Chapter 289 Both Sides of the Spectrum
“Does that mean you’re tricking her?” I was shocked as I looked at Atlas.
He looked at me and pinched my nose, saying “You’re clever.”
“Aren’t you afraid you can no longer do anything about the situation if she works with Atticus?” I probed.
He shook his head. “Do you think Atticus will work with just anyone?”
I knew Atlas was right. Atticus was a sly fox, no matter who he dealt with. Atlas patted my face and said,” If you can’t reach my phone, email me. I can check that anytime. I’m making things look like my personal
affairs so Celine can’t control me.”
I knew I’d miss Atlas as soon as he left. I couldn’t imagine how I would manage without him beside me.
“Remember, secure maximum benefit if there are developments on Atticus’s side. Don’t be so loyal to
him because he won’t do the same for you. Ultimately, it’s all about interests.”
I felt somewhat anxious after hearing his words. I didn’t know how long he would be away. However,
based on his instructions, I suspected he would be gone for a long while.
“What will you do if Celine does work with Atticus?” I looked at him. I wanted an answer because I knew
Celine and Atticus wouldn’t refuse regarding interests.
Atlas didn’t answer me directly. Instead, he idly played with my hair. I asked again, “Is there something
you want me to do?”
He smiled at me charmingly and leaned down to kiss me. “Yes, take good care of yourself and stay pretty
while awaiting my return. Also, “feed” me.”
“Okay! Yeah, I’m going to see Atlas since he’s leaving for a business trip today,” Stella said.
I smiled when I realized she was unsure if I was with Atlas. I nodded politely and said, “All right, then. I’m
in a hurry, too.”
I didn’t wait for her response and walked away. I knew the concierge wouldn’t reveal anything irrelevant
to people, either.
I contemplated Atlas’s words about Celine working with Atticus when I reached my office. I called Carol and asked her to bring me our recent contracts with Atticus. After carefully examining several of them, I
remembered a few things that made me uneasy.
Immediately after, I called Adrian to ask if he was at the law firm. Soon after, I went there to meet him. I
knew I had to be cautious if Atticus was colluding with Celine.
