Chapter 23 Be Prepared to Bear the Consequences if You Bother Mr Meister

Celeste then thought about it seriously and complained to him. “I don’t know what the corporate culture is like in your company, but there’s one thing I particularly disagree with!”

“Right.” Julian was as calm as ever. Tell me about it.

“That Love Forever series that will be launched at the end of the year-Miss Mack doesn’t allow me to participate in the design! That’s not fair!

“How can she say that I will drag down the entire Design Department just because I don’t have at track record?

“Let me ask you, Mr. Meister. Is there anyone who is born with a track record? Did they bring their achievement from their past life to this life?

“How would she know if my ideas are good or not if she doesn’t even let me try?”

Julian patiently listened to her complaints before eventually asking, “Did she tie your hands up? Or did she forbid you from picking up a pen?”

“Well… not exactly!” Celeste felt somewhat embarrassed by his words.

“If I were you, I would take my design drafts and show her instead of complaining to the boss.”

“You were the one who asked if my day went well! Celeste then thought to herself, I wouldn’t dare do that if you don’t give me the permission.

Julian was starting to realize how sharp-tongued this little lady was. He already noticed this when. she confronted Ella.

But his words did make a lot of sense to Celeste.

Instead of getting worked up, she should design something!

Even if Chelsea ended up not looking at it, Celeste could always show it to her husband!

Julian didn’t know why he suddenly cared about her. In fact, he felt conflicted about using her as a substitute even when she clearly was not Natalia.

Celeste’s voice rang out when he got up and started to leave.

“By the way, Grandpa called me today.” She casually picked up a cushion to hide her embarrassment while changing the subject.

“He said we should arrange for our parents to meet.”

“I’m busy.” The man merely glanced at her.

Hearing that put a smile on Celeste’s face. “That’s what I told Grandpa.”

However, Julian knew that it was only a matter of time before they would go through this process when his grandfather was in control. He finally threw out, “Let’s do it on Saturday.”

“I told Grandpa that, too.” The woman sitting cross-legged on the couch smiled at him.

Julian’s expression flickered, and he glanced at her intently.

Seeing the gentle smile on her face, he promptly looked away and turned to leave.

Julian couldn’t fall asleep tonight. He had been busy at work due to the significant personnel. changes in the company which was the result of his careful consideration.

Some people were not accustomed to it, some were forced to accept it, and some came to beg him for mercy. He was exhausted from dealing with it all.

Celeste, who was lying quietly beside him, couldn’t help her accelerating heartbeat when she thought about Julian’s handsome face and perfect figure.

She stole a glance at him, only to see him lying there with his hands behind his head. He must be resting his eyes, she thought.

This reminded Celeste of the injury on his arm. I can only get herbal medicine to treat it when I have time. Even though he is the CEO of a conglomerate, he must have the same worries that bugged ordinary people.

As her mother had finally gathered the courage to divorce Philip, Celeste thought of asking Julian if he knew any reliable lawyers in his circle, as Philip would definitely not agree to a normal.

divorce.

They would have to go to court to finalize the divorce.

But when Celeste noticed Julian’s exhaustion, she had to hold herself back and replace another opportunity to talk to him about the matter even if he wouldn’t necessarily agree to help her.

The next morning, a Lamborghini arrived at the entrance of Greatrep Group. As Julian got out of the car, Philip suddenly rushed in his direction. “Are you Celeste’s husband?”

Julian only looked at him without any change in his expression, and he didn’t answer Philip’s question either. His tall and straight figure exuded an extraordinary aura.

“I am her father!” Philip did not falter because of Julian’s attitude. “You punk, you took my daughter away without giving a dowry! I can forgive your impetuosity, but I demand 140,000 as compensation!”

At this moment, a few bodyguards came out, but they stopped on the steps when Julian made a simple gesture.

Philip continued to stare at him. He was confident he could get money from Julian!

After all, the younger man was the CEO of Greatrep Group.

Meanwhile, Celeste happened to have just gotten off the bus and was walking in their direction when she saw what was going on. Her heart immediately sank, and she dashed forward.

“My wife told me not to indulge you.” Julian knew Philip’s background and understood his intentions. “I’m sorry, but I have a strict wife.”

After saying that, he strode toward the company lobby.

When Philip realized what was happening, he started to chase after him, only to be stopped by

the bodyguards. “Be prepared to bear the consequences if you bother Mr. Meister!”
