Celine pondered the nature of the relationship between Nikki and Adam.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
âWhoâs it?â Celine asked. She opened the door to find a tall, handsome figure. It was Adam. She was curious why he had visited the womenâs dormitory.
She didnât want to talk to him and quickly moved to close the door. However, Adam stopped it with his hand. He stood , casting eyes downward. Celine, need to talk to you.â
âWell, I donât want to âYou have to!â Adam aggressively pushed the door open and walked in.
âCeline, Mr. Alvarez, feel free to chat. Weâre stepping out,â Halley suggested hastily, eager to provide some space for the two of them.
However, Robin refused to do so. âI donât want to Hailey swiftly covered her mouth, cutting her off, and pulled her away. As they made their exit, Hailey turned and added, âWe wonât be returning tonight.
Then, she closed the door thoughtfully.
Celine and Adam were left alone in the dorm room. Adam stepped closer, casting a shadow over Celine. âNothing happened between Nikkd and me. I didnât sleep with her.â
Celineâs eyes flickered as she lifted her gaze to meet his. âDo you really think I would believe that?â
Nikdi had a boyfriend, but that didnât mean she didnât sleep with Adam. 11 didnât sleep with her, why would he put so much effort into her career? Adam stood in the light and replied, âIf I slept with her, Iâll just admit it. Why would I not acknowledge the fact if I slept with a woman?â
Celine was rendered speechless by his arrogance. Yet, she believed he wouldnât lie if he had actually IL â
Nikki and youâ
âShe had taken y your place.â
Celine was confused.
Adam gazed at her enchanting face, his voice deliberately low, magnetic, and utterly captivating. âCeline, after you left that day, Nikki came in. The first person I s I saw when I opened my eyes was her, lying beside me. She claimed it her that nightâ
Celine was stunned as the reality hit her all at once. Earlier that morning, Nikki had intentionally reached out to her, urging her to step out, claiming it was an emergency. The moment Celine left, Nikki seized the chance to impersonate her.
It was all part of a cunning scheme she had orchestrated. They were like a living depiction of the farmer and the snake. Nikki had been interested in Adam for a long time.
Then Adam stepped closer and whispered, âI poured so much into Nikkiâs career helped her become a renowned celebrity because⦠I mistook her for you At that moment, they were incredibly , his breath brushing her face. The ambiguity made her heart race. He said he had confused Nikki for her.
Celine averted her gaze and replied icily, âI see.

Adarn smiled. âAre you really going to let me leave like this?â
