Jorge said coolly, “What were you two talking about?”

Trevor chuckled, “We didn’t get a chance to talk yet.”

Before Jorge could respond, Celeste showed no intention of greeting him. Instead, she simply walked past him and turned to leave.

Jorge watched her go before shifting his gaze back, only to notice that Trevor was holding two drinks. “These

are…?

Trevor replied, “Specially mixed cocktails. Would you like to try one, Mr. Robinson?”

Jorge paused. “Is the other one for Ms. Locket?”

“Yes”

Just as Jorge was about to say something, Trevor suddenly said, “I’ll be right back. Feel free to make yourself comfortable, Mr. Robinson.”

Jorge frowned and looked in the direction Trevor was heading, only to see that at some point, Wynn had ended up standing next to Matthias, while Celeste was walking toward them.

Jorge was momentarily stunned.

Was Trevor rushing over because he was worried Wynn would be bullied by Celeste and Matthias?

At that thought, Jorge frowned and followed.

Wynn had only just arrived and hadn’t even had a charice to speak with Matthias when Celeste returned.

But Wynn didn’t pay much attention. Treating Celeste as if he weren’t there, she spoke to Matthias, “Mr. Yoder

“You’re back?” Matthias, however, ignored Wynn and looked directly at Celeste. “Everything okay?”

He had just seen Trevor heading in her direction. He had wanted to go over as well, but Wynn had gotten in his

way. 1

Celeste shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Just as Trevor had said, they hadn’t even had a proper conversation before Jorge had appeared. Naturally, nothing had happened.

At that moment, Trevor and Jorge walked over.

Trevor handed the second cocktail to Wynn and asked, “What were you discussing?”

Seeing him, Wynn’s gaze softened slightly. She took the drink and smiled, “I wanted to ask Mr. Yoder for some advice, but I haven’t had the chance to bring it up yet.”

Trevor nodded, then turned to Matthias and asked, “Mr. Yoder, when would you be free to have a meal togethe

It was clear he was trying to set up a private meeting between Wynn and Matthias.

Hearing this, Celeste’s expression turned cold.

Matthias, however, simply let out a short laugh, his tone leg. “Sorry, I’m not free–ever.”

Without giving Trevor or the others a chance to respond, he turned to Celeste. “Cel, let’s go.”

Celeste nodded, not sparing them another glance as she turned and left with him.

Jorge had initially been a little concerned about whether there was something going on between Trevor and Wynn.

But now, seeing how concerned Trevor was about Wynn and how he was even trying to set up a meeting between her and Matthias, Jorge realized he had been overthinking

There had never been any real animosity between Matthias and Wynn. Matthias was simply Celeste’s strongest support right now.

If Trevor managed to mediate and help mend the relationship between Wynn and Matthias, then Celeste would lose her biggest advantage.

For Wynn, this was undoubtedly a good thing.

A little farther away, Matthias clicked his tongue and asked Celeste, “You sure you’re okay?”

Celeste nodded her head. “I’m fine.”

Compared to everything that had happened in the past, this was nothing.

Matthias asked, “Heading back now?”

They had already planned to leave earlier. They just didn’t expect this little episode before their departure.

Celeste nodded. “Alright.”

Before leaving, they went to say goodbye to Beck.

Beck didn’t expect them to leave so soon. But he could tell that Celeste wasn’t someone who enjoyed socializing.

Since she wasn’t interested, he didn’t want to force her. Instead, he simply said, “I’ll see you out.”
