Chapter 9

Penulis: Cloudsearcher
Jacob's expression darkened as he accused Celeste of taking advantage of her position. "This isn't the right work attitude to have, Ms. Rodriguez. Do you think this is your home?"

Celeste picked up her bag, unfazed. She retorted, "If you're dissatisfied, you're welcome to dismiss me right now."

"You—" Jacob began. Although he had accompanied Trevor to Andostan, he was aware that Celeste had already submitted her resignation.

Even though he had Trevor's trust, the company didn't revolve around him. He didn't have the authority to fire her on the spot.

Moreover, Martha favored Celeste. If she went to Fleming Manor to complain about him, Jacob knew he wouldn't come out unscathed even if he had Trevor's support.

Not bothered to get a response from Jacob, Celeste walked past him and left.

Jacob's face turned purple with anger as he stormed out of the secretarial office.

Zeke noticed his sour expression and asked, "What happened?"

Instantly, Jacob recounted their whole exchange.

  • The Breaking Point of Love   Chapter 505

    With Matthias's help, things weren't really delayed much, even without a computer.But that afternoon, something urgent suddenly came up with Fleming Group, and Celeste had to handle it quickly.At a time like this, not having a computer was a real hassle.Looking at the files sent over from Fleming Group on her phone, Celeste started regretting turning down Trevor's offer of a laptop to her that morning.Still, the matter was urgent…She turned and went upstairs, stopping outside Trevor's study. After hesitating for two seconds, she finally knocked on the door."Come in."Trevor was seated at his desktop, busy with work. Just as Celeste pushed the door open, he happened to look up.Seeing her, he didn't look surprised at all.In fact, before she even said anything, he asked, "Need the computer?"Standing at the door, Celeste replied, "...Yes."Trevor chuckled and nudged the laptop beside him toward her, signaling her to take it.Only then did Celeste walk inside.She didn

    The flood got worse.Although the Fleming Manor hadn't been much affected thanks to its geographical advantage, the cell signal grew unstable once night fell.Based on the heavy rain warning she'd received that afternoon, she might not be able to leave the manor tomorrow to return to YodaVision for work.That evening, after dinner, Celeste reported her safety to the Rodriguez family, then contacted Matthias to let him know she was currently at the Fleming Manor and might not be able to go to work the next morning.Matthias said, "The situation is pretty serious now. YodaVision has already announced that employees can work from home tomorrow. So, don't rush. I'll help you handle anything urgent. Let's get in touch again tomorrow.""Okay."After that, Celeste sat on the floor with Jordyn, playing with some puzzle toys, while Trevor sat on the sofa reading.Over an hour later, Trevor walked over.Celeste didn't look up, but Jordyn did. "Dad? What's up?"Instead of answering his d

    Celeste stopped in her tracks, gave a soft hum, and asked from where she stood, "Where are Jo and the others?"Trevor replied, "The rain's been too heavy today. A lot of places outside are flooded. Even though the drainage system here has always been good, if this keeps up, it won't hold. Peter has already sent people to deal with it."Jo's never seen people stacking sandbags, or rain this heavy, so she ran out to join the excitement."Hearing that, Celeste glanced out the window and finally realized that the outside had turned into a vast stretch of water.Truth be told, it was also her first time seeing Baumond hit by such a severe flood.Her brows knitted with worry, and she couldn't help saying, "Where is Jo now? The rain's pouring, yet you just let her stay out—"Before she could finish, Jordyn burst in, drenched head to toe in a little raincoat. "Mom, you're awake!"Seeing she was safe, Celeste let out a breath of relief.But when she noticed that, despite the raincoat, h

    After coming back from Jorburgh, Celeste had two days off.She had a full day of rest.On the morning of the second day, just after finishing breakfast, her phone rang.It was a call from Trevor.Celeste glanced at the screen before picking up. "What is it?""Grandma was discharged from the hospital two days ago. She wants to invite you over to Fleming Manor for a meal."Celeste was aware of Martha's discharge. At that time, though, she had been away on a business trip in Jorburgh and couldn't personally go to pick her up from the hospital."Got it," Celeste replied.Just as she was about to hang up, Trevor added, "I'll go pick you up now.""No need, I'll drive myself—""Jo wants me to go with her to your house to pick you up. She's already got her shoes on." Trevor interrupted her.Celeste paused. "...Alright.""We'll be there soon."Celeste didn't respond, so Trevor ended the call.About half an hour later, Trevor and Jordyn arrived at the Rodriguez residence.The rest

    At that moment, Matthias asked again, "How are you feeling now? Any discomfort? If you're not well, then this morning's meeting—""I'm fine."As she spoke, Celeste suddenly realized that she wasn't wearing the clothes from yesterday, but she was in her own pajamas.And her body felt fresh and clean—she must have already been bathed.She didn't know whether Trevor had asked hotel staff to help her, or if…It wasn't something she could bring up with Matthias anyway. After a few more words, the call ended.Seeing that it was already late, Celeste didn't waste time dwelling on last night.She washed up, touched up her makeup, grabbed her bag, and stepped out of the room.The moment she did, she came face-to-face with Trevor and Wynn.Celeste's steps faltered.Trevor and Wynn stopped as well.The moment Wynn saw Celeste, her expression turned cold instantly."Cel."Just then, Matthias also stepped out of his room. Seeing Wynn and Trevor together, his jaw clenched as he walked d

    After entering the elevator, seeing that Jacob only pressed the floor where he stayed, Trevor suddenly spoke up. "There's no need to come up with me."Jacob froze for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, sir."Only then did he press the button for his own floor.…The next morning, wearing a bathrobe and with the clothes he had worn last night draped over his arm, Trevor walked out of a room and shut the door behind him before heading off in the other direction.Wynn had just stepped out of the elevator.Her face lit up with a smile the moment she saw Trevor, and she was about to greet him until her eyes fell on the shirt hanging from his arm.Both the collar and shoulder bore vivid lipstick marks.Her smile instantly vanished. The words on her lips died in her throat.Before she could recover, Trevor's figure had already disappeared around the corner, followed shortly by the sound of a door opening and closing.Still stunned, Wynn's gaze dropped to the room number in front
