Chapter 689
The next morning, after handling some matters at YodaVision, Celeste went to Fleming Group with Kieran and the others.
It had been a while since they last came over. As soon as they arrived, someone couldn’t help but gossip a little with them.
“Did you hear about Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locket some time ago?”
Celeste lowered her gaze. “I did.”
“After that incident, I heard their relationship got even better. In fact, these past couple of mornings, Mr. Fleming has been bringing Ms. Locket to the office with him. She’s actually upstairs in his office right now.”
Celeste just smiled and didn’t respond.
After some casual chatter, they got down to work.
At noon, Celeste went out for lunch with Lazarus and the others. After getting out of
the car, she spotted Lincoln stepping out of a car nearby.
Before Celeste could react, Lazarus and the others noticed him too.
Ordinary employees of Fleming Group might not recognize Lincoln, but Lazarus did. He quickly stepped forward politely. “Mr. Fleming, hello. It has been a while.”
Lincoln recognized him as well and shook his hand with a courteous smile. “Ah, Lazarus. Hello.”
Only then did he notice Celeste standing at the side.
He paused for a moment, then smiled. “Cel, long time no see.”
Celeste nodded. “…Mr. Lincoln.”
Lincoln paused slightly after hearing how she addressed him, but he didn’t say anything. He simply patted her shoulder gently.
“You look like you’ve lost some weight. I heard you’ve been very busy with work. Take care of yourself, don’t push yourself too hard.”
“I will. Thank you, Mr. Lincoln.”
Lazarus froze for a moment. He didn’t expect Celeste to know Lincoln.
Just then, the person Lincoln was meeting arrived. Seeing that, Celeste
meet won’t disturb you t
said
u then, W
Lincoln. We’ll take our leave.”
Lincoln nodded. “Let’s have a meal together when you have time.”
“Sure,” Celeste replied.
Of course, it was just a polite response. She had no real intention of arranging a meal.
The person Lincoln met was clearly someone of considerable status, so Lazarus and the others didn’t dare to interrupt.
He only spoke after they had walked some distance away. “Ms. Rodriguez, you know Mr. Fleming? You seem quite close.”
Putting aside his other identities, he was Trevor’s father. Yet, Celeste addressed him as “Mr. Lincoln”, not “Mr. Fleming”.
That subtle difference spoke volumes about their level of familiarity.
And from their brief exchange et
now, it was clear that their
relationship wasn’t newly formed.
But then why did Celeste and Trevor seem so distant from each other?
Even though there had been a time when Trevor appeared somewhat interested in Celeste, the two of them still seemed distant It was almost as if they could never quite get close.
The others, including Kieran, quickly pieced things together when they heard the way Lazarus addressed Lincoln.
After all, it was widely known that the Fleming family background was anything but ordinary.
Unable to hold back, someone finally asked, “Mr. Collet, does that mean that he is our boss’s-?”
Lazarus nodded. “That’s right. He is Mr. Fleming’s father.”
As soon as he said that, the others couldn’t help but gasp.
While the others were still surprised, Kieran, however, turned his gaze toward Celeste.
