The Breaking Point of Love

Then, with a smirk, he said, “Anyway, there’s still time before we officially start seeking investors. I’ll keep him hanging for a while.”

Celeste chuckled. “Alright.” As long as he was happy.

When he saw the caller ID, his expression was a mix of disdain and satisfaction.

Celeste knew it was another familiar face and asked, “Who is it?”

Matthias grinned. “Beck.”
