The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 186
Chapter 186
Upon hearing what Celeste had just said, Wynn replied, “I see.”
With a sharp gaze fixed on Celeste, she added, “In that case, Ms. Rodriguez, will you please tell me what issues my proposal has so I can revise it accordingly?”
Celeste immediately realized that she was being challenged on purpose, with the intent to make things difficult for her.
Hence, she smiled and responded, “Ms. Locket, any issues with the proposal are yours to resolve. Do you think it’s appropriate for us to pinpoint the issues for you? Let me remind you that we’re not obligated to work with you. By asking that sort of question, are you implying that you want to collaborate with us but you have no clear understanding of our company’s needs? If that’s the case, I’m even more convinced that your team is incapable of meeting our standards.”
Wynn’s words indeed reflected her doubt toward Celeste and her deliberate attempt to put Celeste in a tough spot.
She was sure that Celeste wouldn’t be able to point out the flaws in the proposal when she asked that question, and at the same time, she set a trap.
If Celeste took the bait and listed the issues, she’d have an easy way to strike back.

However, to her surprise, Celeste didn’t fall for it at all. Instead, she took the opportunity to set up a bigger trap for Wynn.
That was what Wynn was thinking. Keeping her cool, she said, “Ms. Rodriguez, I’m afraid there’s a misunderstanding. What I’m suggesting is that collaboration should benefit both parties. If there are problems with the proposal, wouldn’t it be best for both of us to discuss and solve them together?”
Celeste paused as she was drinking. She was caught off guard by Wynn’s question.
Then, she asked, “Is this your first time negotiating a partnership, Ms. Locket?”
Wynn furrowed her brows. For a moment, she didn’t know why she had asked that question.
Without waiting for Wynn’s reply, Celeste went on with a smile, “What you’re suggesting, discussing and improving together, happens more in family or school settings. In business, people come together for profit; without it, they part ways. So, why would we choose the less than ideal option when there’s a better one available?
Celeste’s voice was gentle, and she was even smiling, but Wynn felt a cold shiver run through her as she listened
to her talk
She stared blankly at Celeste. She knew she had underestimated the latter.
Celeste pushed the cup of tea closer to Wynn and said, “Have a taste of the tea, Ms. Locket.”
Wynn stilled for a moment.
With the way things were, she couldn’t refuse, even if she didn’t want any.
She lifted the cup of tea and muttered, “Thank you, Ms. Rodriguez ”
“You’re very welcome, Ms. Locket.”
Matthias had been paying attention to what was happening on their side.
Honestly, he was quite worried that Wynn would take advantage of Celeste again.

He was truly surprised when he heard that Celeste had so effortlessly rendered Wynn speechless.
After he had gone through the proposal, talked with Ethan, and seen them out, he gave Celeste a thumbs–up. That was impressive.”
Celeste lowered her gaze and chuckled. “Well, I worked as a secretary at Fleming Group for a reason.”
Although ordinary secretaries like her didn’t often interact with the major clients of Fleming Group, she had still dealt with plenty of people and situations over the years, and those had built up some experience for her.
Matthias forgot all about this,
He asked, “So, were there really flaws in the Lockets‘ proposal?
“Yes, there were.”
While the proposal was written in great detail, the technical aspects were also spot–on
Celeste suspected that Trevor had personally assisted the Lockets with it.
Yet, for some reason, when it was put into practice, it was just a little off.

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....
