Since there were no other options, Julia had no choice but to find her subordinate, Celina. 

“Alright, I’m at the beauty salon right now. Do you want to come pick up the keys, or should I bring them to you?” 

Celina already knew about Julia’s release without charge. Though she was stuck in a mess, she did not want to stoop to their level. 

Holding onto the hope of staying as far away as possible, she continued running her beauty salon with the same care as always. 

‘Come over. You can give me a ride too. Oh, and tomorrow, arrange a car for me. It’s too inconvenient 

without one.” 

Celina could only agree to Julia’s orders. 

However, the thought of doing something she was unwilling to do sent a sharp pain through her stomach, the ache growing worse by the second. 

After hanging up, she clutched her stomach and painfully made her way out of the treatment room, only to find David still standing there. 

“Why haven’t you left yet?” 

David was too focused on her pale face and the way she was holding her stomach: In a flash, he rushed over. “Celina, what’s wrong?” 

He was evidently worried as he gently helped her onto the sofa. 

“I’m fine, just an old issue. David, you should go.” Barely seated on the sofa, Celina hurriedly tried to send him away. 

Julia could arrive at any moment. If she saw Celina and David this close, it would only cause trouble for both of them. 

“But you…” David looked at her, deeply concerned. “Let me take you to the hospital. I can’t leave you like this.” 

Celina weakly raised her hand and pointed toward the reception desk. “There’s medicine in the drawer. I’ll feel better after taking it.” 

She had a stomach condition, something she had developed while studying abroad. That was why she always kept medication on hand, no matter where she went.

David quickly fetched the medicine and watched her take it. 

“Thank you, but you should go now.” 

Celina did not want to take the risk of Julia showing up. It would be like standing next to a ticking time bomb. The consequences of being caught were more than she could bear. 

“What about us…” 

David was not stupid.

After taking that phone call, Celina had completely changed. Every word out of her mouth urged him to leave as soon as possible. 

Clearly, something was going on. 

However, he had finally gotten a chance to express his feelings. How could he just walk away? 

Celina sighed as she spoke, “Let me think about it.” 

If this only involved the two of them, no matter what the outcome, she would have thrown caution to the wind and taken a chance. However, her actions involved more than just herself…
