The Scent of 210

Chapter 210

Seeing Beck actually talking to Celeste, Linda’s eyes widenel in shock. She couldn’t help but ask Miles, “Why is Beck talking to her?”

Before Miles could respond, she immediately started walking in their direction.

Lilian grabbed her arm and said calmly, “They’re discussing business.”

“Business?

“Mhm.”

Linda pursed her lips and huffed, suppressing her impulses, but her eyes remained fixed on Celeste and Beck.

Celeste was wearing a long winter dress today. Even though she hadn’t put much effort into dressing up, she still

stood out.

Standing next to Beck, they unexpectedly looked well–matched.

Although Linda knew there couldn’t be anything between them, she still felt uneasy. She couldn’t help but tug at Miles‘ sleeve. “Miles, what are they talking about? Why is it taking so long?”

Linda’s feelings for Beck were obvious.

Miles had known Beck for years and was well aware that Beek wasn’t interested in girls with a spoiled, willful personality like hers.

Besides, Beck had made his rejection of her quite clear.

Miles chuckled. “They’re just socializing; it happens.

“Can’t business matters be discussed on a workday?”

Miles wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. He also wanted to go inside for some tea, but Beck hadn’t returned yet.

At that moment, Trevor and Wynn finally arrived.

Miles immediately waved them over. “Over here.”

Seeing them, Harvey and the others broke into smiles. “Trevor, Wynn, you’re here!”

Trevor nodded and was about to speak when he caught sight of Celeste and Beck nearby.

The Lockets and the Shaws watched him closely, anticipating his reaction. But after just a glance, Trevor withdrew his gaze and simply said, “I’m going over to say hello.”

Patricia and Lilian exchanged a subtle glance as Trevor walked away.

Wynn, however, smiled and said, “Mrs. Fleming Senior has a good relationship with them. Even if they’re divorced, he wouldn’t easily burn bridges.”

So, if they ran into each other in public, a simple greeting was still necessary. As for anything more–there wouldn’t be any.

Hearing this, Patricia and the others relaxed. For a moment they had wondered….

Wynn glanced in Celeste’s direction, but then casually looked away.

Celeste was facing Harvey and the others. So, naturally, she had noticed when Trevor and Wynn arrived.

Chapter 210

What she didn’t expect was for Trevor to walk toward her.

She frowned slightly.

“Madam Klein.” Trevor greeted Betty first.

A moment ago, she had been all smiles, but upon seeing him approach, her expression immediately turned cold.” Mr. Fleming.”

Trevor wasn’t bothered by her indifferent tone. He gave Celeste a brief nod as well.

Celeste turned her face away and ignored him.

As Wynn had said, he was only here to exchange pleasantries. Once that was done, he was ready to leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at Beck, silently asking if he wanted to go with him.

Beck turned to Betty and Matthias and said, “I have something to take care of. Let’s talk another time.” Matthias waved him off, clearly unimpressed.

Betty, however, remained polite. “Let’s chat again when you’re free.”

With that, Beck and Trevor turned and walked back toward the Lockets and the Shaws.
