Jorge asked , “ Are you familiar with that woman ? ”
Hearing him mention Celeste , Wynn’s fingers briefly tightened on the keyboard . She instinctively thought he might be interested in her .
Celeste was indeed beautiful . But recalling what she had overheard at the auction that day , along with Jorge’s current attitude , she quickly realized she had been mistaken .
Expressionless , she replied , “ Not really . Why ? ”
Jorge glanced in Celeste and Matthias’s direction and said , “ Judging by how she talks with Matthias , she seems quite capable . ”
Wynn said indifferently , “ I’m not sure , but I heard she only has a bachelor’s degree . ”
“ Only a bachelor’s degree ? ”
“ Mm . ”
That explained a lot . With a lower academic background than Wynn and lacking the same striking charm , it was understandable that she would feel insecure about Matthias being taken away .
Jorge could understand Celeste’s nervousness about losing Matthias .
But seeing someone better than herself and instantly treating them as an enemy , always assuming other women were trying to seduce her boyfriend ? That was a real turn – off .
With that thought , Jorge’s neutral attitude toward Celeste shifted into mild dislike .
Meanwhile , Matthias , now free for a moment , glanced through the glass window at Jorge and Wynn inside the conference room .
After watching for a few seconds , he leaned in close to Celeste and murmured , “ Jorge likes Wynn ? ”
Celeste was focused on processing data , and it took her a second to register who he was referring to . Then she replied in a flat tone , “ Probably . ”
She genuinely didn’t care about the matter . After answering , she simply pulled Matthias back to work , reminding him to quit gossiping .
The sooner they finished , the sooner they could leave .
Matthias smirked . “ What a poor choice . ” That was the end of his gossiping .
Jorge , noticing Matthias glancing their way , assumed he was looking at Wynn . And when he saw Celeste frown and pull Matthias away , he thought she was annoyed that he kept staring at Wynn .
Wynn ran into a technical issue and paused .
She wanted to ask Matthias for guidance , but when she looked over , she found that both he and the InnovaTech engineers were completely focused on listening to Celeste .
The way they looked at her – if she didn’t know better , she would have thought Celeste was some kind of top – tier technical expert .
At that thought , Wynn averted her gaze .
Celeste and Matthias worked straight through until after 5:00 pm before finally wrapping things up .

Jonathan invited Celeste and Matthias into the conference room to take a break and have some water .
Meanwhile , the contract between CodeFlux and InnovaTech had also been finalized .
Seeing that Jorge’s team had also finished their work , Jonathan said , “ It’s getting late . How about grabbing dinner together ? ”
Jorge’s heart stirred , and he looked at Wynn .
Wynn , as if not noticing his gaze , replied , “ Sorry , Trevor is coming to pick me up from Fleming Group . We have other plans , so I won’t be joining . Enjoy your meal . ”
Hearing that Wynn wouldn’t be going , Jorge instantly lost interest in the dinner as well . “ I’ve got things to do as well . Let’s do it another time . ”
Wynn wasn’t surprised by his response , but she showed no reaction on her face .
The more Matthias observed , the more convinced he became that Jorge liked Wynn .
It was also obvious that Jorge only backed out of the dinner because Wynn wasn’t going .
With both of them declining , Jonathan found himself in an awkward position and turned to Matthias . “ Mr. Yoder , what about you ? ”
Matthias clinked his teacup against Celeste’s and grinned . “ We’re free , right , Cel ? ”
