she dipped a cotton swab a few times, then voluntarily moved closer to the person in the driver’s seat, and gently wiped the corner of his lips.
As she wiped, she apologized:Tm really sorry for getting you innocently involved. Don’t take what that person said to heart, he just hasn’t been able to accept the divorce yet, he lashes out at anyone, and he took you as an imaginary enemy. I apologize to you on his behalf,”
At this moment, their bodies were very close
Lucian stared at her red lips, his heart, thumped wildly with agitation, and his Adam’s apple unconsciously bobbed.
Will you remarry him?
Upon hearing this, Celeste’s gaze paused.
Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, and a strange heat inexplicably rose in the car; she immediately looked away.
Blushing, she replied “Of course not.”
She then pretended to tidy things up, covering her inner nervousness
Hearing this, Lucian smiled, then adjusted his sitting pasture, and said, gripping the steering wheel “Since you won’t, then you don’t need to apologize on
Celeste didn’t quite understand this remark.
What does apologizing have to do with her remarrying him or not?
just then, the person beside her added: “Besides, he wasn’t talking nonsense either
The car restarted and drove towards the company.
All the way, Celeste was pondering his words, wondering why he would say that Xavier wasn’t talking nonsense.
If he wasn’t talking nonsense, then was Lucian really coveting her?!
Thinking of this, she immediately stopped guessing.
This is completely impossible. Who is he, the heir to Austin’s top family, while she at must could be considered hardworking, but is a Independent woman
Soon, the two arrived at The Sloane Family’s company.
divorced
Celeste took him on a general tour. This time she wanted to expand the company’s scale, Richard’s products and technology were competitive, but lacked
Innovation
That’s why Celeste had the idea of reform.
Although the money from selling shares could also sustain it, for long–term rapid development, introducing capital would be inevitable, and Blackwell Group was the line choice.
After understanding the general situation, Lucian also attended their internal meeting, but had urgent matters to deal with midway, so he ended early and returned to Blackwell Group
Celeste, on the other hand, held several meetings in a row.
She spoke for a long time, then returned in her own office, parched, to rest for a moment.
As soon as she sat down, her assistant walked in.
Asking gossipy.“Ms. Sloane, a Mr. Sinclair is downstairs saying he wants to see you.”
Im not seeing him!!”
Celeste’s face darkened, and she coldly instructed: “If he ever comes again, have the security guard kick him out.”
Over the next few days, Xavier came every day.
But he was stopped every time he got downstairs, and even ended up on the security room’s blacklist.
Finally, he wasn’t even allowed into her residential complex.
Xavier hit brick walls everywhere, and didn’t appear again for the next few days, to Celeste thought he had given up when faced with difficulties,
But this day, after working overtime, she saw him again when she went down to the parking lot, and he even drugged her unconscious
She was kidnapped by Xavier……
