Chapter 1.3: Lost In Translation

Last Time: Celeste found a job as an interior designer (Architect career) and meet Carl, a potential legacy mate.  But did he slip though her hands?

The answer is yes, Celeste will never see Carl again.  After tiresomely looking in the Simpages for Carl McMurphy she never found him listed.  He had now completely disappeared from her life. 

(He also seriously disappeared from my game, not kidding.)

But before Celeste had the chance to morn Carl, little did she know a new man was just about to come knocking at her door.

His name was Rich Richmond.  He was the client that the club manager was telling Celeste about.  He never mentioned how handsome and fit he was.  She did not hesitate one bit in inviting him inside.

Rich started to explain why he was so interested in her work and asked if she could work on his lounge room that needs to be revamped.

Celeste excepted Rich's job offer and the two began discussing ideas for the room.

  Celeste discovered that Rich loved art, which increased her interest in him.

 Little did Celeste know that Rich was not just interested in her design skills.  He was also interested in her.  He had noticed her around town and just had to meet her.

After discussing Celeste's red walls and cream carpet Celeste asked Rich more about himself.  He told her he was in business and was currently living with two females: his girlfriend and her friend.  GIRLFRIEND.

 Celeste pretended to like what she heard, but she didn't.

She carried on with hr conversation with Rich, holding in her feelings, even though she wanted to desperately let them out.

Celeste and Rich had talked for so long that they felt comfortable fair welling each other with a hug.  Celeste was all smiles.  She couldn't wait to see him again.

After her interesting day Celeste couldn't wait to tell her new best friend Karen all about Rich and how much she liked him but there was the small problem of his girlfriend.

While waiting to met Celeste saw Karen with her roommate Kerry, flirting.  Turns out Karen is a lesbian. Good for her, Celeste thought, it didn't bother her one bit.

Now on to the important stuff---Celeste's new love interest.  She told Karen she fancied someone.

When Karen started to ask questions Celeste felt bad about her feelings and was embaressed to say that she was interested in a taken man. 

Karen was shocked and worried about Celeste at the same time.  What was Celeste to do?  She wanted to be with him desperatly, or at least tell him how she felt.

Karen suggested that going down that path would lead to drama.  The two then picked flowers in the park and moved on to Celeste's place for coffee.

After talking about her situation over coffee Karen asked Celeste what her final dissison was and how will she take action?

Celeste told her that she was going to tell Rich how she feels and that she wants to be with him.

Karen hugged Celeste and wished her luck with what she was about to do.  Celeste was grateful that Karen  supported her no matter what she chose to do.

That night Celeste was having cold feet about telling Rich the next day.  Can she go though it?
