Matthias paused . “ What ? This is such a coincidence . ”
Trevor replied calmly , “ It is . ”
Matthias said , “ There are a lot of us . Mr. Fleming , why don’t you take the elevator first ? We’ll wait for the next
one . ”
“ Sure . See you next time . ”
“ See you . ”
The elevator doors closed , leaving Celeste , Matthias , and the others to wait for the next one .
When the elevator arrived , Celeste’s phone rang as they stepped inside . It was Jordyn calling . After excusing herself from the others , Celeste answered , “ Hello ? ”
“ Mom , are you off work ? When are you coming home ? ”

He wanted to ask his name but stopped himself when he noticed Celeste’s detached demeanor . It seemed as if she didn’t want to talk about it .
Matthias , on the other hand , was tempted to reveal that Celeste’s husband was none other than Trevor , their company’s boss .
But since Celeste was on the verge of divorcing him , and considering that they would have frequent contact with Henry and Jonathan in the future , revealing this could lead to awkwardness or even someone targeting Celeste to please Wynn .
To avoid unnecessary trouble , Matthias ultimately kept quiet .
After leaving InnovaTech , Celeste and Matthias got into their respective cars and went their separate ways .
When Celeste arrived at the villa , Jordyn was already waiting downstairs . Seeing her , Jordyn ran up and hugged
