EuropeNovelChapter 496 Seeing that Kieran was clearly here to see Celeste, Trevor paused his steps for a moment. He glanced at Kieran, but said nothing before turning and walking away.
Watching Trevor's departing figure, then glancing back at Celeste still in her robe, clearly fresh from the shower-Kieran's brows furrowed slightly as he put the pieces together. 1 It was obvious that Trevor had also clooking for her.
But there shouldn't be any dealings between Trevor and Celeste. * Even if it were business, it should have been Lazarus from Fleming Group approaching Matthias-not Trevor himself, and certainly not at this hour.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoticing the thoughtful look in Kieran's eyes, Celeste could roughly guess what he was thinking, but she didn't explain, Instead, she asked, "It's late. Do you need something?" Pulled from his thoughts, Kieran answered, "I had an idea just now that I wanted to discuss with you in detail." The "idea," of course, referred to work.
Celeste nodded. "Cin." She was staying in a spacious luxury suite with its own workspace.
Once Kieran sat down on the sofa, he couldn't hold back his question: "Why did Mr. Fleming cto see you so late?" 2 Then, he quickly added, lest she misunderstood. "I don't mean anything by it. I was just... surprised." When he'd stumbled upon them earlier, neither Celeste nor Trevor had looked the least bit flustered. That alone showed there was nothing between them. 1 Still, he couldn't make sense of why Trevor would csee her Celeste opened her laptop. Her face expressionless, she replied flatly, "He wanted to talk about something personal." Kieran froze, then suddenly remembered Wynn. That's when it struck him-Celeste and Wynn had a personal feud.
So, was Trevor here to smooth things over between them? Thinking of this, he recalled his own reasons for returning to the country and joining YodaVision-it, too, had been tied to Wynn. Yet now, looking back, it all felt distant, as if it had happened years ago.
Celeste moved on, bringing up work matters.
Kieran had never once associated her with Trevor in his mind.
With her character, he couldn't imagine her entangled with someone else's boyfriend. 2 Since she'd said Trevor cfor a personal matter and she clearly didn't want to elaborate, he assumed she didn't want to talk about Wynn.
So, he let it go and focused seriously on discussing work with Kieran had indeed cto her with work ideas. But... to say he had no personal motives at all would be impossible.
As Celeste spoke with him, his gaze strayed almost involuntarily toward her. Her damp hair clung in strands around her neck, tiny droplets of water trailing down her skin His throat went dry. Abruptly, he tore his eyes away and cleared
his throat with a cough. "Maybe. You should dry your hair first?" The m' content is on novelenglish.net!
Celeste nodded. "Alright. Organize the notes from earlier, dry "Alright." She returned to the bedroom to blow her hair dry.
When she cback out, they had only just resumed their discussion when her phone chimed with a message notification.
Celeste picked it up and glanced at the screen.
It was from Trevor. "Jo says you still m haven't replied to hex. Only then, with his reminder, did Celeste realize she had nearly forgotten all about Jordyn calling her.
She typed back. "Got it."
