Matthias couldn't shake the feeling that something was off when he saw how Celeste greeted the man standing before them. The warmth in her voice, the familiarity of her smile — it was too natural, too comfortable. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who is he?"
"His name is Beck Harper," Celeste replied calmly.
"Beck?" Matthias's eyes widened in surprise. "I thought you two weren't that close. How did you both end up at the same table?"
Celeste shrugged, her expression unreadable. "His niece fell into the pool earlier. I saved her, and he brought the little girl over to thank me."
Matthias nodded slowly, a thoughtful look crossing his face. "I see."
Celeste explained to Beck that she was dining with her colleagues. Beck naturally assumed the man who had greeted her was just a coworker, so he didn't bother turning around to check. After Celeste and Matthias walked a few steps away, Beck finally turned — and caught a glimpse of a tall, young man walking beside Celeste. From behind, the two looked like they belonged together. Beck could tell they shared a close bond; the way they walked side by side spoke volumes.
"Uncle Beck..." Shanice's voice pulled him back to reality.
He blinked. "Are you done eating? Let's head back to our room."
"Okay," Shanice replied obediently.
Beck had already finished his meal, so he set down his napkin and guided Shanice back to their room.
Meanwhile, Celeste returned to her own room, planning to read on the balcony. But just as she settled into her chair, her phone buzzed. It was Trevor. He only called when something important was on his mind. She paused, steeling herself, then answered. "Hello?" Her voice was cold.
"Grandma wants us to come home for dinner tomorrow night," Trevor said flatly.
Celeste hesitated, then replied, "Okay."
Without another word, Trevor hung up. Celeste let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. She couldn't care less about anything related to Trevor anymore. She put her phone away, took a moment to steady herself, and returned to her book.
The night passed peacefully, and Celeste slept wonderfully. She woke up early, feeling refreshed. She decided to start her day with a jog at the resort's gym. After a good run and a short rest, she made her way to the hot spring pool to soak her tired muscles.
That's when a woman in her forties or fifties approached her, holding little Shanice's hand. This woman was Shanice's nanny, employed by the Harper family. She seemed like a kind, attentive caretaker — but the day before, she had been distracted by an urgent phone call and hadn't noticed Shanice wandering off. If Celeste hadn't been nearby to save the girl from the pool, the consequences would have been devastating. The nanny was eternally grateful.
Celeste simply smiled and said, "You're welcome."
She assumed Shanice would be too scared to go near the water after the traumatic experience. But Beck had apparently helped the little girl overcome her fear. Shanice held the nanny's hand with one tiny fist and clutched a swimming ring with the other. She dipped her toes in, hesitated, and then slowly eased herself into the pool. Moments later, she kicked her little legs and paddled her way over to Celeste.
"Ms. Rodriguez..." the girl called out softly, her voice sweet and shy.
Celeste turned to look at her. "Yes?"
Shanice didn't answer, but her eyes sparkled as she paddled in circles around Celeste, clearly enjoying being near her.
The nanny chuckled. "Shanice really likes you, you know."
Celeste smiled but remained silent. She had to leave soon — there was another team-building activity scheduled. Before she left, she waved goodbye to Shanice. But the little girl stretched out her arms and cried, "Ms. Rodriguez, hug!"
Celeste couldn't refuse. She scooped Shanice out of the pool and carried her to the changing room. After drying off and slipping into a robe, Celeste held Shanice in her arms and headed for the elevator, planning to drop the girl off at her floor.
As they waited for the elevator doors to open, Beck walked up to them. Shanice's face lit up. "Uncle Beck!"
Beck extended his arms to take her, but Shanice was torn — she wanted to stay with Celeste, yet she also wanted to be held by her uncle. In the end, she compromised, stretching one arm toward Beck while keeping her other hand on Celeste's collar. As Beck lifted her, Shanice accidentally tugged on Celeste's bathrobe — and it slipped open just enough.
For a split second, Beck saw the blue lace lingerie beneath the thin fabric. The delicate lace traced the curves of Celeste's fair skin, her elegant collarbones, and the gentle slope of her chest. Her slender waist was barely concealed. The sight was utterly captivating — a beautiful, intimate moment that neither of them had intended to share.
Time seemed to freeze. Beck's breath caught in his throat. Celeste's cheeks flushed crimson as she quickly pulled the robe closed, her heart pounding. But the image was already burned into his mind.

Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:
Oh, what a chapter! I'm still catching my breath after that ending. The tension between Celeste and Matthias, the cold call from Trevor, the sweet interaction with little Shanice — and then that accidental glimpse. I can feel the awkwardness and the spark that might ignite between Celeste and Beck. This story knows exactly how to keep us on the edge of our seats. The writing is vivid, the emotions are raw, and the pacing is perfect. I absolutely loved this chapter!
⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
Next Chapter Prediction:
Beck won't be able to shake that image from his mind. He'll probably try to pretend nothing happened, but every time he looks at Celeste, he'll remember that moment. And with the team-building activities forcing them to interact, their paths will keep crossing. Meanwhile, Trevor's dinner invitation might bring more drama — maybe Celeste will finally confront him about their crumbling relationship. Something tells me sparks are about to fly in multiple directions!
