Adam's expression instantly darkened when Celine told him to schedule an appointment. No one had ever dared to make him take a number and wait- Celine was the first.

"Mr. Alvarez, I'll be going now," she said.

With that, Celine strode off with her entourage, leaving Adam standing there in silence.

Just then, Leo came forward. "Mr. Alvarez, should I coordinate with Ms. Tate's assistant to schedule an appointment?"

Before Leo could finish, Adam shot him a sharp glare.

Feeling wronged, Leo quickly defended himself. "Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Tate was just an ordinary Ms. Tate before, but now she's Dr. C-the nation-renowned genius. Even billionaires have to make appointments to see her. I don't think she's doing this just to spite you."

Leo had meant to console him, but instead, Adam's expression turned even colder.

"If you can't say anything useful, then shut up," Adam said icily.

Leo fell silent.

Just then, Adam's phone rang-it was James.

He pressed the answer button. "James, did you know about Celine's identity all along?"
