Adam hadn’t expected Randall to show up. As a , he could instantly sense Randall’s feelings for Celine Randall biked her a .

Celine glanced at Adam, then turned to Randall “Randall, would you mind us a ride?”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Celine chose Randall, Adam’s sharp, handsome features darkened instantly.

Thrilled, Randall stepped forward and politely opened the back door of his car. “Celine, please.”

Celine got into the car without a second thought, and followed close behind.

From her seat, Hailey turned and threw Adam a look, equal parts sympathy and simig satisfaction. “Serves you right for treating Celine poorly. Now she doesn’t want you anymore.” She steered inwardly.

Adam instinctively stepped forward and wanted to follow, but before he could, a hand gripped his arin tightly.

It was Carly. She clung to his arm with all her might, tilting her head to flash what she hoped was a sweet, delicate smile. “Adam, were you waiting for dall with i Adam didn’t answer. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the Callinan as it pulled away, carrying Celine and Randall with in Celine was gone.

gaze dropped. Slowly, he pulled his arm free from Carly’s grasp, “I’m heading to the office. Go house on your own.‘

Not sparing her another he turned and strode toward his car.

Carly’s face turned pale. Desperation clawed at her as she rushed forward, stepping in front of him to block his path. “Adam, I want you to take me house.

Adam’s handsome face remained calm and expressionless. His already strained relationship with Celine, worsened by his entanglement with Bailey, seemed to weigh on him, and his voice was now distant, “I need to head to the office,” he said flatly.

“That’s just an excuse! I overheard everything earlier. You and that rising tech tycoon were arguing about who would take Celine home. The when it’s my rum, suddenly you have to go back to work?” Carly shot back.

Adam’s expression darkened. His voice dropped and cutting, “Carly.”

Her name was a warning. He had no intention of making a scene in public.

Carly truze.

Without another glance, Adam turned and strode purposefully toward the waiting car.

Left standing there, Carly glared at his retreating back and shouted after him, “Adam, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Celine!

“Yet she humbled herself enough to marry you, a man who was a vegetable at the time and stuck by his side for three years, living like a housewife who revolved around you. If it were me, I’d probably fall for her ”

Her biting words froze Adam mid–step. Slowly, he turned his head to meet her , his cold, piercing eyes locking onto her delicate, furious face.

“You’ve already said everything, haven’t you?

else is there for me to add? Yes, Celine is a genius girl. She put her pride aside to take care of me and make me happy. She’s far more enjoyable to be around than you. So tell me, Carly, why would I waste my time with you when I could be with her?”

For the first time, Adam spoke his truth. Celine did make him .

It had always been obvious that Adam’s feelings for Celine were the kind of feelings a man has for a woman.

Carly’s cheeks tinged red as tears welled in her eyes.

Acar’s lips curled into a slow, mocking smile, “You’re the last person who should say anything about this. After all, it was you who pushed Celine to me in the first place.”

The color drained completely from Carly’s face. If she hadn’t run off all those years ago, abandoning Adain after he became a vegetable in the aftermath of the car accident, Celine never would have entered the picture.

This was all her doing.

Without sparing her another glance, Adam turned and climbed into the sleek Rolls–Royce Phantom. Moments later, the luxury car sped off, leaving Carly In the president’s office at Alvarez Group, Adam sat in sleek black leather chair.
