When Celeste stepped into the conference hall, the first person she saw was Beck. And his seat just happened to be right beside hers.
When he saw her, Beck smiled. "Morning."
Celeste nodded. "Morning."
"I watched your press conference the other day too. Congratulations."
"Thank you."
Just then, Wynn and Jorge also walked into the hall.
Beck, of course, knew today was Wynn's birthday—he and Miles had already wished her a happy birthday in the group chat right after midnight.
But now that she was here in person, and Wynn had also seen him, he stood up and said, "Happy birthday."
Compared to the past, Wynn felt that this wish from Beck carried much less sincerity, and more of a polite, obligatory tone.
She glanced at Celeste sitting next to him, and her reply was just as cold. "Thank you."
Then, in the same tone, she added, "The meeting's about to start. I'll go sit over there."
Beck nodded. "Alright."
He then gave Jorge a small nod as a greeting.
Jorge's seat was also in the front row, but not as central.
Seeing everyone seated in the first row, while her own seat was...
Wynn checked and found hers was all the way in the second-to-last row. Her steps paused for a moment, but soon she composed herself and walked calmly to her seat.
The meeting began quickly.
Throughout the meeting, YodaVision was repeatedly praised by the government, stealing the spotlight once again.
Hearing YodaVision mentioned over and over, the business representatives around Wynn were filled with envy.
"YodaVision is incredible. They're all so young, and they've already achieved things we couldn't reach even in a lifetime. Honestly, comparing yourself to others is just torture."
"Exactly."
Listening to them, Wynn looked toward where Celeste was seated, but all she saw were rows of people's backs—completely blocking her view.
It felt like Celeste had pulled far, far ahead of her.
Besides, Trevor had prepared an insanely expensive diamond. If he guessed correctly, Trevor was planning to propose to Wynn tonight.
It meant they were getting married soon.
Thinking of that, he couldn't hold back and asked, "It's your birthday today. Since we bumped into each other, do you have plans later? If not, let me treat you to dinner?"
Wynn smiled slightly. "Thank you, Mr. Robinson, but I already have plans."
"No problem, next time then."
As he spoke, he noticed Wynn glancing toward the front, and then he realised she was looking at Beck and Celeste.
They were chatting with the officials who had attended the meeting.
After a moment, their conversation finished, and the two of them left the hall together.
Seeing this, Jorge frowned.
Weren't Beck and Wynn on pretty good terms? Then why did Beck not even stop by to say a quick word and instead leave immediately when they ran into each other here?
And also... Wasn't Beck being a little too attentive toward Celeste?

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....
