Chapter 103
Trevor let out a silent chuckle and said, “Got it.”
With that, he turned around and left.
By the the went back downstairs, Miles and the others were already eating. Seeing him return alone, they
were all a bit surprised.
Like Jordyn, they had assumed that since Trevor personally went to invite her, Celeste would never refuse.
Beck asked, “She’s not coming down?”
Trevor replied, “No.”
Then, he turned to the staff assisting them and instructed, “Prepare a portion of the barbecue, grilled chicken,
and stew. Then, send it upstairs to the missus.”
Wynn pressed her lips together at his words.
Celeste refusing to cdown and Trevor arranging for food to be sent up to her didn’t necessarily mean
anything.
But, she didn’t like hearing him refer to Celeste as the missus. It sounded like he was acknowledging Celeste as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis wife.
However, she soon reasoned that the staff at the retreat probably didn’t even know Celeste’s name. If he didn’t
refer to her as the missus, how would they know who the food was for?
Back in the room, Celeste was actually getting hungry.
When she heard the doorbell and saw it was the staff delivering food, she opened the door and let them push
the food cart inside.
The staff carefully set the dishes on the table and lifted the lids one by one, explaining each dish to her.
But the moment the lids were lifted, Celeste frowned and said, “Did you send this to the wrong room? This isn’t
what | ordered.”
The aroma of stew filled the air, and the table was covered with an assortment of fresh seafood, beef tripe, and
lamb-all incredibly appetizing.
She had to admit, it looked delicious. But the problem was, this wasn’t what she ordered.
“There's no mistake. Mr. Fleming instructed us to send these up to you,” the staff member replied respectfully. ”
The meal you ordered is almost ready in the kitchen and will be sent up shortly.”
Celeste paused.
There was already more than enough food for two to three people. And now, on top of that, her own order was
still coming,
As a result, she ended up eating for a long time.
By the ther scheduled meeting with Matthias was about to start, she was still eating.
Matthias started the video call early to ask her for sdocuments. But when Celeste entered the call, he saw
her still eating and said, “What are you eating? Looks good.”

Celeste turned her camera slightly to show him.
Other team members joined the call and, upon seeing the feast in front of her-filled with premium, expensive
dishes were stunned.
“That much food? Did you just start eating?”
Celeste replied, “No, I'm almost done.”
“You ordered all that just for yourself?“.
She hesitated for a moment and said, “I didn’t order this.”

Matthias immediately caught on. “Trev-your husband ordered it?”
Celeste said, “He had it sent up.”
Matthias smirked. “At least he has a conscience.”
Celeste didn’t bother responding. She didn’t care to explain that he had only done it to put on a show for his
grandmother.
Seeing that their scheduled meeting twas approaching, and feeling a bit too full, she finally set down her
utensils.
She called for the staff to clean up the table, moved her laptop a little farther away, and shifted her focus to
work. Once they got started, the meeting dragged on past ten in the evening. However, no one seemed ready to
stop.
Celeste was deeply engrossed in discussing the next part of the project with the team when the door outside
suddenly opened.
Trevor walked in.
The camera was angled in a way that captured the entrance. The moment Celeste realized, she quickly adjusted
the camera away.
