Chapter 541
Wynn and her group left the campsite at noon that day. Celeste and Matthias left a little later in the afternoon.
After the camping trip, on Monday, Celeste officially returned to work.
Since Trevor had gone abroad for a business trip, Jordyn came over to the Rodriguez residence the day after Celeste’s trip ended.
After a busy week, on the following Tuesday afternoon, Celeste received a call from Jordyn.
She said Trevor was back, and she’d be going home that night instead of staying with Celeste. [1]
Celeste said, “Okay, got it.”
After hanging up, she sat for a moment. The mandatory waiting period for her and Trevor’s divorce had already ended last week. 31
Now that he was back from his business trip, it was about time to get the divorce.
She glanced at her phone, but there was no message from Trevor.
Thinking he was probably busy, she put the phone down and went back to work.
Later, she checked her phone two or three more times, but even after she finished working–past nine at night -there was still no message from him.
She stared at her phone for a while, then typed and sent him a message. “I’m free tomorrow.” 1
But even by the time she went to bed, there was no reply.
It wasn’t until the next morning, as she was getting ready for work, that a message finally came through.
“Sorry, I don’t have time today.” 2
Celeste looked at it and picked up her phone to reply when another message popped up.
“I’ll contact you when I’m free.”
Celeste paused for a moment before replying.
“As soon as possible.”
“Okay.” He replied shortly.
After that, she put down her phone and went to work.
She went to Fleming Group to handle some matters, and at noon, went out to lunch with several people from the company.
Just as they entered the restaurant, they ran into the Locket family.
Quite a few people from the Fleming Group recognized Wynn, and immediately greeted her, “Ms. Locket.”

Wynn nodded slightly, glanced at Celeste, and smiled, “Out for lunch with your partners?”
“Yes,” one of them said. “This is Ms. Rodriguez from YodaVision. I believe you’ve met before.”
Wynn nodded again, only giving Celeste a perfunctory glance before looking away. 1
Celeste could feel the eyes of the Lockets and the Shaws lingering on her, but she acted as if she hadn’t noticed.
Wynn soon said, “I won’t keep you all, then. Enjoy your lunch.”
“Ms. Locket, you’re too kind.”
Because Trevor valued Wynn highly, the Fleming Group executives were always polite to her, never daring to be casual.
The Lockets and the Shaws went into their private room first, under the polite gaze of those from the Fleming Group.
Once inside, as soon as they sat down, Linda immediately asked, “Wynn, since Trev’s busy today, does that mean he still hasn’t set a time to divorce that bitch yet?” 2
Just like last time, they’d been counting down to the end of the divorce mandatory waiting period.
But when it finally ended last week, Trevor happened to be away on business.
Now that he was back, they thought he’d handle the divorce right away.
But when they asked last night, Wynn told them he was still busy and it might take a few more days.
That answer disappointed them, but there was nothing they could do except wait. 2
