That afternoon , Celeste and Kieran were in the office discussing work when a knock came at the door .
“ Ms. Rodriguez , Mr. Payne is here . ”

“ Alright , thank you . ” Celeste turned to Kieran and said , “ I have some personal matters to deal with . You go ahead and get back to work . ”
Kieran glanced at Jason and his assistant and then nodded and left .
Each holding a briefcase , Jason and his assistant stepped inside .
Once Candice closed the door behind them , they began laying out the various agreements and documents to double -check everything .
After the inventory and handover were complete , Jason added , “ By the way , Mr. Fleming’s lawyer asked me to pass along a message .
“ He said that if you find it too troublesome and don’t want to be involved in any company management or decision -making , and if you’re considering selling those shares – Mr . Fleming would be a willing and excellent buyer . ” 1
Celeste replied coolly , “ Got it . ”
With that , Jason didn’t linger any longer . He left shortly after with his assistant .
Celeste glanced at the piles of documents in the briefcases , then pushed them aside and went back to work without hesitation .
About half an hour later , Matthias came by .
As he stepped into her office and was about to speak , his eyes landed on the two briefcases by her feet . Curiously , he asked , “ Hm ? What’s all this ? ”
“ Property documents from the divorce agreement between me and Trevor . ”
“ It’s all here ? All those properties are worth over ten billion dollars . Didn’t your agreement say he had two years after the divorce to sort it all out ?
“ You’re not even officially divorced , but he’s already handled everything ? ”
Celeste nodded . “ Yep . Everything’s here , not a single item missing . ”
Matthias let out a dry chuckle . “ Guess he’s in a hurry . ”
No wonder Trevor had contacted Celeste the other day about finalizing the divorce procedures – he had everything ready to go .
Then he asked , “ And the cash ? He transferred it to you too ?
“ Yeah . This morning . ”
“ Tsk . ” Even though he knew Celeste had already moved on Trevor being so decisive still made Matthias feel a little bad for her .
Something occurred to him , and he couldn’t help but huff , You two haven’t even filed the final divorce paperwork yet , and he’s already rushed to transfer everything over .

“ Is he afraid you’ll change your mind and back out of the divorce ? ”
Celeste said simply , “ I don’t know . ”

Ever since she asked for a divorce last year , all she’d been waiting for was the outcome . She no longer bothered to think about everything else .
Matthias paused , then suddenly said , “ For him to do all this so soon … I don’t know , it kind of feels like maybe he still trusts you , at least a little ? ”
Trust ?
The very reason their relationship had begun was due to a mistake that night . 25
To this day , he still believed that what happened then was something she orchestrated on purpose . If she were that kind of person in his mind , how could there possibly be any trust ?
Matthias quickly remembered that too and added , “ Alright , forget I said anything . ”
Celeste changed the subject . “ So , what brings you here ? ”
“ Our company anniversary’s coming up soon . I wanted to talk to you about the banquet arrangements . ”
Their company’s 10th anniversary was right around the corner . YodaVision wasn’t what it used to be – in fact , this being their first decade , they had to go all out .
With that , the conversation shifted to work matters .
Recently , the collaboration between YodaVision and Fleming Group had gained a lot of attention in the industry .
As they wrapped up , Matthias remarked , “ For the anniversary celebration , we’ll definitely have to invite the Fleming Group . ” 6
Celeste replied calmly , “ That’s fine . ”
