“A play? What kind of play? Where do you even find one around here?”
“It’s an old–school kind of play. You probably wouldn’t be into it.”
Kieran’s gaze sharpened. “You never know. I may have grown up overseas, but I’ve always been curious about Baumond’s culture. I just haven’t had the chance to really explore it.”
Left with no excuse, Celeste told him the location of the theater.
Kieran immediately purchased a ticket online.
Some time later, his friend called him, “Hey, rich boy, we’re hanging out tonight.”
“Nope,” Kieran cut in. “I’ve got plans tonight.”
After wrapping up her call with Kieran, Celeste didn’t take a break until afternoon.
Glancing at the calendar, she suddenly remembered that Shanice’s birthday was coming up. She hesitated a little and decided to give Beck a call.
Beck had always wanted to stay in closer contact with Celeste.
Ever since he learned about Kieran’s feelings for her, he had been more eager than ever.
However, aside from their work together and Shanice, they didn’t really have any reason to interact.
Since he didn’t have to go to YodaVision for the collaboration, he couldn’t think of any good reason to get in touch with her.
On top of that, Trevor was collaborating with YodaVision, so…
Beck stopped midway out of the car when he saw Celeste’s name appear on his phone.
Almost right away, he answered it.
Celeste spoke first. “I hope I’m not disturbing you, Mr. Harper.”
“Not at all,” Beck answered, his expression softening. “Is something wrong?”
“I’m thinking of preparing a birthday gift for Shanice myself, but I’m a bit worried she won’t like it. I wanted to get your advice.”
Upon hearing how much Celeste cared about Shanice, Beck felt a warmth spread in his chest.
He said with genuine sincerity, “Shanice likes you a lot, so as long as it’s something you put thought into, she’ll absolutely love it.”
Knowing Shanice’s nature, Celeste figured that was true.
“Is there anything specific?” she asked.
Beck paused for a second. “Do you know how to bake a cake?”
“Yeah,” Celeste responded. “I know what to do now. Thanks.”
“No worries. If anything comes up, feel free to get in touch
will do.”

After the call ended, Beck finally stepped out of the car and walked into the restaurant.
Trevor, Wynn, and Miles were already there.
“You took your sweet time, huh?” Miles commented.
Beck chuckled. “Got held up on a call.”
Wynn looked over at Beck–he seemed to be in a noticeably better mood.
Ever since Janet started working at his company, she had reached out a few times, inviting him to grab a meal. Yet each time, he politely declined, claiming he was busy.
Once or twice, she believed it.
But this many times?
Was he still holding a grudge because she kept trying to set him up with Linda, and now thought any contact from her was just another matchmaking attempt?
That evening, just past six, Celeste had dinner at the Rodriguez residence. She was about to head out with Betty to see a play when she received a call from Zachary.
“Are you at the Rodriguez residence now?” he asked.
“Yup.”
“There’s something I need you to deal with. Get ready; someone will pick you up in ten.”
“Okay.”
From the way Zachary spoke, it was clearly important.
When Betty heard Zachary needed her for something, she waved her off with a smile, saying that she’d be fine going out with Adeline.
Ten minutes later, the car sent by Zachary pulled up outside the Rodriguez residence.
As soon as she got in the car, Celeste learned why Zachary had called–the government–backed project she had previously signed off on was under a tight deadline, and Zachary, caught up in other matters, couldn’t break away. She was the only person aside from him who truly understood the project’s core tech.
Hence, he needed her on–site to keep things moving.
The moment Celeste arrived at the base, her phone was taken away.
The next two days were a whirlwind. She barely had time to rest.
On the thin
day, just as she stepped into the cafeteria for a quick lunch, she saw Caleb walking toward her.

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....
