Clearly , it was Wynn who answered the call .
Jordyn felt a little uncomfortable lying right in front of Celeste . “ Mom , how about you take me to school next .
time ? ”
Celeste replied , “ Okay , ”
Celeste and Tucker were going the same way , so they shared a car .
Having missed his morning study session , Tucker made up for it by studying in the car .
Celeste noticed his hesitations and gently corrected him on a couple of points .
Tucker gave her a thumbs up . “ You’ve got a sharp memory Celeste ! ”
They arrived at Tucker’s high school .
Celeste , too , graduated from the same high school .
The familiar campus brought back a flood of memories for er .
Her thoughts were cut short as Tucker quickly got out of the car . “ Bye , Celeste ! ”
“ See you . ”
The car rejoined the bustling road .
Arriving at YodaVision , Matthias pinched her cheek lightly “ Your face looks pale . Are you sick ? ”
“ Yeah , I was running a fever yesterday , ”
“ And you still came to work today ? ”
Celeste shrugged . “ But I’m feeling much better now . ”
“ I’m heading to InnovaTech later . Do you want to follow ? ”
“ Why not ? ” Celeste replied as she went through the latest test data
“ Alright , I’ll come to you later . ”
“ Okay . ”
Celeste noticed some problems with two sets of data , so she went to Yandel to have them corrected .
Matthias came to her when she was about to go through the documents on her desk , telling her it was time to go .
Once they arrived at InnovaTech , they didn’t waste time with pleasantries , Jumping right into work .
About an hour later , when the work was mostly done , Henry handed them a cup of coffee each .
Matthias took a sip of the coffee and commented , “ This coffee is really good , even richer than the ones I’ve had before . Looks like your company’s benefits are getting better and better . ”
With that , Henry flashed a mischievous grin . “ It’s all thanks to Ms. Locket . ”
Matthias rolled his eyes .
“ Wynn again ? ” he thought .

He placed the cup back on the table and glanced at Celeste
“ I’m thirsty , ” Celeste uttered as she continued to sip on the coffee .
Matthias was at a loss for words .
Henry’s penchant for gossip was still evident . “ Didn’t Mr. Heming give Ms. Locket full control over a project ? ”
Matthias nodded .
Henry went on , “ Ms. Locket’s probably a bit anxious since it’s her first big project , so her team has been working overtime during the weekend . I heard they were working until past 10:00 pm last night . ”
“ I see , ” Matthias responded coldly .
“ Honestly , don’t you think she’s quite dedicated and responsible ? She didn’t treat the project as a game just because she’s Mr. Fleming’s girlfriend . ”
Matthias scoffed . “ Could it be that she lacks the skills , which is why she needs so many people working overtime with her ? ”
Henry knew what he was talking about .
“ It takes time for people to improve , right ? ”
“ Maybe , ” Matthias said nonchalantly .
He glanced at Celeste . “ When Cel led her first big project at the company , she managed it with impressive poise from beginning to end . ”
After working with Celeste a few times , Henry discovered that Celeste was way more capable than Matthias .
Hence , he believed what Matthias had just said .
He then added , “ At least she has a great attitude . With that , plus Mr. Fleming’s support , she’s sure to accomplish great things down the road . ”
