Chapter 117
Early the next morning, before Celeste even got out of bed, Kendric had
arrived.
He had been dealing with work till the late night yesterday, yet he managed
to wake up even earlier than the rooster this morning.
Celeste thought to her self, success doesn’t come easily for anyone.
Celeste yawned and walked out from the bedroom. Kendric was standing
there in his suit, frowning at her.
Celeste covered her mouth and looked at him. “Why is that look?”
Kendric stepped forward to button the pajamas she was wearing, and then
he closed the curtains in the living room. “Is this how you dress when you’re at
home?”
“What’s wrong with it?” She took a sip of water and retorted, “should I
wear a suit even at home like you?”
“People across can see.
This apartment building was a high–rise. There are considerable spacing
between the buildings, and there were hardly any taller buildings around.
“Who would see it?”
She held the cup. She didn’t bother to argue over his inexplicable
possessiveness.
Kendric brought breakfast. They sat down at the dining table.
In these two years, Kendric had indeed changed a lot. When Celeste saw
him sitting at the table with a packet of cereal in front of him, she widened his
eyes in shock.
“I remember you don’t like cereal.” she asked curiously.
“People change.”
He handed her a slice of bread smeared with jam. “What I was like before
doesn’t mean I’ll be the same in the future.”
After breakfast, Celeste went to pick up the car.
Surprisingly, Kendric had rare free time to accompany her. “Was everything
smooth last night? I mean the emergency.”
He nodded. He had completely shed the greenness he had when taking over
the family, now handling things with ease. People like him were born to create.
wealth.
“How much is your net worth now?” She was curious.
Kendric hadn’t expected this question from her, so he thought about it quite
seriously for a moment, “I haven’t really calculated it.”

Oh god! She fucking envied him! He didn’t even know how much money he

Any number change in her bank account would be a significant change for

“No, no, it’s just a casual question.”

They arrived at the dealership. Celeste had already visited once before and had chosen a car model. Today, she planned to take it home directly.
The car she selected was not high–priced, around four hundred thousand dollars. It was a type favored by young girls, and it sold well.
However, Kendric didn’t fancy that car. His gaze went beyond various types
of cars and stopped at a Porsche.
“How about this one?” He pointed.
This Porsche cost over two million and was not considered top–tier in terms.
of configuration among luxury cars. Celeste didn’t know what he found
appealing about it.
“Not bad,” she didn’t dislike it, but her wallet didn’t allow her to like it.
“Take this one for a test drive.”
Celeste observed the Porsche. The interior features were a few levels above
her BMW, which cost over four hundred thousand.
At this price, she could still afford it. However, spending over two million
on a car really made her hesitate.
While she was test driving, Kendric sat on the passenger seat, “I’ve paid it. If you find no problems after the test drive, you can drive it home directly.”
Celeste turned to look at him, “we’re now shopping at a dealership, not a
grocery!”

They took the Porsche. Celeste paid for it herself.
This displeased Kendric greatly. Celeste rolled her eyes at him, “enough, I
can afford it myself.”
Η
Although she felt a twinge of pain when she saw the bill.
Kendric had long prepared this gift. He originally intended it as a surprise
for Celeste, but it was rejected.
“What else do you want? I can get you something else.”
Celeste shook her head, “it’s enough. I don’t lack anything”
She was not someone who placed great importance on material things. For
her, a car was just a means of transportation.
“Then I give you a ride? Where are you going?”
Celeste pondered for a moment, “I need to head to the company.”
“Oh, we’re heading to a same destination.”
“Same destination?”
“I am the new investor in your project, just like… Adrian Katz.
Celeste gritted her teeth, “can you stop bringing up that man!”
He put on a serious tone, “please mind your words. I am your investor.”
“Is being an investor something great?”
Kendric chuckled, “maybe it’s not great, but I heard investors can dance with the chief illustrator.”
He gave Celeste a meaningful look.

She sneered, “oh, you? A man in his thirties, trying to woo a
twenty–something illustrator. You’re too old, man.”
Kendric was struck by the blow, especially the words “man in his thirties,”
and “old.” He pursed his lips and remained silent.
“A man in his thirties can have his love!” he finally retorted.
Finally Kendric got in the new Porsche, and Celeste drove the car.
She stopped a few hundred meters away from the company building. She
looked around in all directions cautiously.
“You get off car first.”
Kendric was puzzled, “huh?”
“You, get out of my car. If we are caught getting out from a same car, who
knows how many rumors will arise.”
The word “rumors” sounded fresh and exciting to Kendric, and he asked
with interest, “your colleagues know nothing about our relationship?” He
emphasized the words “our relationship.”
“Our relationship?” She stretched her tone as if looking for the right wording to describe their relationship. “We’re simply…”
Kendric leaned slightly closer, his expression serious. He listened quietly to what she would say next.
Celeste caught on and realized she nearly walked into his trap again. She quickly changed her words, “we’re simply friends.”
Kendric held his breath for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter

upon hearing this phrase. “Yeah, we’re FRIENDS”
“You are my girlfriend and I’m your boyfriend.”
