The Breaking Point of Love

Matthias rubbed his sore temples, his eyes barely open. “I knew you didn’t sleep either!”

“I’m heading downstairs for breakfast now. Let’s talk in a bit?”

“Alright.”

Just as Celeste finished breakfast and was about to video call Matthias, Jason’s call came in.

“I just got a call from Trevor’s lawyer. The property deeds for the three villas he transferred to you have been processed. I’ll pick them up later today.

“When would you be available to collect them? If you’re busy, we can arrange a time so I can bring them to you.”

Celeste had almost forgotten about this. Her mind was elsewhere now.

Hearing Jason’s words, she replied, “Thanks, Mr. Payne. Sorry for the trouble.”

After hanging up, she and Matthias got to work immediately. They worked tirelessly until noon, their brains nearly fried from overuse, before finally taking a break.
