The Scent of 134

Chapter 134

Perhaps guessing the reason for Celeste’s hesitation, Beck said, “I can guarantee you that personal matters will never interfere with business between me and your uncle.”

Hearing this, Celeste asked, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

Celeste knew Ivan’s company was in a difficult situation. So, after a moment of hesitation, she said, “Alright.”

“Let me know when you’re free, and I’ll arrange a time to meet.”

“Alright,” Celeste replied.

At that moment, Beck looked at her dark hair, slightly tousled by the cold wind, and said, “The night wind is chilly. You should head inside.”

Celeste paused. Those were the exact same words Trevor had said to her just moments ago.

She nodded without saying anything else and got into her car.

Beck remained where he was.

As her car passed him, Celeste rolled down the window, nodded to him as a farewell, then stepped on the gas and drove away.
