Then , Henry sighed . “ Ms. Locket sure is lucky , huh ? ”
Without waiting for a reply from Celeste and Matthias , Henry leaned in and whispered , “ Even though Ms. Locket’s team worked over the weekend , the project wasn’t progressing much . Last night , Mr. Fleming came back to the office around 7:00 pm to help her with the key aspect of the project , and things finally started to progress .
“ And , here’s the thing : ”
Henry continued , “ Apparently , Mr. Fleming and Ms. Locket spent the night in the office upstairs , and they haven’t gotten out of bed yet . ”
As his words fell , he shot Matthias a teasing look , raising an eyebrow .
Matthias instantly grasped what
Henry was implying
Basically , Henry was saying that last night , after Trevor and Wynn finished work , they were at the office upstairs and …
Matthias covered Celeste’s ears immediately . “ Oh dear , what did I just hear ? ”
Celeste had heard it all . It was a little too late to cover her ears .
Besides , it was Wynn who had answered the call when Jordyn called Trevor this morning . That explained everything .
Just as Matthias was about to speak , Wynn appeared out of nowhere .
He withdrew his hands and scoffed . “ Didn’t they already get up
now ? ”
Henry noticed Wynn , too . Awkwardly , he let out a few dry coughs . “ Yeah , it seems like they did . ”
Wynn appeared in good spirits , though she looked quite exhausted .
She had been working overtime for the past few days , and she had spent the night upstairs with Trevor …
Henry shifted his gaze away in a stiff manner .
Given everything , it was normal for her to be tired .
After Wynn gave Matthias a quick nod , she joined her team for a meeting .
Having rested for a while , Celeste and Matthias dove back into work .
When it was almost lunch break , they talked about where to grab a meal .
Just then , Trevor came in .
He glanced at Celeste and then quickly looked away and went into the meeting room to meet with Wynn .
Everyone stood up and greeted him when they saw him entering .
Wynn , however , remained in her seat . She looked up and smiled at Trevor . “ You’re here . ”
Trevor nodded and asked , “ How’s it going ? ”
“ I’ve got a clearer picture now , and things are starting to come together . ”
“ That’s good to hear , ” Trevor replied .

“ It’s all thanks to your help last night , ” said Wynn
Trevor flashed her a smile . “ It’s the least I could do . !!
Then , he turned to everyone else . “ Thanks for pushing through the last couple of days . Let’s get together for a meal later . ”
He was offering to treat them to a meal .
Hearing this , everyone in Wynn’s team was excited , realizing how many advantages there were to working with her .
Suddenly , Wynn asked , “ Shall we ask Mr. Yoder as well? ”
In other words , Wynn was suggesting to invite Matthias , Celeste , and Henry , along with their team members , for
a meal .
Though Trevor proposed a meal , Wynn was thinking of inviting others as well . Such suggestions typically came from people in very close relationships , like lovers or spouses .
“ Okay . ”
Trevor had no problem with it .
Hence , Wynn left the meeting room and walked to Matthias and Celeste .
