Chapter : 568
Wynn and Trevor arrived at the restaurant almost at the same time. Just as they were about to enter, they ran into Hugh Lytton, the man Trevor was supposed to meet that morning. Hugh clearly didn’t mind at all that Trevor had suddenly changed the time of their meeting When he saw him, he came over warmly and greeted him, saying proactively, “I watched the press conference this morning. Everyone in and outside the industry is full of praise. Congratulations.” + Trevor said, “Thank you.
About our meeting-” “With Fleming Group achieving such a major technical breakthrough, it’s only natural for you to attend the press conference in person. I completely understand. No need to worry about it.” 1 Earlier, when she watched Fleming Group’s press conference, Wynn already knew that Trevor actually didn’t need to be there. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had time now to join her and Miles for a meal. He would’ve been tied up with post-press conference social obligations.
1 —- But hearing this now, she suddenly realized that Trevor really did rearrange his schedule just to attend this morning’s press conference… Hugh had an appointment waiting, so after a bit of small talk with Trevor, he ended the conversation and left. After wrapping up the work for Fleming Group, and finally getting a rest day, Celeste thought she could finally take a breather. However, early Saturday morning, she received a call from Jordyn, who said she wanted to go out fora meal and shop.
+ Although Celeste was tired, she wasn’t tired to the point that she couldn’t handle a bit of going out. She just… didn’t really want to go out. 1 Jordyn probably sensed this and said, “Mom, we’ll only be out for half the day. Just lunch, then a little shopping, and we’ll come home.” “Okay.” A little past eleven, Jordyn’s car arrived at the Rodriguez residence. —- When Celeste saw the car, she grabbed her bag and stepped out -only to find that Trevor was sitting inside too, 12 Jordyn waved at her. “Mom, get in!” She definitely didn’t mention earlier that Trevor would be coming.
Celeste paused mid-step. “Mom?” Jordyn looked at her, confused. Celeste looked toward Trevor in the car. 1 He seemed to understand what she meant. He shrugged slightly, as if saying he was just following Jordyn’s arrangements. © “Mom, we already booked the private dining room. Let’s go.” Celeste said nothing and got into the car. Once she was inside, Jordyn curled up beside her and chattered nonstop. Celeste listened quietly, replying here and there. After a while, Jordyn’s classmates started messaging her, so she switched to chatting on her phone.
Celeste glanced toward Trevor, then picked up her own phone and sent him a message. —- “Next time Jordyn makes this kind of request, tell me beforehand. I’ll figure out a way.” 2 Trevor lowered his eyes when he saw her message. Instead of replying on his phone, he simply spoke aloud, “Alright, got it.” 2 Hearing him speak suddenly, Jordyn looked up from her phone. ” Hm? Dad, what did you say’ Trevor smiled. “Nothing.” “Okay.” At the restaurant, after placing their order, Trevor looked at Celeste and said, “I reviewed the key points of the new technical breakthrough.
I think-” 2 Celeste didn’t look up and certainly didn’t look at him. “! don’t want to talk about work right now.” Trevor looked at her, but didn’t mind her coldness. He poured her a glass of water, set it in front of her, and asked with a light smile, “Alright. Then what do you want to talk about?” 16
