Chapter 369
Trevor didn’t have tto accompany Jordyn, but he could spend twith Wynn?
Before Celeste could say anything, Jordyn spoke again, “Men, | wish you had called earlier. If you had called
earlier, | could have shown you a video from the helicopter
Celeste could tell that Jordyn was very pleased with Trevor's arrangements this time.
For a moment, Celeste didn’t know what to say. But she couldn't shake the heavy feeling of frustration growing
in her chest.
Jordyn continued talking about her plans for the next day and mentioned that she would be returning to the
country that evening.
Celeste listened, and before she could respond, Jordyn suddenly asked eagerly, “Mom, do you have time
tomorrow? | want to call you again.”

Celeste snapped back to reality, and after two seconds, she replied, “I have ttomorrow.”
“Yay!”
Knowing that Jordyn was already on her way back to the hotel, Celeste felt a lot more at ease. After chatting for a
Hittle while longer, she ended the video call.
At this point, it was tfor her to meet with Jamie and the others to go rafting, so she put her phone away.
She had originally been looking forward to the holiday outing. But now, she felt utterly drained.
Still, she didn’t want to ruin the fun for Jamie and the others, so she went with them.
When they arrived at their destination and were in line, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.
Celeste turned around.
It was Kieran.
Kieran had asked her earlier if she was spending the holiday with her family, and when she mentioned rafting, he
seemed very interested, so he had specifically cover.
She had known he was keen on the idea of rafting. So, seeing him here now wasn’t surprising. Celeste just
asked, * When did you get here?”
“This morning.”
After officially joining YodaVision, Kieran had been trying to find an opportunity to ask her out, but had never
been successful.
In the past, every tthey met, it was only at the company, except for that one tat the banquet.
Celeste dressed formally when she went to work. But now, she was out without makeup, wearing a simple
sleeveless top and casual pants, with flip-flops on her feet
The sun was just right today, shining on her face and arms, making her look even more radiant.
Compared to her usual formal office look, she now had a softer, sweeter, and even more stunning presence.
Around them, both men and women couldn't help but glance in her direction. Kieran couldn’t take his eyes off
her as well.
Kieran himself was also very handsome. He was a few years younger than Celeste and dressed in a T-shirt,
shorts, and flip-flops, looking fresh and clean, like a college student.
Celeste’s aunt, Adeline, saw Kieran and couldn't lo

Celeste replied, “He's a colleague at YodaVision.”
but ask, “Cel, who is this handsguy?”
Adeline smiled, noticing the way Kieran looked at Celeste. She felt there was more to it, but didn’t press the
matter.
Besides, Celeste wasn’t divorced yet, and it wouldn't be a good thing to get involved with someone at this time.
Thinking this, she saw that Celeste didn’t seem interested, so she didn’t say anything further.
It was soon their turn, and as Celeste waved goodbye to Kieran, he said, “If you have time, let's hang out later?”
Celeste nodded and replied, “Okay.”
After she left, Kieran’s friend cover, “I have to say, this Ms. Rodriguez is really beautiful. She looks even
more stunning than she did at the banquet.”
Kieran’s face darkened. “Shut up.’

His friend, now knowing that Kieran was seriously interested in Celeste, made an “OK” gesture and zipped his
lips with a “zip” motion.
