The Breaking Point of Love

The Scent of 26

Chapter 26

Zeke didn’t expect her to agree so decisively. “You…”

Celeste stretched out her hand as she said, “Thank you for taking care of me over the years.”

Zeke hadn’t yet recovered from his surprise but still reached out to shake her hand. “It was nothing.”

Zeke was still in disbelief as Celeste walked away.

“Why are you zoning out?” Jacob patted him on the shoulder.

“Celeste left the company,”

Jacob paused for a moment. “Really?”

He couldn’t believe it.

He then said with a snort, “She might be leaving now, but that doesn’t mean she won’t find a way to come back. I bet not long from now, she’ll be back with help from Mrs. Heming Senior.”

Zeke didn’t say anything. Though it seemed unbelievable, he was starting to think Celeste might actually be serious about leaving after the way she had been acting recently.

After leaving Fleming Group, Celeste went straight home. She didn’t receive any calls from Jordyn in the next two days as the latter was probably occupied with Wynn.
