Beck snapped back to reality, looked at Celeste with a gentle smile, and simply shook his head. "It's nothing," he said, brushing off whatever had crossed his mind. That afternoon, after finishing their business discussion, Matthias called Celeste with news that made her heart sink just a little.
"I just got word from the lawyer," Matthias said, his voice serious. "Wynn still refuses to terminate the contract. She's willing to pay a substantial compensation fee for damage to our reputation, but I didn't agree. Since negotiations have failed, I've asked the lawyer to proceed with legal action."
Celeste took a steady breath and replied calmly, "Alright, got it." She had expected as much—Wynn was never one to back down easily.
Then Matthias added another layer to her day: "Trevor is coming to the company tomorrow to discuss some matters. Joseph can handle the first part of the meeting, but there's one document that needs your confirmation, so..."
So that meant she would have to face Trevor face-to-face. Celeste understood immediately and replied, "Alright, understood." No hesitation, no emotion—just acceptance.
The next day arrived far too quickly. Trevor and Jacob showed up at Yoda Vision in the afternoon, right on schedule. Just as Matthias had arranged, Joseph received them first. The meeting went smoothly until Celeste got a message from Joseph midway through, asking her to come to the conference room to review and sign the contract.
When Celeste walked in, neither Trevor nor Jacob seemed surprised. Joseph had likely already explained that she was stepping in on behalf of Matthias. She greeted Trevor formally, her voice cool and professional: "Hello, Mr. Fleming."
Trevor shook her hand without much fanfare, and they both sat down. Celeste flipped through the documents carefully, confirmed the terms with him, and when everything checked out, she signed her name without a second thought. "Looking forward to working together," she said, her tone clipped.
"Looking forward to it," Trevor replied, equally brief.
With her part done, Celeste was ready to leave. She turned to Joseph and said, "I have other matters to handle. Mr. Lockridge, could you please handle the rest with Mr. Fleming?" She was already halfway out the door when Trevor's voice stopped her.
"Join me for dinner tonight?" he asked, glancing at his watch as if the question were casual, unremarkable.
Before Celeste could respond, he added, almost as an afterthought, "I'll have someone bring Jo over too."
Joseph's ears perked up. At first, he thought Trevor was just being courteous—a standard post-deal dinner invitation. But that second sentence made him pause. Trevor's tone with Celeste was far too familiar, too casual—like they'd known each other for years. And who exactly was "Jo"?
Celeste, however, saw right through him. She knew Trevor was trying to use Wynn as a topic to talk about, and he brought up Jo as a way to make sure she wouldn't refuse. If this had been months ago, the mention of Jo might have stirred something inside her—bitterness, maybe, or sadness. But now? Nothing.
Her face remained perfectly composed. She replied lightly, her words like ice: "Sorry, I don't have time." Without another glance, she turned and walked out, her footsteps steady and unwavering. Her attitude was unusually cold, almost dismissive.
Joseph stood there, stunned. Something was definitely off. He glanced at Trevor, about to say something—only to see Trevor lower his head with a small, almost amused smile. He didn't seem bothered by Celeste's rudeness at all.
Jacob, however, was not so forgiving. He already knew about the situation with Innova Tech, and in his mind, Celeste was deliberately escalating things to get back at Wynn because of Trevor. He had never thought highly of her, and now her inability to separate personal feelings from work made him lose what little respect he might have had.
Joseph, on the other hand, kept turning over the details in his mind. After several interactions, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was strange—the way both Celeste and Matthias treated Trevor was far too casual, as if they held some invisible upper hand. Yet Trevor didn't seem to care in the slightest. It was baffling.
As the meeting wrapped up and Joseph escorted Trevor and Jacob downstairs, he couldn't help but wonder: who really held the power here? And what history lay beneath all the formalities?

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a slow-burn masterpiece of quiet tension. Celeste's cold dismissal of Trevor's dinner invitation is *chef's kiss*—she's no longer the vulnerable woman who would be hurt by mentions of Jo. She's in control, detached, and frankly, a little intimidating. The look into Joseph's confusion adds a layer of mystery that makes us hunger for more. Trevor's small smile at her rejection is also intriguing—what is he thinking? This chapter earns a solid
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
With Celeste's cold rejection and the legal battle against Wynn heating up, I predict Trevor will try a different approach—perhaps reaching out through a third party or using Jo as a more direct bargaining chip. Meanwhile, Joseph's curiosity about the real relationship between Celeste and Trevor is bound to lead him down a rabbit hole of discovery. Watch out, because secrets are about to unravel!
