Perry bwas /bhere. Carly band /bthe others bhad /bseen him yesterday at Alpite Pharma, but seeing him again now left them visibly shaken.

Waking over to Celine, he said, “I just stepped outside to take a call. What happened? Feels like I missed something exciting

She smirked, “No. You didn’t miss anything. In fact, you came just in time. These people wanted to meet my boyfriend, who happens to be you”

She shot him a meaningful look, and he immediately took the hint. Draping an arm over her shoulders, he asked, “And they are?”

Celine introduced them one by one. “This is Sonia, Lucy, Carly, and Tracy.”

Her gaze thennded on Adam’s strikingly handsome face. The moment Perry entered, Adam’s expression shifted as well. It was clear that he never expected Celine’s boyfriend to be Perry.

She calmly introduced, “I don’t think bI’ll /bhave to introduce hinb, /bbdo /b12 This is Mr. Alvarez ”

Perry turned to him. “No introductions needed–we’ve crossed paths before. Greetings, Mr. Alvarez. Now that I’m in your territory, I’ll court on your hospitality.”

Pressing his lips together, Adam gazed at bhim /band asked, “So you’re Celine’s boyfriend?

He pulled Celine closer. “Isn’t our rtionship obvious enough?”

Carly, Tracy, Lucy, and Sonia were left frozen in ce,pletely stunned.

Celine had mentioned having a wealthy boyfriend, but none of them believed her. But now, it turned out that the renowned Perry Marshall from Fustain was her boyfriend,

How was this possible? Was this an April Fool’s prank?

Carly immediately blurted out, “Mr. Marshall, how could you be dating Celine? Don’t you know she’s been married before?”

He smirked. “Of course I do.”

You know, and you

How could the great Perry Marshall be dating a divorcée?

He turned to Adam. “Aren’t you her ex–husband? bIt /bbseems /bthat great minds think balike/b, after all. Celine’s an amazing woman. You liked herb, /band so do I”

Carly fell silent. bTracy /bbsaid/b, “Mr. Marshall, are you interested in Celine because of her reputation bas /ba prodigy? Let me tell you, it’s all fake. She doesn’t even have a job now she’s just a parasite living off men.”

Perry turned to Celine, looking puzzled, “Did you tell them this?”

She shook her head innocently. “Nope ”

He chuckled. “I must’ve struck gold with her. You all have no idea how popr she really is.”

Carly and the others admitted that they truly had no clue. He bsaid/b, “Here’s the thing. You all know I have btwo /bseniors band /ba junior, right?“”

Carly nodded. “I heard that she’s the favorite of your group.”

“Exactly. She’s the fourth youngdy of Fustain, and there’s a long list of sultors wanting to win her heart over. Celine’s just as popr as her.”

Carly stared at Perry in shock, thinking he was out of his mind. bHow /bcould he evenpare Celine to his beloved junior?

Celine curled her lips binto /bba /bsmile. “You all tried to set me up on blind dates not long ago. I already mentioned that I had a boyfriendb, /band now byou’ve /bseen him for yourselves. Besides, the luxury car I drive and the mansion I live in are all thanks to him, not Mr. Alvarez.”

Sonka thought back to when she introduced Celine to Simon, thinking she wouldn’t be good enough for him. Now, Sonia felt as it she had just been provenpletely wrong by her Carly, Tracy, and Lacy felt the same bway/b.

Celine looked at Adain. “Do you believe ine now, Mr. Alvarez?”
