“ Did you run into him again this morning ? ” Matthias asked
“ Yeah , ” Celeste responded .

Being stuck in the middle of a divorce and still running into your ex on a regular basis ? Yes , it was exhausting .
But with their companies now officially partnered , a few run – ins were inevitable .
After two packed days at the office , Wednesday morning rolled around . Henry tagged both Celeste and Matthias in the group chat .
Matthias was mid – flight to another province , so after getting briefed on the situation , Celeste gathered her things and headed to InnovaTech with a few engineers .
It was her first time back at InnovaTech since Trevor had handed it over to Wynn .
As she and the engineers got out of the car , she spotted Jorge stepping out of a vehicle as well .
He had already been working with InnovaTech , and that wasn’t about to change just because Trevor had handed the company over to Wynn .
The only thing that had changed was who he dealt with – business used to be with Trevor , now it was Wynn . When they saw each other , they quickly looked away .
As they walked into InnovaTech , they noticed Wynn right away .
She looked like she was being cornered by yet another one of her overzealous admirers .
And this one was armed with an outrageously large bouquet of red roses .
Wynn was facing the door , so the moment Celeste and Jorge saw her , she spotted them as well .
It was the first time she had laid eyes on Celeste since learning that Beck had feelings for her .
Wynn’s expression darkened immediately .
Jorge saw how fed up Wynn looked and walked over . “ What’s going on ? ”
Celeste didn’t spare them a second glance . Whatever drama was unfolding wasn’t her concern – she just kept walking toward the elevator with her team .
A couple of minutes passed . The elevator still hadn’t arrived , but Wynn’s voice carried across the lobby . “ Thanks for stepping in . ”
“ No problem . ”
With a worried tone , Jorge asked , “ Doesn’t this building have security ? Why didn’t anyone stop him ? ”
Wynn let out a tired sigh . “ He paid them off . ”
Jorge frowned . “ So , he’s just free to show up whenever he wants ? ”
“ He won’t , ” Wynn said coolly . “ I’ll talk to Trevor about it later . He’ll handle it . ”
Jorge lowered his gaze . After a pause , he murmured , “ Alright . ”
By the time he finished speaking , they had already caught up with Celeste’s group , and the elevator doors opened right then .

Everyone stepped in together .
The YodaVision employees , who often accompanied Celeste to InnovaTech , already knew the company had changed hands .
They also recognized Wynn . Once they were inside the elevator , one of them greeted Wynn politely .
Now that Wynn was officially in charge of the company , the formalities had shifted .
Wynn gave a small nod . “ I appreciate all your hard work . ”
“ Of course , ” someone in the group replied quickly . “ Happy to help . ”
Wynn remained as gracious and courteous as ever .
Then there was Celeste .
Jorge noticed the same frosty look on her face as she pointedly ignored Wynn .

The engineers had never seen the two of them interact directly before , despite coming to InnovaTech multiple times .
Now , watching Celeste treat – both Wynn and Jorge like air – and neither of them making a move to greet her either
it became clear to them that things weren’t good between the three .
The elevator fell into an awkward silence .
