The Breaking Point of Love

Chapter 23

At that moment, Zeke had just arrived in the break room and paused when he overheard Celeste and Naomi’s

conversation

He and Jacob had always thought that Celeste wouldn’t be able to leave the company. They were confident that she would find a way to stay.

When Naomi took over Celeste’s duties, they expected Celeste to make a move. After all, Naomi was stunning How could Celeste let her stay so close to Trevor?

However, during the past couple of days, Celeste had not only accepted Naomi but also gotten along well with her. Now, she was even willing to teach Naomi how to make the coffee Trevor liked.

Celeste was oblivious to Zeke’s thoughts. She was focused on finishing her work and politely turned down Naomi’s offer to go out for dinner that evening.

She planned to head home for a quick meal and continue researching Al–related topics.

Just as she left the company, her phone rang. It was Jordyn calling

“Mom, are you done with work?”

Celeste got into the car and replied, “What’s up?”

“I want you to cook dinner. Can you make it when you come home?”

Celeste paused.

She and Trevor weren’t officially divorced yet, and he hadn’t called to ask her to move out. So, he probably wouldn’t mind her going back to make dinner for Jordyn.
