However , when Matthias saw how Celeste greeted the man , he felt that they seemed to know each other .
“ He’s Beck Harper .”
“ Beck ? ” Matthias was surprised . “ Aren’t you two not that close ? How did you both end up at the same table ? ”
“ His niece fell into the pool just now and I saved her , and he brought his niece over to thank me . ”
Matthias nodded . “ I see . ”
Celeste told Beck that she was with her colleagues . Thus , Beck assumed the person who had greeted her earlier was just one of her colleagues , so he didn’t turn around to check
After Celeste and Matthias walked a little further away , Beck turned around , only to see a tall young man walking beside Celeste .
From the way he looked from behind , he seemed like a good match for Celeste .
Beck could tell that they had a good relationship as they were walking closely to each other .
“ Uncle Beck … ”
Upon hearing Shanice’s voice , Beck came back to his senses “ Are you done eating ? Let’s head back to our room then . ”
“ Okay , ” Shanice replied .
Beck had his meal earlier . Hence , he put down the napkin and went back to the room with Shanice .
As Celeste got back to her room , she was going to read for awhile on the balcony . Just then , her phone rang . It was Trevor who called .
Usually , he’d only call her when there was something important .
After pondering for a moment , Celeste answered the call . “ Bello ? ” she said coldly ,
“ Grandma asked us to go home and have dinner tomorrow night . ”
Celeste paused for a moment . “ Okay . ”
Just as she finished speaking , Trevor hung up the call .
Celeste couldn’t care less about it anymore .
She put away her phone , calmed herself down , and continued reading the book .
Celeste had a great sleep that night , so she woke up early the next morning .
She went to the resort’s gym for a jog . After resting for a while , she decided to soak in the hot spring pool again .
Then , a woman in her forties or fifties walked over to Celeste . She was holding Shanice .
Celeste saw this woman yesterday .
She seemed to be Shanice’s nanny , employed by the Harper family to take care of Shanice ,
The nanny was distracted by an urgent call yesterday , and she didn’t realize Shanice had gone missing .

If it wasn’t for Celeste , who was just around when Shanice fell into the pool , the consequences would be unbearable for the nanny .
Hence , she thanked Celeste profusely .
Celeste replied , “ You’re welcome . ”
She thought Shanice wouldn’t dare to get into the pool after the bad experience yesterday .
Beck had probably helped her to overcome her fear . Shanice held the nanny’s hand with one hand and clutched the swimming ring with the other . After dipping her foot in the pool , she got into the pool slowly .
Moments later , Shanice kicked her legs and paddled toward Celeste . “ Ms. Rodriguez … ” she softly called .
Celeste turned to look at her . “ Yes ? ”
Shanice remained silent , but she seemed to be in a good mood as she was paddling around Celeste .
The nanny grinned . “ Shanice likes you a lot , though . ”
Celeste smiled , remaining silent as well .
She had to leave now because there was another activity from the team – building event later .
Before she left , she greeted Shanice .
However , Shanice opened her arms . “ Ms. Rodriguez , hug ! ”
Celeste had no choice but to reach out and carry her out of the pool .
After changing into a dry bathrobe , Celeste held Shanice in her arms and brought her to the elevator , thinking that she would part ways with Shanice once they reached her floor .
As they were waiting for the elevator , Beck walked up to them .
Shanice beamed joyfully . “ Uncle Beck ! ”
Beck stretched out his arms , wanting to bring Shanice over . Shanice was reluctant to let go of Celeste , yet she wanted Beck to hold her . At last , Shanice extended one arm to Beck .
He brought Shanice over , and Shanice still had her hand on Celeste’s collar .
In that instant , Shanice accidentally pulled open Celeste’s bathrobe .
Then , Beck saw the blue lace lingerie under her bathrobe .
Celeste’s fair skin , along with the beautiful curves on her chest and her slender waist was utterly captivating .
