Once she was done discussing Wynn’s proposal , Celeste asked , “ What about Fleming Group’s proposal ? ”
Matthias rubbed his nose lightly . “ Well , you know , Trevor is in the same industry as us , so he’s pretty tech – savvy .
Besides , Fleming Group was financially strong
Their tech experts were highly sought after in the industry .
Not to mention that Trevor was an expert himself .
Thus , the proposal he sent over wasn’t just good – it was on a whole different level .
Perhaps that was why he could remain unruffled and only now make his move for a partnership .
It didn’t really surprise Celeste when she heard that .
She said , “ Just assess the situation objectively when you make the decision . ”
After all , working with a top – tier team took a lot of worries off the table .
Whatever had happened between her and Trevor was insignificant compared to the project .
Jorge came to YodaVision in the afternoon .
And this time , Matthias didn’t go and meet him .
Since Jorge didn’t manage to see anyone , he soon left on his own .
Then , Beck came .
Matthias and Celeste went to meet him together .
As they finished reading through Beck’s new proposal , they exchanged a glance .
–
Realizing their thoughts aligned , Celeste extended her hand to Beck and said , “ Let’s make this a successful partnership , Mr. Harper . ”
Beck noticed that Celeste had the final say over YodaVision His gaze briefly flickered between her and Matthias before he stood and shook hands with both . “ Looking forward to it . I believe this will be a great collaboration . ”
Then , they dove straight into the contract details .
As evening fell , they neared an agreement on the initial terms . Just then , Celeste’s phone rang .
Jordyn’s name flashed on the screen – two calls back to back
Celeste dismissed them outright , and Jordyn didn’t try a third time .
Trevor , on the other hand , answered the call from Jordyn .
He went back home half an hour later .
Jordyn was on an IV , looking pale in bed , Seeing Trevor , she mustered just enough energy to murmur , “ Dad …. ”
Trevor sat by the bed . When he noticed the sheen of cold sweat on her forehead , he took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully . “ Does your stomach still hurt ? ”
“ Slightly ..

Though it was still quite painful to her .
Trevor didn’t scold her for eating something bad . Instead , he picked up on her low mood “ Want me to ask Wynn to come by ? ” he asked .
In the past , she wouldn’t have hesitated to agree .
But this time , she held onto Trevor’s fingers , shook her head , and whispered , “ I want Mom to come back . ”
Jordyn adored Wynn . Yet , even when her mother could get on her nerves sometimes , she was still the first person . Jordyn wanted to see when she wasn’t feeling well .
More than anything , she wanted Celeste to be the one by her side now .
Upon hearing that , Trevor replied , “ Okay . ”
He let Jordyn hold his hand as he used the other to call Celeste .
Celeste had just finished discussing the contract details with Beck , and they were about to go for dinner .
She thought of the two missed calls from Jordyn when she saw Trevor calling . After hesitating for a quick while , she answered the call , “ Hello ? ”
“ Jo has mild food poisoning , and she’s currently on IV at home : She wants to see you , ” said Trevor .
Celeste’s fingers tensed around the phone . “ Got it . I’ll come back now . ”
As soon as she hung up the call , she turned to Beck . “ Sorry , something just came up . We’ll have to do dinner another day . ”
Catching the shift in her expression and voice , Beck asked , “ Did something happen to Jo ? ”
Celeste nodded .
“ Is it something major ? ”
Trevor didn’t explain much , so Celeste wasn’t sure either . “ She’s probably okay now . ”
