Chapter 184
Celeste was stunned for a moment.
Even though Caleb invited her to dance again, she could tell that he didn’t mean it romantically.
It was just a gesture of apology and friendliness.
Seeing his sincerity, Celeste obliged and placed her hand in his.
Beck had already got off the dance floor.
His expression darkened when he noticed that Celeste and Caleb were back on the dance floor, dancing together.
Wynn, too, was a little surprised when she saw how Caleb had invited Celeste for another dance.
Trevor saw them as well.
He lifted an eyebrow, smirking. As though nothing had happened, he continued his dance with Wynn.
Moments later, Trevor received a call. He and Wynn stepped off the dance floor.
It just so happened that Miles didn’t want to keep dancing either.
Hence, Miles and Wynn made their way to Beck, whose gaze had hardly left Celeste.
Celeste and Caleb were still dancing
Miles took a sip of his drink, his gaze settling on Celeste. “Caleb seems pretty interested in her. But, you know, with such a distinguished family, they would never approve of her, even if he really likes her,” he said.
After all, Celeste had been married and even had a child. Given how the Rodriguezs were barely holding on, it’d be shocking if the Jennings ever accepted her.
Miles didn’t say those words aloud, but Wynn knew what he was trying to convey.
Having stayed at Baumond for so long, she knew the Flemings, Harpers, Quintons, Jennings, and Robinsons were * among the most prestigious families in the city.
She had guessed before that Caleb came from an influential family–maybe even the Jennings.
And she was right.
Maybe Caleb did like Celeste, yet that didn’t mean it was in a romantic way.
As for Celeste marrying into the Jennings? That was nowhere near happening.
Just as Wynn was mulling over it, she saw Caleb and Celeste walk away from the dance floor.
After a brief nod to Celeste, Caleb walked away without a trace of reluctance.
Wynn smiled.
It seemed like she had guessed it right.
She knew Celeste simply wasn’t the kind of woman who could make a man like Caleb fall for her at first sight.
Miles averted his gaze. “I’m a little hungry after all those dances. Wanna go for a bite?” he asked.
Seeing Celeste and Matthias walk to the buffet area, Beck answered, “Okay.”
Chapter 184
Wynn let Trevor–who was still on his phone–know where they were headed before leaving with Miles and Beck
to the buffet area.
As they arrived, several people at the buffet area came over to greet them.
Some even took the opportunity to discuss potential business collaborations with Beck and Miles.
Wynn stood aside as she listened to them talk.
Just then, Caleb and Jorge came.
When Jorge noticed her, he walked over. “Hello, Ms. Locket
Wynn wore a faint smile, “Hi, Mr. Robinson.”
“Where’s Mr. Fleming? Why isn’t he with you?
“He’s busy making calls now.”
Realizing that Wynn and Caleb hadn’t been introduced, Jorge took the initiative. “Ms. Locket, this is my good friend, Caleb Jennings.”
Then, he turned to Caleb and said, “Caleb, this is Ms. Locker”
Caleb extended his hand. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Locket.”
Wynn shook hands with him. “Likewise.”
Celeste and Matthias were about to head to where they were as well.
When he saw them, Matthias clicked his tongue in annoyance.
