That wasn’t a good sign..
Hence, they wanted to talk to Celeste about it.
Harvey spoke first. “Cel, I...”
Before Celeste could respond, Matthias chuckled and interrupted, “Mr. Locket, are you here to announce your
relationship with Cel?”
Harvey's smile faltered, and then he awkwardly laughed. “Mr. Yoder, | need to talk to Cel for a moment, can
Velen”
Matthias cut him off. “If you're eager for everyone to know about your relationship with Cel, you're welcto
say anything’
Harvey didn’t want to upset Matthias.
Hence, he could only leave with Lennox.
However, before he left, he turned to Celeste. “I'll call you later tonight. Don’t forget to pick it up.”
Celeste remained silent.

She couldn’t be bothered with him.
As for the call, there was no way she was answering it.
Matthias was frustrated. “Man, | really want to just lash out at him.”
How could Celeste not feel the same?
The problem was, when it cto her situation with Trevor, she had never been able to prove her innocence.
But if she were to openly confront the Lockets, Trevor and the others would likely use this against her to protect
Wynn.
Besides, she was no stranger to how the Shaws could turn things around and use them against her.
After all, her mother was still in the nursing hand couldn't even get out..
While chatting with Matthias, Celeste turned and noticed that Trevor and the others weren't playing chess
anymore.
Since it was getting late, they decided to go to Betty.
Betty and Harry had just wrapped up their discussions about paintings.
Harry saw sfriends arrive and went over to greet them
Not wanting to disturb Harry any longer, Betty figured it was tto leave when she saw Celeste approaching.
When Harry found out they were leaving, he purposely cand gifted the Silent Peaks-a painting Betty had
liked a lot to Betty.
After the pleasantries, they left.
Stepping out, they noticed Trevor and Wynn were still sitting at the pavilion, chatting.
Trevor and Wynn noticed them too.

Trevor gave Celeste a quick look before turning back to chat with Beck, Miles, and the rest.
Wynn saw it. With a smirk on her face, she looked away.
Beck gave a nod in Celeste’s direction.
Celeste and Matthias nodded in response and then left without a second glance.
The next day, as usual, they headed to work at YodaVision
The company’s latest projects started to roll out, and there was a lot left to do. They soon found themselves fully
immersed in their work.
Over the next few days, they were so busy they barely had tto catch their breath.
Then, one day, Celeste received several gingerbread cookies from people at the company.

Celeste was stunned for a moment. “Already Christmas? Tflew by!”
“Yeah.”
Stretching, her colleague said, “It feels pretty festive outside. I'm planning to go out with friends after work and
take in the holiday fun. How about you? Any plans?”
Celeste smiled and shook her head. She put away the gingerbread cookies and dove straight back to work.
After work, she remembered that a plant at hwas wilting, so she decided to pick up a new one.
Upon arriving at the mall, she noticed the surroundings were decorated with Christmas trees and Santa figures,
just as her colleague had said.
It felt very festive indeed.
The street was bustling with people, all walking with someone by their side.
Celeste took in the lively sights around her and suddenly found herself frozen in place.
