Chapter 249

Wynn was stunned for a moment. After processing his words, she responded kindly, “No worries. Your plans

Celeste was still at the office.

Seeing his name on the screen, she answered the call casually, “Mr. Harper?”

Beck had words at the tip of his tongue, but the noise in the background made him stop short. Instead, he asked, ” Still working at this hour?”

“Yeah.”

Considering the time, Celeste assumed this wasn’t a work matter. “I’m free tomorrow. What does Shanice have in mind?”

Silence.

Noticing his silence, Celeste prompted, “Mr. Harper?”

It was already past nine, and she was still working.

Her own daughter had returned to the Fleming Manor, and she wouldn’t get to see her tomorrow. Yet, despite that, he was still asking her to spend time with someone else’s child.

It seemed a little too unfair for her.

Celeste, however, wasn’t feeling particularly exhausted.

“It’s fine. Tomorrow works.”
