Chapter : 621
After reading the message from Trevor, Celeste handed her phone to Matthias.
Celeste had told him about Quincy before.
To be honest, he was very tempted.
He cleared his throat lightly. “This project is indeed pretty good. It’s worth talking about.”
As soon as Matthias finished speaking, Quincy called Celeste. After they finished talking, Quincy immediately sent her an email.
After reading it, Celeste sent Trevor a message. “Time and location.”
The message had barely been sent when Trevor replied with an address, adding, “I’m heading over now.”
Celeste replied, “Got it.”
Matthias actually wanted to go in Celeste’s place to talk with Quincy about the cooperation, but he still had other matters to deal with. He left after saying a few words to Celeste.
Kieran had overheard Celeste’s call with Quincy and assumed that the person she was about to meet had nothing to do with her ex-husband, so he didn’t think much of it.
Half an hour later, Celeste arrived at the restaurant.
As soon as she arrived, Trevor sent her the private room number.
When she reached the room, Trevor hadn’t arrived yet.
But after a few minutes, Trevor pushed the door open and walked in. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Celeste had thought he would bring his assistant along. Seeing that he came alone, she was a little surprised.
She withdrew her gaze and said calmly, “I just got here too.”
Trevor sat down and asked, “Have you ordered?”
“Not yet.”
Quincy would arrive later and had told them to order first. When the waiter came in with the menu, Trevor handed it to Celeste. “Order what you like. I’ll order for Quincy later.”
Celeste didn’t say anything. She flipped through the menu and began ordering.
Trevor didn’t speak either, but he poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
At that moment, someone happened to pass by the door.
When Lilian, Ruby, and the rest of the family saw Trevor and Celeste
Finside t
the private room, their
expressions changedel
The reason was simple.
Wynn had already sent Trevor a message that morning, asking him to have lunch together.
Yet up until now, Trevor hadn’t replied a single word.
He ignored Wynn’s message, yet came out to eat with Celeste and was even being attentive toward her.
Linda
renched her teeth, almost before she could act, Lilian fut
rushing in to confront them. But
grabbed her arm,
Lilian shot her a cold look.
Lilian usually appeared aloof and distant, rarely speaking to the younger generation.
That single glance made Linda shudder. She didn’t dare act recklessly anymore and was pulled away by Ruby.
Lilian then looked at Wynn.
After taking one more look at Trevor and Celeste inside the room, Wynn withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.
Patricia’s expression was also extremely ugly, her wrinkled hands clasped tightly together.
They left quickly, and neither Celeste nor Trevor noticed them.
After finishing ordering, Celeste handed the menu back to Trevor.
As Trevor continued ordering, he chatted with her.
However, everything he talked about was work-related, his attitude entirely professional and businesslike.
They talked for more than ten minutes before Quincy finally arrived.
As soon as Quincy entered and
finished greeting them, the first thing
he noticed was the distance between Trevor and Celeste s seats.
That distance carried exactly the sense of unfamiliarity and restraint that divorced couples should have.
Thinking of this, Quincy cleared his throat lightly, quickly changed the subject, and took his seat.
