With that said, Trevor was here as well. So, Isabelle didn't do or say anything reckless.
Wynn walked over, but she didn't talk to Celeste. Instead, she faced Matthias and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, Mr. Yoder. We meet again."
Matthias plastered on a smile and said, "Yeah. It is."
"I have always wanted to treat you to a meal, Mr. Yoder, but I have been busy. So, I couldn't make time for it."
"Don't worry about it, Ms. Locket. I am well aware that you are extremely busy."
Of course, Wynn was busy. Otherwise, she would have reported to work at YodaVision Co. after meeting Matthias for the first time a month ago.
Harvey also wanted to make a connection with Matthias. He noticed that Trevor didn't object to Wynn ignoring Celeste and greeting Matthias. So, he figured it was safe to walk over.
Lennox noticed and followed suit. After Harvey greeted Matthias, he looked at Celeste and said, "Hi, Cel."
Celeste didn't respond to him.
Harvey didn't say anything further. Instead, he directed more of his focus on Matthias. After greeting Matthias, they returned to Trevor's side without batting an eye at Celeste.
Then, all of them entered the restaurant with Trevor.
Matthias watched their retreating figures and felt a headache coming. "It's like you don't even exist."
Celeste responded nonchalantly, "Yeah. Let's go. We shouldn't keep our business partner waiting."
"Okay."
Then, night came, and Celeste needed to work overtime. However, Martha called her when it was close to seven in the evening, asking what time she would be home.
By all means, Celeste should have gone home earlier now that Martha was there. However, she had yet to consolidate most of her ideas and was very reluctant to put her work aside.
Celeste hesitated momentarily before responding, "I am sorry, Grandma. I have to work overtime and I cannot go home now."
Martha sighed and said, "Trevor and you are both very busy. How are you two supposed to take your relationship to the next level at this rate?"
Did this mean Trevor would also be going home late tonight?
Celeste said, "I am sorry, Grandma."
"Geez. It's fine, but you have to eat something, no matter how busy you are. Get it?"
"Alright. I will."
After Celeste ended the call, her takeout arrived as well. After she had her dinner, she worked all the way to ten in the evening before she finally left the company.
Celeste hadn't driven to YodaVision Co. that day, so she had called her driver about half an hour ago. He should have been there by now.
Celeste went downstairs and realized that the driver was indeed already there. However, it wasn't the driver she had called. Instead, it was Trevor's driver, and Trevor was in the backseat.
When Trevor noticed that Celeste made no move to get in, he lowered the car window and looked at her. "Grandma told me to give you a ride."
Celeste heard what he said and walked around the car before getting into it. She took the same seat she had taken that morning.
The car cruised steadily on the road and blended into traffic. Silence hung over the car once again.
Trevor was busy with his own things and didn't pay Celeste any attention. Then, something suddenly occurred to her.
"Did they agree to it?" she asked.
Naturally, Celeste was referring to her request about not letting Wynn's uncle move in. After all, Wynn had worn an unusual expression earlier that morning. She guessed that Wynn must have agreed to it.
But what about the others?
Trevor kept looking at his phone as he spoke. "They did."
Celeste hesitated a moment before she asked resolutely, "I want to buy the villa. Is that alright?"
Celeste was doing this to end her dilemma once and for all.
Trevor briefly paused before he turned his head sideways and glanced at her. "You may."
Celeste let out a sigh of relief when she heard his response. "Thank you."
Trevor responded, "Sure."
