Carly smiled warmly, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush.

At that moment, the grand doors of the hotel swung open, and Celine walked in, accompanied by Perry.

"Celine, Mr. McCormick is already waiting for us. Let's go," Perry said.

As Celine took a step forward, she suddenly froze. Her eyes fell on two familiar figures.

Perry followed her gaze and saw Adam and Carly, hand in hand, sharing an intimate look.

Perry smirked. "Well, well, Mr. Alvarez certainly knows how to make the most of his time. Last night, he carried you home, and tonight, he's here having a romantic dinner with Carly. He's quite the expert at juggling women."

Shaking his head, he added, "Never would've guessed Mr. Alvarez was such a player."

Celine kept her eyes on the couple as she answered, "No. Mr. Alvarez isn't the type to play games."

Perry glanced at her.

"He has always loved Carly. She's the one he truly cares for, the one who holds

"Alright, Celine. Let's go."

"Okay."
