Nigel looked at her and said, "I heard a bit about you, Ms. Tate. Word is you just attended the Capitol's Apex Gala as Linny."

Celine smiled and admitted it openly. "That's me."

Nigel had always admired her. A woman so young and already able to hold her ground in the business world was truly a rare gem.

"Ms. Tate, may I ask-what brings you to me today?"

Celine smiled. "Mr. Hampton, I just arrived in the Capitol. I'd like to pay a visit to your estate."

She wanted to go to the Hampton residence with him.

Nigel paused, then chuckled. "You want to visit my home?"

"That's right. I've heard the Hampton residence is quite extravagant. I'd love to see it for myself."

Nigel wasn't sure what she was really up to, but he nodded. "Of course. You're welcome to come home with me."

Celine hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. "Thank you, Mr. Hampton."
