Chapter 289
Wynn officially owned InnovaTech’s shares now. She was here earlier because she was in a meeting with
Trevor.
“Hi, Wynn.” Linda walked over with a smile. She gave Celeste a sidelong glance and snickered.
Then, she whispered, “She received flowers and was gloating about it, but I told her that a lot of men sent you bouquets and that Trevor transferred the company shares to you. She couldn’t think of anything to say after that.”
Wynn glanced at Celeste when she heard it, but she remained quiet.
Linda added, “Wynn, you told me that Matthias doted on her. However, all he did was send her a bouquet on Valentine’s Day.”
Wynn raised an eyebrow.
Was that all Matthias did? If that was really the case, then it was truly a half–baked attempt on his side. After all, Celeste had major authority in YodaVision Co.
Now that Wynn could compare herself with Celeste, she realized that things might not have been what she imagined. If Matthias really cared about the latter that much, he wouldn’t have given her authority but not an official position, let alone shares.
At that moment, Albert also walked over. When he saw Wynn, he smiled and said, “You have the company shares now. Are you going to step in and run InnovaTech with your own methods?”
She responded, casting a glance at Celeste as she spoke. “I won’t, actually. I’m going to leave it to the professionals. It’s not my style to hold onto power.”
Celeste was incompetent, but she still meddled in everything in order to gloat about the authority she had in YodaVision Co. With that said, that didn’t change the fact that she didn’t hold an actual position or shares in the company. It was actually quite absurd. 2
Meanwhile, Celeste was working diligently. She wasn’t fazed by what had happened earlier at all. That was when her phone beeped. Glancing at it, she saw that it was a text from Zachary.
“Swing by and pick me up tomorrow night.‘
Last week, he told her that someone wanted to get to know her. That was probably why he wanted to meet her
tomorrow.
At the thought of it, Celeste replied to his text, “Roger, Mr. Zachary.”
Then, she tucked her phone away and buried herself in her work again.
The next day, Celeste and Matthias picked Zachary up and went to the restaurant where they had made a reservation. Once they arrived at the destination, they stepped out of the car and saw Theodore and Harold.
When Zachary said that someone wanted to meet her, she assumed that she would be seeing strangers today. It had never occurred to her that Theodore and Harold would be here too.
Celeste and Matthias greeted them, “Hi, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Jennings.”
Theodore and Harold nodded with a grin. They swapped some pleasantries and were about to head upstairs, but someone stepped out of the car and chuckled.
“Are you leaving already? Is no one going to wait for me?”

Celeste turned around, only to be stunned when she saw the person walking toward them. She knew that he halled from the Department of Defense.
Zachary said with a blank face, “This is Kael Gendric.”
Kael had always exuded an intimidating air whenever he was interviewed, but he toned it down and put on a warm smile. He extended his hand and asked, “Cel, I presume. Your reputation precedes you.”
“I’m Cel.” She responded. “Greetings.”
“Looks like everyone’s here.” At that moment, someone stepped out of another car and walked toward them. He was a well–known figure who frequently appeared on news broadcasts.
Zachary added coldly, “That’s Rowan Haldran.”
Celeste shook Rowan’s hands. Just as she was about to say something, she heard another voice call out.
“Dad?”
Jorge got out of the car and was somewhat surprised when he saw this many pivotal figures gathered, including Theodore and Harold. What was more shocking was that Celeste stood among them.
