None of them dared to say another word about Deline. Benjamin glanced at Arban. Even though Adam had never spared Celine a second look, she had tirelessly taken care of him for three years. Clearly, Adam still had some shred of sentiment left for her… Just then, a wave of excitement rippled through the crowd. “Such a beautiful angel!” Angel? Where? Benjamin allowed everyone’s pace and inhaled, widening his eyes in surprise. “Holy crap! That really is an angel.” The others around him were equally metered. “When did an angel arrive in Mercity?

With her silky hair cascading over her shoulders, she looked thin, like a breathing angel. Adam’s for two full seconds. Benjamin is clearly thrilled. “What do you think of that angel, Adam?

Those could definitely compete with Carly’s,” others added. Celie are departure from her usual conservative style was a chic, short tweed dress that showed off her legs for the first time. Here we perfectly caned, proportionate, and tantalizing. These were the kind of legs that made men’s imagination wild. They were just a captivating as Carly’s. Adam glanced at the “angel” for two seconds and couldn’t shake the feeling that this woman looked strangely familiar. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before. Then, a group of male escorts filed into the room, each one tall and hot. They lined up right in front of Celine. Robin grinned. “Celine, pick right.” Since the car was celebrating her newfound freedom from a disastrous marriage, she decided to go all out, “You, you, you. Stay ” Benjamini Krali e counting under his breath, “00, tw, the right. Did she host eight escorts at once? One of the slots chimed in, “Why spend the money? All she has to do is bask, and we’d happily volunteer for the tree.” Laughter engulfs the booth. At this moment, Aden’s plane buzzed gas. It was a new transaction message. He picked up to see what time paid for this time, “Der VVIP, your card ending 0975 has been charged 50,000 at Club 19pd for eight es cou. Adam frowned at once. He read the words “right escorts” twice before snapping his gaze back toward the angel across the room. The angel who had just splurged right escorted Celine! Adamas was tenderedrenderedess. Eight escorts surrounded Celine and started pouring drinks for her one after another. “Ladies, let’s play a drinking game.” Robin happily replied, “Hell yeah!

You drank his drink but not ours? Let us feed you too!” Celine was feeling a little overwhelmed by the eager attention. Across the room, Adam’s sharp eyes narrowed dangerously. His chiseled jaw tightened as he stood and headed straight for Celine’s booth.. Celinee was sipping her drink when a strong, defined hand reached over and grabbed her delicate wrist. He lifted her off the couch as easily as if she were a child. Shocked, she looked up and was met with Adam’s handsome face.
