Chapter 69
Matthias paused. “What? This is such a coincidence.”
Trevor replied calmly, “It is.”
Matthias said, “There are a lot of us. Mr. Fleming, why don’t you take the elevator first? We’ll wait for the next
one.”
“Sure. See you next time.”
“See you.”
The elevator doors closed, leaving Celeste, Matthias, and the others to wait for the next one.
When the elevator arrived, Celeste’s phone rang as they stepped inside. It was Jordyn calling. After excusing herself from the others, Celeste answered, “Hello?”
“Mom, are you off work? When are you coming home?”
Ever since Celeste injured her ankle, Jordyn had been calling her daily to check in. When she heard yesterday that Celeste’s ankle had healed, she had asked when Celeste would be coming home.

Matthias, on the other hand, was tempted to reveal that Celeste’s husband was none other than Trevor, their company’s boss.
But since Celeste was on the verge of divorcing him, and considering that they would have frequent contact with Henry and Jonathan in the future, revealing this could lead to awkwardness or even someone targeting Celeste to please Wynn.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Matthias ultimately kept quiet.
After leaving InnovaTech, Celeste and Matthias got into their respective cars and went their separate ways.
When Celeste arrived at the villa, Jordyn was already waiting downstairs. Seeing her, Jordyn ran up and hugged
