The next morning, after waking up and having breakfast, Celeste headed out for work as usual.

At noon, while she was having lunch, Jordyn’s call came through. This was the first time Jordyn had called her since secretly sneaking away from the hot spring retreat.

Celeste answered.

“Mom…”

“Mm.” Celeste responded and asked, “Have you eaten?”

“Just finished!”

That morning at the hot spring retreat, she had received a call from Wynn, who told her that Trevor was taking her out for fun and asked if she wanted to join them.

She immediately agreed and sneaked away while Celeste wasn’t paying attention.

They had a great time and only returned to the city yesterday afternoon. However, they didn’t go home last night.

This morning, after returning to school, Jordyn thought of Celeste and felt a little guilty. She was worried that she might be angry. That’s why she decided to call.

But when she heard her mom ask if she had eaten, she felt that she wasn’t mad about her sneaking off that day. She was relieved.

She knew it. Her mom wouldn’t be mad at her!

However, she also noticed that her mom no longer called her every day or constantly asked about her whereabouts like before.

She actually liked this change in her mom!

Now, she had much more freedom to do what she wanted!

Celeste indeed didn’t ask about where they had been for the past two days–because she simply didn’t care.

After chatting with Jordyn about her studies for a while, Celeste hung up the phone.

Back at the office, Matthias came over and asked, “Tomorrow is the tech expo. Are we meeting at the company and heading there together?”

“Sounds good.”

The next morning, not long after Celeste left home, her car suddenly broke down, and a vehicle behind her rear- ended her, causing a chain reaction of traffic accidents.

A chorus of angry drivers behind her erupted in complaints.

Since her car couldn’t move, it was blocking traffic.

After apologizing to the drivers behind her, she immediately called emergency services and waited for assistance.

However, handling this would take a long time, and she was in a hurry to attend the expo.

A tall figure walked over from the pedestrian sidewalk.

Celeste looked up.

It was Beck. Why was he here?

She responded indifferently with a hum. Not in the mood to chat, she called Matthias to explain the situation and told them to leave without her. She would head over once everything was settled.

“Traffic accidents like this take time to sort out,” Matthias said. “By the time you’re done, the expo might already

be over.

“Wait a bit. I’ll contact someone to help you, but it’ll probably take at least another half an hour before they reach you.”

“That’s fine. As long as I don’t miss the expo.”

After hanging up, just as she was about to speak with the drivers behind her, Beck suddenly said, “I’ll have someone take care of this for you. Where do you need to go? I’ll drive you.”

Celeste was stunned and looked up at him.

Five minutes later, she was in Beck’s car.

They sat in the back seat, keeping some distance between them, yet she still felt a little awkward.

“Thank you.”

“It’s nothing.”

Nothing…? Celeste frowned slightly.

In the past, Beck had always treated her as if she were invisible.

The last time they met at the race track, they didn’t part on good terms.

Although the last time they bumped into each other, Beck had been unusually polite and greeted her first, but still

He was busy. So, as soon as he got in the car, he started taking phone calls one after another.

Celeste actually felt relieved because of that. They weren’t familiar with each other, and being in such a confined space with him made her feel uncomfortable.

Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the tech expo.

Celeste got out of the car and politely said, “Thanks.”

Beck just hummed in response.

After giving a brief nod, she turned and left. Shortly after she walked away, a sleek black luxury car pulled up beside Beck’s.

Wynn thought she was seeing things.

But after checking the license plate, she confirmed she wasn’t mistaken. So, she knocked on Beck’s window. The window slowly rolled down, and Wynn bent slightly to look inside. “Beck, it really is you.”

Then she asked, “What are you doing here?”

Beck got out of the car. “Just dropping off a friend.”

At that moment, Harvey and Lennox also stepped out of their car. Upon learning Beck’s identity, they hurriedly greeted him.
