Kieran had joined this round of system testing as well—a fact that caught Wynn completely off guard. When her eyes landed on him, she couldn't help but look over, her gaze lingering for just a moment too long. And Kieran? Well, he hadn't expected to see her with Trevor either. Noticing her glance, he turned his face away with quiet indifference, a cold mask sliding into place. Wynn, for her part, simply smiled faintly at his reaction. There was no bitterness in that smile, no longing—just a quiet acceptance of the distance that had grown between them.
As it turned out, her presence here wasn't because she was accompanying Trevor to Jorburgh—she had her own business trip scheduled elsewhere. The realization settled over the scene like a quiet truth. Just then, she turned to Trevor and said, "It's about time. I'll head off first."
"I'll walk you over," Trevor replied, his tone polite and considerate.
Wynn smiled lightly, shaking her head. "No need. It's only a few steps. You take care of your business—I'll call you after I land."
"Alright," he said simply.
That exchange, innocent as it was, drew murmurs among the staff from both Fleming Group and Yoda Vision. Whispers rippled through the crowd as people quietly remarked on how good their relationship seemed—how natural and comfortable they were with one another. Matthias, standing nearby, let out a soft, mocking laugh, his eyes glinting with disdain. Celeste, however, simply watched in silence, her face unreadable, revealing nothing of the storm that might have been brewing beneath her composed exterior.
After greeting a few others from Fleming Group, Wynn turned and left. On her way out, she didn't even bother to glance at Celeste or Matthias. It was as if they didn't exist to her—a deliberate dismissal that spoke volumes.

On the plane, fate seemed to have a cruel sense of humor. Celeste and Trevor ended up seated just across the aisle from one another. A mere arm's length apart, separated by nothing but a narrow walkway—and yet, an ocean of silence stretched between them.
Matthias, needing to discuss matters with Lazarus, noticed how close their seats were and asked quietly, his voice barely above a whisper, "Will this be alright?"
Celeste shook her head, her expression serene. "It's fine."
Beside her sat Kieran. After they settled in, he leaned over to chat with her in a low voice. As he did, his line of sight inevitably included Trevor across the aisle. Trevor sat with his phone in hand, eyes fixed on the screen, appearing utterly absorbed in whatever was displayed there. From takeoff to landing, he and Celeste didn't exchange a single word. Not one.
Only when he occasionally caught sight of her speaking quietly with Kieran did his eyes flick over briefly—a momentary glance, sharp and fleeting—before turning away again, as if he couldn't bear to look any longer.

Upon arrival in Jorburgh, they went straight to work that same afternoon. There was no time for rest, no time for the luxury of settling in. Their schedule was tight, almost unforgiving. Since they'd arrived late, by the time the day's tasks wrapped up, it was already past eight in the evening.
The day's progress hadn't gone smoothly. Obstacles and complications had plagued them from the start, leaving everyone drained and frustrated. Back at the hotel, Celeste continued working, sorting things out until past eleven. The hotel room became her war room, documents and notes scattered across the desk as she fought through the lingering issues. Finally, once she had things more or less in order, she headed into the bathroom for a shower.
The warm water washed away the tension of the day, if only temporarily. She had just finished when the doorbell rang.
Glancing at the display screen inside her room, she saw who was standing outside. Her hand, still towel-drying her hair, stilled for a moment. A flicker of hesitation crossed her features before she made a decision. After a brief pause, she walked over and opened the door.
"What is it?"
Her hair was still damp, strands falling over her shoulders and dripping onto her slender, pale neck before trailing into the collar of her robe. The sight was intimate, unguarded, and undeniably alluring. Trevor's eyes flicked over her once, then moved away, deliberately avoiding her gaze.
"It's Jo. She called." He held out his phone.
Celeste took it and, standing where she was, answered.
"Jo?"
"Mom, I'm buying you a present! I don't know what you'd like, and I couldn't reach you..." Jordyn rattled on cheerfully over the line, her youthful voice a bright spot in the otherwise heavy atmosphere.
Once Celeste understood, she replied, "I see. I've been busy today. So, my phone must've run out of battery, and I missed your calls. I'll check it in a bit. I'll let you know once I've picked."
"Okay!" With that, Jordyn hung up quickly, her excitement evident even through the brief conversation.
Celeste handed the phone back to Trevor. He gave a small nod. "Goodnight."
He was about to turn and leave when Kieran appeared, coming down the hall toward Celeste's room.
Kieran froze when he saw her standing there with Trevor. The sight was unexpected, jarring even. His steps faltered, his expression shifting from surprise to something more complicated.
Seeing that Kieran was clearly here to see Celeste, Trevor paused his steps for a moment. He glanced at Kieran, but said nothing before turning and walking away. His departure was calm, unhurried, as if nothing unusual had occurred.
Watching Trevor's departing figure, then glancing back at Celeste—still in her robe, clearly fresh from the shower—Kieran's brows furrowed slightly as he put the pieces together. His mind worked quickly, connecting the dots in a way that left him unsettled.
It was obvious that Trevor had also come looking for her. But there shouldn't be any dealings between Trevor and Celeste. Even if it were business, it should have been Lazarus from Fleming Group approaching Matthias—not Trevor himself, and certainly not at this hour. The timing was peculiar, the situation fraught with implications.
Noticing the thoughtful look in Kieran's eyes, Celeste could roughly guess what he was thinking, but she didn't explain. Instead, she asked, her voice even and unbothered, "It's late. Do you need something?"
Pulled from his thoughts, Kieran answered, "I had an idea just now that I wanted to discuss with you in detail."
The "idea," of course, referred to work. But the air between them was thick with unasked questions.
Celeste nodded. "Come in."
She was staying in a spacious luxury suite with its own workspace. The room was elegant, understated, with soft lighting that created an intimate atmosphere. Once Kieran sat down on the sofa, he couldn't hold back his question. It bubbled up from within him, too insistent to suppress: "Why did Mr. Fleming come to see you so late?"
Then, he quickly added, lest she misunderstood his intent, "I don't mean anything by it. I was just... surprised."
When he'd stumbled upon them earlier, neither Celeste nor Trevor had looked the least bit flustered. There was no guilt in their eyes, no awkwardness in their posture. That alone showed there was nothing between them. Still, he couldn't make sense of why Trevor would come see her—especially at this hour, especially in such a state of undress.
Celeste opened her laptop. Her face expressionless, she replied flatly, "He wanted to talk about something personal."
Kieran froze, then suddenly remembered Wynn. That's when it struck him—Celeste and Wynn had a personal feud. A history of tension and unresolved conflict that hung over all of them like a shadow. So, was Trevor here to smooth things over between them? Thinking of this, he recalled his own reasons for returning to the country and joining Yoda Vision—it, too, had been tied to Wynn. His own complicated past with her was a tangle of emotions he'd long since tried to untangle.
Yet now, looking back, it all felt distant, as if it had happened years ago. The sharp edges of those memories had worn smooth with time.
Celeste moved on, bringing up work matters. She had a way of steering conversations, of redirecting attention away from the personal and toward the professional. Kieran followed her lead, but his mind lingered on the earlier scene. He had never once associated Celeste with Trevor in his mind. With her character, he couldn't imagine her entangled with someone else's boyfriend. Celeste was too composed, too principled for that kind of mess.
Since she'd said Trevor came for a personal matter and she clearly didn't want to elaborate, he assumed she didn't want to talk about Wynn. So, he let it go and focused seriously on discussing work with her.
But here's the thing about trying to focus when your attention keeps drifting.
Kieran had indeed come to her with work ideas. He had legitimate professional reasons for being there. But... to say he had no personal motives at all would be impossible. As Celeste spoke with him, his gaze strayed almost involuntarily toward her. Her damp hair clung in strands around her neck, tiny droplets of water trailing down her skin. The robe she wore was modest, but somehow the sight of her like this—soft, fresh from a shower, unguarded—was more distracting than anything provocative.
His throat went dry. Abruptly, he tore his eyes away and cleared his throat with a cough. "Maybe... you should dry your hair first?"
Celeste nodded, seemingly oblivious to his inner turmoil. "Alright. Organize the notes from earlier. I'll dry my hair."
"Alright."
She returned to the bedroom to blow her hair dry. The soft hum of the hairdryer filled the suite, a mundane sound that somehow felt charged with unspoken tension.
When she came back out, they had only just resumed their discussion when her phone chimed with a message notification. Celeste picked it up and glanced at the screen.
It was from Trevor. "Jo says you still haven't replied to her."
Only then, with his reminder, did Celeste realize she had nearly forgotten all about Jordyn calling her. The present, the conversation—it had slipped her mind entirely in the rush of work and the unexpected visit.
She typed back. "Got it."
Two words. Simple. Dismissive. But the subtext was anything but simple. Why was Trevor tracking her communication with her own daughter? Why was he the one reminding her? And why did he keep finding reasons to stay connected to her, despite the distance he maintained in person?
The questions hung in the air, unanswered, as Celeste set her phone aside and returned her attention to Kieran. But the weight of all the unsaid things pressed down on the room, a silent testament to the complicated web they were all caught in.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a slow-burning masterpiece of tension and restraint. The author masterfully uses silence and unspoken glances to convey volumes of emotion. Trevor's deliberate avoidance of Celeste on the plane, his fleeting glances when she talks to Kieran, his late-night visit under the guise of a phone call from Jordyn—every action reveals a man fighting against his own feelings. And Kieran, caught in the middle, sensing something amiss but unable to name it, adds another layer of complexity to an already tangled situation. The way Celeste remains composed and unreadable throughout makes her all the more intriguing. This chapter leaves you craving more, desperate to understand the true nature of these connections.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
The dynamic between Trevor and Celeste is clearly intensifying, despite their best efforts to maintain distance. With Trevor the one acting as a bridge between Celeste and her daughter Jordyn, it seems he's positioning himself—consciously or not—to remain a constant presence in her life. Meanwhile, Kieran's suspicion has been piqued, and he won't easily let go of this puzzle. In the next chapter, I predict we'll see Kieran digging deeper into the true nature of Trevor and Celeste's relationship, perhaps confronting Trevor directly or uncovering something that changes everything. Additionally, Wynn's return and her awareness of the growing closeness between Trevor and Celeste could ignite a confrontation—especially if she senses Trevor's attention drifting. The stage is set for alliances to shift and secrets to spill.
