Chapter 177

After saying that , Jorge added , “ I have other matters to attend to , Ms. Rodriguez . See you next time . ”
Celeste had already sensed that Jorge didn’t seem to like her . Even though he remained polite during their meeting in the reception room , she could still pick up on the subtle indifference in his attitude .
Business was business . She was simply looking for a suitable partner – what mattered to her was her own interests , not necessarily making friends with him .
So , she pretended not to notice his attitude and smiled . “ Alright , see you next time . ”
Then she instructed Matthias ‘ secretary , Candice Arden , “ Ms. Arden , please see Mr. Robinson out . ”
Jorge left .
Downstairs , he spotted a familiar figure . “ Ms. Locket ? ”
Yes , Wynn and Harvey had not left .
Candice had indeed told them to leave , citing “ Mr. Yoder is away on a business
“ but they had chosen to stay .
They suspected that it was just an excuse – an attempt to avoid meeting them . So , they had been waiting downstairs , hoping to catch him when he came out .
But instead of seeing Matthias , they saw Jorge .
It had been exactly half a month since Wyrin had been injured . Her wound had mostly healed , though not completely .
Still , she was more or l
less able to resume her normal life .
Last week , Jorge had gone to InnovaTech but hadn’t seen Wynn . When he asked around , he learned that she had been injured .
Her injury had been quite severe , and her time in the hospital hadn’t been easy . As a result , she still looked a little pale and weary .
Seeing her like that , Jorge felt a pang of concern .
However , remembering that she had been injured while trying to save Trevor , he suddenly didn’t know what to
say .
Beside them , Harvey noticed Jorge’s distinguished demeanor and guessed that he wasn’t an ordinary person . He asked , “ Wynn , who is this ? ”
Wynn didn’t miss the flicker of concern in Jorge’s eyes
Her tone was calm . “ Jorge Robinson . ”
Then , she introduced him to Jorge . “ Mr. Robinson , this is my father , Harvey Locket . ”
Upon learning that Harvey was Wynn’s father , Jorge greeted him politely , “ So , you’re Mr. Locket . A pleasure to meet you . ”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries , Wynn asked , “ Mr. Robinson , did you come to YodaVision to discuss a collaboration with Mr. Yoder as well ? ”
“ Yes . And you and Mr. Locket ? ”

“ Yes . ” Wynn nodded . “ Did you get to meet Mr. Yoder ? ”
“ No , he’s on a business trip .”
Π
Harvey chuckled at that . “ So , Mr. Yoder really is on a business trip . I thought he just didn’t want to see us . ”
Jorge paused . Noticing that they were still sitting there , he asked , “ You weren’t invited upstairs ? ”
Wynn replied , “ No. His secretary told us that he was away and asked us to leave . ”
Jorge’s expression darkened .
Wynn noticed and asked , “ What’s wrong ? Is something off ?
Jorge said coldly , “ Mr. Yoder is indeed away , but the person who met me was Ms. Rodriguez , the one we previously met at InnovaTech .
“ She said that since Mr. Yoder was absent , she was handling all matters for YodaVision and could negotiate with me on his behalf . ”
Whether Celeste’s claim that she represented YodaVision was true or not didn’t matter .
What mattered was that she had received him – but refused to meet Wynn . That was clearly intentional !
Harvey was taken aback .
Wynn also paused for a moment , then responded indifferently , “ Is that so ? ”
Then she turned to Harvey and said , “ Since that’s the case , Dad , let’s head back . ”
Harvey pursed his lips , displeased with how Celeste had treated them . But since Wynn said so , he could only reply , “ Alright . ”
Jorge frowned , about to speak, when Celeste came downstairs .
Seeing the three of them , she stopped in her tracks .
Before she could say anything , Wynn’s phone suddenly rang . She picked up the call . “ Trevor ? ”
A smile curved her lips . “ You’ve arrived ? Alright , I’ll come out now . ”
