The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 146

After hanging up, Celeste went back to work.

After a full mental workout, she was already feeling much better.

At that moment, Matthias called. “Wanna hang out?”

Half an hour later, Celeste arrived at the bar.

Matthias came out to meet her and asked, “Want a drink?”

Celeste hesitated for a second before saying, “Yeah, a little.”

Matthias leaned in to take a closer look at her. “Not in a good mood?”

“I’m much better now.”

Matthias didn’t press further and ordered her a low alcohol cocktail.

Celeste held the glass, taking small sips while listening to Matthias chat with his friends. Neither of them noticed that someone upstairs at the bar counter was watching them.

Xavier commented, “So, it’s her and Matthias.”

The man next to him followed his gaze. Seeing Celeste, he paused.

Xavier noticed and smirked. “Is she your type?”

His friend didn’t answer but asked, “You know her?”

“Yeah,” Xavier replied. “She’s the woman I told you about the other day–the one Jorge was into at first, but then suddenly lost interest in.”

His friend studied Celeste. Though this bar wasn’t exactly chaotic, her cool and pure aura stood out against the flashing lights and heavy music.

Instead of blending in, she exuded an air of quiet elegance, as if she had accidentally wandered into this place.

Matthias turned to Celeste. “Wanna dance?”

Celeste didn’t know how to dance, but she was interested in trying. “Sure.”

Stepping onto the dance floor, she followed Matthias‘ lead, moving along with the music. After about a minute, she gradually got used to it, relaxing as she swayed lightly,

The alcohol was starting to hit, leaving her slightly tipsy. A flush crept onto her cheeks, making her look even more radiant.

Her eyes were bright and glistening, and with every glance, she unknowingly carried a subtle allure–more captivating than usual.

Xavier let out a low curse. “Damn. Ms. Rodriguez might not have that conquer–me vibe like Ms. Locket, but she’s got that pure–yet–seductive charm. She’s practically a walking temptation.”

His friend didn’t respond.

At that moment, Celeste felt her phone vibrate. She didn’t stop dancing but pulled out her phone to check. The moment she saw the caller ID, she immediately froze.

Matthias noticed her change in expression, glanced at her phone, and instantly felt a chill down his spine. “How come it’s Mr. Newman?”

Celeste and Matthias quickly left the dance floor.

As they were heading out, Celeste happened to glance up and saw Xavier and the handsome young man sitting beside him.

She wasn’t familiar with Xavier and quickly looked away, stepping outside with Matthias to take the call.

The moment she answered, her tone was instantly meek. “Mr. Newman.”

“Come pick me up tomorrow at noon.”

Celeste was stunned. “Huh?” But the call had already ended
