My Rich Hot and Infertile or Maybe Not Husband

Chapter 1287

Seeing her obedient look, Nicolas couldn’t help but lean in and give her a peck on the cheek.

Trisha jumped in surprise, about to cover her face, but Nicolas caught her hand. He said to Trisha, “My friends are watching us. Don’t overreact, they’ll think we are putting on a show

Trisha suppressed the urge to wipe her face and glared at him, “Can’t you give me a heads–up next time? You scared me!”

Nicolas automatically translated it to mean, can you give me a heads–up next time before you kiss me.

So he readily said, “Sure”

With Nicolas‘ earnest and proactive attitude, Trisha didn’t dwell on it any longer. She just felt that her cheek was still a bit warm and a little uncomfortable.

As the star of the birthday party, Clair was very popular

As soon as Liam and Steven arrived, the gents at the venue pulled them aside for some chitchat. Celeste, left standing in one spot, was wondering if she should go find Trisha and Nicolas when Clair suddenly came over.

She took Celeste by the arm and said warmly, “Celeste, let me introduce you to some friends.”

Celeste didn’t really want to go. She wasn’t interested in Clair’s and Kaylee Reed’s friends.

But since Clair was the birthday girl, Celeste decided to be respectful and reluctantly followed her.

When Clair’s besties saw her leading Celeste over, they all frowned.

“Clair, why did you bring her along?”

Clair blinked, ‘Do you know her?”

They scoffed, “Of course we do. Mrs. Reed… Oh, sorry, it should be Ms. Campbell. Ms. Campbell is quite famous in our circle. She’s Kaylee’s former sister–in–law. We’ve met a few times.”

“She’s a big star now, so we should be polite.”

“Big star? She’s just an actress; everyone’s made such a fuss over her that she’s forgotten her place.”

“Exactly, she’s just an actress, there’s nothing fancy about that.”

Clair looked a bit awkward, ‘Don’t talk like that. Celeste is my invited guest.”

Everyone clearly didn’t take Clair’s words to heart

“What? Are you here to perform or something, Celeste? Did you study the arts in school? Are you gonna dance for us or play an instrument?”

“I think that’s a brilliant idea. I read online that she’s a good performer. Maybe she could do a little skit to entertain us.”

Clair looked awkward, but Celeste was pretty chill about it.

She thought to herself, no wonder Trisha said that I suck at judging people, I never took Clair for a phony until now.

She used to think that even though she didn’t really know Clair, there was no conflict of interest between them. So Clair had no reason to intentionally stir up trouble for her.

But now, it seemed like their conflict was a lot bigger than she thought.

It involved conflicts between their families, their status, and even their lovers.

She didn’t believe for a second that Clair had no grudges against her.

With that thought, she burst out laughing. If you’re interested, feel free to come to the J City Theater on the 27th of every month. I perform in the play Thunderstorm. You’re welcome to come and watch anytime

After she said this, everyone started to mock her, “What? Did you come here to advertise? Are you so broke that you’re selling play tickets at someone’s birthday party?”

Celeste shot the girl a look, like she was looking at a piece of ignorant trash, “Well, of course. Why on earth should I perform for you for free?”
