The Breaking Point of Love

The Scent of 3

Chapter 3

Zeke was one of Trevor’s personal secretaries. When he saw Celeste’s resignation letter, he was extremely surprised.

He was one of the few in the company who knew about the relationship between Celeste and Trevor.

Anyone familiar with Trevor knew that he didn’t love Celeste. So, he had been cold to her and rarely went home after their marriage.

To get closer to and win over Trevor, Celeste had chosen to work at Fleming Group

Her initial goal was to become his personal secretary, but Trevor refused vehemently. Even when Arnold stepped in, he couldn’t get Trevor to agree. In the end, Celeste had to settle for a position in the secretarial team, becoming one of Trevor’s many ordinary secretaries.

At first, Zeke had worried that Celeste’s presence in the secretarial team would create chaos. But to his surprise, she didn’t bring them any trouble. Although Celeste used her position to get closer to Trevor, she was mindful of her timing and never overstepped her boundaries.

On the contrary, she worked diligently and performed exceptionally well, hoping to gain Trevor’s respect. Whether during her pregnancy, childbirth, or any other time, she strictly adhered to company policies and never sought special treatment.

Over the years, Celeste rose to become the head of the secretarial team. Zeke had observed her feelings for Trevor from the sidelines all the while. To be honest, he had never imagined she would resign one day. He felt skeptical about her willingly giving up her position.

Something must have happened between Celeste and Trevor for her to resign now. Zeke understood that this was something he wasn’t privy to–it must be something significant enough for Trevor to have ordered her to resign..

While he found it a pity, Zeke maintained a professional tone. “I acknowledge that I’ve received your resignation letter. I’ll arrange for someone to take over your duties as soon as possible.”

“Alright.” Celeste nodded and returned to her workstation

After working for a while, Zeke started an online meeting with Trevor to report on company matters. As the conversation neared its end, he suddenly remembered Celeste’s resignation.

“Oh, Mr. Fleming, there’s one more thing-”

Although Zeke had told Celeste he would quickly arrange for someone to take over her position, he wanted to gauge Trevor’s thoughts on the matter first. If Trevor wanted Celeste out immediately, he would make the arrangements right away.

But as the words left his mouth, he remembered that when Celeste first joined the company, Trevor had explicitly stated that all matters regarding her employment should be handled per company regulations. He made it clear that there was no need to report anything to him since he wouldn’t concern himself with her.

And indeed, over the years, Trevor had never actively inquired about Celeste’s work at the company.
