Celeste nodded. “Mm.”

Jorge kept quiet.

Matthias was simply trying to make things difficult for Jorge.

In reality, neither of them cared about the money.

During the meal, they began discussing business seriously, Celeste sat quietly, eating and only speaking up when necessary.

For the most part, she stayed silent.

Jorge noticed this and was somewhat surprised–wheneverCeleste did interject, her comments were insightful and constructive.

She actually seemed quite capable.

Before, he had assumed that in her relationship with Matthias, Celeste was the one clinging to him, the lower- ranked party, the one actively pursuing him.

But observing their dynamic during this meal, it seemed to be the other way around. Then again, perhaps this was exactly how Celeste had managed to completely captivate Matthias.

After all, if she didn’t have any real abilities, how could Matthias be so taken with her?

When the meal was almost over, Celeste excused herself to go to the restroom.

As she walked out, she happened to run into Trevor, who was coming out of the adjacent restroom.

Trevor saw her but didn’t seem inclined to speak–perhaps because he didn’t know what to say.

Celeste had no intention of speaking to him either and was about to walk past him when she suddenly remembered something, and stopped.

“When can we officially finalize the divorce?”

She knew he was in a hurry to get it done. So, he would definitely handle it as soon as possible so that he could be rid of her.

Knowing that, she had never bothered to ask before. But now, so much time had passed-

Trevor replied, “It’ll take a little longer.”

“No specific date?”

“I’ll let you know once it’s confirmed.”

Celeste didn’t say anything else and was about to leave when Trevor suddenly said, “Grandma knows about the divorce.”

Celeste responded, “That’s good.”

At least she wouldn’t be trying to push them together anymore. And Celeste wouldn’t have to keep up the act with

him.

Trevor hummed in agreement.

They didn’t speak further and walked forward in silence.

Just then, someone suddenly ran out from a corner.

Both Celeste and Trevor instinctively stepped aside, but Celeste still got bumped, causing her to stumble backward -right into Trevor.

His hand reflexively landed on her waist to steady her.

The person who had bumped into her quickly apologized before rushing into the restroom.

By the time Celeste realized what had happened, she didn’t even have time to rub her sore shoulder–she immediately tried to step away from Trevor’s hold.

But at that exact moment, Jorge appeared around the corner.

Seeing Celeste leaning against Trevor, his hand still on her waist, Jorge came to an abrupt stop. “You two-” Trevor let go of Celeste.

Celeste shifted sideways to put some distance between them, not looking at either Trevor or Jorge as she turned and walked away.

Jorge’s gaze followed her departing figure before shifting, back to Trevor.

Trevor smiled. “Mr. Robinson, are you here for the restroom as well?”

Jorge replied flatly, “…Yes.”

Trevor nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Watching Trevor walk away so nonchalantly, Jorge pressed his lips into a thin line. He had never considered any connection between Celeste and Trevor.

As far as he knew, they had only seen each other once at InnovaTech. And even then, they hadn’t exchanged a single word.

Which made sense–after all, Celeste was at most just an engineer at YodaVision, far too low–ranking to have any real interaction with someone like Trevor.

Then there was that banquet.

But the only reason Trevor had sought out Celeste that time was because of

Other than that, they shouldn’t have had any connection.
