Trevor didn’t lift his eyes from his phone when he replied, Alright.”
Hearing his agreement, Celeste felt relieved.
Martha was talking to the housekeeper and didn’t catch their conversation, but seeing that they actually had something to discuss, she smiled happily.
After dinner, Martha had someone bring over Celeste’s herbal medicine.
Trever had the dining room to take a call.
After finishing her medicine, Celeste had just stepped out of the dining room when she heard the sound of a car outside.
She paused. “Is he going out?
what he’s off
Martha huffed, annoyed. “Yes, he left in such a hurry. Who knows to do?”
Celeste frowned, suspecting that he had gone to InnovaTech to help Wynn again. But he had promised to have a talk with her later.
She hoped he would come back that night. But he didn’t.
Things had been busy at InnovaTech the past few days.
After having breakfast at the Fleming Manor, Celeste and Matthias met at the entrance of InnovaTech. By the time they arrived, Wynn’s team was already there.
Matthias remarked, “You guys are here early. Didn’t you work late last night?”
“They did,” Henry replied. “But to stay on schedule, they still came in first thing in the morning. Pretty intense, huh?”
Matthias didn’t bother commenting further, and Celeste simply focused on her own work.
Over an hour later, just as Celeste was about to head to the restroom, Trevor showed up. But, it didn’t seem like he was here for Wynn.
After greeting Wynn from afar, he walked straight toward them.
Matthias asked, “Mr. Fleming, is there something we can do for you?
ול
Trevor said, “I took some time to look into the system you’ve been developing these past few days. It’s quite impressive, but I have some additional ideas I’d like to discuss with both of you.”
Matthias glanced at Celeste before saying, “Please, go ahead, Mr. Fleming.”
Celeste hesitated before excusing herself. “Sorry, I need to step out to the restroom. You two go ahead.”
Both men nodded in acknowledgment.
On her way back, Celeste was only a few steps away from them when a sharp voice rang out from the direction of the conference room.
“Ms. Locket!”

Then, a commotion erupted.
Celeste instinctively turned to look, but before she could fully take in the scene, Trevor’s expression changed drastically.
He rushed past her toward the conference room, bumping into her shoulder with such force that pain shot through her, nearly knocking her over.
Matthias quickly stepped in to steady her. “Are you alright?”
Celeste clutched her shoulder where she had been hit, shaking her head. “I’m fine.”
As she spoke, she watched Trevor carry Wynn out of the conference room, swiftly disappearing from sight.
Henry, witnessing the scene, asked, “What happened to Ms Locket?”
“She fainted,” Albert replied. “Probably from overworking and exhaustion.”
Matthias’s face darkened. Remembering how Trevor had been so anxious about Wynn that he didn’t even notice nearly knocking Celeste over, Matthias gritted his teeth. “She won’t die!”
Seeing how furious Matthias was, Henry chuckled awkwardly. “Matthias, Mr. Fleming was just too worried about Ms. Locket. There’s no-
Matthias snapped, “Shut up!”
Henry could only shut his mouth.
Celeste genuinely didn’t care anymore. Seeing Matthias’s concern for her, she smiled lightly. “It’s not a big deal. It doesn’t hurt much now.”
Matthias pressed his lips together. “Do you want to go home and rest?”
Celeste shook her head, patted his shoulder, and said, “I’m not that fragile. Let’s get back to work.”
“Alright,” Matthias mumbled in response, then hesitated before asking, “It’s been a while… Why haven’t you and Trevor finalized your divorce yet?”
Celeste said, “I’d like to know that too.”
Last night, she had wanted to discuss exactly that with Trevor–when they could officially finalize their divorce.
But he had left abruptly and completely forgotten about their conversation.
