Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 125

The trending topic came and went so quickly that no one paid it much attention.

Carmen wavered, trying to comfort herself with the thought that a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.

Even if Zephyrus Atelier had gotten itself mixed up in some ambiguous scandal, business partners were still lining up at their door. No matter what, they were still better off than Kismet Collective!

She was just piecing together a face-saving excuse in her mind when the lounge door swung open.

Crystal Lennox entered, shaking hands with seven or eight brand representatives and investors, one by one. "I look forward to working together."

"To a great partnership, Miss Lennox."

"Looking forward to it."

The greetings echoed around the room.

Carmen was stunned.

How could this be happening?!

She even spotted the head of Reed & Ripple among the group!

Unable to accept it, she hurried over to him. "Mr. Teague, didn't your company already cancel its partnership with Kismet Collective and announce you'd be working exclusively with Zephyrus Atelier? Why are you here?"

Teague seemed to vaguely remember Carmen—he recalled she was a mid-level manager at Kismet Collective.

"Cancel? That was never the case. I've always admired Miss Selwyn's designs. Our last collaboration was only postponed due to some internal restructuring, not canceled. In fact, I should thank Miss Lennox for not holding a grudge and agreeing to continue working with Reed & Ripple."

Carmen felt as if she'd been struck by lightning.

What did he mean, he liked Celestine's designs?

This couldn't be real. It just couldn't!
