Was he seriously making a dirty joke?
Just like that, he had steered the conversation straight into dangerous territory.
Her face instantly flushed red. “You’re such a despicable man!”
After that, Adam strode into Alpite Pharma with his long legs. He said in a casual tone, “What made you think that I was despicable? Celine, could it be that you’re the one thinking about something inappropriate?”
Celine was left speechless.
This man dressed like a gentleman, carrying himself with an air of sophistication, but in reality, no one was worse than him.
She had no interest in continuing the conversation and simply followed him inside.
Before long, Owen McCormick, the director of Alpite Pharma, hurried over. “Mr. Alvarez, what brings you here so late at night?”
He wasn’t even on duty tonight, but after receiving Adam’s call, he had rushed over from home.
Adam said, “I brought someone in for a pregnancy test.”
Owen asked, “Who?”
Adam stepped aside, revealing Celine behind him. “Her.”
Owen’s eyes widened in shock the moment he saw Celine. His pupils contracted sharply as he gasped, “Y–You-”
Adam glanced at him and asked, “Mr. McCormick, do you know Celine?”
“I–I…” Owen stammered.
Compared to his panic, Celine remained perfectly calm and composed. “No, we’ve never met.”
Cold sweat beaded on Owen’s forehead. Tonight was completely unexpected. Two titans in their fields had arrived at Alpite Pharma at the same time, catching him entirely off guard.
Adam said, “Mr. McCormick, go ahead and issue the order for the pregnancy test.”
Owen replied, “Yes, of course. My office is this way. Please, follow me.‘
Adam walked ahead into the director’s office. When he turned his head, he noticed that Owen was trailing closely behind Celine, practically fawning over, her, as if terrified she might trip or bump into something. “Ms. Tate, please, this way.”
Meanwhile, Adam, who had received no such treatment, stood there in silence.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
