---- Chapter 495 Kieran had joined this round of system testing as well. Wynn didn''t expect to see him there. So, when her eyes fell on him, she looked over. Kieran, likewise, didn''t expect to see her with Trevor. Noticing her nce, he turned his face away with quiet indifference. Wynn smiled faintly at his cold reaction. 4 As it turned out, her appearance here wasn''t because she was apanying Trevor to Jorburgh-she had her own business trip scheduled elsewhere. Just then, she said to Trevor, "It''s about time. I''ll head off first." = "Ill walk you over," Trevor replied.

Hearing that, Wynn smiled lightly. "No need. It''s only a few steps. You take care of your business-''ll call you after I and." 2 "Alright," he said. The exchange drew murmurs among staff from both Fleming Group and YodaVision, who quietly remarked on how good their rtionship seemed. Matthias gave a soft, mockingugh. ---- Celeste, however, simply watched in silence, her face unreadable. After greeting a few others from Fleming Group, Wynn turned and left. On her way out, she didn''t even bother to nce at Celeste or Matthias.

? On the ne, Celeste and Trevor ended up seated just across the aisle from one another. # Matthias, needing to discuss matters with Lazarus, noticed how close their seats were and asked quietly, "Will this be alright?" Celeste shook her head. "It''s fine." Kieran was seated beside her. After they settled in, he leaned over to chat with her in a low voice. As he did, his line of sight inevitably included Trevor across the aisle. Trevor sat with his phone in hand, eyes fixed on the screen. & From takeoff tonding, he and Celeste didn''t exchange a single word.

Only when he asionally caught sight of her speaking quietly with Kieran did his eyes flick over briefly, before turning away again. 1 Upon arrival in Jorburgh, they went straight to work that same afternoon. ---- Their schedule was tight. Since they''d arrivedte, by the time the day''s tasks wrapped up, it was already past eight in the evening. The day''s progress hadn''t gone smoothly. Back at the hotel, Celeste continued working, sorting things out until past eleven. Finally, once she had things more or less in order, she headed into the bathroom for a shower.

She had just finished when the doorbell rang. ncing at the disy screen inside her room, she saw who was standing outside. Her hand, still towel-drying her hair, stilled for a moment. After a brief hesitation, she walked over and opened the door." What is it?" Her hair was still damp, strands falling over her shoulders and dripping onto her slender, pale neck before trailing into the cor of her robe. Trevor''s eyes flicked over her once, then moved away. "It''s Jo. She called." 4 He held out his phone. 1 Celeste took it and, standing where she was, answered.

"Jo?" ---- "Mom, I''m buying you a present! I don''t know what you''d like, and I couldn''t reach you..." Jordyn rattled on cheerfully over the line. 2 Once Celeste understood, she replied, "I see. I''ve been busy today. So, my phone must''ve run out of battery, and I missed your calls. I''ll check it in a bit. I''ll let you know once I''ve picked." 7 "Okay!" With that, Jordyn hung up quickly. Celeste handed the phone back to Trevor. He gave a small nod. "Goodnight." He was about to turn and leave when Kieran appeared,ing down the hall toward Celeste''s room.

Kieran froze when he saw her standing there with Trevor.style
