Chapter 254
After submitting her thesis, Celeste and Matthias invited Zachary out for dinner in the evening.
This time, Zachary didn’t refuse.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Celeste got out of the car with Zachary and Matthias. They headed upstairs without noticing that Beck’s car was parked not far from theirs,
However, Beck saw them. As he was about to open the car door and step out, his movements paused for a moment.
It wasn’t until two or three minutes later that he finally got out of the car, carrying a drowsy Shanice.
Miles had arrived. So, when he saw Beck, he greeted him. “You’re here.”
Beck nodded. “Mm.”
A few minutes later, just as Shanice was waking up, Trevor, Wynn, Jordyn, and Linda also arrived.
When Beck saw Linda, his gaze lowered slightly.
Linda, on the other hand, was thrilled. She quickly walked up to him and greeted him sweetly, “Beck”
Beck looked at her coldly and didn’t respond, making the atmosphere grow slightly awkward.
Just then, Jordyn walked over. Noticing that Shanice didn’t seem too energetic, she asked, “Shanice, are you not feeling well?”
Shanice shook her head. “No…”
Seeing Jordyn, Beck’s expression softened into a gentle smile. “Shanice’s fine. She’s just a little groggy from sleep.
Now fully awake, Shanice slid down from Beck’s arms and want in sit in the corner of the sofa with Jordyn,
chatting quietly.
After Wynn arrived, she sat down beside Trevor. Taking a sip of the water he handed her, she pulled a book from her bag and said to Beck and the others, “I’ll read for a bit. You guys can talk, don’t mind me.”
Miles knew about Wynn studying under James. Seeing her work so hard, he couldn’t help but comment, “You even brought your books to dinner? Isn’t that a bit much?”
Linda, now sitting beside Beck, chimed in, “She’s been like this for days–she’s working super hard.”
Beck was aware that Wynn wanted to become Zachary’s student. And right now, Zachary was having dinner just a short distance away from their private dining room.
However, he didn’t mention this.
As he thought about it, he recalled seeing, Celeste downstairs earlier, standing between Zachary and Matthias. At that time, he had assumed Celeste was only there because of Matthias, that she was dining with Zachary due to her connection with him.
But if that were truly the case, wouldn’t she have been standing next to Matthias instead?
Celeste had never been particularly social, yet downstairs, she had been speaking with Zachary in an unmistakably familiar and comfortable manner.
YodaVision’s two projects had only been developed in the past few months. And it just so happened that Celeste

had left Fleming Group and joined YodaVision around three to four months ago.
Just a few days ago, James had said that Celeste’s abilities serpassed even his own.
And then, Beck suddenly recalled that when Wynn had tried to join YodaVision, Matthias had, without hesitation, rejected her all because of Celeste.
At that time, both Miles and he had assumed Matthias‘ actions were driven by some ambiguous personal relationship with Celeste. That his preference for her over Wynn had nothing to do with work.
But now…
He glanced at Wynn, who was flipping through her book, earnestly asking Trevor about things she didn’t understand.
A sudden realization struck Beck like a bolt of lightning, making him completely frozen.
Then, as if jolted awake, he abruptly stood up from his chair.
