Chapter 138
Maybe because he saw how exhausted they were , Zachary let Matthias and Celeste go home early that night .
After a long day , Celeste took a shower as soon as she got home and went to bed early .
There was something that needed their attention at InnovaTech the next day .
In the afternoon , Celeste and Matthias found time to make a trip there . As soon as they arrived , they started discussing technical issues .
Not long after , Jorge and Xavier walked in , led by InnovaTech staff . Both of them looked surprised to see Celeste .
Xavier raised an eyebrow . “ She ‘
actually an employee at InnovaTech ? What a coincidence . ”
Jorge shrugged . He didn’t even really know her , so how would he know if she worked at InnovaTech ?
Hearing their conversation , one of the InnovaTech staff members said , “ Are you talking about Ms. Rodriguez ? She’s not an employee here . She’s a tech specialist from YodaVision , and she’s here today to help with some technical issues . ”
Sensing that someone was looking at her , Celeste turned her head .
When she saw Jorge and Xavier , she immediately recognized them as the ones who had commented on her at the auction that day .
She only glanced at them before looking away , her expression completely neutral .
Xavier chuckled . “ Whoa , she’s ignoring us .
Jorge , however , wasn’t interested in talking about Celeste any further .
Just as he was about to speak , Wynn walked in from outside
Seeing them , Wynn was also a little surprised and stopped in her tracks .
“ Ms. Locket . ” The moment he saw Wynn , Jorge’s demeanor changed . He was no longer as indifferent as when Xavier had mentioned Celeste .
Wynn gave a slight nod , her expression calm . “ Mr. Robinson , Mr. York . ”
Jorge took the initiative to walk over . “ Ms. Locket , do you work at InnovaTech ? ”
“ No , ” Wynn replied . “ I specialize in algorithms , and I came here recently to improve myself and learn a few things from everyone . ”
Although Jorge was a native of the capital , he rarely stayed in the city . He had only returned recently .
After getting to know Wynn , he realized that she was frequently talked about in their circles .
She was rumored to be highly intelligent – graduating from university at 18 was already impressive , but she was also a PhD student at a top – tier global university .
That kind of resume made him feel inferior .
On top of that , she was supposedly skilled in both racing and esports – at a level where she could win competitions . And besides that , she enjoyed rock climbing , skydiving , and other extreme sports .

The more he learned about Wynn , the more he realized she was even cooler and more attractive than he had initially thought . His interest in her only grew .
Unfortunately , she was Trevor’s woman .
At that thought , he kept a respectable distance and said , “ Ms. Locket , you’re really ambitious and eager to improve . ”
Wynn responded , “ You flatter me , Mr. Robinson . It’s precisely because I’ve recognized my shortcomings that I need to work harder , don’t you think ? ”
Even though Wynn was already outstanding , she remained humble . Jorge couldn’t help but admire her even more .
Jorge and Xavier were also at InnovaTech for business .
Their company , CodeFlux Inc. , was collaborating with InnovaTech as well .
In fact , YodaVision , InnovaTech , and CodeFlux were all working on the same project – except YodaVision was 、 responsible for the system technology while CodeFlux focused on materials .
Seeing that Jorge and Xavier had arrived , another project leader at InnovaTech , Albert Stafford , came over to greet – them .
Their group walked over to where Celeste and Matthias were .
Albert smiled . “ Mr. Yoder , these two gentlemen are … ”
Matthias looked up , raised an eyebrow upon seeing them , and said , “ So , it’s Mr. Robinson , Mr. York … and Ms. Locket . ”
Celeste had glanced at Jorge earlier but didn’t look toward the door again , so she didn’t notice Wynn was there . But the moment she heard Matthias mention “ Ms. Locket “ , she immediately knew
it
s Wynn .
