Back to My Worst Birthday and Starting Anew
Chapter 325 It’s Time to Give Tad a Raise
Celeste was speechless.
D*mn it, my favorite couple is so sweet together. Why are you interfering?!
Celeste almost swore out loud, but after hearing Rex’s comment, she felt a little relieved.
Looks like Rex and Mr. Emyr are sitting together and haven’t picked up on anything!
Great, that suits Rex’s playful yet clueless personality perfectly.

She quickly made up an excuse, “No way! If you follow along like this and get caught again, it’ll be a mess! You know how furious Charmaine can get!”
She’s right.
Rex was left speechless, stuck in an awkward position.
Ugh, what is Boss keeping from me?
Remembering the embarrassment he had just suffered at Emyr’s place, Rex decided to go all in and commanded Celeste, “Come with me right now.”
“Huh?”
Rex grinned, thinking his idea was foolproof. “If we get caught, I’ll just say we’re on a date and happened to be nearby.”
Celeste inhaled sharply. This shameless flirt is trying to use me as an excuse!
But she hesitated. If I turned him down and he tailed them secretly, wouldn’t that ruin Mr. Emyr and Charmaine’s time together?
“Fine. Wait there, I’m coming.”
Glancing at Dominic, she called out, “Dad, I’ve got something to do. Just go ahead and celebrate with Mom, okay? Bye!”
With that, she dashed away without a second glance.
Watching his daughter disappear in a flash, Dominic stood there, utterly confused.
“Could it be that my daughter has fallen for someone?”
But recalling Celeste’s fiery personality, Dominic quickly dismissed the thought. “No way. Who would be unfortunate enough to catch her interest?”
Charmaine followed the direction Emyr had indicated, only to discover that he had switched to a Rolls- Royce Cullinan. There wasn’t a single bodyguard in sight.
She lowered her head and swiftly got into the car.

The man’s eyes had been locked onto her from the moment she stepped out of the school gates.

Now, as she hopped into the car, Emyr’s gaze grew even more intense, watching her slightly breathless face without looking away.
“If I hadn’t switched cars, do you think you would’ve gotten in this easily?” he replied nonchalantly. But in his tone, Charmaine caught a hint of dissatisfaction.
Almost like he was sulking.
She couldn’t help but smile and deliberately hesitated before answering, “Probably not!”
Looking mildly irritated, Emyr let out a huff, then raised his hand as if to flick her forehead.
Charmaine instinctively squinted and leaned her head back.
But in an instant, instead of feeling any pain on her forehead, she felt a gentle warmth on her earlobes.
She opened her eyes again, only to find Emyr toying with her ears.
His brows furrowed slightly. “They’re freezing. Why didn’t you wear a scarf?”
The chilly wind had numbed even her ears.
Charmaine puffed up her cheeks. “We won’t be too long, I won’t freeze.”
Satan recoiled at the sensation. “It’s too cold, not good to touch.”
Charmaine was startled.
Listen to that. Does that even sound like something a human would say?
After warming one ear, Emyr reached for the other, signaling for her to come closer.
Charmaine gawked at him, but ultimately surrendered to the silent command in his icy gaze.
Scooting forward, she obediently settled into his waiting arms, pressing against his chest.
Maybe it was just her mind playing tricks, but the warmth from his fingers seemed to spread, making her face heat up as well.
At the front, Tad, who was driving, wisely raised the partition between the front and back seats.
Though the car had this function for years, it had never been used until now.
Now that Emyr and Charmaine were deep in a conversation about their relationship, it seemed unlikely that the partition would lower anytime soon.
Charmaine gaped in astonishment as the partition slid up, her eyes growing as round as coins.
“Hold on, what exactly is Tad trying to imply?” she blurted out.
It almost seemed like he thought that they were up to doing something improper in the backseat!
Emyr arched a brow and remarked approvingly, “Hmm, year–end is approaching. It’s time to give Tad a
raise

She slumped against him, tilting her head to meet his gaze. From this angle, Satan’s face, both divine and stern, still held an undeniable charm.
She huffed in frustration. “So, you showed up today without a single word, just to push me into interning at Cross Group?”
