“ Okay . ”
Celeste went back to the Rodriguez residence for a meal on Saturday morning . She asked Ivan about the new
project .
After confirming there were no issues with the new project . Celeste finally felt at ease .
At 2:00 pm , she drove to the campsite . ”
Beck and Shanice had just arrived as well when she did .
Beck’s people were working on pitching the tents and preparing the grill .
It had been showing for the past few days . Thus , there was a thick layer of snow stretching across the mountains .
The moment she arrived , Shanice tugged at her excitedly , saying she wanted to build a snowman together .
Celeste used to build snowmen with Jordyn as well .
Hence , it wasn’t a complicated task for Celeste .
Before long , Celeste and Shanice put together a small snowman .
Shanice even prepared a scarf for the snowman . When the snowman was done , she asked the helpers to look for the scarf and carrot for her .
Beck walked up to Celeste .
Celeste didn’t say anything upon seeing him .
Beck crouched beside her and asked , “ So , are you working in YodaVision now ? ”
Celeste was still making some final touches to the snowman . “ Yes , I am . ”
Beck recalled their encounter at InnovaTech . Her cold , dismissive attitude toward Trevor and Wynn made it seem like she had already moved on . “ When did you start working there ? ” he asked .
Celeste replied , “ It has been a while now . ”
Beck wanted to dig deeper into the details , but Celeste was clearly not in the mood for it . Thus , he changed the topic . “ Just a total of five times . ”
Celeste paused for a moment . She knew he was asking her to accompany Shanice a total of five times .
“ Okay ,” she answered .
Shanice took two scarves over . She suggested building a bigger one next to it , so the two could stand together- one big , one small , just like her and Celeste . She even asked Beck to help them out .
Beck quietly did as she asked .
When the big snowman was done , Shanice asked Beck to take a photo of her and Celeste together with the
snowmen .
Beck took out his phone . Watching Celeste’s smile through the screen , he snapped several photos in a row .
Time slipped away quickly in the midst of their laughter and fun . By the time they finished taking the photos , the sky had turned dark . The smell of grilled food drifted through the air , and the tents glowed softly in the evening

Beck asked , “ Would you like some of these ? ”
Celeste nodded ,
Then , he handed a couple of skewers to her .
The campsite was bustling with winter campers . Though the tents weren’t overcrowded , the energy of the placé made it feel alive . There was also a bonfire party scheduled for later in the evening .
“ Shall we go to the bonfire party ?” Beck asked .
“ I’m fine either way , ” Celeste said .
Just when Beck was about to speak , his phone rang suddenly .
It was a call from Miles .
Beck walked off to a quieter spot to take the call .
Miles said through the phone , “ Let’s get some drinks tonight . ”
“ I’ll pass . You guys can go ahead . ”
“ Why … ”
At that moment , Shanice ran over with a skewer in her hand . “ Uncle Beck , this grilled chicken is for you ! ”
Beck stooped down and took the skewer from Shanice .
Miles heard Shanice’s voice . “ Are you having a barbecue ? ”
“ Yes . ”
“ Where are you
“ Outside , ” he replied in a flat tone . “ I went camping . ”
“ Damn , that’s genius ! Heavy snow , camping , snowball fights , and a bonfire sound like the perfect plan . Why didn’t I think of it ? ”
As Miles ‘ words fell , it hit him , and he added , “ Wait , you went camping without telling us ? ”
Beck answered nonchalantly , “ I won’t forget next time . ”
“ Wait , wait . The lady Shanice mentioned is there , too , right ? Where are you guys ? I’ll head over right away . No , actually , let me tell Trevor as well . We can all … ”
“ I’m hanging up now , ” Beck interrupted .
Beck hung up the call before Miles could speak .
