Chapter 254
After submitting her thesis , Celeste and Matthias invited Zachary out for dinner in the evening .
This time , Zachary didn’t refuse .
When they arrived at the restaurant , Celeste got out of the car with Zachary and Matthias . They headed upstairs without noticing that Beck’s car was parked not far from theirs ,
However , Beck saw them . As he was about to open the car door and step out , his movements paused for a moment .
It wasn’t until two or three minutes later that he finally got out of the car , carrying a drowsy Shanice .
Miles had arrived . So , when he saw Beck , he greeted him . “ You’re here . ”
Beck nodded . “ Mm . ”
A few minutes later , just as Shanice was waking up , Trevor , Wynn , Jordyn , and Linda also arrived .
When Beck saw Linda , his gaze lowered slightly .
Linda , on the other hand , was thrilled . She quickly walked up to him and greeted him sweetly , “ Beck ”
Beck looked at her coldly and didn’t respond , making the atmosphere grow slightly awkward .
Just then , Jordyn walked over . Noticing that Shanice didn’t seem too energetic , she asked , “ Shanice , are you not feeling well ? ”
Shanice shook her head . “ No … ”
Seeing Jordyn , Beck’s expression softened into a gentle smile . “ Shanice’s fine . She’s just a little groggy from sleep .
Now fully awake , Shanice slid down from Beck’s arms and want in sit in the corner of the sofa with Jordyn ,
chatting quietly .
After Wynn arrived , she sat down beside Trevor . Taking a sip of the water he handed her , she pulled a book from her bag and said to Beck and the others , “ I’ll read for a bit . You guys can talk , don’t mind me .”
Miles knew about Wynn studying under James . Seeing her work so hard , he couldn’t help but comment , “ You even brought your books to dinner ? Isn’t that a bit much ? ”
Linda , now sitting beside Beck , chimed in , “ She’s been like this for days – she’s working super hard . ”
Beck was aware that Wynn wanted to become Zachary’s student . And right now , Zachary was having dinner just a short distance away from their private dining room .
However , he didn’t mention this .
As he thought about it , he recalled seeing , Celeste downstairs earlier , standing between Zachary and Matthias . At that time , he had assumed Celeste was only there because of Matthias , that she was dining with Zachary due to her connection with him .
But if that were truly the case , wouldn’t she have been standing next to Matthias instead ?
Celeste had never been particularly social , yet downstairs , she had been speaking with Zachary in an unmistakably familiar and comfortable manner .
YodaVision’s two projects had only been developed in the past few months . And it just so happened that Celeste

had left Fleming Group and joined YodaVision around three to four months ago .
Just a few days ago , James had said that Celeste’s abilities serpassed even his own .
And then , Beck suddenly recalled that when Wynn had tried to join YodaVision , Matthias had , without hesitation , rejected her all because of Celeste .
At that time , both Miles and he had assumed Matthias ‘ actions were driven by some ambiguous personal relationship with Celeste . That his preference for her over Wynn had nothing to do with work .
But now …
He glanced at Wynn , who was flipping through her book , earnestly asking Trevor about things she didn’t understand .
A sudden realization struck Beck like a bolt of lightning , making him completely frozen .
Then , as if jolted awake , he abruptly stood up from his chair .
