Celeste knew that smile of his was a subtle jab at Jorge and nodded . “ Mm . ”
Wynn noticed that Matthias was genuinely good to Celeste and frowned .
Although Jorge and the others had said they were busy and couldn’t join the dinner , their work there was already done , so they headed downstairs with Celeste and Matthias , preparing to leave InnovaTech .
At that moment , Wynn received a phone call . After hanging up , she said , “ Trevor is almost here too . I’ll leave with you . ”
By the time they reached the ground floor , Trevor was already waiting outside .
When he saw them , he got out of the car and greeted both Jarge and Matthias . He also glanced at Celeste but didn’t say anything to her .
Meanwhile , Wynn had already moved to stand beside him the moment he stepped out of the car . Seeing them . together , they truly looked like the perfect couple .
As Jorge exchanged pleasantries with Trevor , Matthias smirked slightly and said in a detached tone , “ Mr. Fleming , we have dinner plans , so we’ll be heading off first . ”
Trevor replied , “ Take care , Mr. Yoder . ”
With that , Matthias and Celeste left .
After having dinner with Jonathan and the others , Celeste drove home .
The moment she arrived , Beck’s call came in . She hesitated briefly before answering , “ Mr. Harper . ”
“ The contract has been signed , ” Beck said . “ You can call your uncle to confirm and then get back to me . ” Before she could respond , he had already hung up . Celeste didn’t expect Beck to move so quickly . Even so , she didn’t trust him completely .
After a brief thought , she called Ivan . “ Uncle Ivan , did the company just sign a project deal with the Harper family ?

“ Yes . ” Ivan sounded quite pleased with the company’s progress but was also a bit puzzled . “ Cel , how did you find out about this ? ”
“ I heard it from someone , ” Celeste replied vaguely before changing the subject and asking about him and his family briefly before ending the call .
Then , she called Beck back . He answered immediately .
Celeste said , “ I’m free on Saturday and Sunday . ”
Beck responded , “ Alright . Do you want to set the time , or should I ? ”
“ You set it . ”
“ Okay . ”
After hanging up , Celeste took a shower . Since it was still early , she caught up on the latest global AI industry

The next morning , Celeste had a simple breakfast and was about to leave the house when Beck called again .
“ I talked to Shanice last night , ” he said . “ She wants to go skiing . Ms. Rodriguez , do you ski ? ”
Celeste replied , “ Yes . ” She knew how to ski .
Beck asked , “ Do you need me to prepare ski equipment for you ? ”
“ No need . I’ll get my own . ”
“ Alright , see you on Saturday . ”
“ Okay . ”
After ending the call , Celeste headed to the company . At 5:00 pm , Jordyn called , saying she was craving Celeste’s cooking .
So , Celeste went over that evening .
Trevor wasn’t home – apparently , he was on a business trip . So , she ended up staying the night .
The next day , before taking Jordyn to school , Celeste remembered her skiing plans with Shanice on Saturday and grabbed the ski equipment she had left there earlier .
This way , she wouldn’t have to go out and buy new gear later .
Seeing this , Jordyn asked , “ Mom , are you going skiing ? ”
“ Yes , in a few days . ”
Jordyn’s eyes lit up . “ I want to go too ! ” She had gone to the ski resort with Wynn and the others a few days ago but hadn’t had enough !
