The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 13

It was Teagan’s voice.

Celeste turned toward the source and saw both Teagan and Trevor.

She stopped in her tracks.

Trevor was smoking in silence.

The distance between them was too far, and with Trevor standing against the light, Celeste couldn’t make out his expression.

Teagan said, “Honestly, I understand. I’ve met Wynn a few times. She’s only 25 and already has a PhD from one of the top universities in the world. I hear she’s also handling her family’s business quite well.

“She’s beautiful, wild, and untamed. Her brilliance and allure are rare. I get why she’d attract you. But her background is… less than respectable. Trevor, have you really thought this through? You

Trevor cut her off. “I know what kind of woman I want.”

Teagan frowned. While she didn’t think highly of Celeste, she wasn’t impressed by Wynn either.

“But-“she began, but the displeasure in Trevor’s eyes stopped her short.

She scoffed. “Fine, fine. You’re so protective; I can’t even say a word. I’ll shut up, okay?”

Celeste stood there, clutching her hands, the night wind stinging her cheeks. She let out a bitter chuckle and lost all interest in eavesdropping further.

Quietly, she turned to leave.

As Celeste walked away, Teagan seemed to recall something. “Oh, by the way, Celeste mentioned she’s submitted her resignation and plans to leave the company?”

Trevor replied, “Jacob told me she made a mistake two days ago, and he was pretty upset. I told him to follow company protocol and terminate her.”

Teagan snorted and said, “That explains it. When she mentioned it earlier, she made it sound like she was resigning voluntarily. I knew there was no way she’d willingly quit. Turns out she got fired. Ha!”
