NovelBookChapter 504
The flood got worse.
Although the Fleming Manor hadn't been much affected thanks
to its geographical advantage, the cell signal grew unstable
once night fell.
Based on the heavy rain warning she'd received that afternoon,
she might not be able to leave the manor tomorrow to return to
YodaVision for work.
That evening, after dinner, Celeste reported her safety to the
Rodriguez family, then contacted Matthias to let him know she
was currently at the Fleming Manor and might not be able to go
to work the next morning.
Matthias said, "The situation is pretty serious now. YodaVision
has already announced that employees can work from home
tomorrow. So, don't rush. I'll help you handle anything urgent
Let's get in touch again tomorrow.”
"Okay."
After that, Celeste sat on the floor with Jordyn, playing with
spuzzle toys, while Trevor sat on the sofa reading.
Over an hour later, Trevor walked over.

Celeste didn't look up, but Jordyn did. "Dad? What's up?”
Instead of answering his daughter, Trevor's gaze fell on Celeste.
"Want to play chess?” 2
Celeste did like chess. And Trevor was indeed a formidable
opponent. If it were anyone else, she'd usually rise to the
challenge. But if it was Trevor... ©
She gave a faint shake of her head. "Not interested." 2
Hearing this, Trevor didn't press. He simply shifted topics. "If
you're bored, why not go upstairs and read for a bit?" 4
By "upstairs," of course, he meant either his bedroom or his.
Celeste's expression didn't change. "No, thanks." 2
Trevor wasn't offended. He only chuckled lightly, then asked, "
Have you looked at the latest journals?" 4
"No." She had bought the physical copies already, but she'd been
too busy to read them.
Without another word, he turned and went upstairs. +
A short while later, he cback down, carrying several books
in his arms. Then, he set them down in front of her.
Celeste hesitated, finally glanced up at him, and said, "Thank
"You're welcome." 3
She opened one of the books and began to read beside Jordyn.
Trevor didn't disturb her again.
That night, she stayed in Jordyn's room and slept with her.
Trevor didn't cto bother them.
The next morning, when she went downstairs after waking,
Trevor was on the phone. 4
After breakfast, Matthias called to go over swork matters.
Without her computer, Celeste had no choice but to ask Peter if
she could borrow one.
Peter replied that he rarely used a computer, and his had broken
down last year and never been replaced.
Trevor went upstairs in silence and

The computer was right before her eyes. As soon as the login
screen loaded, she could immediately tell this was Trevor's work
But the tasks she needed to handle involved confidential
company information from YodaVision.
She could double-check everything before and after using the
device to make sure nothing leaked. Yet when it cto
technical skills, Trevor was just as much an expert. 1
And she didn't fully understand the extent of his capabilities.
For him to lend her his personal work computer might mean he
trusted her. But for her... 4
Celeste pushed the laptop back toward him. "Thanks, but no. I'll
just use my phone.” +
Trevor seemed to understand what she was thinking. ©
When she refused to use his laptop, he merely smiled, nodded,
and didn't insist. He shut the lid
