Chapter 113
Back to school, life became simple and fulfilling again. Eulalie really
dropped out, and the seat next to Celeste was always empty.
Just as promised, Kendric completely vanished from Celeste’s world.
Sometimes, when Celeste looked out the window and stared at the tree outside,
Kendric would emerge from her mind.
She would unconsciously wield her brush during breaks in class, and when
she snapped back to reality, she’d drawn a vague outline of his face on the
canvas.
It must be because she had too much idle time, Celeste thought, so she
decided to keep her mind occupied. She started sending out resumes and
applying for jobs.
France is an artist’s paradise, boasting world–renowned Notre Dame
Cathedral, the Louvre, Fontainebleau. Street artists in this city woke up with the
dawn and went to sleep with the last nocturne.
Celeste’s second job landed her in a well–known creative studio. Unlike the part–time studios she worked for before, this place–operated in a team format.
There are hundreds of artists here.
At first Celeste submitted her resume with a trial mindset. After numerous rounds of written tests and interviews, she got the job. And then she joined a team of game illustrators, here she would embark on a new chapter in her painting career…
Two years later, at the airport.
Celeste returned to participate in an open beta of the game developed by
the company she worked for. As the chief illustrator of the game, she garnered unprecedented attention.
During these two years, her reputation as an talent illustrator had grown significantly. Upon her return, she was invited into the game design team in this
company.
As Celeste stepped out of the airport, she received a call from Kendric.
“Arrived?”
“Yes, I’ll head to the press conference venue later.”
Kendric offered, “okay, I’ll come pick you up after it’s over.”
Celeste smirked, “no need, I have a car.”
“Alright, I’ll come and drive your car.”
Celeste’s smile deepened, “okay.”
In the past two years, Kendric truly hadn’t go find Celeste as he promised
Myles. But phone calls were frequent–they would have a short chat about daily
matters. So, even they had not met in person, Celeste couldn’t forget this man.
“Cursed Signs: Demon’s Call” is one of the most popular mobile games internationally right now. The game development team has called the team of best game engine creator, the best designers and artists, and the highest–quality game scriptwriting since its inception.
The scene of the press conference was crowded, no less than a fan meeting.
Chapte
Many gamers and fans treated this press conference as a cosplay exhibition.
Celeste walked in the crowd, feeling like she was really traveling in the game world. That made her feel thrilled and pleasantly surprised.
Following the guidance of the staff, she quickly arrived the makeup room.
Then she received a call from Kendric, again. Within this short two hours since she returned, this man had already made two calls!
“So our workaholic Mr. Melville turns idle now?” Celeste sounded a bit
annoyed. It was just the end of their two–year agreement, and this man acted
like he was so eager to tie her up!
“No, I have a meeting right away.”
Celeste sighed softly, “then why do you have time keep calling me?”
“You tired?” He didn’t want to explain why he kept calling her, but change a
topic.
“A bit. I took the earliest flight this morning. There’s also the effect of jet
lag.”
“Come find me tonight.” He said in a casual tone.
Celeste widened her eyes, “wait a minute. I don’t think we’re familiar to the
point of “come find you tonight.”
Kendric chuckled. Well, he did use a lame excuse.
“Come find me… for dinner.”
Celeste muttered her complaint, “I have no time to have dinner with you
tonight. Today is the big day for our game’s open beta, and there’s a lot to do on
Chapter113
the project side. And I have a banquet to attend tonight.” Then she thought of something else, “and tomorrow is the fist day of my formal entry to the headquarter. Just the meetings tomorrow will probably take the whole day.”
Kendric remained silent on the phone. Celeste could perceive he was
slightly angry.
“What about me?”
She chuckled at his aggrieved tone, “well, you’ll have to wait until the day
after tomorrow.”
Clearly, Kendric, who was always put in priority, had no intention of
waiting until the day after tomorrow. After the meeting, he immediately flew
back.
In the morning call, they were still in different cities, but by the afternoon,
he had already returned.

Celeste was even busier than what she described to him. When she worked
abroad, she could focus on drawing without needing to attend such social,
engaged banquets, but the situation was different now.
At the dinner party, she sat on the sofa near the window. She was squinting
her eyes, and it’s like her mind had wandered else where.
“Excuse me.”
Celeste opened her eyes to see a man standing in front of her. He’s tall and good–looking.
She gave a polite nod. “Yes? What’s up?”
The man introduced himself, “good evening, Miss Alinsky, I’m Adrian
Chapter113
Katz.”
Celeste searched for information about this person in her mind and had a
conclusion, she didn’t know this man.
Adrian sensed her confusion, “Miss Alinsky, we met at the press conference
just now.”
There’s a multitude of people at the press conference just now. Celeste still
couldn’t recall him.
Adrian appeared quite good–natured. He offered a gentle smile, “seems like
you have forgotten me. Well, let’s get to know each other again. I’m Adrian Katz,
the investor of Cursed Signs.”
Since he’s the investor, Celeste couldn’t ignore or offend him. She stood up,
“glad to meet you, Mr. Katz”
Adrian extended his hand, and Celeste shook it politely.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, unexpectedly, he tightened his
grip, and she furrowed her brows.
Adrian still wore his “polite” smile, but his face somehow made her feel a bit disgusted.
“Miss Alinsky, would you care for a dance with me?”
