Beck was a little disappointed to hear Celeste couldn’t make it to Shanice’s birthday , but he understood
. “ It’s okay Work takes priority ; Shanice will understand ”
Right after she hung up , just as Celeste finished freshening up , her phone rang again .
It was a video call from Beck
Only Shanice would use his phone to video call her .
Celeste picked up , and Shanice’s bright little face popped up on the screen .
She smiled , but before she could get a word in , Shanice started talking excitedly .
“ Good morning , Ms. Celeste ! Uncle Beck told me you can’t come to my birthday party tomorrow . It’s okay ! If you’re busy now , you can celebrate with me next time . ”
Then , without pausing , Shanice added , “ Uncle Beck said you’re baking a cake and got me other gifts as well . Thank you , Ms. Celeste ! That’s so sweet of you . My grandma says that when someone gives you a gift , you should treat them to a meal . There’s this new restaurant that’s super good – are you free tonight ? Uncle Beck and I want to take you out ! ”
Celeste couldn’t help but chuckle . “ I’m free tonight . Thank you , Shanice . ”
“ You don’t have to be polite , Ms. Celeste . Treating you to dinner is what I should do ! ”
Shanice was in a hurry to get to school . After saying goodbye , she quickly handed the phone back to Beck
Celeste and Beck confirmed a time for dinner and then hung up .
Later that morning at work , Celeste mentioned to Matthias that she needed to return to the base again the next day .
Matthias gave her a quick pat on the shoulder . “ You’ve been working hard . I’ll take care of things with the R & D team ; just go do what you need to do . ”
“ Alright , thanks . ”
Celeste usually stayed in the office until past 8:00 pm .
However , she started shutting things down and getting ready to leave a little early at around 6:00 pm on that day .
Kieran stopped at her office . He was a little surprised when he saw her packing up . “ Clocking out early today ? ”
“ Yeah I’ve got something to take care of , ” she said , then she remembered . “ Oh , right . I’ll be out of town for a few days starting tomorrow . If anything comes up , talk to Matthias directly . ”
“ Again ? ”
Celeste murmured a reply .
Kieran didn’t respond .
She had just gotten back , and now she was heading out again .
About 30 minutes later , Celeste pulled into the restaurant Beck had reserved .
As she stepped out of her car , Beck and Shanice arrived as well .

The moment Shanice spotted her , she came rumming , “ Ms. Celeste ! ”
Celeste crouched down and hugged her .
Glancing around at all the high – end cars , Celeste commented , “ This place is seriously booming ”
Beck chuckled softly . “ The owner really knew how to build hype . It has become the place to meet if you want to talk business . ”
“ I see
“ Let’s head inside , ” Beck said .
“ Okay . ”
As they walked toward the entrance of the restaurant , Wynn stepped out of her car nearby , still on a call .
She ended the call , closed the door , and turned around to head toward the restaurant-
But at that very moment , the sight of Celeste , Beck , and Shanice walking together came into view .
Seeing that , she froze , and her steps halted abruptly .
