Chapter 285
Celeste’s expression shifted slightly. She pushed him away and said, “Let me…”
Trevor interrupted her and said, “Hold the umbrella,”
At the next moment, he swooped her up and carried her down the steps before she could say anything. She was still in his arms when he tumed around and said to the others, “I’ll be taking my leave now. Let’s hang out again when we have the chance.”
The businessmen who were considerably close to him were actually a little stunned. After all, everybody knew about Celeste’s relationship with Matthias.
If Matthias let her represent YodaVision Co. for the forum hosted by the government, it also meant that things were still fine between them…
Trevor had his own girlfriend. Even if he did have feelings for Celeste, he really should have exercised some restraint. Instead, he openly did something so intimate to someone else’s girlfriend. In all honesty, he demonstrated a massive show of disrespect for Matthias.
After all, Matthias had some fearsome pulls and influence. He wasn’t someone who could be trifled with.
With that said, they didn’t voice their thoughts. Instead, they smiled awkwardly and said, “Okay. Let’s hang out again.”
There were so many people here. So, Celeste had no choice but to say, “Thanks, Mr. Fleming. We’re off the steps now. I can walk on my…”

Trevor was steadily carrying her to his car. When he heard what she said, he lowered his gaze and glanced at her. He said, “You are indeed skinnier.”
“You can’t…”
Trevor’s driver noticed that he and the others had already come out from the venue, and he was already standing by the car and waiting for them.
He felt somewhat surprised when he saw that Trevor had someone in his arms. Taking a closer look, he realized that it was Celeste, which made him feel even more surprised.
“Mrs. Fleming?”
At the next moment, Trevor’s driver hurriedly opened the car door for them.
Only now did Celeste realize that Trevor wanted to give her a ride. She said coldly. “My car is right over there.”
Trevor signaled for his driver to take the umbrella from Celeste before putting her in the backseat. He said, “You twisted your ankle. Are you sure you can
drive?”
She responded nonchalantly, “I can always get someone to pick me up.”
Before Trevor could say anything, Jorge had already walked over. “Mr. Fleming.”
He closed the door and took Celeste’s umbrella from his driver. Turning around, he responded with a grin, ” You’re still here, Mr. Robinson.”
Jorge knew that Celeste was in the car, but the reflective film on Trevor’s car did its job so well that he couldn‘ see her from outside. He turned his gaze back to Trevor and said, “Is Ms. Rodriguez inside?”
Trevor said, “Yeah. Her ankle is twisted. I’m taking her to the doctor.”

“I have some free time. Furthermore, I happen to have something to discuss with Ms. Rodriguez. Mr. Fleming, if It’s okay with you, I can take her to the hospital.”
Trevor chuckled. “What are the odds? As fate would have it we also have something to talk about. Maybe next. time, Mr. Robinson.”
Jorge’s expression darkened.
Trevor said, “The wind is very strong here, and your clothes are all wet, Mr. Robinson. You should go back to your car and take a rest.”
Jorge knew that he wasn’t in a place to comment on anything, even if Trevor had the intention to cheat with Celeste. So, he nodded in response, cast a glance at the backseat, and walked away.
Trevor’s car had incredible soundproofing, which meant that Celeste couldn’t hear the exchange between him and Jorge. With that said, she did notice the look on Jorge’s face when he looked into the car.
She was aware of Jorge’s feelings for Wynn. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t hear their conversation. She still had a good idea about the reason he came here.
Eventually, Celeste stopped paying attention to them. Turning her gaze away, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number, asking someone to pick her up there. At the same time, she also lowered her head and checked her ankle.
She felt much better once she made sure that her ankle wasn’t hurt too badly and that she could walk. Putting her phone down, she opened the door and got out of the car.

Trevor heard the sound of a car door opening, and he turned around to check.
Celeste stepped out of the car and closed the door. She stepped forward quietly and took the umbrella from his hand
He lowered his head and looked at her ankle, “Are you okay!
It actually hurt a little, but Celeste could still walk. However, she didn’t say anything to him. She couldn’t be bothered to think about the reason he swooped her up and carried her in his arms.
She said nonchalantly, “Give me a call once the divorce procedures are done,”
What she meant was that there was no need for them to keep in touch with each other if it wasn’t about their divorce.
At the next moment, Celeste held the umbrella, walked past him, and left.
away.
Trevor watched her retreating figure, but he didn’t stop het Instead, he did nothing as she walked Their cars weren’t parked too far away from each other. He didn’t turn around and leave until she had safely gotten into her car. A while later, his car drove out of the parking lot. Then, Jorge’s car also left.
Reporters were present during the conference and meal. Celeste went to the hospital before she went home around 8:00 pm. She had just had dinner when the news regarding the forum was released.
At the same time, Wynn and Lilian were reading the news as well. They frowned when they realized that Celeste represented YodaVision Co. at an important government event.
Didn’t Celeste have some relationship issues with Matthias How could she have attended such a pivotal event on his behalf, then?
Wynn was aware of something. If Celeste had represented Matthias in such an important event, then she probably would have achieved nothing by sending in her resume.
Lilian’s furrowed eyebrows quickly relaxed. She gracefully took the bowl of soup her maid handed her and said, ” No rush. Let’s wait and see what happens.”
Celeste had a rather outstanding appearance, and Matthias wouldn’t be able to part ways with her just like that. It was normal for them to grow apart and get back together again from time to time.
With that said, the fact that they did split up meant that there was a crack in their relationship. They might still be together right now, but they probably wouldn’t last long.
That was why Wynn still stood a chance to work in YodaVision Co. and break the ice with Matthias.
On the other hand, Wynn also understood what Lilian means. After all, she had a similar take on the situation as well.
Aside from that, she didn’t feel bothered when she saw Celeste and Trevor sitting close to each other at the forum. She had confidence in both herself and him.
That was when Calvin came downstairs. “Wynn. You’re home.”
“Yeah.” Wynn asked, “How did things go at school?”
Calvin was in the 12th grade, and he transferred to Baumond starting this semester. Trevor’s men had already handled the necessary procedures. 1
