“ Celeste ? ” Caleb paused for a brief moment and continued , As in … celestial ? ”
“ Yup . ”
The name suited her a lot , but Caleb didn’t say it aloud .
Jorge , Miles , Beck , Wynn , and Trevor all noticed what was happening .
Switching partners on the dance floor was nothing unusual .
But Celeste and Caleb ?
Visually speaking , they looked incredible together .
Jorge furrowed his brows .
And Beck stilled for a second .
His partner looked at him and asked , “ Mr. Harper ? ”
Beck averted his gaze . “ I’m sorry. ”
“ It’s fine . ”
There was indeed nothing unusual about swapping partners on the dance floor .
To him , even swapping partners with Trevor was fine .
But Celeste …
It was Wynn’s first time seeing Caleb tonight .
Jorge had stopped by to say hello , but Caleb hadn’t come with him .
Hence , she had no idea about Caleb’s background .
But from the way Jorge and Xavier treated Caleb , she knew his status had to be at least equal to Jorge’s .
Wynn frowned as she watched Celeste dance with Caleb , her face tinged with red , while Caleb seemed to treat her rather well .
Just then , Miles grinned and asked , “ Let’s switch up for a bit , Trevor . ”
Upon hearing that , Wynn snapped back to her senses .
Trevor gazed at her . “ What do you say ? ”
Smilingly , Wynn replied , “ Sure . ”
Then , Trevor swapped partners with Miles .
Miles’s dance partner hadn’t expected Wynn to genuinely agree to the swap .
As Trevor held her hand and gently wrapped an arm around her waist , the lady gazed at his breathtakingly handsome face , her heart thudding uncontrollably – she even forgot to move .
The lady’s cheeks burned as she realized her blunder . She gazed flickered to Trevor in a moment of awkward . hesitation .
Chapter 182
Trevor paused for a quick moment , looking at the lady before him . With a gentle voice , he said , “ Don’t be nervous .
Noticing Trevor’s gentle demeanor , she calmed herself . After a quiet apology , she gradually fell in step with him .
Initially , Wynn didn’t mind swapping dance partners .
She wasn’t worried – Trevor wouldn’t be stolen away over just one dance .
But when Wynn saw the lady’s starry – eyed , bashful expression as she looked at Trevor , she instinctively frowned .
Miles had never entertained any romantic notions about Wyn as she was dating his good friend . 1
Swapping had been a spontaneous decision .
Yet , now that the swap was done , Miles felt oddly unsettled .
Wynn was his good friend’s girlfriend , after all . Holding her hand was awkward enough , and he had no clue where to put his other hand .
Wynn stared at him and said , “ It’s just a dance . Trevor won’t mind . ”
Miles eased up and laughed . “ You’re right . ”
As they talked , Celeste and Trevor were slowly getting closer .
However , Celeste didn’t notice it at all .
Soon , she heard Trevor speak next to her . “ Caleb , feel like switching ? ”
Celeste tilted her head , meeting Trevor’s gaze head – on .
Caleb looked at her . “Ms. Rodriguez , what do you … ”
Before he could get another word out , Trevor had already made the exchange , handing his partner over .
If Caleb didn’t catch her , she’d likely fall .
Seeing Trevor reach for Celeste and ensure she wouldn’t fall , Caleb had no choice but to let go of Celeste and catch the other girl , steadying her by her waist .
It all happened so fast – before Celeste could react , she was already in Trevor’s embrace securely .
