Chapter 174
There were a lot of things going on in YodaVision.
That evening, after dinner, Celeste and Matthias returned to YodaVision to work.
On Wednesday morning, while they were in a meeting, Matthias‘ secretary walked in and informed him that Beck was there.
He didn’t even need to think to know why Beck had shown up unannounced.
Given Beck’s status, it wouldn’t be appropriate to ignore him since he was already there.
Matthias had no choice but to say to Celeste, “You continue with the meeting. I’ll go see him.”
“Alright.”
When Matthias arrived, Beck was already seated in the reception room.
Seeing that Matthias had come alone, Beck’s deep eyes flickered slightly. He stood up and took the initiative to shake hands. “I came unannounced–hope you don’t mind, Mr. Yoder.”
Matthias had no choice but to say, “Mr. Harper, you’re too polite.”
Once seated, Beck got straight to the point, handing over a document. “This is my offer of cooperation. Do you want to take a look?”
Matthias took it and began reading. The more he read, the more serious he became.
Finally, he put down the document and said, “Mr. Harper, your sincerity is clear, but I still have other considerations. I’ll need some time before I can give you an answer.”
Beck remained courteous. “No problem. Comparing options is understandable. If you have any concerns about my offer, feel free to contact me anytime. I’m open to discussions and adjustments.”
Not staying long, Beck left after saying his goodbyes.
His sincerity and attitude left no room for criticism, so Matthias had to personally see him out.
When he returned, Celeste had already finished the meeting
Matthias couldn’t help but say to her, “Beck is really efficient.”
Just two days ago, he had turned him down over the phone, and now Beck had shown up with a well–prepared proposal and no unnecessary words, just straight to business.
He continued, “Honestly, his offer is very tempting.”
Celeste said, “You can observe for a while. If it truly works for us, there’s no harm in working with him.”
Matthias had the same thought. The only problem was that it would make it harder for him to make things difficult for Beck
That left him feeling a bit frustrated, like having nowhere to vent his irritation.
At around five in the evening, Celeste’s phone suddenly rang while she was still busy with work
She glanced at it and saw that it was Jordyn again.
Jordyn hadn’t called her for the past two days. However, she still didn’t answer and continued with her work.
Two days later, on Friday morning, not long after Celeste get up, Jordyn called her again.
Celeste looked at the screen, set the phone on the table, and ignored it. Then, she headed into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Seeing that her mother still wouldn’t pick up, Jordyn felt so upset that she wanted to throw away her phone. But in the end, she held back.
Her eyes reddened slightly as she quietly took small bites of breakfast.
Sitting across from her, Trevor was also eating, so she said to him in a muffled voice, “That was the fourth time. Since last Saturday, I’ve called Mom four times, but she hasn’t answered once….
Trevor said, “Then wait a while before calling again.”
She lost her appetite. “What if she still doesn’t pick up?”
“Then wait a bit longer. Eventually, she’ll answer.”
Η
Hearing this, Jordyn felt a little better and asked expectantly, “How long is that?”
Trevor paused slightly and said, “Within two weeks.”
Jordyn immediately pouted. “Two weeks? That’s so long!”
Trevor nodded. “Yeah, it is.”
“But I want to go out this weekend. Wynn’s injuries haven’t healed yet, so she can’t go with me. Dad, can you take me?”
Trevor seriously negotiated, “I’m busy on Saturday, but I’ll be free on Sunday. If you want to go out on Saturday, you can go with Beck and Shanice.”
