That wasn’t a good sign ..
Hence , they wanted to talk to Celeste about it .
Harvey spoke first . “ Cel , I … ”
Before Celeste could respond , Matthias chuckled and interrupted , “ Mr. Locket , are you here to announce your relationship with Cel ? ”
Harvey’s smile faltered , and then he awkwardly laughed . “ Mr. Yoder , I need to talk to Cel for a moment , can you … ”
Matthias cut him off . “ If you’re eager for everyone to know about your relationship with Cel , you’re welcome to say anything ‘
Harvey didn’t want to upset Matthias .
Hence , he could only leave with Lennox .
However , before he left , he turned to Celeste . “ I’ll call you later tonight . Don’t forget to pick it up . ”
Celeste remained silent .
She couldn’t be bothered with him .
As for the call , there was no way she was answering it .
Matthias was frustrated . “ Man , I really want to just lash out at him . ”
How could Celeste not feel the same ?
The problem was , when it came to her situation with Trevor , she had never been able to prove her innocence .
But if she were to openly confront the Lockets , Trevor and the others would likely use this against her to protect Wynn .
Besides , she was no stranger to how the Shaws could turn things around and use them against her .
After all , her mother was still in the nursing home and couldn’t even get out ..
While chatting with Matthias , Celeste turned and noticed that Trevor and the others weren’t playing chess
anymore .
Since it was getting late , they decided to go to Betty .
Betty and Harry had just wrapped up their discussions about paintings .
Harry saw some friends arrive and went over to greet them
Not wanting to disturb Harry any longer , Betty figured it was time to leave when she saw Celeste approaching .
When Harry found out they were leaving , he purposely came and gifted the Silent Peaks – a painting Betty had liked a lot to Betty .
After the pleasantries , they left .
Stepping out , they noticed Trevor and Wynn were still sitting at the pavilion , chatting .
Trevor and Wynn noticed them too .

Trevor gave Celeste a quick look before turning back to chat with Beck , Miles , and the rest .
Wynn saw it . With a smirk on her face , she looked away .
Beck gave a nod in Celeste’s direction .
Celeste and Matthias nodded in response and then left without a second glance .
The next day , as usual , they headed to work at YodaVision
The company’s latest projects started to roll out , and there was a lot left to do . They soon found themselves fully immersed in their work .
Over the next few days , they were so busy they barely had time to catch their breath .
Then , one day , Celeste received several gingerbread cookies from people at the company .
Celeste was stunned for a moment . “ Already Christmas ? Time flew by ! ”
“ Yeah . ”
Stretching , her colleague said , “ It feels pretty festive outside . I’m planning to go out with friends after work and take in the holiday fun . How about you ? Any plans ? ”
Celeste smiled and shook her head . She put away the gingerbread cookies and dove straight back to work .
After work , she remembered that a plant at home was wilting , so she decided to pick up a new one .
Upon arriving at the mall , she noticed the surroundings were decorated with Christmas trees and Santa figures , just as her colleague had said .
It felt very festive indeed .
The street was bustling with people , all walking with someone by their side .
Celeste took in the lively sights around her and suddenly found herself frozen in place .
