Maybe because he saw how exhausted they were, Zachary let Matthias and Celeste go home early that night.
After a long day, Celeste took a shower as soon as she got home and went to bed early.
There was something that needed their attention at InnovaTech the next day.
In the afternoon, Celeste and Matthias found time to make a trip there. As soon as they arrived, they started discussing technical issues.
Not long after, Jorge and Xavier walked in, led by InnovaTech staff. Both of them looked surprised to see Celeste.
Xavier raised an eyebrow. “She‘
actually an employee at InnovaTech? What a coincidence.”
Jorge shrugged. He didn’t even really know her, so how would he know if she worked at InnovaTech?
Hearing their conversation, one of the InnovaTech staff members said, “Are you talking about Ms. Rodriguez? She’s not an employee here. She’s a tech specialist from YodaVision, and she’s here today to help with some technical issues.”
Sensing that someone was looking at her, Celeste turned her head.
When she saw Jorge and Xavier, she immediately recognized them as the ones who had commented on her at the auction that day.
She only glanced at them before looking away, her expression completely neutral.
Xavier chuckled. “Whoa, she’s ignoring us.
Jorge, however, wasn’t interested in talking about Celeste any further.
Just as he was about to speak, Wynn walked in from outside
Seeing them, Wynn was also a little surprised and stopped in her tracks.
“Ms. Locket.” The moment he saw Wynn, Jorge’s demeanor changed. He was no longer as indifferent as when Xavier had mentioned Celeste.
Wynn gave a slight nod, her expression calm. “Mr. Robinson, Mr. York.”
Jorge took the initiative to walk over. “Ms. Locket, do you work at InnovaTech?”
“No,” Wynn replied. “I specialize in algorithms, and I came here recently to improve myself and learn a few things from everyone.”
Although Jorge was a native of the capital, he rarely stayed in the city. He had only returned recently.
After getting to know Wynn, he realized that she was frequently talked about in their circles.
She was rumored to be highly intelligent–graduating from university at 18 was already impressive, but she was also a PhD student at a top–tier global university.
That kind of resume made him feel inferior.
On top of that, she was supposedly skilled in both racing and esports–at a level where she could win competitions. And besides that, she enjoyed rock climbing, skydiving, and other extreme sports.

The more he learned about Wynn, the more he realized she was even cooler and more attractive than he had initially thought. His interest in her only grew.
Unfortunately, she was Trevor’s woman.
At that thought, he kept a respectable distance and said, “Ms. Locket, you’re really ambitious and eager to improve.”
Wynn responded, “You flatter me, Mr. Robinson. It’s precisely because I’ve recognized my shortcomings that I need to work harder, don’t you think?”
Even though Wynn was already outstanding, she remained humble. Jorge couldn’t help but admire her even more.
Jorge and Xavier were also at InnovaTech for business.
Their company, CodeFlux Inc., was collaborating with InnovaTech as well.
In fact, YodaVision, InnovaTech, and CodeFlux were all working on the same project–except YodaVision was、 responsible for the system technology while CodeFlux focused on materials.
Seeing that Jorge and Xavier had arrived, another project leader at InnovaTech, Albert Stafford, came over to greet – them.
Their group walked over to where Celeste and Matthias were.
Albert smiled. “Mr. Yoder, these two gentlemen are…”
Matthias looked up, raised an eyebrow upon seeing them, and said, “So, it’s Mr. Robinson, Mr. York… and Ms. Locket.”
Celeste had glanced at Jorge earlier but didn’t look toward the door again, so she didn’t notice Wynn was there. But the moment she heard Matthias mention “Ms. Locket“, she immediately knew
it
s Wynn.
