Beck chased after Celeste, but he was still too late. By the time he reached the elevator, Celeste had already taken it downstairs.
Elsewhere, Trevor was chatting with someone when his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and answered.
After a while, he hung up, just as Wynn walked over and asked, "Who was it? You sounded pretty happy."
"A college classmate. He's in Baumond on a business trip. We haven't seen each other in ages, so he wanted to catch up over a meal. I happened to be free, so I agreed."
Then Trevor asked, "Want to come along?"
When she met Trevor, he had already graduated. She had seen a few of his college friends in social settings, but they all seemed to just be acquaintances.
This one, however, seemed to have a closer relationship with him.
She nodded and said, "Sure."
Trevor chatted with a few more people, then left with Wynn for the restaurant where they were meeting.
His classmate, an expatriate named Chester Leighton, was already there. He was quite good-looking.
When he saw them arrive, he stood up and greeted them, then smiled and asked awkwardly, "Is this... your girlfriend?" Then, he praised her. "She's beautiful. You two look great together."
Trevor introduced Wynn to him.
Chester, curious, asked how they met.
Wynn smiled and said, "In Andostan. I had just finished class at the time..."
When she finished, Chester gave an exaggerated "Wow," and said, "A talented woman! Trevor, your taste hasn't changed at all.
"I heard the young woman you liked before also skipped grades to get into college. She was super impressive too. Back then, people said you two even got married before she graduated..."
Wynn smiled modestly and replied truthfully, "I wouldn't say I'm that impressive. It was actually Trevor who started the company. Later on..." She explained the backstory.
Usually, when she told people this, their reaction would be like "Wow, Trevor must really care about you." But Chester was a bit different.
He just looked at her. Though he didn't say anything, it seemed he no longer saw her as exceptional as he'd initially thought.
There was a faint look of disappointment in his eyes as he glanced at Trevor, as if questioning his judgment or perhaps thinking she wasn't good enough for him.
Wynn's smile faded a little.
Realizing he had let his reaction show too clearly, Chester cleared his throat and asked, "How's the company doing now?"
Trevor replied, "We recently had a technical breakthrough, and the company's value made a significant leap."
"Oh, I see..." Chester smiled and said, "Well, with you there, it's no surprise. Running a tech company and increasing its value shouldn't be too hard for you."

Comments
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....
