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 .
