The Scent of 390

Chapter 390

After they finished playing golf, Celeste and the others still had other plans.

Trevor and Wynn had joined midway, and perhaps guessing that Celeste and the others had other arrangements that they might not be suited to join, Trevor took the initiative to say, “We have some other plans later, so we won’t keep interrupting everyone’s fun.”

Hearing this, Rowan and Theodore didn’t insist on keeping them and said, “Is that so? That’s fine. Let’s meet up again next time when we’re free.”

Trevor smiled and nodded before leaving with Wynn.

Matthias had actually been a bit worried that Trevor and Wynn might tag along for their meal afterwards.

Seeing Trevor leave on his own initiative, he felt a little relieved and whispered to Celeste, “At least he knows when to back off.”

Celeste smiled and hummed a response.

After they had walked a distance, Trevor finally asked, “Upset?” 1

Having stumbled twice today, Wynn was indeed feeling down. Especially seeing how much Rowan and the others liked Celeste.

Even though she knew they were being fooled by Celeste’s outward appearance, it still left a sour taste in her mouth.

But she didn’t say any of that directly. She just forced a smile and said, “I really made a fool of myself today. I do feel a bit discouraged. Looks like I still have a lot to learn.”

Trevor said, “You have your own strengths and advantages too. Don’t take these small things too seriously.” Hearing that, Wynn felt a little better.

It was clear from today that Celeste reacted very quickly and thought things through very thoroughly. Honestly, this had surprised her quite a bit.

She could also tell that Trevor seemed a little surprised by Celeste’s performance as well and seemed to think a bit more highly of her because of it.

But that was all.

She had noticed earlier that even though Trevor was impressed, he didn’t seem particularly interested in Celeste. 1 And despite her poor performance today, Trevor clearly didn’t care about it. In his eyes, she was still just as charming.

In fact, they didn’t even have any real plans after this.

It was obvious Trevor had suggested leaving because he noticed she was in a bad mood and didn’t want her to feel

worse.

Thinking of this, the gloom in her heart completely cleared away.

Charm 580

That day, around 3:00 pm, after having tea with Rowan the others, Celeste returned to the Rifrightes residence.

As soon as Jordyn saw her, she ran over and hugged her tity. “Mom, you’re back.”

“Yes.”

When she had found out that Celeste was going out that morning without taking her along, Jordyn had actually been a little upset.

But now she seemed to be in a pretty good mood/

It looked like even without Celeste around, she had still had a good time at home.

Jordyn was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang

It was a call from Trevor.

Jordyn quickly answered, “Dad?”

Celeste didn’t know what Trevor said on the other end, but Jordyn responded, “Okay, I got it!”

After hanging up, she turned to Celeste and said, “Mom, Dad’s taking me out to play. He’s sending someone over to pick me up soon.”

Celeste’s expression remained calm. She didn’t try to stop her and simply said, “Okay, I got it.”

Jordyn actually felt a little reluctant to leave Celeste, but the place Trevor was taking her to was somewhere she had always wanted to go.

So, when the driver Trevor sent arrived, she still got in the car and left.

After she left, Celeste went upstairs to deal with her own work.

On Tuesday, Celeste went to Fleming Tech on behalf of Matthias.

Upon hearing that she had arrived, Zeke personally came downstairs to greet her and Candice.

Zeke was very polite, “Ms. Rodriguez, this way, please.”

Celeste nodded.

She thought that the meeting would be arranged in one of Fleming Tech’s conference rooms. But instead, Zeke led her directly to Trevor’s office.

When she used to work as a secretary here, she had occasionally been “lucky” enough to enter Trevor’s office. She was actually quite familiar with it

It hadn’t even been a year since she was last here, but it already felt like a lifetime ago.

Trevor was already inside.

When he saw her come in, he looked up from his documents, stood up, and said politely, “You’re here. Please have a seat.”
