Beck did indeed think that way .
Trevor took a sip of tea . “ Although I have custody , the agreement clearly states that she can see Jordyn anytime she wants – there are no restrictions . ”
Beck didn’t expect that .
At that moment , the two children looked over , so they dropped the topic .
Trevor suddenly said , “ I heard you’ve been in contact with YodaVision recently ? ”
Beck paused . “ Yeah . ” Then he asked , “ What about you ? Not interested ? ”
Trevor replied , “ I haven’t decided yet . There’s still time , and I’m not in a rush . ”
Beck hummed a response .
Celeste still hadn’t finished her thesis .
After spending a day and a half working on it , she went out for dinner with Lottie on Sunday evening . They wandered around for more than two hours before heading home .
A quiet , productive , and undisturbed weekend passed just like that .
On Monday , Celeste went to work at YodaVision as usual .
From that day on , those who had previously called Matthias to discuss potential collaborations with YodaVision started visiting in person , bringing their proposals with them .
Jorge arrived on Thursday .
However , Matthias happened to be on a business trip that day .
When Celeste received the news , she put aside her work and headed to the reception room .
As the door opened , Jorge stood up . But when he saw that it was only Celeste who entered , he hesitated for a
moment
Celeste extended her hand and said politely , “ Hello , Mr. Robinson . I’m Celeste Rodriguez . Matthias went on a business trip yesterday and isn’t in YodaVision at the moment .
“ I am currently handling all company matters on his behalf . If there’s anything you’d like to discuss , you can talk to me it’s the same . ”
Handling everything on his behalf ? In what capacity ? As Matthias ‘ girlfriend ?
Jorge wasn’t sure if what she said was true or if she was just trying to assert her importance in Matthias ‘ life .
Even if she was telling the truth , their proposal contained a lot of technical content and specialized terminology . Would she even understand it ?
What was even more ridiculous was that , despite knowing be was here for a business discussion , she didn’t even bring a technical expert with her – she had come alone .
That said , Matthias did seem to value her quite a bit .

Thinking of that , even though he suspected she might not fully grasp their proposal , he decided not to walk away and create unnecessary trouble .
Instead , he extended his hand for a brief handshake and said , “ Then I’ll have to trouble you , Ms. Rodriguez . ”
He sat down and handed over a document . “ This is our company’s proposal , Ms. Rodriguez . Please have a look . ”
Celeste took it . “ Alright , I’ll review it first . ”
Just as she was about to open the document , one of Matthias ‘ secretaries knocked and entered , leaning in to whisper in her ear , “ Ms. Rodriguez , there are visitors downstairs . They said their names are Harvey and Wynn Locket . Should I have them wait in your office- ”
“ No need , ” Celeste interrupted softly . “ Send them away . ”
“ Understood . ”
After the secretary left , Celeste apologized to Jorge before officially starting to review his proposal .
As she read through it , she thought to herself that although Jorge had arrived later than others , he was clearly confident enough to do so . His proposal was thorough , almost perfectly aligned with what she was looking for .
She appeared completely focused , as if she genuinely understood everything .
If she wanted to put on an act , Jorge wasn’t going to expose her . He wasn’t in a hurry , after all .
Over half an hour later , Celeste set down the document and said , “ Mr. Robinson , your proposal is indeed highly suitable for our company’s needs . We will seriously consider it . ”
Jorge didn’t want to discuss much with Celeste – he planned to wait until Matthias returned and talk to him . directly .
But on the surface , he remained polite . “ Thank you for your recognition . I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with your company . ”
