Jorge proceeded to tell Caleb about what he saw today .
The latter replied to his text , saying , “ Celeste and her grandina left a good impression on my dad and my grandpa , Perhaps that has something to do with it . ”
The way Jorge saw it , Harold paid close attention to Celeste and treated her rather specially . It didn’t matter how good of an impression she left , they had merely met each offer once . It was too far – fetched .
With that said , Jorge didn’t think too much of it after he heard what Caleb said .
The weather forecast predicted rain or even show in the afternoon . Before Celeste finished eating , she noticed that it was pouring outside .
After the meal , Harold and the other politicians needed to have a deeper discussion with Celeste and the other company representatives . This time , it was about last year’s production and operation as well as this year’s development plan .
Later , Harold and the other politicians thanked the various companies for their contribution to the city’s economy . That marked the end of the business – government forum .
After the forum ended , Trevor and Celeste would leave after they shook hands with Harold and the other politicians .
When she was shaking Harold’s hand , he said , “ It’s particularly cold today . From what I heard , the road out there is covered with a thin layer of ice . It’s going to be slippery . So , drive carefully .”
Celeste responded , “ I will . Thank you , Mr. Jennings . ”
She , Trevor , and the other company representatives left together and headed to the parking lot outside .
He stood next to her and said , “ You’re wearing a pair of high heels , which can’t be good for walking . You have to watch out , ”
Trevor spoke to Celeste in front of many people . It would be inappropriate if she ignored him . Flat out of options , she responded , “ I appreciate it , Mr. Fleming , I will be careful !
What happened now reminded her of an incident that happened during last year’s technology exposition . Back then , all of them gathered at a restaurant , and she slipped and fell . He cared so much about avoiding misunderstandings that he wouldn’t even help her up .
Now , however , he was acting very differently . He didn’t deliberately lower his volume when he spoke either . What was more , he was in the middle of a conversation with the other businessmen when he spoke to her .
Trevor’s tone sounded intimate , too . Moreover , he took the initiative to talk to Celeste . So , every company representative , including Jorge , heard what he said .
Aside from Jorge , some of the company representatives shared a meal with Trevor and Celeste during the technology exposition last year .
YodaVision Co. rose to prominence out of nowhere , which also caused Celeste to shoot to fame in the business circle . Now , many people thought they knew about her relationship with Matthias
Naturally , more people remembered what happened during the technology exposition last year . They believed that Trevor ignored Celeste when she “ deliberately slipped and fell ” in an attempt to seduce him during the dinner .
Now , however , it no longer seemed like that was the case .

They thought that maybe Trevor was being polite and expressed concern for Celeste because InnovaTech and YodaVision Co. had collaborative projects . However , he addressed her by her first name .
It came off so naturally that it sounded quite suggestive , no matter how one interpreted it . It begged a question . Was Trevor finally mesmerized by Celeste ?
Jorge didn’t attend the technology exposition last year . He had no idea that Celeste “ deliberately seduced ” Trevor .
All he knew was that Trevor had taken the Initiative to talk to her earlier . He couldn’t hear what they were talking about . Back then , he suspected he had misread the situation . Judging by what he heard now , however , it didn’t seem like the case anymore .
Jorge also believed that Trevor was captivated by Celeste and had the intention to have an affair with her . The notion made his expression turn icy as he looked at them .
Celeste knew that it would rain today . So , she brought an umbrella . However , the chilling wind was so biting that it could’ve nicked someone’s face .
She might have known about the possibility of rain and snow today , but she still thought that it wouldn’t be too bad in Baumond because it was already February . The snow should have melted as soon as it fell to the ground , which meant the road shouldn’t have been that slippery .
However , the road icing situation was much worse than she had previously thought . Exiting the venue , that it was quite slippery when she walked up the steps . So , she walked more carefully to avoid slipping
she felt
The people who weren’t close to Trevor walked past Celeste Meanwhile , he stood next to her and didn’t show any signs of leaving . Meanwhile , the businessmen who did know Trevor gave him a teasing look .
Jorge stopped walking and was about to say something , but Celeste slipped and fell forward . Just as she was about to hit the floor , Trevor swiftly reached out and held her by the waist , keeping her safe from harm .
Before she knew what happened , he pulled her into his arms .
