Celeste received a call from Martha on her way to InnovaTech . She answered it and said , “ HI , Grandma . ”
“ Hey . ” Martha’s smile was warm and benevolent . “ A couple of days ago , jo told me that you were particularly busy with your work and that you even burned the midnight oil sometimes .
“ I’d received some supplements . So , I’ve asked someone to send them to you . Remember to take them . ”
Celeste was aware that Martha wouldn’t take them even if she turned down the latter’s offer . So , she said , “ I will . Thanks , Grandma . ”
Martha chuckled . Then , something seemingly popped into her mind , and she said , “ That reminds me , I talked to Trevor about getting along well with you , and he promised me he’ll do it .
“ After all , you two are Jo’s parents . If your relationship is too strained , it’s going to have a bad effect on her physical and mental growth . ”
So , that was it . This was why he acted out of character and expressed concern for her during the forum .
Celeste responded nonchalantly , “ Okay . I get it . “ .
She chatted with Martha for a while longer before she hung up the phone . By the time she arrived at InnovaTech , she didn’t see Wynn , though .
Henry caught sight of her and said with a smile , “ It’s Valentine’s Day today . Did you receive any flowers , Ms. Rodriguez ? ”
Before Celeste could say anything , one of her fellow colleagues chimed in with a smile on her face . “ She did . The bouquet of roses was this big . We’re dying of jealousy here . ”
Henry laughed in response . He was about to say something , but Linda popped out of nowhere and said , “ Flowers ? Is that it ? Didn’t you receive anything else ? ”
Celeste’s colleague was stumped . “ Um … ”
“ So , all she got were flowers , huh ? ” Linda snickered and said , “ You guys are absurd . It’s just a bouquet of roses . How does that make you feel jealous ?
“ Wynn received a whole bunch of them , but that’s not even the best part . Her future husband even transferred InnovaTech’s shares to her as a gift . I don’t see her bragging about it , though . ”
Henry fell silent and didn’t say anything . He actually couldn’t think of any comeback for it . Then , he noticed that Celeste looked like she wasn’t aware of what had happened .
So , he lowered his voice and said to her , “ Word has it that Ms. Locket is very well – liked in the circle . She’s like this dream girl for every wealthy family heir . She has a rather impressive boyfriend , Mr. Fleming , and the other guys didn’t dare to compete with him openly .
“ However , it’s Valentine’s Day today . So , some of Ms. Locket’s suitors couldn’t stop themselves from sending her flowers and gifts anonymously . Her office was almost stuffed full of them . ”
Before Celeste could say anything , Henry continued , “ However , there’s a reason Mr. Fleming won Ms. Locket’s heart . There’s a rumor going around , saying that he gave her part of the company shares as a gift .
“ This is the first time we’ve seen a boyfriend spoiling his girlfriend this way . Everyone in the company was wracked with jealousy when we received the news this morning . ”
Wynn had access to InnovaTech’s confidential information . Calvin and Lilian could come and go as they pleased as

well .
Back then , Celeste had a feeling that she wouldn’t be surprised if someone changed the company name to “ Locket Corporation “ . So , she didn’t find Henry’s words shocking at all .
With that said , it had to be said that Trevor made a deliberate decision to transfer shares to Wynn on Valentine’s Day . It was obvious that he didn’t just want to give her a gif , but he also wanted to make the gift meaningful and ceremonial .
Evidently , he poured a lot of thought into Wynn .
“ What are you guys talking about ? ” That was when Wynn’s voice echoed .
Henry grinned and said , “ Ms. Locket , is the meeting over ?
She responded , “ Yeah . ”
An important meeting involving the top management staff took place in InnovaTech today .
