After hanging up, Celeste went back to work.
After a full mental workout, she was already feeling much better.
At that moment, Matthias called. “Wanna hang out?”
Half an hour later, Celeste arrived at the bar.
Matthias came out to meet her and asked, “Want a drink?”
Celeste hesitated for a second before saying, “Yeah, a little.”
Matthias leaned in to take a closer look at her. “Not in a good mood?”
“I’m much better now.”
Matthias didn’t press further and ordered her a low alcohol cocktail.

Celeste held the glass, taking small sips while listening to Matthias chat with his friends. Neither of them noticed that someone upstairs at the bar counter was watching them.
Xavier commented, “So, it’s her and Matthias.”
The man next to him followed his gaze. Seeing Celeste, he paused.
Xavier noticed and smirked. “Is she your type?”
His friend didn’t answer but asked, “You know her?”

“Yeah,” Xavier replied. “She’s the woman I told you about the other day–the one Jorge was into at first, but then suddenly lost interest in.”
His friend studied Celeste. Though this bar wasn’t exactly chaotic, her cool and pure aura stood out against the flashing lights and heavy music.
Instead of blending in, she exuded an air of quiet elegance, as if she had accidentally wandered into this place.
Matthias turned to Celeste. “Wanna dance?”
Celeste didn’t know how to dance, but she was interested in trying. “Sure.”
Stepping onto the dance floor, she followed Matthias‘ lead, moving along with the music. After about a minute, she gradually got used to it, relaxing as she swayed lightly,
The alcohol was starting to hit, leaving her slightly tipsy. A flush crept onto her cheeks, making her look even more radiant.
Her eyes were bright and glistening, and with every glance, she unknowingly carried a subtle allure–more captivating than usual.
Xavier let out a low curse. “Damn. Ms. Rodriguez might not have that conquer–me vibe like Ms. Locket, but she’s got that pure–yet–seductive charm. She’s practically a walking temptation.”
His friend didn’t respond.
At that moment, Celeste felt her phone vibrate. She didn’t stop dancing but pulled out her phone to check. The moment she saw the caller ID, she immediately froze.

Matthias noticed her change in expression, glanced at her phone, and instantly felt a chill down his spine. “How come it’s Mr. Newman?”
Celeste and Matthias quickly left the dance floor.
As they were heading out, Celeste happened to glance up and saw Xavier and the handsome young man sitting beside him.
She wasn’t familiar with Xavier and quickly looked away, stepping outside with Matthias to take the call.
The moment she answered, her tone was instantly meek. “Mr. Newman.”
“Come pick me up tomorrow at noon.”
Celeste was stunned. “Huh?” But the call had already ended
Matthias hurriedly asked, “What did he say?”
“He told me to pick him up tomorrow at noon.”
”
“He didn’t say why? And he didn’t ask for me to come too?!
Celeste shook her head.
Matthias checked his phone. Zachary hadn’t messaged him at all. Instantly, he felt a little betrayed. “He’s playing favorites.”
The lively atmosphere of the bar did help ease the mood.
Feeling much better, Celeste playfully patted Matthias’s chest. “Feeling any better now?”
“No. But if you cover tonight’s bill, I might.”
“Got it.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
