Chapter 104
Due to the angle and height of the camera, the others in the video conference could only see that the person walking in from outside had a great physique and carried himself with an elegant and composed demeanor.
Just from his presence alone, they could tell he wasn’t an ordinary person. But they couldn’t see his face.
At first, people in the company assumed there was something going on between Celeste and Matthias.
It wasn’t until later that they found out Celeste was already married and had a child who was quite grown up.
However, Celeste rarely spoke about her personal life. When it came to her husband, the team knew almost nothing.
Because Celeste was stunningly beautiful, and the more they worked with her, the more they realized she was far more capable than they had initially thought–even more impressive than Matthias–everyone became quite curious.
What kind of man could marry such a gorgeous, intelligent, and capable woman?
Now, Celeste’s husband had finally made an appearance–only for Celeste to immediately turn the camera away.
Yandel and the others were about to tease her, but before they could say anything, Trevor spoke first, “Still busy?”
Celeste turned her head to look at him. “Mm.”
Trevor nodded, said nothing more, and went to the wardrobe to grab some clothes before heading into the bathroom to shower.
Celeste glanced at him briefly before pulling her focus back to work.
Among their team, there were also two women. Unable to hold back, one of them whispered to Celeste, “Your husband has such a nice voice.”

Trevor wasn’t just good–looking–his voice was also deep and rich, incredibly pleasant to the ear.
Hearing them compliment Trevor, Celeste didn’t quite know what to say. After a brief pause, she simply replied, Thank you…”

By now, it was already quite late. Though everyone was still motivated to keep working, overworking wasn’t ideal.
So, Matthias decided to wrap up the remaining tasks before ending the meeting. Anything left could be handled tomorrow or the day after.
Even so, the wrap–up still took a while.
By the time Trevor finished his shower and stepped out of the bathroom, they were still at it.
Seeing that Celeste was occupied, he didn’t say anything.
But then, Jordyn came back.
“Mom- $1
Hearing her daughter’s voice, Celeste looked toward the door. She was about to speak, when Trevor beat her to it,” Mom is working.”
At his words, Jordyn swallowed back whatever she was about to say.
She walked over to Trevor, leaned in close, and whispered in his ear, “Dad, can I sleep with Wynn tonight?”

Trevor nodded. “Okay.”
Overjoyed, Jordyn wrapped her arms around his neck and, in her excitement, forgot to lower her voice, “Thank you, Dad!”
Fortunately, Celeste was done with her work.
She turned off the camera and was just about to speak when she noticed Wynn standing in the doorway.
Celeste froze for a moment, pressing her lips together.
Jordyn and Trevor also noticed Wynn.
Trevor stood up and walked outside. A moment later, the two of them left together, side by side.
Jordyn watched them go, hesitating as if she wanted to follow. But seeing Celeste’s expression–lips pressed tight, her face looking somewhat tense–she decided against it.
Instead, she softly called out, “Mom…”
Celeste withdrew her gaze and, while tidying up the documents and books on the table, asked, “Did you take a shower?”
“I did.”
Celeste didn’t ask who helped her. Instead, she asked, “Are you sleepy?”
“Mm… Yeah, I’m sleepy.”
