Chapter 216

The bodyguards stepped aside, finally allowing Celine and Hailey to approach Nikki.

“Nikki, you’ve become a big star?” Hailey asked, her gaze fixed on Nikki

Nikki raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. “Yup. I’ve got a boyfriend, and he’s the one who made me a big star.”

“A boyfriend? Nikki, you’re dating someone? How come we never heard about this boyfriend of yours before?” Hailey exclaimed, eyes wide.

Nikki’s smile grew even sweeter. “My boyfriend is handsome, rich, and spoils me endlessly. He loves me so much.”

As she spoke, Nikki took a step forward and gently took Celine’s hand in hers. “Celine, I’m doing so well now. You must be happy for me, right? You’ll give me your blessing, won’t you?”

Celine’s clear eyes lingered on Nikki’s face for a moment. After a pause, she replied, “Nikki, congratulations.”

“Celine, thank you. I’ll get going now. Let’s catch up sometime soon, okay?”

With that, she turned and walked away, her entourage quickly falling into step behind her.
