Trevor let out a silent chuckle and said , “ Got it . ”
With that , he turned around and left .
By the time he went back downstairs , Miles and the others were already eating . Seeing him return alone , they were all a bit surprised .
Like Jordyn , they had assumed that since Trevor personally went to invite her , Celeste would never refuse .
Beck asked , “ She’s not coming down ? ”
Trevor replied , “ No. ”
Then , he turned to the staff assisting them and instructed , “ Prepare a portion of the barbecue , grilled chicken , and stew . Then , send it upstairs to the missus . ”
Wynn pressed her lips together at his words .
Celeste refusing to come down and Trevor arranging for food to be sent up to her didn’t necessarily mean anything .
But , she didn’t like hearing him refer to Celeste as the missus . It sounded like he was acknowledging Celeste as his wife .
However , she soon reasoned that the staff at the retreat probably didn’t even know Celeste’s name . If he didn’t refer to her as the missus , how would they know who the food was for ?
Back in the room , Celeste was actually getting hungry .
When she heard the doorbell and saw it was the staff delivering food , she opened the door and let them push the food cart inside .
The staff carefully set the dishes on the table and lifted the lids one by one , explaining each dish to her .
But the moment the lids were lifted , Celeste frowned and said , “ Did you send this to the wrong room ? This isn’t what I ordered . ”
The aroma of stew filled the air , and the table was covered with an assortment of fresh seafood , beef tripe , and lamb – all incredibly appetizing .
She had to admit , it looked delicious . But the problem was , this wasn’t what she ordered .
“ There’s no mistake . Mr. Fleming instructed us to send these up to you , ” the staff member replied respectfully . ” The meal you ordered is almost ready in the kitchen and will be sent up shortly . ”
Celeste paused .
There was already more than enough food for two to three people . And now , on top of that , her own order was still coming ,
As a result , she ended up eating for a long time .
By the time her scheduled meeting with Matthias was about to start , she was still eating .
Matthias started the video call early to ask her for some documents . But when Celeste entered the call , he saw her still eating and said , “ What are you eating ? Looks good . ”

Celeste turned her camera slightly to show him .
Other team members joined the call and , upon seeing the feast in front of her – filled with premium , expensive dishes were stunned .
“ That much food ? Did you just start eating ? ”
Celeste replied , “ No , I’m almost done . ”
“ You ordered all that just for yourself ? “ .
She hesitated for a moment and said , “ I didn’t order this . ”
Matthias immediately caught on . “ Trev – your husband ordered it ? ”
Celeste said , “ He had it sent up . ”
Matthias smirked . “ At least he has a conscience . ”
Celeste didn’t bother responding . She didn’t care to explain that he had only done it to put on a show for his grandmother .
Seeing that their scheduled meeting time was approaching , and feeling a bit too full , she finally set down her utensils .
She called for the staff to clean up the table , moved her laptop a little farther away , and shifted her focus to work . Once they got started , the meeting dragged on past ten in the evening . However , no one seemed ready to stop .
Celeste was deeply engrossed in discussing the next part of the project with the team when the door outside suddenly opened .
Trevor walked in .
The camera was angled in a way that captured the entrance . The moment Celeste realized , she quickly adjusted the camera away .
