    Chapter 1039


    Leonard can hold his booze pretty well. Same goes for Celeste. Only Liam is a bit of a lightweight.


    But he knew his limit, so he didn’t drink much


    Celeste, on the other hand, was a bit tipsy. Her face had turned red, and her speech was slurred.


    “Leonard, spill the beans. How much do top stars like you rake in a year?”


    Liam, on the other hand, was cool as a cucumber, sipping his tea. He thought to himself, ‘At least she’s


    not throwing money at people anymore. She’s just curious about their eamings. That’s progress, I


    guess.”


    Seeing Leonard keep mum, Celeste started to guess. “30 million?”


    Leonard shook his head.


    “Then, 50 million?”


    Leonard still shook his head.


    “Could it be 100 million?”


    Leonard didn’t shake his head this time


    Celeste immediately clung to his arm. “Leonard, teach me how to be a top star like you. I want to


    make the big bucks too.”


    Liam gently took her hand and ced it on his own arm. I’m right here”


    Celeste held onto his arm, her words slurred from the alcohol. I need to earn more than you.”


    Liam brushed a stray lock of hair from her cheek, speaking softly. “And then what? Propose to me?”


    Celeste shook her head, mumbling after a while, “If I earn more, I can buy your time. She closed her


    eyes, murmuring, “I don’t want you to work so hard.”


    Liam was taken aback, then he chuckled, his eyes softening.


    He said, “Let’s take a vacation when the first snow falls.”


    “Can we


    go for two weeks“”


    Liam pondered for a moment, “I’ll try to squeeze out at least ten days”


    Celeste instantly brightened up.


    Had Liam said. “We can go for as long as you want,” she would have known he was just trying to


    cate her.


    But he gave a specific number. Celeste knew he was serious


    That’s what she sought in a rtionship a partner who would take her feelings seriously. Even if Liam


    couldn’t take two weeks off due to work, she wouldn’t me

    Leonard watched their interaction, feeling a pang of envy


    Liam could guess her thoughts from a single gesture. Celeste, even when drunk, was still concerned


    about his work.


    The atmosphere between the two of them simply didn’t allow for a third party.


    As the dinner came to an end, Liam, carrying a drunken Celeste, called out to Leonard.


    Leonard still didn’t like him, but he didn’t despise him as much anymore


    Liam said, “I have a friend who’s good at code optimization. Want me to introduce you?”


    Leonard was taken aback “Why would I need to know him?”


    Liam nced at him, pausing for a moment before saying. “You can choose not to meet him. You can


    leave your game’s issues unresolved, keep making up for your game investment losses through acting,


    borrow from bank to pay debt until you’re left with nothing, let Steven mock you.”


    Leonard red at him “you investigated me?”


    Liam brushed off his anger. He gently rocked the woman in his arms, speaking in a calm voice. “I need


    to know who’s around the woman I love. You can take it as


    me being nosy.”
