The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 391

Celeste nodded and sat down on the sofa by the coffee table.

Trevor then instructed, "Have someone bring us some coffee."

Zeke replied, "Already taken care of."

Just as he finished speaking, Naomi came in carrying coffee.

When she saw Celeste, she froze for a moment. "Ms. Rodriguez?"

Naomi had been the one to take over Celeste's job after she left Fleming Group. Since then, they had basically had no contact.

Celeste nodded with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see." Naomi smiled too. But given the situation, it wasn't really appropriate for her to chat too much.

She placed the coffee carefully in front of both Celeste and Trevor, and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something and turned back to report on some work matters.

After listening, Trevor said, "Got it. I'll have time this afternoon. Tell him to come by before three."

"Okay." Naomi answered, then smiled and nodded politely at Celeste before hurrying out.

Celeste watched her leave, slowly stirring her coffee.

As the head of the secretarial team, it was completely normal for Naomi to personally come to Trevor's office to report work.

But back when Celeste held the same position, she had been strictly required to liaise only with Trevor's two personal secretaries.

In the two-plus years she was team leader, the only times she was allowed into Trevor's office were when Jacob and Zeke were overwhelmingly busy—and even then, just to deliver coffee.

As for personally reporting work to him? Not once.

Trevor had truly kept his guard up against her.

Thinking of all that, she lifted her coffee cup and took a small sip.

When she was about to leave the company, Naomi had asked her to teach her how to brew coffee, and Celeste had taught her very carefully.

But even before swallowing, she could tell that the coffee Naomi made didn't taste quite like how she had taught.

She took another small sip—there was a difference, but it was still very good.

When she put the cup down, she saw that Trevor had also taken a sip and looked very satisfied with Naomi's coffee.

Back when she was still so naive, Celeste had been a little smug about the fact that Trevor only liked the coffee she made.

But now…

It was just coffee. Lose one flavor, find another. It wasn't anything important at all.

Thinking back, she couldn't help but feel that her past self had been both foolish and laughable.

While she was lost in thought, Trevor spoke, "Did Mr. Yoder tell you where we left off last time?"

"Yes." Celeste pulled her mind back to the present and replied seriously, "We can just pick up where you left off."

"Good." Trevor nodded.

Bryson was very aware of Celeste's professional capabilities. He had also recently read her paper published in the academic journal.

Now, seeing her again, he greeted her warmly, "Cel, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Professor Leonard."

Celeste shook hands with them, then they all sat down and got straight to business.

Another hour passed, and just when they were deep in conversation, the door suddenly opened.

It was Wynn.

Seeing her, Celeste's expression didn't change at all.

Noticing the room full of people, Wynn stopped at the door and said, "Sorry, I didn't know you were having a meeting. I thought no one was in here, so I didn't knock..."

Both Bryson and Rodney knew about Wynn's relationship with Trevor.

As his girlfriend, it was natural that she was used to coming and going from his office without knocking.

So, they just smiled casually, not minding it at all.

Before they could say anything, Wynn quickly said, "Please go ahead and continue. I won't disturb you."

At this point, most of the work-related topics had already been finalized.

Therefore, Rodney smiled and said, "It's alright, we're just chatting anyway."
