Celeste received a call from Martha on her way to InnovaTech. She answered it and said, “HI, Grandma.”
“Hey.” Martha’s smile was warm and benevolent. “A couple of days ago, jo told me that you were particularly busy with your work and that you even burned the midnight oil sometimes.
“I’d received some supplements. So, I’ve asked someone to send them to you. Remember to take them.”
Celeste was aware that Martha wouldn’t take them even if she turned down the latter’s offer. So, she said, “I will. Thanks, Grandma.”
Martha chuckled. Then, something seemingly popped into her mind, and she said, “That reminds me, I talked to Trevor about getting along well with you, and he promised me he’ll do it.
“After all, you two are Jo’s parents. If your relationship is too strained, it’s going to have a bad effect on her physical and mental growth.”
So, that was it. This was why he acted out of character and expressed concern for her during the forum.
Celeste responded nonchalantly, “Okay. I get it.“.
She chatted with Martha for a while longer before she hung up the phone. By the time she arrived at InnovaTech, she didn’t see Wynn, though.
Henry caught sight of her and said with a smile, “It’s Valentine’s Day today. Did you receive any flowers, Ms. Rodriguez?”
Before Celeste could say anything, one of her fellow colleagues chimed in with a smile on her face. “She did. The bouquet of roses was this big. We’re dying of jealousy here.”
Henry laughed in response. He was about to say something, but Linda popped out of nowhere and said, “Flowers? Is that it? Didn’t you receive anything else?”
Celeste’s colleague was stumped. “Um…”
“So, all she got were flowers, huh?” Linda snickered and said, “You guys are absurd. It’s just a bouquet of roses. How does that make you feel jealous?
“Wynn received a whole bunch of them, but that’s not even the best part. Her future husband even transferred InnovaTech’s shares to her as a gift. I don’t see her bragging about it, though.”
Henry fell silent and didn’t say anything. He actually couldn’t think of any comeback for it. Then, he noticed that Celeste looked like she wasn’t aware of what had happened.
So, he lowered his voice and said to her, “Word has it that Ms. Locket is very well–liked in the circle. She’s like this dream girl for every wealthy family heir. She has a rather impressive boyfriend, Mr. Fleming, and the other guys didn’t dare to compete with him openly.
“However, it’s Valentine’s Day today. So, some of Ms. Locket’s suitors couldn’t stop themselves from sending her flowers and gifts anonymously. Her office was almost stuffed full of them.”
Before Celeste could say anything, Henry continued, “However, there’s a reason Mr. Fleming won Ms. Locket’s heart. There’s a rumor going around, saying that he gave her part of the company shares as a gift.
“This is the first time we’ve seen a boyfriend spoiling his girlfriend this way. Everyone in the company was wracked with jealousy when we received the news this morning.”
Wynn had access to InnovaTech’s confidential information. Calvin and Lilian could come and go as they pleased as

well.
Back then, Celeste had a feeling that she wouldn’t be surprised if someone changed the company name to “Locket Corporation“. So, she didn’t find Henry’s words shocking at all.
With that said, it had to be said that Trevor made a deliberate decision to transfer shares to Wynn on Valentine’s Day. It was obvious that he didn’t just want to give her a gif, but he also wanted to make the gift meaningful and ceremonial.
Evidently, he poured a lot of thought into Wynn.
“What are you guys talking about?” That was when Wynn’s voice echoed.
Henry grinned and said, “Ms. Locket, is the meeting over?
She responded, “Yeah.”
An important meeting involving the top management staff took place in InnovaTech today.
