Seeing that it was Janice, Gary frowned and said in a serious tone, "Celeste, you sure have foresight. You knew someone would call us."
Celeste, who was originally worn out, immediately sat up in a struggle when she heard this. "Who is it?"
"Janice." Gary shook his phone and said, "The woman called me seven times."
Seeing him frown, Celeste didn't do anything. He didn't know Janice's feelings for him. If she said it, he would only take it as a joke.
Celeste didn't want to continue to be a bother as she had learned her lesson.
She didn't show anything and just said, "Is it another emergency?"
At this time, the phone lit up again.
Gary answered it. "Janice, why are you calling me?"
"I don't have any money. Can you lend me some?" Janice chuckled and said, "I came out and wanted to eat something, but I don't have any money."
"Janice Simpson, I don't owe you anything." Gary said in a serious tone, "You don't have money, and I don't either."
"Oh, c'mon, I really have no choice." Janice tried to butter him up. "Come and send me some money."
"Send it to you? Now?" He sneered, "Looks like you really think highly of yourself. If you don't have money, you can contact the consulate and notify your family to come and pick you up."
"You really won't save me?" Janice said, still trying to butter him up.
"Janice, I'm well aware of the amount of money in the card I lent you." Gary said seriously, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Janice was stunned; before she could speak, Gary continued.
"I'm only willing to overlook this because of Lowell. He's my biological uncle. If you like him, just tell him. If you don't, then f*ck off. Don't always come to me."
Right after that, he hung up.
Celeste had been listening to the call the entire time. Seeing Gary's infuriation, she only shrugged. His hostility was flabbergasting.
After he hung up, Gary made a call to Lowell.
During this time, he looked at Celeste.
Celeste also looked at him, and her eyes were full of smiles. This time, he really had a firm attitude.
It was necessary to be resolute when rejecting a girl.
It would at least make him look very reliable.
"Wait for me. Let me give Lowell a call." Gary's gaze became profound the moment he saw Celeste. The temperature in him couldn't help but rise either.
Celeste nodded.
The call was connected.
Gary immediately turned to the phone and said, "Lowell, let me ask you a question."
"Go ahead." Lowell's tone was warm as always. "No need to beat around the bush."
"Do you like Janice or not?" Gary got straight to the point. He only wanted to know Lowell's attitude. If he didn't like her, then he didn't have to be too polite anymore.
"Why are you asking this?" Lowell asked in surprise.
Gary frowned and said in an even more dissatisfied tone, "Because your woman is killing me. She keeps harassing me. Even when I'm with my girlfriend, she has to be the third wheel. She's annoying the hell out of me." "Uh, your girlfriend?" Lowell smiled. "Is she
Celeste?" "Of course." Gary knew Lowell might have some concerns and was unwilling to confess. But he also made his stance clear. "If you like Janice, then deal with her yourself. If you don't, make things clear with her; don't drag me into this. Got it?"
"Her heart is not with me," Lowell said with a trace of bitterness in his tone.
"Who then, if it's not you?" Gary asked, "There are things even you can't handle?"
"Gary, I'll take care of Janice." Lowell's tone became much more serious. "Since your relationship with Celeste has gone public, you don't have to worry about Janice anymore."
"You've finally said something right." Gary said, "I'm officially informing you, if something happens again, look for someone else. I don't have time to deal with her."
"Okay." Lowell agreed without hesitation.
Gary hung up the phone and walked over to Celeste. He sat down, looked at her, and asked, "Satisfied?"
Celeste nodded. "Very."
"Alright, let's ignore these people. Every minute is worth its weight in gold." He put on an evil grin.
Celeste sighed and leaned into his embrace, muttering, "I'm exhausted. I just want to sleep."
Gary smiled, soul-stirring. Celeste's heart pounded involuntarily.
