However, neither Beck nor Kieran said anything.


    Celeste and Matthias were engaged in conversation with others <b>and </b>didn’t notice the silent exchange between Beck and Kieran.


    <b>Since </b>Celeste hadn’t eaten dinner, she excused herself after while and headed to the buffet area for food.


    Kieran followed her shortly after and struck up a conversation.


    At the same time, Miles happened to be near the buffet. When he noticed them, he froze for a second, muttered <b>Shit</b>,” and then turned back toward Trevor and Wynn


    He leaned toward Trevor and whispered, “That Kieran… I think he likes Celeste. The way he looks at her is… tsk!”


    Trevor followed Miles‘ gaze and saw Kieran talking to Celeste


    The way Kieran looked at her–slightly tilting his head down, his eyes warm and filled with <b>a </b>deep intensity–was unmistakably the way a man looked at a woman he adored:


    <b>Moreover</b>, he was treating her with <b>great </b>care, taking the empty ss from her hand and setting it aside before reaching for a piece of cake from the top shelf and cing it gently in her hands.


    Trevor raised an eyebrow with interest at <b>Kieran’s </b>tenderness and attentiveness.


    Wynn had also nced in their direction the moment Miles spoke.


    Kieran’s actions toward Celeste were indeed gentle and considerate.


    If she didn’t know the truth, she might have actually believed that Kieran had genuinely fallen for Celeste.


    “Kieran will pretend to like Celeste first. Once she falls for him, he’ll ruthlessly dump her=”


    Recalling what Kieran’s friend had <b>said</b>, Wynn turned her gaze back to Celeste and saw that she was chatting happily with Kieran.


    Had she really been drawn in by him? Or perhaps, did Celeste actually believe that Kieran had feelings for her?


    A subtle smile curled at the corners of Wynn’s lips as she lowered her gaze slightly.


    She turned to look at Trevor. Seeing that he remainedpletely indifferent despite watching another man pursue Celeste, her smile deepened.


    Miles suddenly remembered something and said to Trevor, “Oh, right. Isn’t Fleming Group’s techpany looking to coborate with YodaVision? Shouldn’t you go talk to Matthias?”


    Trevor took <b>a </b>sip of his wine and replied, “There are too many people around him right now. I can talk to himter.”


    If Fleming Group really pursued <b>a </b>partnership with Yodavision, Celeste and Trevor would inevitably cross paths more often in the future.


    For most women, if their man still had contact with <b>his </b>ex–wife, they would likely do everything in their power to prevent such a coboration.


    But Wynn?


    She only smiled indifferently.


    On the other side of the banquet hall, Beck was caught up in a conversation with someone,


    When he finally looked over, he saw Celeste and <b>Kieran </b>still talking Judging by Celeste’s expression, they seemed to be having an enjoyable conversation,


    He had known Celeste for quite some time now. Though their rtionship had Improved recently, there had been past tensions between them.


    Because of that, when she talked to him, she never showed such a genuinely happy smile. And she had never spoken this much.


    Beck didn’t know much about Kieran. But in terms of appearance alone, Kieran was undoubtedly impressive.


    A shadow flickered in Beck’s eyes as he thought about it.)


    Turning to the person he had been speaking with, he said, “Apologies, I have something to take care of. Let’s continue this conversationter.”


    With that, he turned and walked straight toward Celeste and Kieran.
