Chapter 83
Adrian suddenly let out a low, husky laugh, but didn’t respond right away. He then pointed toward the door. “That person just now…”
He trailed off, as if waiting for Celeste to pick up the conversation.
Celeste replied, “I plan to hire a traditional medicine practitioner for the clinic, so he can oversee things and see patients when I’m not around. The guy’s quite capable. I’ve already asked him to start tomorrow.”
Adrian suddenly moved closer to her as soon as she finished speaking.
Celeste instinctively stepped back a few paces. “Mr. Wrenford, what’s going on?”
“You’re hiring a good–looking traditional medicine practitioner… Are you sure you’re bringing him in to see patients?” His voice dropped, his hand leaning on the counter behind
her.
Celeste paused for a moment and softly said, “You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. He really is quite skilled. Besides, he’ll be wearing a mask while seeing patients. Who’s going to know what he looks like?”
“Well, others might not know, but you do.” Adrian’s voice was deep.
Celeste was confused by his words. She furrowed her brows slightly. “But I think you’re even more handsome, Mr. Wrenford.”
Adrian instinctively lowered his gaze, his long lashes fluttering with a barely perceptible
tremor.
Celeste couldn’t help but smile upon seeing his reaction. “You look even better, especially when you smile.”
Adrian coughed lightly and quickly removed his hand from the counter behind her.
The corners of his lips lifted into a knowing smile as he turned away. “If my nephew heard that, he’d probably get jealous.”
Celeste gave a cold smile and picked up the discarded cardboard on the floor.
“Mr. Wrenford, you’re overestimating how much I matter to him. To be blunt, he probably wouldn’t even bat an eye if I were kissing another man in front of him.”
Adrian turned back to look at her. His tone was casual but held a trace of amusement as he mused, “Oh? Is that so?”
