After entering the angels prominence, Jack looked at the srizing set up of the building. He was actually impressed by the way that this building was set up by Katelyn.
It was true that won were the best when it ca to making sure that things looked more defined. Even though the building was already ticulously built, the way that it was decorated was way better than the surrounding buildings.
Unlike the previous ti that Angel's Prominence occupied a single floor in a building, now, it occupied the whole building that was containing 20 storeys.
Even though the building might not be the tallest in the city or in the surrounding area, but still, it stood out. Even the na of the company was enough to make people respect it, as currently, it was also in the trending news.
Each departnt was arranged for each floor, and there were even several departnts that occupied several floors. With the increase in the consur base, the number of people that were supposed to attend to them had also increased.
For that reason, the number of employees that had been employed by Celine's mother had already reached several hundreds.
After the three of them got to the topmost floor, where Katelyn's office was located, they got inside.
As he stepped into the office, Jack was imdiately greeted by an ambiance of elegance and refinent. The space was thoughtfully designed, combining sleek contemporary elents with tiless charm. The walls were adorned with tasteful artwork, showcasing a collection of inspiring pieces that reflected Katelyn's discerning taste.
Large windows bathed the room in natural light, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline. The office was strategically positioned to capture the best vantage point, providing the viewer in the office with a panoramic perspective of the city domain.
Inside the office, there was an expansive executive desk, expertly crafted from rich mahogany. The desk was impeccably organized, featuring a polished mahogany surface adorned with minimalistic accessories.
A sleek laptop, customized with Katelyn's initials, sat regally amidst a curated selection of leather-bound notebooks and elegant stationery. Crafted pen holders cradled exquisite writing instrunts, representing her attention to detail and penchant for quality.
Behind the desk stood a substantial bookshelf, ticulously curated with a collection of literary treasures and costics-related publications. These books reflected her constant thirst for knowledge and her commitnt to personal and professional growth.
The office also boasted a dedicated reading corner, with a plush armchair and a small side table hosting a steaming cup of perfectly brewed tea or coffee.
The seating area, embraced by floor-to-ceiling windows, featured a comfortable couch upholstered in luxurious velvet and accompanied by matching armchairs.
A stunning crystal chandelier hung gracefully above the seating area, casting a warm and inviting glow throughout the space.
Nearby, a private bar area housed an exquisite selection of aged spirits and fine wines, ready to celebrate achievents or welco important guests.
The bar itself showcased a sleek marble countertop, complented by elegant glassware and signature cocktail recipes compiled in a leather-bound compendium.
After the group got inside, they sat on the couch, and Katelyn prepared a cup of coffee. The weather was quite cold outside, so, it was warming to have a steamy coffee.
Thereafter, they began chatting about this in that. But of course, from ti to ti, they would tease Celine.
After so ti, Jack finally decided to leave, and leave the two won to continue Chatting. After all, he knew that there were so matters that involved only won, and he could not participate in that kind of discussion.
As Celine watched Jack's back disappearing, she sighed and went back into her mother's office.
When she saw her daughter's depressed expression, Katelyn was surprised. At the sa ti, she couldn't understand what was happening. After all, it was not long ago that Celine was laughing, and she didn't show anything amiss.
But after Jack had left, her expression completely shifted, and the worry on her face was clear for her to see. And, this was the first ti that she was seeing Celine's expression this way ever since she and Jack had gotten together.
"What is it? Is there anything that is troubling your mind?" Katelyn asked.
Celine did not respond, but instead, she went ahead and sat on the couch next to her mother.
Katelyn also remained silent as she waited for Celine to speak out. She already knew about Celine's character, and she knew that if Celine wasn't willing to say sothing, then, she was definitely going to keep her mouth shut no matter how much they tried to pry the information out of her.
It was only after a long while that Celine finally spoke. She looked at her mother and asked, "Mother, do you think that I am unreliable? Do you think that I am always attracting calamity?"
Katelyn frowned as she looked at Celine with confusion clear in her eyes. She couldn't understand even a single word that Celine was saying. No matter how much she thought about it, she could not find anything that could make Celine speak in such a manner.
"What is going on? Did you and Jack fight? Is that the reason as to why he brought you here today?" Katelyn asked worriedly.
If there was sothing that Katelyn did not want, was the engagent that had already occurred between Jack and Celine to be broken. To her, if Jack and Celine got together, and got married, it would prove that the relationship that she shared with Anne had been strengthened even though Anne was not there.
"No. We didn't fight. Jack is always so good to , and, in case I do sothing that he doesn't like, he always points it out. At least until now, I haven't found any trait that I don't like about him." Celine replied sincerely.
"But…but…" Celine wanted to say sothing, but, the words could not co out of her mouth. At the sa ti, tears began glistening at the corners of her eyes.
Katelyn began getting worried as she looked at her daughter's behavior. If Jack was good, and even Celine was saying that she was doing just fine with Jack, then, what could be the reason behind the question that she had asked previously?
Sighing worriedly, Katelyn moved forward and pulled Celine into her embrace once again. She began patting Celine's back, as Celine began sobbing.
This continuously baffled her mother. She could not understand the strange behavior that Celine was in. After all, it was not long ago that she had been laughing so freely, but now, just after Jack had left, she was crying.
At this mont, Katelyn suddenly felt that perhaps sothing had happened between Celine and Jack. After all, she could not find any other reason behind the mood swings that Celine was experiencing.
She was currently tempted to call Jack and ask him if there was sothing wrong with her daughter. But, considering that Celine was still here, she decided to wait and see if Celine was going to tell her anything about it. If she was not going to say anything, then, she would have no choice but to contact Jack and ask him about it.
"Mom, you know, Jack always cares about . In case there is sothing that I need, he will always give it to . In case I am lonely, he will be there to accompany ." Celine began.
"And in case there is a ti that I am tired, he will take out to make sure that I relax. He even sotis forces to stop working because he is worried that I will tire myself out."
"And in case there is soone that tries to bully , he will be there to deal with that person in the most cruel way. Even though the Dante family was spared from the calamity due to the relationship that Jack possessed with the heir of that family, at least, now, that family has no choice but to listen to Jack's words."
"There is Collins. He attempted doing sothing to , but in the end, not only did he lose his limbs, but he was even crippled for life by Jack. And finally, he ended up in prison together with his family."
"All this while, Jack had always been cruel to anyone that did anything to . That is just how much he loves , willing to be called a demon just because of ."
"Until today, he has never forced to do anything. He will always ask for my opinion about things concerning , giving all the freedom that I require, and sotis, it is even considered too much."
"So people always try to control their won, but for him, he always trusts , and leaves alone, believing that he has already captured my heart, hehe." As she reached at this point, Celine chuckled. It was obvious that she was reminded of so sweet mories.
"In other words, all this while, Jack has been the one doing almost everything for . It is not just , but even the people surrounding . You, father, Wendy, Angy… It is like he will do anything to make sure that I am happy."
"But mom, I'm feeling guilty. I'm feeling completely useless. I'm feeling that I don't really deserve his love. Looking at everything that he has done for , there is nothing that I have done for him until today. I have always been in the receiving end."
"If we are going to talk about the businesses that I'm currently managing for him, that is sothing that he can employ soone to do for him. I haven't found anything that I can do for him that another person cannot do."
"If it cos to managent, then, Denali is the one that is doing the most bulky work. As for , I'm only doing sothing simple."
"Even though I am happy that I am with a man that not only loves , but is also extra ordinary to make other ladies envious and jealous, but I still feel a little empty."
"Not long ago, he saved once again. Even though the matter is related to him, but, every ti, in order to deal with Jack, people will always target . It is like I…I …I am his weak link..." As she reached this point, Celine once again began sobbing.
Katelyn did not say anything and continued patting her daughter's back, trying to make sure that she cald down and let out all that was in her chest.
After a while, finally, Celine got out of her mother's embrace and looked at her with determination in her tearstained eyes. Then, she said, "Mother, I have finally co to a decision…"
