Celeste nodded . “ Mm . ”
Jorge kept quiet .
Matthias was simply trying to make things difficult for Jorge .
In reality , neither of them cared about the money .
During the meal , they began discussing business seriously , Celeste sat quietly , eating and only speaking up when necessary .
For the most part , she stayed silent .
Jorge noticed this and was somewhat surprised – wheneverCeleste did interject , her comments were insightful and constructive .
She actually seemed quite capable .
Before , he had assumed that in her relationship with Matthias , Celeste was the one clinging to him , the lower- ranked party , the one actively pursuing him .
But observing their dynamic during this meal , it seemed to be the other way around . Then again , perhaps this was exactly how Celeste had managed to completely captivate Matthias .
After all , if she didn’t have any real abilities , how could Matthias be so taken with her?
When the meal was almost over , Celeste excused herself to go to the restroom .
As she walked out , she happened to run into Trevor , who was coming out of the adjacent restroom .
Trevor saw her but didn’t seem inclined to speak – perhaps because he didn’t know what to say .
Celeste had no intention of speaking to him either and was about to walk past him when she suddenly remembered something , and stopped .
“ When can we officially finalize the divorce ? ”
She knew he was in a hurry to get it done . So , he would definitely handle it as soon as possible so that he could be rid of her .
Knowing that , she had never bothered to ask before . But now , so much time had passed-
Trevor replied , “ It’ll take a little longer . ”
“ No specific date ? ”
“ I’ll let you know once it’s confirmed . ”
Celeste didn’t say anything else and was about to leave when Trevor suddenly said , “ Grandma knows about the divorce . ”
Celeste responded , “ That’s good . ”
At least she wouldn’t be trying to push them together anymore . And Celeste wouldn’t have to keep up the act with
him .
Trevor hummed in agreement .

They didn’t speak further and walked forward in silence .
Just then , someone suddenly ran out from a corner .
Both Celeste and Trevor instinctively stepped aside , but Celeste still got bumped , causing her to stumble backward -right into Trevor .
His hand reflexively landed on her waist to steady her .
The person who had bumped into her quickly apologized before rushing into the restroom .
By the time Celeste realized what had happened , she didn’t even have time to rub her sore shoulder – she immediately tried to step away from Trevor’s hold .
But at that exact moment , Jorge appeared around the corner .
Seeing Celeste leaning against Trevor , his hand still on her waist , Jorge came to an abrupt stop . “ You two- ” Trevor let go of Celeste .
Celeste shifted sideways to put some distance between them , not looking at either Trevor or Jorge as she turned and walked away .
Jorge’s gaze followed her departing figure before shifting , back to Trevor .
Trevor smiled . “ Mr. Robinson , are you here for the restroom as well ? ”
Jorge replied flatly , “ … Yes . ”
Trevor nodded slightly , said nothing more , and turned to leave .
Watching Trevor walk away so nonchalantly , Jorge pressed his lips into a thin line . He had never considered any connection between Celeste and Trevor .
As far as he knew , they had only seen each other once at InnovaTech . And even then , they hadn’t exchanged a single word .
Which made sense – after all , Celeste was at most just an engineer at YodaVision , far too low – ranking to have any real interaction with someone like Trevor .
Then there was that banquet .
But the only reason Trevor had sought out Celeste that time was because of
Other than that , they shouldn’t have had any connection .
fun wasn’t it ?
So , what exactly had he just witnessed ?
