Then, Henry sighed. “Ms. Locket sure is lucky, huh?”
Without waiting for a reply from Celeste and Matthias, Henry leaned in and whispered, “Even though Ms. Locket’s team worked over the weekend, the project wasn’t progressing much. Last night, Mr. Fleming came back to the office around 7:00 pm to help her with the key aspect of the project, and things finally started to progress.
“And, here’s the thing: ”
Henry continued, “Apparently, Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locket spent the night in the office upstairs, and they haven’t gotten out of bed yet.”
As his words fell, he shot Matthias a teasing look, raising an eyebrow.
Matthias instantly grasped what
Henry was implying
Basically, Henry was saying that last night, after Trevor and Wynn finished work, they were at the office upstairs and…
Matthias covered Celeste’s ears immediately. “Oh dear, what did I just hear?”
Celeste had heard it all. It was a little too late to cover her ears.
Besides, it was Wynn who had answered the call when Jordyn called Trevor this morning. That explained everything.
Just as Matthias was about to speak, Wynn appeared out of nowhere.
He withdrew his hands and scoffed. “Didn’t they already get up
now?”
Henry noticed Wynn, too. Awkwardly, he let out a few dry coughs. “Yeah, it seems like they did.”
Wynn appeared in good spirits, though she looked quite exhausted.
She had been working overtime for the past few days, and she had spent the night upstairs with Trevor…
Henry shifted his gaze away in a stiff manner.
Given everything, it was normal for her to be tired.
After Wynn gave Matthias a quick nod, she joined her team for a meeting.
Having rested for a while, Celeste and Matthias dove back into work.
When it was almost lunch break, they talked about where to grab a meal.
Just then, Trevor came in.
He glanced at Celeste and then quickly looked away and went into the meeting room to meet with Wynn.
Everyone stood up and greeted him when they saw him entering.
Wynn, however, remained in her seat. She looked up and smiled at Trevor. “You’re here.”
Trevor nodded and asked, “How’s it going?”
“I’ve got a clearer picture now, and things are starting to come together.”
“That’s good to hear,” Trevor replied.

“It’s all thanks to your help last night,” said Wynn
Trevor flashed her a smile. “It’s the least I could do.!!
Then, he turned to everyone else. “Thanks for pushing through the last couple of days. Let’s get together for a meal later.”
He was offering to treat them to a meal.
Hearing this, everyone in Wynn’s team was excited, realizing how many advantages there were to working with her.
Suddenly, Wynn asked, “Shall we ask Mr. Yoder as well?”
In other words, Wynn was suggesting to invite Matthias, Celeste, and Henry, along with their team members, for
a meal.
Though Trevor proposed a meal, Wynn was thinking of inviting others as well. Such suggestions typically came from people in very close relationships, like lovers or spouses.
“Okay.”
Trevor had no problem with it.
Hence, Wynn left the meeting room and walked to Matthias and Celeste.
