Chapter 81 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• Celeste shook her head, “There was no need. No matter how successfull am in voice acting. I’m still a newbie as an actress” Besides, such experience might not necessarily benefit her acting career. In fact, her achievements in voice acting could hinder her future development. Zach stared at her for a while, seemingly pondering something, then finally asked, “What’s your phone number? Give me your personal contact info Celeste hesitated Zach said casually, “After all, Kendrick introduced you” Celeste thought there was no need to be so blunt…. Zach only asked her to leave her phone number, without giving his. In other words, this one-way contact was simply to give Kendrick an explanation. After the lunch, Celeste returned to the villa Though, she appeared calm upon learning the role went to someone else, her inner disappointment was known only to her. She had fantasized about achieving career success after her divorce, causing Liam to regret his words. That now seemed like a pipe dream. What level of success should an actor achieve? A famous actress? Yet now, she couldn’t even land a minor role. Things weren’t as simple as they seem for a woman who got married right after graduation. Real-life competition was fierce, and no matter the means, only the winner was deemed victorious. Being sheltered by Liam for so long had simplified her thinking. How would she expect someone to take a role in such a way? “Ma’am, it’s time for your medication.
• ” The maid’s voice interrupted Celeste’s thoughts. Without turning around, she smelled the familiar scent. The maid placed the bowl of medicine on the table, and unwrapped a chocolate bar in front of Celeste. The maid said, “This is chocolate extra sweet. After drinking the medicine, bite into it, and it won’t taste so bitter.” Celeste sighed. Taking her medicine always felt like a battle that annoyed her. Remembering Skyler’s words at the hospital, she took the bitter medicine, downing it all in one shot to the maid’s amazement. It was so bitter! She put down the bowl, drank some water, and the taste in her mouth gradually faded. “Martha, I’ll take my medication on time from now on. You don’t have to report everything to her like you’re doing now.” Celeste said. Martha’s face changed, “I don’t understand what you mean…” Celeste glanced at her, “My mother-in-law sent you here to take care of us, primarily to ensure I take my medication, right? I will do that. As for other matters like my arguments with Liam or our intimate relations, please don’t tell her. Matters between a husband and wife are private, even though you were arranged by my mother-in-law, revealing them would still be an invasion of privacy Celeste continued with a reminder, “And now your salary is paid directly into your account by Quantum, which is managed by my husband. You should know who your boss is and who you’re working for.
• you can’t even do that, I don’t mind asking my husband to find a new maid” Martha’s face turned ugly, “I was sent by Skyler. You don’t have right to do this.” Celeste just smiled and calmly said, There are a thousand ways for me to fire you. I just don’t want to do it. If I fire you, my mother-in-law might get angry, but with my husband on my side, she’ll just ignore me for a few days. But you? This job comes with high salary and numerous vacation days, but it won’t be easy finding another job like this at your age in J City, would it? I’ve heard your husband was laid off recently, and your son just started college. This job must be important to you, right?” Martha trembled with anger. Celeste had been too gentle for so long that everyone assumed she was a harmless rabbit. In reality, she was a leopard with claws and fangs! How could Celeste possibly be a rabbit, being able to stand out among many wealthy daughters? Liam was powerless against her, let alone a mere maid. Even if Martha was loyal to Skyler, if Celeste could maintain her position as Liam’s wife, she would be the future hostess of the Reed family. But could she hold on to that position? Martha was angry but didn’t dare provoke her further. Firing her was well within Celeste’s rights. She lowered her head and hoarsely apologized, “I’m sorry, ma’am. It won’t happen again.” Celeste skipped dinner and went to bed early. She didn’t know when Liam returned, but when she woke up the next day, she was the only one in the bedroom, and it seemed like Liam hadn’t come back at all Upon asking Martha, she was told Liam had returned around 11 PM and likely spent the night in the study.
