Celia walks through the corridors, dazed, as if she is anesthetized or having an absence seizure.

Adrian approaches her. It was getting dark, and many employees showed up to clock out and go home.

"Sweetheart, what happened?" Adrian, always sharp, embraces Celia in front of the other employees.

The employees smile, thinking this couple always acted sweet and affectionate at all times.

Celia, however, does not return the embrace, continuing to act catatonic.

"Celia, you're worrying me!"

"Let's go," Celia finally asks.

"Okay, let's go home. Today I want pepperoni pizza." Adrian licks his lips, acting as if he hadn't eaten pizza in ten years.

As they passed through the exit turnstile, Celia couldn't help but make more comparisons.

From what she saw of Mark in that simple business suit, he still maintained a fit body and a toned stomach.

But Adrian, always the chubby one with a terrible appearance, made a point of announcing that he wanted pepperoni pizza for dinner... even though he had

    Jake and Celia got the fright of their lives. Jake even took two steps back, stumbling as if he had tripped over something.Celia spun on her heels and was horrified to find a furious Karl, with a... jealous look?“KARL, what do you think you’re doing here?!” She yelled indignantly.“You’re on my territory, lady,” Karl replied with a fierce gaze, symbolically piercing Celia.“I was just announcing my transfer and saying goodbye to my boyfriend. Can’t I?” Celia asked sarcastically.“No, you can’t. And what’s this about no one bothering you guys in his apartment?” Karl pointed at Jake with his firm chin.Jake composed himself, also finding all this absurd. “That’s none of your business, man!”“Wrong! It has everything to do with me!” Karl slammed the dressing room door so abruptly that the glass could have shattered.“Are you two dating?” Jake asked mockingly. “Excuse me, I thought I got here first.”“You got here first, but I got her from behind the entire night before!” Karl replied c

    Mark and Mary Ellen were surprised by Celia’s clever response, as she took advantage of it to leave and keep them intrigued.“What did she mean by that, ‘if Karl allows it’?” Mark broke the silence. “Is there any evidence that Karl wants to have relations with Celia?” The question was asked almost in an accusatory tone as if Mary Ellen had something to do with it.“N-no, Mark, I don’t know anything about that!”“I guess she wouldn’t tell you if she was plotting something, right?” Mark asked, shaking his head.“Mark, the only thing Celia and I have been talking about is Luana’s persecution of her,” Mary Ellen replied with more confidence. “In fact, today I witnessed the unfair treatment she suffered. Just to announce that she would be transferred here, Luana managed to turn this simple announcement into a long debate that lasted almost an hour!”Mark sighed. Briana must have been at the doctor’s office when that happened.Otherwise, she would have interrupted such a lengthy talk.“I’m

    “Can I have a word with you two?” Mark’s serious voice came from behind the friends. Celia, with her back to Mark, felt a slight shiver as she released the hug. “Hello, Mark. News about Briana?” “She’s on her way. The first prenatal appointment is scheduled for a few days from now,” Mark said with a slight smile. “Congratulations, Mark,” Celia said. “I don’t know if I told you before, but you deserve all this and much more.” “Thanks, Celia. Remember what I told you: this can happen to you too, as long as you make the right choices.” Celia swallowed hard. She had a growing feeling that Mark was trying to give her a warning behind those enigmatic and motivational phrases. Mary Ellen missed the message and continued, “Did you want to ask me something?” “I need you to stick close to Briana and write a really nice article about the news. Let’s publish this story in Glamour.” “Oh, Mark, I am so honored by the privilege!” Mary Ellen placed her hands on her heart. “You deserve it,”

    “I really needed a friend last night,” Luana replied, scratching the back of her neck. “I didn’t want to be disrespectful, thinking Briana exists only to serve me as a slave.” “You upset her quite a bit. Today, she went to the hospital to see the obstetrician with her mother.” Karl shook his head. “When she gets back, we’ll catch up.” Luana pursed her lips. “I wonder if Katrina took the news well.” “Probably, she must have brayed. But let’s not think about her,” Karl decided to soften the tone of the conversation. “Celia won’t be working with me at the ‘Times of Glory’ studios anymore. Satisfied?” Luana smiled broadly. “I am very satisfied!” “So, can we forget about this subject once and for all?” Karl’s voice carried a sense of urgency and desperation. “You can forget and rest assured. But I can’t, dear,” Luana said with pity. “I NEED to worry about both of us.” “That’s going to give you a mental breakdown, sweetheart! It’s too much, too much stress for your head!” Karl indign

  • Chapter 703 In the Obstetrics Ward

    ‘Bumped into’ was literally the word, because Katrina and Briana almost fell to the floor with the clumsy action.“OUCH!” Katrina’s things fell to the floor. Her bag opened and some papers became visible.“Why don’t you watch where you’re going?” Katrina quickly crouched down, picking up her bag and its contents.But she wasn't fast enough for Nadir. “What are you doing here?”“What are you talking about?” Katrina straightened up. “We’re in a hospital, correct?”“Yes, and you were entering the obstetrics ward.” Nadir’s eyes widened, holding her breath. “Don’t tell me you’re finally pregnant!”Briana was also astonished at the possibility. Indeed, it seemed that Katrina was entering where they were leaving...Katrina quickly shook her head. “Don’t be silly! This is a huge hospital! I’m not following you, nor do I have any interest in the slum dweller’s future baby!”Briana rolled her eyes. “Haven’t you realized yet that Mark no longer lives in the favela?”“He left the favela, but the

    “She tried to warn me...” Luana’s voice came out low, but Celia and Mary Ellen could hear her.Celia smiled mockingly. “How was that? Can you speak up, please?”“Celia, don’t push it,” Mary Ellen requested, but her face also conveyed mockery.“Let me guess,” Celia continued, striking a meditative pose. “Briana tried to tell you the news last night, but you were so absorbed in your complaints that she even lost the desire to tell you, was that it?”Luana clenched her fists in indignation. Celia seemed to read her mind.“You were nearby... it should have been me...” She growled.“It just so happens that we were at Sweet Aroma when it happened. Briana needed a breather; from people who bring new content to her life,” Celia replied sarcastically.Luana raised her index finger. “Hey, don’t try to teach me how to be a friend to Brie! Anyone hearing you like this would think you want to replace me.”“It won’t be my choice.” Celia sighed in a feigned manner and turned to Mary Ellen. “Come on,
