Semua Bab The Breaking Point of Love: Bab 181 - Bab 190

"Celeste?" Caleb paused for a brief moment and continued, "As in… celestial?""Yup."The name suited her a lot, but Caleb didn't say it aloud. Jorge, Miles, Beck, Wynn, and Trevor all noticed what was happening. Switching partners on the dance floor was nothing unusual. But Celeste and Caleb?Visually speaking, they looked incredible together. Jorge furrowed his brows.And Beck stilled for a second. His partner looked at him and asked, "Mr. Harper?"Beck averted his gaze. "I'm sorry.""It's fine."There was indeed nothing unusual about swapping partners on the dance floor. To him, even swapping partners with Trevor was fine. But Celeste…It was Wynn's first time seeing Caleb tonight. Jorge had stopped by to say hello, but Caleb hadn't come with him. Hence, she had no idea about Caleb's background. But from the way Jorge and Xavier treated Caleb, she knew his status had to be at least equal to Jorge's.Wynn frowned as she watched Celeste dance with Caleb, he

Celeste was stunned for a moment.Even though Caleb invited her to dance again, she could tell that he didn't mean it romantically. It was just a gesture of apology and friendliness.Seeing his sincerity, Celeste obliged and placed her hand in his. Beck had already got off the dance floor. His expression darkened when he noticed that Celeste and Caleb were back on the dance floor, dancing together. Wynn, too, was a little surprised when she saw how Caleb had invited Celeste for another dance. Trevor saw them as well. He lifted an eyebrow, smirking. As though nothing had happened, he continued his dance with Wynn. Moments later, Trevor received a call. He and Wynn stepped off the dance floor. It just so happened that Miles didn't want to keep dancing either. Hence, Miles and Wynn made their way to Beck, whose gaze had hardly left Celeste. Celeste and Caleb were still dancing. Miles took a sip of his drink, his gaze settling on Celeste. "Caleb seems pretty interes

Upon hearing what Celeste had just said, Wynn replied, "I see."With a sharp gaze fixed on Celeste, she added, "In that case, Ms. Rodriguez, will you please tell me what issues my proposal has so I can revise it accordingly?"Celeste immediately realized that she was being challenged on purpose, with the intent to make things difficult for her. Hence, she smiled and responded, "Ms. Locket, any issues with the proposal are yours to resolve. Do you think it's appropriate for us to pinpoint the issues for you? Let me remind you that we're not obligated to work with you. By asking that sort of question, are you implying that you want to collaborate with us but you have no clear understanding of our company's needs? If that's the case, I'm even more convinced that your team is incapable of meeting our standards."Wynn's words indeed reflected her doubt toward Celeste and her deliberate attempt to put Celeste in a tough spot. She was sure that Celeste wouldn't be able to point out th

"That's a relief."Feeling slightly reassured, Beck dropped the subject. After a brief word with Matthias, Celeste left the office.When Celeste arrived at the villa, she entered Jordyn's room to find Trevor working at the desk. Trevor looked up, noticing her. "You're back," he said. Celeste murmured a soft reply. She set aside her bag and went over to Jordyn's bedside. Jordyn was still on an IV. She must have been tired, as she had dozed off with a slight frown. Celeste didn't wake her up. Instead, she turned to Trevor and asked, "Is she okay now?""She was hurting pretty bad when I got home, but it's much better now.""I see."Celeste sank into the couch, book in hand, intending to read while waiting for Jordyn to wake up. Then, Trevor asked, "Have you eaten yet?""No, I haven't."Before Trevor could utter another word, Jordyn woke up. She was very surprised to see Celeste. "Mom? You're back!""Yup."Celeste closed the book she had barely started reading, wal

Celeste went upstairs at around 7:00 am. Jordyn had already woken up. Seeing her return, Jordyn quickly switched away from the WhatsApp conversation. Celeste pretended not to notice it and said casually, "Go wash up and get changed.""Okay!"Celeste packed up her things and was about to head downstairs when she saw Hannah gathering her pajamas from last night to wash. Thus, she said, "There's no need to wash them, Hannah. You can just throw them away."The other stuff as well, though. Please throw them away for me; I won't be needing them anymore."Her divorce with Trevor should be finalized soon. Going forward, even if she was meeting Jordyn, she wouldn't set foot here again, let alone stay the night. These belongings were no longer needed, nor did she wish to keep them. There had always been issues between Celeste and Trevor. Over the last few months, Celeste's rare visits had already hinted that their relationship was nearing its end. When Trevor had her things
