"It seems that you are good at keeping secrets." She stated after a moment of staring into each other's eyes.
Jack was silent for a moment. Although it was true that he loved Celine, it was also true that he wasn't going to reveal everything to her.
There were some of the things that had to be kept as a secret considering how they were. An example of this was the system. Even he himself currently didn't know the mysteries that laid behind the system.
He wasn't sure that if Celine came to know about it, things would continue going well for him or not. Additionally, even the existence of the system itself was something unbelievable.
And sometimes, it was always good not to reveal all your trump cards in front of even those that you trusted the most. After all, maybe Celine wouldn't want to reveal his secrets to his enemies, but who knew if his enemies had ways to get the information out of her?
If there existed methods like sealing the memories of a person, who said that there couldn't be methods that could be used to extract memories?
Just like a cliché line, 'I am doing this to protect you,' was the reason as to why Jack had managed to prevent himself from telling her about this. Of course, this was a self-forged reason. As for whether it was true or not, that remained unanswered.
"Actually, I simply had an impulse to start writing a script yesterday night. I had thought that the entertainment companies weren't performing well enough. And, the shortcoming that they were currently experiencing was the lack of scripts, quality scripts. So, I decided to give it a try. Who knew that I was this skilled?" Jack blubbered.
Celine squinted her eyes at Jack for a moment. She knew that whatever Jack had stated was not true. But since he was not telling her the truth, then she wasn't going to force him to do so.
In her mind, she currently thought that, perhaps this was a skill that he had acquired during the years that they had been apart due to the sealing of their memories.
And perhaps, during this period, the way that he acquired the skills of scriptwriting reminded him of something that he didn't want to remember. Or perhaps, he didn't want to describe it at the moment. As such, she decided that she was going to wait until the time that he was ready to tell her what happened.
"Are we done here?" Celine questioned. For some reason, on this specific day, she had been quite impatient. In fact, she had been acting all mysterious ever since they left the villa.
This was something that Jack had never seen her doing. All the same, he wasn't ready to invade her privacy by questioning about something that she didn't want to tell him about.
"Not yet. I should be handling a few more other things as the chairperson here. After that, I think I will be done in about an hour." Jack thought for a moment before he replied.
Celine heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that he was going to be done with what he was supposed to do here in an hour. It seemed that she was also racing against time.
ƥandasnovel.com "Okay then. Just complete what needs to be done as fast as possible. After this, I need to take you somewhere." Celine stated mysteriously.
Jack was perplexed for a moment. But in the end, he only shook his head as he agreed to her suggestion. In the end, he trusted her. Perhaps there was going to be a surprise.
Jack and Celine stayed at The Rose Entertainment Company as they continued taking care of some of the things that could be handled by only them.
Since it was true that The Rose and Kalmond Entertainment Companies were going to be merged soon, they themselves were already starting to handle some of the things that would help speed up the procedure.
Although the merging of the two companies was being handled by Denali, Jack thought that he might help as well. But of course, all of this was done during the last moment after he had completed making arrangements with Alex about the production of The Mini-kingdom.
According to Alex, if they used all the resources that they had, they could perhaps complete the production of the script in about 2 months. This was if quality was considered.
Furthermore, this contained the production, marketing, advertisement and supply into the market of the already produced movie. This was the efficiency of the entertainment company.
According to Alex's estimation, had the movie contained simple things, perhaps they could have completed it in less than a month. But all the same, Jack really didn't care about a month or two passing by. As long as the script that he had given was produced at a high quality, that was enough.
When they got out of the company, Celine decided to drive. As for the stars who were eagerly waiting for Jack's arrival, they were going to be disappointed as Jack wasn't going to show himself in front of them.
Of course, this was not part of his plan. But, this was due to a certain jealous someone who was hurriedly snitching him away from there.
As she drove the car, Jack looked around. He was wondering where Celine was taking him. As he looked at the streets, he found out that he was quite familiar.
In fact, he found that the area that they were heading towards was a place that he had been before. It was just that, he had not been visiting that place for a while now.
The two of them came to stop nearby a lake. This was the very same lake that Jack and Celine had come to during the time that they had become serious about the relationship between them.
He could already see that there were several boats that were floating on the lake. Just like before, he could see that at some certain corners, there were a few couples who were sneakily whispering to each other sweet words.
His brows rose a little bit as he wondered what was the reason as to why she had brought him here.
Unlike the last time, this time, Celine wasn't sneaking glances at the other couples that were around the lake. Instead, she looked at him with glittering eyes as she smiled mysteriously.
Immediately afterward, she grabbed his hand and pulled him impatiently towards the lake. She seemed to be in a hurry, just like how she was back at the company.
Jack didn't put in any efforts to resist. In fact, he wasn't surprised by how intimate she was with him. As such, he followed behind her as she led the way towards the area that they had picked a boat previously.
Unexpectedly, unlike the last time that they had to pay before they took a boat, this time, it was as if she had already reserved a boat for this trip.
Furthermore, although it wasn't night time yet, the scenery around the lake was still beautiful.
After the two of them got into the boat, Celine began paddling the boat towards the center. Ever since she had taken the body strengthening solution, she was strong, stronger than any normal male.
That was the reason as to why she had refused totally to let Jack do the paddling although he was a man. This time, she stated that this was special.
The lake this time wasn't full like the previous time that they had come over. In fact, Jack suspected that this was due to the fact that it was still midday.
Not long after, they arrived in front of Couple's Paradise Restaurant. This restaurant was well decorated, even more than it had previously been. In Jack's eyes, it was obvious that this was the work of someone, intending to make the place look cooler.
Even then, he was still suspecting that this was still related to Celine. Not to mention the fact that she had brought him over, but she had also already booked a boat that was supposed to bring them to the center of the lake.
But even so, he wasn't sure about what she was planning. At the same time, he was getting a certain nagging feeling that this might perhaps ruin his plans. But even so, he wasn't sure about what plans of his were going to be destroyed.
When they got into the restaurant, he found that the restaurant was almost empty. In fact, other than the attendants of the hotel who were working as waiters, there were no other customers present.
Even though it was true that this restaurant was always busy during the evenings, that didn't mean that during the day it was empty. But today was an exception.
After the duo got out of the boat, they headed straight for the entrance of the restaurant. And the moment that the two of them reached the entrance the restaurants staff members immediately arrayed themselves in two lines.
After that, they gave Jack and Celine a bow as they welcomed them into the restaurant.
This was yet another thing that Jack saw that was different from the last visit. Even if it was true that there was a change, could it be perhaps that there was a change in ownership of the restaurant?
Otherwise, how could there be such drastic changes that had occurred in such a short period of time? And, without any notice?
Still, Jack wasn't given time to deliberate about what was happening. Celine pulled him into the hotel. It was as if she found what had happened normal. This made him continue relating what was happening here to her.
After that, the two of them headed for the very familiar room that they had picked during their last trip. When they got to the door of the private room, Celine moved to the side and pointed towards the door for Jack to enter first.
Without any kind of hesitation, Jack pulled the doorknob and opened the door. The moment that he stepped his foot inside, he was forced to stop.
