The Scent of 308

Chapter 308

Celeste had no idea what Trevor and Jorge talked about. After lunch with Matthias, she returned to the office to continue working

On Wednesday, she received a call from Gideon inviting her ower for dinner that weekend. He added, “Jo will be there too.” Celeste paused for a moment and said, “Alright”

On Friday afternoon, while Celeste was in a meeting, her phone suddenly rang. Just as she was about to answer, the call ended.

Since she was still in a meeting and the number was unfamblar, she didn’t give it much thought.

The person calling had actually been Janet.

She had officially started working at Harper Corporation on Wednesday.

She had called Celeste to tell her that she had joined the company and would be settling down in Baumond.

But just after dialing, she remembered something Linda had said that Trevor’s friends, like Beck, didn’t like Celeste. No matter how hard she tried to win them over, they never warmed up to her. Yet they had easily accepted Wynn.

If she told Celeste about getting the job at Harper Corporation, Celeste would definitely know Wynn had a hand in it. And if Celeste knew that, she might feel hurt. Thinking of that, Janet hurriedly hung up.

After work, prompted by Lennox, she returned to the Locket residence. She hadn’t even stepped through the door when she saw several unfamiliar luxury cars parked outside the villa.

Before coming to Baumond, she had already heard from Lennox and the others that many elites and powerful families in the city now knew about Wynn’s relationship with Trevor.

Just how good Trevor was to Wynn was practically common knowledge within their circle.

Janet hadn’t really grasped what that meant until she arrived in Baumond herself. Seeing so many high–status people visiting the Locket family every day, asking them for favors, she finally realized just how influential the Locket family had become,

Learning the identities of those visitors and seeing how, despite their own status, they came in person to connect with Wynn and her family had left Janet stunned.

It was then she truly understood that Trevor’s help to the Locket and Shaw families had been far greater than she had imagined.

However, even when facing those powerful people, Janet saw Lennox speaking cautiously and respectfully, while Wynn remained calm and distant, even actively avoiding them. Yet those people didn’t dare get upset and continued to flatter her.

Seeing the luxury cars in the yard, Janet knew more guests had arrived.

She entered through the side door, went upstairs, and didn’t draw anyone’s attention. Wynn was upstair out for some peace and quiet. When she saw Janet, she looked over and asked, “Just got off work?”

Janet stopped. “Yeah”

Since Wynn had already spoken to Beck, she knew Janet getting hired at Harper Corporation wouldn’t be a problem, so she didn’t pay much attention to the matter.

She flipped a page of her book, then, as if remembering something, looked up and asked, “Did Beck say anything

to you when you met?”

Janet, seeing Wynn reading again, couldn’t help but admire how hardworking, she was.

She had even heard that Wynn had been attending some tech conferences recently and caught the attention of several influential figures.

Thinking of this, Janet snapped back to attention and answered, “I haven’t met Mr. Harper yet.”

Wynn paused. “Beck didn’t reach out to you?”

“No, he didn’t.”

Wynn had thought Beck, upon learning Janet was related to her, would at least meet her once and ask someone to look out for her..

But then again, if he had done that, it might not have been good for Janet’s Image at work.

Thinking that, she said, “It’s fine.”

Janet nodded and didn’t say more before heading back to her room.

Wynn put down her book and gave Beck a call. He let the phone ring for quite a while before finally answering, Hello.”

Wynn smiled. “I heard Janet has started at Harper Corporation. Thank you, Beck. Are you free over the next couple of days? I’d like to treat you to a meal.”

Beck replied in a detached tone, “Janet got in on her own merit. There’s no need to thank me.”

If he hadn’t specifically looked into it, how would he know she got in by merit?

Wynn smiled but didn’t say anything about that. She was just about to speak when Beck interrupted, “I’ve got things to do. Let’s talk another time.”

Wynn knew Beck had been busy with work lately. “Alright.

Once she replied, she hung up the call without hesitation.

In truth, Beck didn’t have anything urgent going on. What he really wanted was to call Celeste.

As soon as Wynn ended the call, he dialed Celeste’s number
