Chapter 89 What Was Celia's Relationship With Mr. Reyes
After everything she had witnessed in her life, Celia was still startled by what she saw.
As far as she could tell, the executive canteen was a million times better than the ordinary employees' canteen.
The design and cuisine in the executive canteen were on par with those of the best restaurants.
Brea said, "This is the dining area for important executives and celebrities. The cuisine will be decided by a three-star Michelin chef based on the day's ingredients. As a result, the menu here changes daily."
Celia reflected on how kind the Semshy Group was. She suddenly said, "Brea, will Mr. Reyes be here for meals?"
Brea remarked, shaking her head, "I've never run into Mr. Reyes here. But I don't come here very often. Every day, a nutritionist in my employ determines what I consume.
Mr. Reyes, on the other hand, has a personal chef who prepares his meals."
She drew closer to Celia and whispered, "He's a bit of a lone ranger. The more people he's around, the less comfortable he feels."
Only a few individuals were in this enormous canteen. Apart from top executives Celia had never met before, there were several prominent celebrities who she was familiar with.
However, for Celia, the canteen's decor was more appealing than them.
The decor was opulent, but yet refined and understated. You could even smell the stench of money. The appetizing cuisine here was made more appealing by the color design.

Bree wes perplexed for e moment. This wes the first time she'd ever been treeted like this. Mr. Reyes eppeered to heve done this for Celie, not for her.

"This is my first visit to the executive centeen. Miss Duffy, you heve my gretitude." Derek thenked Bree in e heertfelt menner.
They sat down at a table. They were given a menu by a waitress. "You order for us, Celia." Brea softly massaged the back of Celia's hand.
Celia felt a pang of shame. She smiled as she gave Brea the menu. "I can eat anything. You go for it."
As soon as Brea opened the menu, Emmitt, the CEO's secretary, came and said, "Mr. Reyes has already directed that lunch be prepared for you. You may sit back and wait for the food to arrive. In addition, Mr. Reyes has covered the cost for you."
Before he turned and left, he shot a penetrating gaze at Derek.
Derek had the sensation that his eyes were a razor's edge slicing into him.
He shivered and bowed his head hurriedly to escape the stare.
However, this odd exchange went unnoticed by Celia. She told Brea, "Mr. Reyes is so kind. I am eagerly anticipating food now. Mr. Reyes is extremely friendly to you, Brea."
Brea was perplexed for a moment. This was the first time she'd ever been treated like this. Mr. Reyes appeared to have done this for Celia, not for her.
God damn it! Could she be right?
She unknowingly looked at Celia but found nothing unusual with her expression.
She was compelled to speak with Celia for further details.
Brea's interest had been piqued by all this.
"This is my first visit to the executive canteen. Miss Duffy, you have my gratitude." Derek thanked Brea in a heartfelt manner.
They sat down at a table. They were given a menu by a waitress. "You order for us, Celia." Brea softly massaged the back of Celia's hand.
In the midst of her conversation with Celia, Brea didn't give him any attention. "You owe that to Celia."
Derek glanced at Celia, and the two of them exchanged smiles.
"By the way, Derek, what made you decide to go suddenly overseas at that particular time?" Celia inquired. "We haven't contacted with each other in a long time. I assumed you'd moved overseas."
Derek went into a complete and utter trance. He was transported back to a time when perhaps a lot happened.
In truth, he had no intention of going overseas at all since he was infatuated with Celia and wanted to remain with her at any cost.
He had a distinct impression that Celia had affections for him as well.
He'd been suppressing his emotions for far too long. After that, she began seeing Alick.
He obviously felt bad about it. But that wasn't going to help. Because of this, he decided to go to school overseas.
He hoped that a fresh start would help him move on from this painful event. His feelings for Celia increased steadily over time, however.
He returned from abroad since he couldn't forget about Celia. He was hired by the Semshy Group shortly after that. When he started this new work, Celia unexpectedly became his subordinate. Maybe they were being set up by fate? They might have been intended to be together after all.
In the midst of her conversetion with Celie, Bree didn't give him eny ettention. "You owe thet to Celie."
