The Scent of 105

Chapter 105

Celeste assumed Trevor wouldn’t be coming back.

She intended to close the door before heading into the bathroom. However, just as she walked over, she ran right into Trevor, who had turned back.

She froze and stepped aside.

She thought he had just come back to grab something–after all, his luggage was still in the room.

But when Trevor entered the room, he casually shut the door behind him. From the looks of it, he had no intention of leaving tonight.

Celeste was caught off guard.

Before she could say anything, Trevor walked past her and headed further inside.

As he passed, Celeste keenly caught the lingering scent of Wynn’s perfume on him. And there was a faint lipstick mark on the collar of his pajama top.

He had just taken a shower and changed into these clothes, so there was no need to guess–Wynn’s perfume and the lipstick mark had clearly been left on him after they left earlier.

The moment she saw him, she had already noticed that his lips seemed a little red. At first, she thought it was just her imagination.

Now, it was obvious that it wasn’t.

Trevor had already sat down on the bed. It seemed like he was planning to stay here tonight.

That was a bit unexpected. She thought…

But then again, with Martha’s watchful eyes around, it made sense that he wouldn’t spend the night with Wynn. So, did Wynn come looking for him earlier because she was worried? Afraid that something might happen between them?

And Trevor, knowing Wynn’s concerns, had reassured her judging by the perfume scent and lipstick mark left on him, they had definitely shared a heated kiss before parting.

Celeste pushed the thought aside.

Half an hour later, when she came out of the bathroom, Trevor was reading. But the book in his hands happened to be one of the ones she had brought with her.

Her face darkened. She wasn’t pleased with him taking her things without asking. Just as she was about to speak, Trevor looked up. Noticing her expression, he asked, “Do you mind?”

Celeste did mind. But aside from a few notes she had written when she first read the book, there was nothing confidential in it–nothing related to the company’s meeting today.

She calmed herself and replied, “A little.”

Trevor looked at her and said, “Alright, I’ll ask next time before taking it.”

Next time?

She didn’t think their current relationship would lead to another situation where they’d be forced to share a room again.

Trevor shifted his attention back to the book and suddenly commented, “Your notes are quite good.”

It was a compliment.

But Celeste acted as if she hadn’t heard it, grabbed the hairdryer, and went back into the bathroom to dry her hair.

When she came out, Trevor was still reading.

After finishing her skincare routine, she lay down on the other side of the bed, ready to sleep.

Trevor didn’t go to sleep right away.

Celeste had no idea when he finally did because she quickly drifted off.

…

The next morning, she woke up early.

The sun had just risen. But the other side of the bed was already empty.

The room was quiet–Trevor had already left.

Gone so early? Maybe he hadn’t even slept here at all.

She had already arranged with Matthias to return to the company to handle some matters.

So, after breakfast, she packed her things, grabbed her suitcase, and headed out.

Just as she opened the door, she heard Jordyn’s voice from down the hallway, “Wynn is so bad! She promised to sleep with me last night, but in the middle of the night, she went back to her own room instead!”

Jordyn was complaining to Hannah.

Hearing this, Celeste could basically confirm–Trevor hadn’t spent the night in their room.

Instead, he had gone to Wynn’s.

They couldn’t even part for a single night? Were they that passionate?
