    Cdn’t get it. “It’s just a dress, what’s so special about it?”


    Liam looked at her, then picked up his phone and made a call.


    Just as Celeste was about to ask who he was calling, Mason’s voice came through on speaker, “Liam?”


    What the hell was he up to?


    Liam responded coolly


    Mason sounded tired. “Still awake? What’s up sote?”


    Liam drawled, “Nics is throwing a party this week, and he wants to invite you and your girlfriend. Is


    that okay?”


    Celeste was stunned.


    Mason hesitated. “I thought you two didn’t like bringing dates to parties?”


    Liam, expressionless, passed the me to Nics, “Nics mainly wants to meet your girlfriend. They


    didn’t really get to know each other at Lymany’s wedding”


    Celeste gestured angrily for him to hang up.


    Liam pointed at the dress, leaving the choice to her. Celeste immediately put on a “ferocious” face


    Mason said, “She’s been busy with worktely Might not have time”


    Liam gave a slight smile, “Isn’t she a music teacher? How busy can she be? is Ms. Colton not willing to


    mingle with us?”


    After a pause. Mason said, ‘TI cher Then he hung up


    Finally Celeste could speak, gritting her teeth, “What are you doing?”


    Liam leaned back casually and said, “Since I didn’t get my duepensation. I have to get some


    elsewhere, or I’d feel off bnce.”


    “And you think it’s fun to mess with Mason?” Celeste asked


    Liam was very unhappy with thisment. He leaned forward, looking at her seriously. “He painted


    you like that, and I didn’t hit him. I’d say that’s pretty restrained


    Celeste was still puzzling over what “like that” meant when her phone rang with a call from Mason


    Celeste didn’t know whether to answer or hang up She really didn’t want to pick up. But Mason called


    three times in a so she finally answered.


    Liam watched her actions, his eyelid twitching


    As soon as she answered, Mason’s warm voice came through, “Celeste, are you asleep? Sorry for


    calling sote.”


    Just got out of the shower I had a busy day and was about to sleep” Celeste faked a tired voice, “Mr


    Fletcher, what’s up?


    Mason picked up on her tiredness and didn’t bring up what Liam said instead, he said, “Nothing much,


    just wanted to congratte you. Phoenix Fires been well received. My friends are all watching it, saying


    you’re pretty and a good actress.”


    Celeste was thrilled at thepliment, humbly replying. “Thanks you


    Mason said, “You’re really good at acting I can’t tell that you’re acting at all it feels like the real you.”


    “Really?” Celeste was ecstatic, as this was the best praise for an actress. “You’re not just trying to


    cheer me up, are you?”


    Mason chuckled, “You’ll know when youe to the firm next time. You have a lot of fans


    Celeste teased. “Are you one of them?”


    Mason yed along. “I guess I could be considered a mega fan. When given the choice between


    watching your show or working overtime, everyone chose your show”


    Celesteughed She was about to reply, when someone wrapped his arms around her waist from


    behind and kissed her neck. Celeste shrieked


    in surprise


    Mason immediately asked. “Celeste? What’s wrong?”

    Celeste tried to push Liam away, hoping he would stop, but he didn’t. He even slipped his hand into her


    shirt. His hand was wandering around her waist, giving Celeste goosebumps.


    Blushing. Celeste grabbed Liam’s hand and mouthed, “Are you crazy?”


    But Liam didn’t stop, instead moving his kisses to her corbone, kissing and lightly biting. Celeste


    couldn’t handle the stimtion, her breathing


    bing erratic.


    Then Mason’s voice came through the phone again, “Celeste? Why aren’t you talking?”


    “Ah, I have something to do Celeste’s voice was a bit husky. She didn’t dare to say more, just saying


    “Let’s talk some other time before hanging


    After the


    Celeste grabbed Liam’s hair, angrily asking. “Are you crazy? What if Masgeheard?”


    10:36


    Liam sneered, “So what if he heard? Hasn’t he seen a couple making out before?”


    Celeste was about to get angry, but his words made her feel like he was being jealous. She couldn’t


    help butugh.


    Liam frowned, “Am I funny?”


    Celesteughed, “I’m just pretending to be Mason’s girlfriend, helping him with some stuff. I told you as


    soon as I saw you, why are you still jealous? I never knew you were so easy to get jealous.”


    Liam said angrily, “Aren’t you too good to Mason? No matter how outrageous his requests, you always


    agree. But I just ask you to change a dress and you refuse!”


    Celeste smiled, “Listen to yourself, are those two thingsparable?”


    Liam red at her, “To me, they are. You always reject me, but you always leave room for him!”


    Celeste saw he was truly upset and softened her tone, “Why would you think that? I’m reluctant to


    reject Mason because he’s never asked me for any help before. Instead, he’s always been helping me.


    You know I don’t like to owe people. The first time he asked for my help, I felt awkward But if it could


    help him solve his problems, I wouldn’t owe him anymore. I think it’s worth it.”


    Logically, Liam could understand, but he didn’t want to be logical! His long held discontent suddenly


    burst out, “You’re always smiling when you talk to him. Your voice is even softer than when you talk to


    me!”


    “I didn’t‘” Celestepletely denied it.


    Liam scoffed, “See, now you’re shouting at me. Do you do that to him?”


    Celeste was shocked. She forced a change in her tone, raising her voice and said, “What are you


    talking about? Is it okay if I talk to you like this?”
