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?"

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

Leo fell silent.
