When Celestine got home to the condo where they were staying, she immediately sat in the living room and turned on the TV to watch. He was still grinning because he knew any moment now, someone would come and knock on his door.While Celestine was watching like that, she suddenly heard her cell phone ring. She looked at it and saw Angelo calling her. She immediately answered it."I told Logan where you are staying, Ma'am!" Angelo said to Celestine."Alright, Angelo. If Logan has anything for you to do, tell me immediately," Celestine said to Angelo.When Celestine left the city, Angelo became her bridge to know everything happening with Logan and the Buenaventura Group of Companies.Angelo was loyal to Celestine. He was one of her confidants because, from the very beginning, she could count on him for everything she wanted to do.Celestine looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It's still early in the morning.How is Roma? ' she couldn't help but think of her son.She knew that Roma was kind and intelligent, but he was in another country now. Discrimination among children cannot be avoided when there is something new in their school or class.Celestine was still in the living room watching. When he looked at the clock, it was past eleven. He stood up from his seat and decided to cook. He intends to go to his son's school and bring him lunch if he does not come to the person he expected.Celestine prepared everything to use and ingredients in her cooking, a mechado.Roma's favorite was the mechado, so Celestine just smiled as she cut the ingredients.Celestine's cooking went well, and she was just waiting for it to cook. She was busy cooking when she heard someone ring the doorbell.She washed her hands and went to the door to open it. When she opened it, a man with a serious face, Logan, stood before her.He held a white rose. Vincent was by his side, supporting Logan." How did you know where I live, Mr. Morales? " Celestine pretended to be surprised by Logan's sudden appearance."That's not important, Miss Montiano. I'm here to talk to you," Logan told her."Come first," Celestine invited Logan with a smile."I'll just wait for you in the car, sir," Vincent said goodbye to Logan, who just nodded.Logan entered the house. He looked around. The condo was quite spacious and had modern equipment.Celestine looked at the time, and it was past twelve. Celestine smiled at the thought. She wasn't sure if what she was thinking affected Logan, but there was no harm in trying."I've already cooked lunch, Sir. Let's eat while we talk about why you came here," Celestine invited Logan.Logan couldn't speak because he just stared at Celestine. He didn't know why Celestine had this effect on him. It was just now that they met for the first time, but he felt they had known each other for a long time.They both walked to the dining table. Logan sat down while Celestine prepared lunch.Logan couldn't help but watch Celestine, especially when Celestine looked and smiled at him.Every movement of her body, every smile that Celestine gave, and every look that she wanted to convey something was the reason why Logan swallowed his saliva.' Is he trying to seduce me? ' Logan asked himself.That immediately came to Logan's mind because of Celestine's movements.He didn't make a mistake because that's precisely what Celestine was doing. She's testing Logan to see if what she's doing will work, and from what Celestine could see, what she's doing seems to be affecting Logan.After Celestine finished preparing food, she sat down in front of Logan. Logan looked at the food she prepared and was surprised because his favorite was the dish prepared by Celestine!"Let's eat first," Celestine said to Logan.Celestine hands Logan some rice. While she was doing this, Logan was just looking at her.He remembered what Celestine was doing. A memory that he can never get back, the memory of his former wife, Celeste.During the four years Logan and Jessica were together, and he never experienced serving her. Jessica always scolded Logan that she was the reason for his rise.Logan admitted to that, but even so, he still couldn't like or love Jessica. Jude was the result of Jessica's desperation. Then, he twisted Logan in her hand until she got what she wanted, which made him lose the woman who loved him purely."Don't you want a mechado, sir? I'll just order something if you don't want it."Celestine's words brought Logan back into his trance.He looked at his plate of rice and rain. He grabbed the spoon and fork and began to eat.In just one bite, Logan stopped eating. The taste! It tasted the same as the mechado of Celeste, his ex-wife! He doesn't know if it's just a coincidence, but he can't be wrong. This is what Celeste, his dead wife, cooks!He looked at Celestine, "What did you put here in Mechado?" Logan stuttered, asking him.Celestine smiled because of Logan's question, "Why? Isn't it delicious? Don't you like it?" she asked." No, It's good. I just want to know what you put in so I can tell our servants to cook it," Logan countered."I can't say. That's the secret of the person who taught me to cook," Celestine answered, referring to Selena.Logan didn't ask again and continued eating. Celestine just watched him as he ate rice and dishes. It's like Logan hasn't eaten in months because of his series of bites.Celestine also started eating. Her plan earlier to bring his son to the mechado was difficult because of Logan.They didn't even have a chance to talk because Logan was busy eating the foodWhen they finished eating, Logan was very full. Only now has he had his fill like this for a long time? Just now, he tasted a strange mechado like his dead wife's cooking."You go to the living room first, and I'll just fix it here," Celestine ordered, but he didn't move."I'll be here," Logan told him.Celestine just shook her head and let Logan go.Logan watches Celestine's every move. He didn't know, but he had a strong feeling, feeling that Celestine was telling him something."Miss Montiano," Logan called her name.Celestine turned to him." Why, Mr. Morales? " Celestine asked with a smile."Are you trying to seduce me?" Logan asked Celestine.Celestine didn't answer Logan's question.Celestine walked over to where Logan was sitting and faced him. He raised his hand to caress Logan's face.Logan couldn't move what Celestine did to him. In his mind, he wanted to go away, but why couldn't he do it?Celestine's touch surrounded Logan. He even closed his eyes when he felt his soft and warm hand.As he closed his eyes, he saw his ex-wife, Celeste.Logan opened his eyes when Celestine stopped stroking his face.He swallowed when he saw Celestine's smiling face.' Why do I feel this way? We just met and talked today, but why does it seem like we've known each other for a long time? ' Logan asked himself.Celestine was about to caress her face again, but Logan quickly grabbed her hand. He looked at her seriously even though Celestine was smiling."I'm going to tell you, Miss Montiano. I was hoping you could stop what you're doing because I'm only attracted to my wife! I'm only attracted to Celeste!"
