Chapter 224
Spoiled by the President
All of a sudden, the crowd gathered around Celine to shower her with congratulations.
âCeline, Iâm so envious of your luck!â
âIt looks like Young Master Morton is spoiling you like a little princess! I think no one would say anything if you quit acting to be a rich young mistress.â
âThatâs right. Will we ever be blessed with such good fortune too? Where is our Prince Charming?â
Naturally, some of them seized this opportunity to ridicule Nell.
âI thought so! For sure Young Master Morton fancies Celine. A certain someone thought too highly of herself and kept babbling on about how sheâs got a fling with Young Master Morton.â
âTsk, havenât you heard of something called delusional disorder? This is a wicked disease. Celine, you better stay away from her.â
âExactly. She thought sheâs above everyone else just because she utilized some improper means to acquire the lead actress role.â
âGet her to see this! Show her how well Young Master Morton treats Celine. Letâs see if she still has the cheeks to argue more.â
Surrounded by a group of women, a fuzzy feeling filled Celineâs heart as the crowd showered her with lavish compliments.
The flattery went to her head and she smiled sweetly at the great satisfaction. âPlease stop saying that.â
Then, she quickly defended Nell. âElder Sister is great too. Perhaps what happened before was just an unintended mistake. Iâve already forgiven her, so please stop with the insults alright?â
âCeline, youâre too kind! That woman is going to ruin you soon.â
âSigh, forget it. Weâll show you some respect and be kinder to her.â
Everyone was blabbering at the same time while the staff who was about to leave with the proof of receipt suddenly turned around.
He frowned and walked over to Celine with a question. âMiss, youâre not Miss Nell Jennings?â
This caught Celine by surprise.
The others were startled too.
Someone shouted, âWhat are you talking about? This is Celine Jennings!â
That staff sighed helplessly.
âYou shouldâve said it earlier! These flowers are meant for Miss Nell Jennings, not you.â
As he spoke, he crossed out Celineâs signature on the proof of receipt in front of everyone.
â...â
Celine was speechless. The crowd did not know what to say as well.
In the meantime, Nell was walking toward their direction. Upon witnessing the strange expression on their faces, she asked in confusion, âWhatâs going on here?â
That staff walked toward her. âHello, do you have any idea where Miss Nell Jennings is?â
Nell was baffled.
âThatâs me. Whatâs the matter?â
That staffâs eyes twinkled with brilliance as if he had found treasure. He quickly handed over the same proof of receipt which had Celineâs signature crossed out.
âThese flowers are from Mr. Leith. Please place your signature here.â
â...â
Nell was at a loss for words.
All of a sudden, she felt a pang of headache at the sight of the sea of roses laid in front of her.
What the h*ll did Gideon do?
Under the crowdâs scrutiny, she had no choice but to receive the card.
However, she realized it had already been signed before.
Although the previous signature was crossed out using a black marker, the name was still vaguely visible.
She raised her eyebrows subconsciously.
Celine, who was standing not far away, was flushed red with anger!
She had never suffered worse humiliation than right this very moment!
Those girls who were mocking Nell earlier quickly realized the tension in the air. They turned to look at Celine awkwardly and whispered, âCeline, we didnât...â
âStop it!â
Celine interrupted angrily and she did not forget to throw a deathly glare at Nell before taking her leave.
Within seconds, Nell signed the card and returned it to the staff.
âThanks, Miss Jennings. I wish you two all the happiness in the world.â
He handed her another card before leaving with the proof of receipt.
In a matter of seconds, Nell found herself surrounded by curious people.
âNell, who are they from?â
âIt must be someone wealthy?â
âI heard what the delivery guy said earlier. Is this person going after you? Or are you already involved in a new relationship?â
âNell, thatâs so lucky. Weâre all envious of you!â
All those words that were spoken to Celine earlier were repeated at Nell.
However, Nell did not react smugly like Celine did. All she did was receive the card and said casually, âItâs nothing. Heâs just a friend and all of you shouldnât overanalyze this. Alright, Iâm going to get ready for the next scene. Later.â
With that, she turned around to head for the greenroom.
Someone in the crowd gave a snort of contempt.
âDoes she think sheâs morally superior to the others? How annoying!â
âExactly, she has probably found herself a wealthy man hastily seeing as her chance with Young Master Morton is getting slim!â
âBah! She really thought we were envious of her? Weâre just being polite.â
Eventually and gradually, the crowd dispersed.
Nell was currently resting on the couch in the green room. She felt like laughing as she looked at the pink card in her hand.
Seriously? This man...
The card was intricately designed. The pink material that felt slightly rough was made of high-quality. Its edge was bordered by a gold thread and one short sentence was written in the middle of it.
âMy love for you is as stubborn as an incurable chronic disease â Lâ
She reached out with her fingers to stroke the golden letters. A bubble of laughter finally escaped her mouth.
Hmm, although he did not stay put as she instructed, he knew better than to sign off with his name; he had kept to his words.
On second thought, Nell gave him a phone call.
Meanwhile, Gideon was in a meeting.
All of a sudden, he felt his cell phone vibrate. He paused in his tracks to announce to the room. âLetâs take ten. Weâll resume after the quick break.â
He quickly retrieved his cell phone.
The employees used to be astonished to see their boss picking up phone calls in the middle of a meeting but they had now grown accustomed to it.
There were even rumors about the boss secretly keeping a young mistress that he absolutely doted on.
Boss had broken the rules for this woman, so answering phone calls at meetings was nothing new anymore.
Naturally, some people became bitter with resentment as the gossip spread.
Their mighty boss used to be a man with his six roots of sensations, pure and clean. How did he become a despot with an unhealthy lust for women?
Obsession for women could ruin a country. Boss, please think twice!
However, these opinions naturally did not find their way to Gideonâs ears.
He stood by the corridor and spoke gently into the phone, âNelly, have you received the flowers?â
