Celeste’s expression shifted slightly . She pushed him away and said , “ Let me … ”
Trevor interrupted her and said , “ Hold the umbrella , ”
At the next moment , he swooped her up and carried her down the steps before she could say anything . She was still in his arms when he tumed around and said to the others , “ I’ll be taking my leave now . Let’s hang out again when we have the chance . ”
The businessmen who were considerably close to him were actually a little stunned . After all , everybody knew about Celeste’s relationship with Matthias .
If Matthias let her represent YodaVision Co. for the forum hosted by the government , it also meant that things were still fine between them …
Trevor had his own girlfriend. Even if he did have feelings for Celeste , he really should have exercised some restraint . Instead , he openly did something so intimate to someone else’s girlfriend . In all honesty , he demonstrated a massive show of disrespect for Matthias .
After all , Matthias had some fearsome pulls and influence . He wasn’t someone who could be trifled with .
With that said , they didn’t voice their thoughts . Instead , they smiled awkwardly and said , “ Okay . Let’s hang out again . ”
There were so many people here . So , Celeste had no choice but to say , “ Thanks , Mr. Fleming . We’re off the steps now . I can walk on my … ”

Trevor was steadily carrying her to his car . When he heard what she said , he lowered his gaze and glanced at her . He said , “ You are indeed skinnier . ”
“ You can’t … ”
Trevor’s driver noticed that he and the others had already come out from the venue , and he was already standing by the car and waiting for them .
He felt somewhat surprised when he saw that Trevor had someone in his arms . Taking a closer look , he realized that it was Celeste , which made him feel even more surprised .
“ Mrs. Fleming ? ”
At the next moment , Trevor’s driver hurriedly opened the car door for them .
Only now did Celeste realize that Trevor wanted to give her a ride . She said coldly . “ My car is right over there . ”
Trevor signaled for his driver to take the umbrella from Celeste before putting her in the backseat . He said , “ You twisted your ankle . Are you sure you can
drive ? ”
She responded nonchalantly , “ I can always get someone to pick me up . ”
Before Trevor could say anything , Jorge had already walked over . “ Mr. Fleming . ”
He closed the door and took Celeste’s umbrella from his driver . Turning around , he responded with a grin , ” You’re still here , Mr. Robinson . ”
Jorge knew that Celeste was in the car , but the reflective film on Trevor’s car did its job so well that he couldn ‘ see her from outside . He turned his gaze back to Trevor and said , “ Is Ms. Rodriguez inside ? ”
Trevor said , “ Yeah . Her ankle is twisted . I’m taking her to the doctor . ”

“ I have some free time . Furthermore , I happen to have something to discuss with Ms. Rodriguez . Mr. Fleming , if It’s okay with you , I can take her to the hospital . ”
Trevor chuckled . “ What are the odds ? As fate would have it we also have something to talk about . Maybe next . time , Mr. Robinson . ”
Jorge’s expression darkened .
Trevor said , “ The wind is very strong here , and your clothes are all wet , Mr. Robinson . You should go back to your car and take a rest . ”
Jorge knew that he wasn’t in a place to comment on anything , even if Trevor had the intention to cheat with Celeste . So , he nodded in response , cast a glance at the backseat , and walked away.
Trevor’s car had incredible soundproofing , which meant that Celeste couldn’t hear the exchange between him and Jorge . With that said , she did notice the look on Jorge’s face when he looked into the car .
She was aware of Jorge’s feelings for Wynn . It didn’t matter if she couldn’t hear their conversation . She still had a good idea about the reason he came here .
Eventually , Celeste stopped paying attention to them . Turning her gaze away , she pulled out her phone and dialed a number , asking someone to pick her up there . At the same time , she also lowered her head and checked her ankle .
She felt much better once she made sure that her ankle wasn’t hurt too badly and that she could walk . Putting her phone down , she opened the door and got out of the car .

Trevor heard the sound of a car door opening , and he turned around to check .
Celeste stepped out of the car and closed the door . She stepped forward quietly and took the umbrella from his hand
He lowered his head and looked at her ankle , “ Are you okay !
It actually hurt a little , but Celeste could still walk . However , she didn’t say anything to him . She couldn’t be bothered to think about the reason he swooped her up and carried her in his arms .
She said nonchalantly , “ Give me a call once the divorce procedures are done , ”
What she meant was that there was no need for them to keep in touch with each other if it wasn’t about their divorce .
At the next moment , Celeste held the umbrella , walked past him , and left .
away .
Trevor watched her retreating figure , but he didn’t stop het Instead , he did nothing as she walked Their cars weren’t parked too far away from each other . He didn’t turn around and leave until she had safely gotten into her car . A while later , his car drove out of the parking lot . Then , Jorge’s car also left .
Reporters were present during the conference and meal . Celeste went to the hospital before she went home around 8:00 pm . She had just had dinner when the news regarding the forum was released .
At the same time , Wynn and Lilian were reading the news as well . They frowned when they realized that Celeste represented YodaVision Co. at an important government event .
Didn’t Celeste have some relationship issues with Matthias How could she have attended such a pivotal event on his behalf , then ?
Wynn was aware of something . If Celeste had represented Matthias in such an important event , then she probably would have achieved nothing by sending in her resume .
Lilian’s furrowed eyebrows quickly relaxed . She gracefully took the bowl of soup her maid handed her and said , ” No rush . Let’s wait and see what happens . ”
Celeste had a rather outstanding appearance , and Matthias wouldn’t be able to part ways with her just like that . It was normal for them to grow apart and get back together again from time to time .
With that said , the fact that they did split up meant that there was a crack in their relationship . They might still be together right now , but they probably wouldn’t last long .
That was why Wynn still stood a chance to work in YodaVision Co. and break the ice with Matthias .
On the other hand , Wynn also understood what Lilian means . After all , she had a similar take on the situation as well .
Aside from that , she didn’t feel bothered when she saw Celeste and Trevor sitting close to each other at the forum . She had confidence in both herself and him .
That was when Calvin came downstairs . “ Wynn . You’re home . ”
“ Yeah . ” Wynn asked , “ How did things go at school ? ”
Calvin was in the 12th grade , and he transferred to Baumond starting this semester . Trevor’s men had already handled the necessary procedures . 1
