After work, Celeste and Matthias swing by Zachary’s villa.
Zachary was frowning and talking with someone over the phone. When he saw them, he ended the call, took a seat, and said, “After seeing your research content, some people were interested in meeting you. I’ll introduce you to them next time.”
Celeste nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Her current research had been officially designated as a national project. Then, Zachary talked to her about what she should expect from it,
Afterward, Celeste and Matthias asked lilm for some pointers about something. By the time they left, it was already midnight.
The next morning, they went back to YodaVision Co. Celeste was going through the resumes that the human resources department had filtered for the technical department.
She had been reading them for a while when she suddenly stopped. Matthias was right next to her, and he noticed how unusual she looked. He asked, “What’s the matter?”
“This is Wynn’s resume.”
Matthias raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “Did she actually send in her resume? She just doesn’t know when to give up.”
Celeste fell silent and skipped Wynn’s resume altogether.
Matthias had to go on an outstation trip in the afternoon. He said, “I’m going to have to count on you for the forum two days from now.”
Celeste responded, “Alright.”
He was referring to a business–government forum that was hosted by the local government. Only a little over 30 companies were invited to it.
Celeste went there as a representative for YodaVision Co. She arrived at the venue and had just gotten out of the
and walked car when she bumped into someone she knew. She stopped in her tracks before turning her gaze away up the steps to get into the hall.
Jorge watched Celeste’s retreating figure. Just as he was about to walk up the steps as well, he heard someone calling out for him. “Mr. Robinson.”
He turned around and looked at the man walking toward him. “Mr. Fleming.”
Trevor shook hands with Jorge and said, ”
Jorge responded, “Indeed.”
been a long time.”
They chatted as they climbed the stairs and made their way to the conference room. Every company’s plaque was placed at every seat in there.

Trevor grinned and nodded at Jorge before he turned around and took his seat that was next to Celeste. Meanwhile, she merely stared at her phone quietly, not intending to greet him at all.
He turned sideways and looked at her. “You seem to have petten skinnier. Have you been busy lately?”
Celeste was aware that Trevor was talking to her, but she didn’t respond to him. Instead, she lowered her head and read the document in her hand.
At that moment, someone came over and greeted Trevor, and he got up to chat with the person.
A while later, everyone had arrived. Only then did Harold and the other politicians move to the conference room. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Celeste and Trevor.
Like Theodore, he had no idea who Celeste’s husband was when she told them that she was married. It wasn’t until after Theodore shared a meal with her and told him about it that he learned Trevor was actually her husband.
Taking a look at Celeste and Trevor now, he realized that they looked nothing like a married couple. In fact, it looked like they weren’t close at all. Eventually, Harold turned his gaze away.
Then, the forum commenced. Celeste and Trevor didn’t say anything unless it was their turn to deliver a speech.
