Chapter 89 Celine's Plan

His voice trailed off as he realized he hadn't told Michael and the others that he and Rachel had been living together.

Jack thought Rachel might feel embarrassed. He tried to change the subject and alleviate their suspicions. "We'll drop you off on the way home. Would that be fine with you?" he asked.

"You don't have to. I came with Lucas, and he'll drive me back," Rachel politely refused.

Jack had heard from Rick that she did come here with Lucas.

In truth, he was trying to tell Rachel that they could go back home together later.

But to his dismay, she refused without a hint of hesitation.

His face twitched, but he tried to hide his disappointment from Rachel. "So where is he right now?" he asked.

Rachel didn't know how to answer that because she herself didn't know where Lucas was right now. "If you can't find him, I can drive you home," Jack offered again.

Marcus noticed that some people were approaching them. He tapped Jack's shoulder to catch his attention. "We should find somewhere more private. There are a lot of prying eyes and ears here," he whispered to Jack.

More and more people would come and mingle.

Soon they would be surrounded by people that would flock around them like flies. Marcus didn't want to endure that kind of trouble.

Rachel didn't exactly say yes or no to Jack's offer.

Now she had no choice but to leave this place with them first.

Celine was only here because of Rona. If not for Rona, she would not be able to come here as she was not invited.

Claris and her brother had different friends. She had just come back from abroad, s

den, a fireworks display was being set up. Many workers went in and out, passing through where Lea and Henry had been staying.

Because of this, they didn't feel comfortable talking anymore. "Why don't we go inside?" Henry suggested.

Lea nodded and stood up. There was something different in the way that she walked. She held such elegance and delicacy that only princesses could have.

It was dark outside, so Lea didn't notice that Henry blushed a little.

"Let's go back to the banquet hall.

They are looking for us," said Henry.

Lea felt a little shy. She once thought that she would express her feelings straightforwardly if she fell in love with someone. But it seemed that she was wrong.

The path was too narrow for them to go through at the same time.

Lea noticed two workers coming towards them. They both held fireworks in their hands.

She stopped and tried to move aside to avoid it. Henry reached out his hand and protected her from getting hit. This thoughtful action impressed her. She thought that he was quite the gentleman for protecting her.

The two workers walked through the narrow path, with large boxes of fireworks in their hands. There were some branches on both sides of the path that stretched out into the pathway.

She didn't want her clothes to tear or get dirty, so she had no choice but to avoid the branches.

The worker in a blue uniform couldn't help but look at Lea, and their eyes met momentarily.

He looked away in a hurry. The two workers left quickly.

'Why did the workers leave in such a hurry? Am I ugly or something?' Lea thought to herself.
