Chapter 1403


    Celeste noticed that Gary had brought her suitcase along and protested immediately, "Why did you


    bring my suitcase here too?"


    "Your roommate gave it to me," Gary replied.


    Celeste frowned. Gary must have said something to Ava. Otherwise, why would Ava give him her


    suitcase and all of her luggage?


    She looked at Gary, her cold gaze scanning his innocent and calm expression.


    Despite being red at, Gary still lookedposed as he said, "Are you thinking that I said


    something to her?"


    "Didn''t you?"


    "I really didn''t," Gary shook his head and exined, "I didn''t say anything. Your roommate just


    handed your suitcase to me. I asked her why too."


    "What did Ava say?" Celeste asked immediately.


    Gary stared into her eyes and spoke slowly, "She said that she saw me carrying you back to the


    hotel. When you looked at me, your gaze was filled with love and affection. She firmly believed that I


    was not your brother and that I was your boyfriend


    instead."


    Celeste was embarrassed and stunned. Her face was as red as beetroot.


    Gary continued to say, "So I told her the truth. Since she saw right through me, there was no need


    for me to hide it anymore, right?"


    "But we are over now," Celeste muttered asplex emotions appeared in her eyes.


    She could not believe that Ava actually said that. However, Gary had carried her everywhere, so it


    was reasonable that many people saw them.


    Where was Ava at that time then?


    Her heart felt like it was in a mess. Looking at Gary''s innocent and calm face, she couldn''t help but


    feel even more disturbed.


    Celeste did not want to talk to him anymore. She took theptop, found a corner and sat down.


    Then, she began to trante the materials Flynt gave to her.


    Gary looked at her as she ignored him and started to work on herptop silently. He did not know


    what she was up to.


    Hence, he opened hisptop too.


    Celeste shouted immediately, "Don''t turn on yourptop."


    Gary was taken aback and shot her a puzzled nce.


    Celeste straightened her neck and said with a flush on her face, "I''m tranting some materials. I


    know that you can hack into myputer within a minute, so don''t use yourptop now."


    Gary was stunned for a moment. He did not intend to hack into Celeste''sptop.


    "I just want to check my emails," Gary exined, "I''ve never intended to look at yourptop. Why


    are you being so nervous?"


    As he spoke, he walked over towards her.


    He wanted to show her that he had no intention to peek at herptop at all.


    Celeste paused for a moment and felt bad for a second because she was judging him unfairly


    again. Her face reddened as she was flustered.


    Gary sat down beside her, not looking at herptop at all. He said, "You need some rest. Let me


    help you with your work. I promise I won''t leak any secrets."


    "I don''t need you to," She refused adamantly, "Stay away from me."


    Gary raised his eyebrows. His voice was very low, and he sounded quite tired. For the past few


    days, he hadn''t rested well. Now that she was finally beside him, he said gently, "Then I''ll sleep here


    for a while. You can continue with your work, but please promise me not to overwork yourself."


    Celeste ignored him, but her eyshes trembled as she heard his words. She lowered her gaze


    and thought to herself, "Why was Gary being so gentle and soft?"


    She did not me him for hurting her.


    She just wanted to end their rtionship.


    "Go and sleep on the bed," She noticed that Gary was about to sit down on the sofa, so she asked


    him to sleep on the bed.


    "Then, you should sit on the bed too," Gary did not want her crouched on a sofa.


    "Can you stop being so childish?" Celeste ced theptop down. She was extremely tired today


    and did not want to argue with Gary anymore. Seeing how determined he was, she returned to the


    bed and leaned back against the headpiece before continuing her trantion.


    Garyid down beside her and looked up at her. His pitch-ck eyes were filled withplicated


    emotions.


    Staring at the girl he loved the most, he admired Celeste''s beautiful eyes and delicate expression.


    She looked extra gentle anddylike when she was quiet. When she was stubborn, she looked like


    a bull ready to charge, and nobody was able to control her.


    Despite all of that, he still found himself deeply attracted to Celeste. There was no reason for him to


    feel this way. Because of that, he felt like he was enchanted by her.


    He fell asleep slowly while looking at her.


    When he woke up, he saw Celeste on the phone. Her voice was gentle and filled with joy, "Yes,


    Flynt. I''ve tranted everything and sent it to you. I''ve checked it three times. There are no


    mistakes."


    Gary nced at his watch. It was already nine o''clock at night.


    He looked out of the window. The sky was already dark.


    He had slept for a couple of hours.


    She did not get any sleep, and she was actually tranting materials for the guy called "Flynt".


    Gary looked at her when she was talking to him on the phone. She was not facing him, but her


    smile was still gentle and bright.


    For some reason, he felt irritated.


    The fire in his heart burned even more aggressively especially when he thought about the both of


    them chatting happily in the restaurant.


    "Okay, Flynt, I''ll hand in the rest to you tomorrow. I''ll take a rest today, and start tranting the


    others first thing in the morning," After saying that, Celeste hung up.


    The moment she put down the phone, Gary held her in his arms. His forceful embrace caught her


    by surprise.


    The next moment, she was lying on the bed. A familiar scent could be detected with every breath


    she took. She could feel that his embrace was wide and strong.


    Gary''s slightly hoarse and husky voice could be heard next to her ears, "You didn''t sleep for a few


    hours because you needed to trante something for this guy called Flynt?"


    There was a hint of questioning in his tone.


    Why would he question her in such a tone?


    Celeste''s heart tightened into a knot. Feeling a little annoyed by his question, she said, "So what?


    Do I need your permission to trante something?"


    "You can do it without my permission, but my mother will probably be very sad if she finds out that


    you are tranting documents for other people," Gary asserted his dominance as if someone had


    stolen his partner from him. He knew that his position in Celeste''s heart was rather weak, so he


    decided to bring up his mother instead.


    Sure enough, it worked, and Celeste''s fierce and sharp expression instantly changed. She looked a


    bit worried.


    Gary figured that his mother probably wasn''t aware that Celeste was doing some trantions for


    someone else.


    In fact, Celeste probably did not tell anyone about it.


    If he did not know about it, his mother definitely would not know about it either.

    "Since when did you start doing this?" Gary asked again.


    Celeste was trapped in his arms, so she had no choice but to answer him sullenly, "I just started.


    Flynt asked me to do him a favor."


    "Okay, thenplete this and stop helping him," He demanded.


    "Why are you interfering with my job?" Celeste said, "This is an opportunity for me to train myself."


    "Because I don''t know what that ''Flynt'' guy of yours is up to," Gary grunted.


    Celeste paused for a moment and said, "Don''t forget, things already ended between us."


    Gary''s entire body stiffened and he knitted his eyebrows tightly together. However, thinking about


    how he had hurt her, he hesitated for a moment and forcefully restrained Celeste. The warmth of his


    palm passed through the fabric, seeping into the muscles of her lower back.


    Celeste froze as she was controlled by Gary''s touch.


    She could only protest, "What are you trying to do again?"


    Gary felt so jealous and it was driving him crazy.


    He couldn''t bear to see his woman trante documents for another man. He was blinded by envy.


    "You''re not allowed to see Flynt anymore," He whispered in her ear with a domineering tone. At the


    very least, his tone sounded way better than before.


    He was being gentler than ever.


    No matter what, this was still an order. An order that made her feel very ufortable.


    Celeste was still irritated by his attitude.


    "Let go of me and don''t touch me," She growled in a low voice, trying to refuse his touch.


    However, she did not expect him to say, "You''ve been working for so long, you must be tired. Let me


    give you a massage."


    Celeste was immediately stunned by his words. He got up, flipped her over and secured her


    position on the bed. He then proceeded to give her a massage in a tender manner.


    Celeste''s eyebrows were knitted together. She really did not understand what Gary was up to.


    He massaged her body with hisrge hands and it really did relieve some pain and aches on her


    stiff muscles. Honestly, it made her feel much better.


    She had been leaning on the bed while tranting for quite a long time, and she hadn''t taken a


    break for a few hours.


    She did not even go to the washroom.


    Although the massage was really rxing, she still wanted to go to the washroom.


    "Let go of me first," Celeste said.


    "Don''t move," Gary muttered, "Let me give you a massage. Your muscles are so tense, and it''s


    obvious that you''ve been sitting here for too long."


    "I want to go to the washroom," Celeste retorted.


    Gary paused for a moment. Then, he immediately told Celeste, "I''ll carry you there."


    He quickly got out of the bed, picked Celeste up in his arms and headed to the bathroom. His


    actions were so overbearing that he did not give Celeste any chance to reject him.


    When he slept a while ago, he had taken off his bathrobe. Now, he was only wearing a pair of


    boxers. Celeste''s entire body froze as he held her in his arms.
