Wynu also saw Celeste. She remained composed and said to Matthias, “We have something to attend to, so we’ll leave first. Let’s talk another time.
Matthias shook hands with them. “Alright, let’s catch up next time.”
Without sparing Celeste another glance, Wynn turned and left with Harvey and the others.
Matthias‘ status and reputation naturally attracted attention, and by noon, several influential figures approached him with invitations to lunch.
From what they hinted, Trevor would also be attending.
Trevor’s table would likely gather industry leaders, making it an ideal opportunity to delve into the future direction of Al. Essentially, the market’s trajectory was tied to the decisions of these individuals.
This was not just a chance to glean insights but also to build connections. If the discussions went well, collaborations could be finalized right at the dining table.
Matthias was indeed tempted.
He turned to Celeste while silently seeking her opinion.

With Trevor present, would she…
Celeste was resolute. “I’ll go.”
Once outside, she and Trevor acted like strangers, as expected. But that didn’t mean she would avoid him.
The group of influential figures led Celeste and Matthias toward Trevor’s side.
Trevor watched their approach with a calm expression.
Wynn, however, frowned briefly. But she quickly relaxed. Her demeanor became indifferent as she withdrew her
gaze.
Harvey and Lennox soon joined them. Their expressions darkened when they noticed Celeste’s presence.
Some of them hadn’t greeted Matthias yet, so they took the opportunity as he approached.
When it came to Trevor’s turn, he extended his hand toward Matthias. “Hello.”
“Hello” Matthias replied with a smile. “Mr. Fleming, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. Yoder.”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Trevor and Wynn led the group toward the parking lot. Celeste and Matthias followed behind.
Harvey and Lennox discreetly tried to signal to Celeste, hoping she wouldn’t join them, but she acted as if she didn’t notice.
Trevor and Wynn shared a car, while Celeste got into Matthias‘.
Unable to stop her, Lennox frowned. “That Celeste, honestly…”
The group consisted of over 20 people.

Trevor handed the menu to Wynn. “You can choose.”
Wynn accepted it and asked, “What would you like?”
“Whatever you decide,” Trevor replied.
Those seated nearby chuckled. “Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locke really do seemn close.”
Wynn smiled and picked a few dishes based on Trevor’s preferences.
Seeing this, Harvey and Lennox also smiled.
Meanwhile, Matthias, who was holding a menu, asked Celeste about her preferences.

As Matthias asked for her input, the two quietly discussed and selected a couple of dishes. Harvey and Lennox observed that Celeste wasn’t causing any trouble, and they felt somewhat reassured for the time being.
Wynn, who was aware of their concerns, leaned over and whispered, “Don’t worry. With Trevor here, she wouldn’t dare act out”
