If Celeste dared to cause a scene , it would undoubtedly upset Trevor
Given what she knew about Celeste and Trevor’s marital status , Celeste wouldn’t dare provoke him . After all , if she did , it would only deepen Trevor’s disdain for her .
Lennox felt somewhat reassured after hearing this , but she was still worried that Trevor might treat Wynn too kindly , which could be too much for Celeste to bear .
Celeste , however , paid no attention to what they were thinking . She wasn’t even particularly aware of their interactions , as she was more focused on the person sitting beside her — Bryson Leonard .
Bryson had known that Celeste would be attending the expo and had made a point to greet her earlier at the event .
The last time they met at a banquet , they had an engaging conversation . He had been wanting to connect with her again since , but both of them had been too busy . Now that they had run into each other , he wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass .
Not long after they were seated , he struck up a conversation with her .
The table was large , and both Celeste and Bryson kept their voices down so as not to disturb the others .
Seeing Bryson chatting amicably with Celeste , Wynn and Lennox assumed she was merely consulting him on some technical questions and didn’t pay much attention .
A man sitting on Bryson’s other side joked , “ Bryson , you’re something else . Even at a meal , you can’t stop talking shop . Your mouth hasn’t rested since this morning . ”
Another person joined in while laughing . “ Exactly . Earlier at the expo , Bryson was chatting with Ms. Locket for quite a while too . ”
When the conversation shifted to him , Bryson smiled but didn’t let them off easily . “ Whenever I try to discuss technical topics with you , you all shove me toward your engineers . And now that I’m talking to someone else , suddenly you miss me ? ”
Someone glanced at Wynn , then at Celeste , and remarked , “ Who’d have thought the younger generation would be so into Al and programming these days ? Times really are changing . ”
“ True , ” another person chimed in . “ After talking to Ms. Locket at the expo , Bryson was telling me how promising the next generation is . He even said the future of our country is bright . Haha ! ”
“ Well , Ms. Locket is a top graduate from a world – class university Jan’t she the very definition of promising talent ? ”
Wynn gave a modest smile . “ You’re all too kind . ”
Given Trevor’s exceptional status , and Wynn’s role as his partner , it was only natural for the group to heap more praise on her .
As for Celeste , while they acknowledged her beauty , they only knew she was an employee at Matthias ‘ company . Though there were rumors of an ambiguous relationship between her and Matthias , she lacked a significant background . Naturally , the group didn’t pay her much attention .
Once the dishes were served , Wynn placed a portion of food on Trevor’s plate , which he accepted without hesitation .
At this point , the group’s conversation picked up , shifting to the future prospects of some exhibits at the expo .
