Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 371

Flossie’s bluster instantly deflated.

“I was gone for just a few days,” Violet said, frustrated. “If Celly hadn’t been here, you would’ve been completely played!”

“Stop, stop, I get it. Next time, I’ll take pictures for proof,” Flossie said, scratching her head in distress.

Violet pinched the bridge of her nose and leaned toward Celestine. “Celly, I’m not in the office much. Please keep an eye on this little fool for me. Don’t let her get sold off and still be counting the money for the person who sold her.”

Celestine smiled. “Don’t worry. You already told me about your treasured Muse Base. I’ll definitely help you out with this.”

But even if Violet hadn’t asked, she wouldn’t have let anything happen to Flossie.

Violet’s job was unique; she spent most of the year traveling between major fashion shows, bringing back a wealth of firsthand industry information for the company.

When Flossie first joined the company, she had trained under her.

But with the company’s business booming lately, Violet spent more time on planes than she did in the office.

So, Flossie had started working on designs with Celestine.

Violet gave a thumbs-up. “I knew it. I’ve always had a good eye for people.”

“What are you two even talking about? Can you stop speaking in riddles?”

Flossie stood between them, completely lost.

Celestine and Violet looked at each other and smiled.

It was early evening when Celestine arrived in Eastmere.

The setting sun cast a vast golden glow over the sea, and orange-pink tides rolled onto the shore, one wave after another.

The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.

Just as Violet had said, the beach was already bustling with couples and photographers taking wedding photos.

They were all trying to capture the most beautiful shots during the fleeting moments of sunset.

Celestine sat on a smooth, rounded reef.

Listening to the sound of the waves, her mind began to clear.

Violet hadn’t been exaggerating.

She saw almost every style of wedding dress imaginable.

Someone had even brought a car full of gowns, with a model doing a live photoshoot on the spot.
