The Scent of 235

Chapter 235

Celeste said to Trevor, “My uncle said someone from Fleming Group approached him about a project collaboration.”

Trevor was about to respond when Celeste continued, “I know you don’t want to owe me or my grandmother, and you’re trying to express your gratitude in this way.

“But my grandmother and I visit your grandmother at the hospital because of her, not because of you. So, you don’t need to offer us any projects.”

If they did business with Fleming Group, the Lockets and the Shaws would surely be displeased and stir up trouble.

Even if he was sincerely trying to thank her and her grandmother by offering the project to her uncle to help him, the fact remained that the woman he loved was Wynn.
