Chapter 29
CELINE’S POV
I’ve been tricked. This man sitting right in front of me tumed out to be nothing
but a llar! However, there is no point in debating with him because the
damage has already been done, I narrowed my eyes at him for a moment
before tearing my attention away and waving my hand in the air to get the
walter’s attention.
“Could you please get me my bill?” I ordered, but to my astonishment, the
waiter quickly walked up to me, bent down, and whispered something into
my ear.
“Miss, you don’t need to worry about the bill…” He showed me a grin. “My boss
already took care of it…”
What?
“Boss?” I formed a frown. “Who’s your boss?”

Jake, however, got my attention by clearing his throat just before the waiter
was going to answer my question. “I am, in fact…the owner of this restaurant.
Therefore, there is no need for you to pay the bill.”
Now I knew for sure that he is a wealthy liar! I clenched my teeth and sent
him deadly glares as I refrained from reaching out and clawing his dashing
face.
“Does the fact that you are making fun of me provide you happiness? You’ve
been lying to me since we first met at the airport. That makes you no
different from a delinquent!” I exclaimed and was about to get up from my
seat after grabbing my bag, but he grasped my wrist and prevented me
from doing so.
“Celine…” He said in a soft whisper, his voice soft and gentle. “I’m sorry… I—I
didn’t do anything on purpose. I didn’t mean any harm…”
“Really? Tell that to the marines!” My eyes quickly shifted to his fingers as
they wrapped around my wrist. “Keep your hands off of me…” I groaned,
frowning.
“I’m truly sorry… I ask that you please listen to me. I didn’t-” he said, but was
cut off by someone coming through the door and entering the restaurant,
which caused him to have a look of surprise come across his face. His gaze
jumped from me to the person at the entrance, then back to me again.
I followed the direction of his attention, and when I saw my sister walking in
with a friend by her side, I couldn’t help but let out a sigh of disappointment.
This would be a bad day I guess.
Brylee’s eyes had been fixed on me for some time and were now walking
towards our table.
“Celine, what are you doing in this luxurious place?” I could see that she was
trying to put on a happy face, but I was so sure that it was all an act that i
almost laughed at her hidden expression of annoyance.
“Oh… how are you, my beloved sister? What a coincidence, right?” Limitated
her falsehood, and I noticed a flash of rage in the eyes she was giving off,
“It is! I’m here to catch up with a friend over a late lunch…” she grinned in a
Charming way, “By the way, I noticed that you weren’t at home the other
night. Where did you go? Dad was quite worried about you…”
Really? I smiled to myself and rolled my eyes secretly as Brylee’s friend cut
me off before I could respond.

“Perhaps your sister was getting a little too cozy with a guy late last night…”
Her voice was loud enough to get the attention of the people in the
restaurant, and some of them even perked their ears up in response to what
she said.
Some individuals have started utilizing their cell phones as cameras to
capture photographs. I already know what the headline that the reporters
are going to write for tomorrow’s article is going to be: “Miss Bad Girl vs Miss
Perfect…”
People who engaged in gossip were naturally unable to resist the temptation
to use this chance.
“Celine… Please don’t take this the wrong way, but despite the fact that you

have a poor reputation, you’re still staying out all night. Should you have
caused your sister to be concerned in such a way?” Her friend continued.

“Calm down, Mia…” Brylee stated, while she was still trying to give the
impression that she was the perfect sister in front of everyone. “If she didn’t
come back home last night, then she was probably over at her friend’s place.
Please don’t make up stories for the sake of my sister..”
Iresponded by shaking my head at her. She’s simply an outstanding
performer.
“I’m not making things up, Brylee…” Mia didn’t want to quit. “Everyone in the
city is aware of the fact that she slept with multiple men. Do you not recall
seeing the video or the picture of her with that young model?” she asked and
I saw how Brylee’s face redden. “She’s a side chick, and she even wants to
take your fiancé away from you…” As Mia swept her eyes over my physique,
she gave me a sly grin while maintaining an air of disdain in her gaze.
The people in the area instantly began murmuring and mumbling something

that’s not clear to me, and at that moment all I wanted was for the ground to
suddenly open up and engulf me. But I’ve grown into a strong woman. I won’t
put up with them treating me in such a manner any longer.
is that so…?” I couldn’t help but chuckle and arch an eyebrow as I glared at
them with my arms crossed over my chest. “If that’s the case, you need to
keep a close check on your boyfriend, dear. He might just end up in my bed
one day.”
Mia’s eyes widened in horror. “You bitch” she raised her hand and was
about to slap me but Jake caught her wrist and I saw her grimace as a result
of how tightly he was holding her.
“Despite the fact that you have a lovely appearance, your behavior does not
reflect your face…” Jake remarked as she abruptly pulled her hand away
from gripping Mid’s wrist. “You’re creating quite a ruckus over here, Miss…”
“Celine, who is he? The expression on Brylee’s face conveyed her surprise as
she attempted to identify the dashing stranger who had just intervened to

teng you Mister. You can’t even be her boyfriend. Her life is a mess
and you wouldn’t want to involve in her trashy lite.” As soon as Jake began
speaking Mia cut him off. “If you don’t want to believe me, you can ask other
individuals here, or you can see her face splattered across social medias and
newspapers, Either way, the evidence is there for you to see. Everyone in the
city is aware of the fact that she is a troublemaker, Keep your distance from
her!”
“Oh, I see…” Jake remarked as he gave a slight nod of his head, his fingers
grazed over his chin.
“Yeah… and her sister here knows everything. Right, Celine?” she continued.
“Why don’t you fill him in on what’s been going on in your life, huh?”
“Mia, please.” Brylee’s face looked like she was annoyed by her friend’s
behaviour when in fact, she’s celebrating inside. “She’s putting in a lot of
effort to improve the dem
So, my girlfriend here is quite the keeper, huh? My eyes widened or uned
my gaze to Joke. What was he talking about?
“Celine… he’s your boyfriend?!” the expression of shock and astonishment on
Brylee’s face was evident from the way her eyebrows were screnched
together.
“Mr. Anderson!” suddenly, there was a commotion of the entron
interrupting our conversation.
Everyone turned their heads at the doorway including me and I saw
Sebastian standing there with all his glory,
“Seb…” Suddenly, Brylee’s eyes lit up, and she rushed over to her fiance
grabbing his hand and dragging him over to where we were standing. “Are
you aware that Celine is already dating someone?”
Theard Brylee say and gave her boyfriend a bright smile as she wropped her

*s that so. Sebastian remarked to me with a solemn look, his eyes staring
ot me full of derision and mockery, but there was also something deeper in
his gaze that I couldn’t describe.
Perhaps it was brought to his memory that this is how I make money. To
sleep with rich men and let them pay for my service.
Subconsciously, my arm hooked around Jake’s and introduce him to them.
“This is Jake, my boyfriend…”
I felt Jake flinch a little bit but I ignored it.
“Really?” Sebastian gave me a sly grin as his gaze darted from me to Jake.
“Is that true?”
“Yes, brother…” I was taken aback when he tapped Sebastian on the shoulder
as though they were familiar with one another. “Celine is the girl I’m seeing
right now…”
