# Chapter 391: The Coffee That No Longer Matters
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 391 of "The Breaking Point of Love" — a chapter filled with quiet revelations, professional respect, and the bittersweet realization that some things we once thought irreplaceable are, in fact, just coffee.

Celeste nodded and settled onto the sofa by the coffee table in Trevor's office, her posture calm and composed. Trevor, ever the commanding presence, instructed Zeke to have someone bring coffee. But Zeke, always one step ahead, had already arranged it.
And then Naomi walked in.
The moment Naomi saw Celeste, she froze, coffee tray in hand. "Ms. Rodriguez?" The surprise in her voice was genuine. Naomi had taken over Celeste's position at Fleming Group all those years ago, and since then, their paths had barely crossed. Celeste offered a warm smile. "Long time no see."
Naomi smiled back, but the situation made casual chatter impossible. She placed the coffee carefully in front of both Celeste and Trevor and was about to leave when she remembered something and turned back to report on a few work matters. Trevor listened, then said he'd have time that afternoon — tell the visitor to come before three. Naomi nodded, smiled politely at Celeste, and hurried out.
Celeste watched her leave, slowly stirring her coffee. Her mind drifted back to when she herself had been head of the secretarial team. Back then, she had been strictly required to only liaise with Trevor's two personal secretaries. In over two years as team leader, the only times she'd entered Trevor's office were when Jacob and Zeke were swamped — and even then, only to deliver coffee. As for personally reporting work to him? Not once.
Trevor had truly kept his guard up against her.
She took a small sip of Naomi's coffee. When Celeste was about to leave the company, Naomi had asked her to teach her how to brew coffee, and Celeste had taught her with great care. But even before swallowing, she could tell the taste wasn't quite the same. She took another sip — different, yes, but still very good.
When she put the cup down, she saw Trevor had also taken a sip. He looked perfectly satisfied with Naomi's coffee. Back in her naive days, Celeste had felt a little smug that Trevor only liked the coffee she made. But now... it was just coffee. Lose one flavor, find another. It wasn't anything important at all.
Thinking back, she couldn't help but feel her past self had been both foolish and laughable.
Trevor's voice pulled her from her thoughts. "Did Mr. Yoder tell you where we left off last time?"
"Yes." Celeste refocused, her voice steady. "We can just pick up where you left off."
And so began an intense technical discussion — mixed-precision computing architecture, parameter scales, inference speed improvements. The jargon was so deep and specialized that Jacob and Zeke, sitting silently to the side, couldn't understand a word. But Trevor and Celeste were locked in a dynamic, flowing back-and-forth.
As the conversation progressed, Jacob noticed something shocking: Trevor's gaze toward Celeste had changed. There wasn't just surprise — there was genuine appreciation. A look that had never appeared on his face when he looked at her before. And more than that, Trevor wasn't just focused — there was even a faint smile on his lips, as if he was thoroughly enjoying this discussion with her.
Jacob and Zeke exchanged astonished glances.
After more than an hour of exchanging ideas, Rodney and Bryson arrived. Celeste had met Rodney once before. As for Bryson, Matthias had introduced them at a banquet last year after she officially returned to Yoda Vision. Bryson already knew Celeste was a student of Zachary, and they'd had a long chat at a tech exhibition. He was well aware of her professional capabilities and had recently read her paper published in an academic journal.
"Cel, long time no see," Bryson greeted warmly.
"Long time no see, Professor Leonard."
They shook hands and immediately got down to business.
Another hour passed, and just as they were deep in conversation, the door suddenly swung open.
It was Wynn.
Celeste's expression didn't change at all. Wynn stopped at the door, apologizing for not knocking, saying she thought no one was inside. Both Bryson and Rodney knew about Wynn's relationship with Trevor — she was his girlfriend, so of course she was used to coming and going without knocking. They smiled casually, not minding at all.
Wynn quickly excused herself, saying she wouldn't disturb them. Most of the work topics had already been finalized, so Rodney smiled and said it was fine, they were just chatting anyway.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a beautifully layered chapter! The contrast between past and present is so poignant — seeing Celeste realize that the coffee she once prided herself on, the special connection she thought she had with Trevor through something so simple, was never actually special at all. It was just coffee. And watching Trevor's eyes light up with professional respect for her during their technical discussion — a look he never gave her when they were together — is both satisfying and heartbreaking. The scene with Wynn walking in so casually, the unspoken tension, Celeste's unwavering composure... everything is masterfully crafted.
**⭐ Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
Wynn's unexpected entrance while Celeste, Trevor, and the professors are deep in conversation is bound to stir things up. Will Wynn try to assert her position? Or will she realize that Trevor's professional admiration for Celeste runs deeper than she'd like? With the technical collaboration clearly going well, something tells me personal tensions are about to boil over — and Celeste is no longer the naive woman who would back down.
