Celeste knew that smile of his was a subtle jab at Jorge and nodded. “Mm.”
Wynn noticed that Matthias was genuinely good to Celeste and frowned.
Although Jorge and the others had said they were busy and couldn't join the dinner, their work there was already
done, so they headed downstairs with Celeste and Matthias, preparing to leave InnovaTech.
At that moment, Wynn received a phone call. After hanging up, she said, “Trevor is almost here too. I'll leave
with you.”
By the tthey reached the ground floor, Trevor was already waiting outside.
When he saw them, he got out of the car and greeted both Jarge and Matthias. He also glanced at Celeste but
didn’t say anything to her.
Meanwhile, Wynn had already moved to stand beside him the moment he stepped out of the car. Seeing them.
together, they truly looked like the perfect couple.
As Jorge exchanged pleasantries with Trevor, Matthias smirked slightly and said in a detached tone, “Mr. Fleming,

Trevor replied, “Take care, Mr. Yoder.”
With that, Matthias and Celeste left.
After having dinner with Jonathan and the others, Celeste drove home.
The moment she arrived, Beck's call cin. She hesitated briefly before answering, “Mr. Harper.”
“The contract has been signed,” Beck said. “You can call your uncle to confirm and then get back to me.” Before
she could respond, he had already hung up. Celeste didn’t expect Beck to move so quickly. Even so, she didn’t
trust him completely.
After a brief thought, she called Ivan. “Uncle Ivan, did the company just sign a project deal with the Harper
family?

“Yes.” Ivan sounded quite pleased with the company’s progress but was also a bit puzzled. “Cel, how did you find
out about this?”
“I heard it from someone,” Celeste replied vaguely before changing the subject and asking about him and his
family briefly before ending the call.
Then, she called Beck back. He answered immediately.
Celeste said, “I'm free on Saturday and Sunday.”
Beck responded, “Alright. Do you want to set the time, or should 1?”
“You set it.”
“Okay.”

“No need. I'll get my own.”
“Alright, see you on Saturday.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Celeste headed to the company. At 5:00 pm, Jordyn called, saying she was craving
Celeste’s cooking.
So, Celeste went over that evening.
Trevor wasn’t home-apparently, he was on a business trip. So, she ended up staying the night.
The next day, before taking Jordyn to school, Celeste remembered her skiing plans with Shanice on Saturday and
grabbed the ski equipment she had left there earlier.
This way, she wouldn't have to go out and buy new gear later.
Seeing this, Jordyn asked, “Mom, are you going skiing?”
“Yes, in a few days.”
Jordyn’s eyes lit up. “I want to go too!” She had gone to the ski resort with Wynn and the others a few days ago
but hadn’t had enough!
