Besides , Celeste and Jorge weren’t exactly enemies . It was just that in that situation , Celeste wasn’t in the wrong , and she didn’t want to compromise too casily .
Now that Theodore had personally reached out , she could give him this courtesy ..
However …
At that moment , Theodore spoke gently , “ Cel , there’s no rush . Take your time to think about it and reply to me . when you’re ready . ”
Celeste responded , “ Okay . ”
Theodore added , “ As for Jorge , just treat him however you see fit . You don’t have to do it for my sake . ”
Celeste replied , “ I understand . ”
Hearing her straightforward response , Theodore chuckled . “ Alright , then I won’t disturb you any longer . Let’s chat again when we have time . ”
“ Okay . Goodbye . ”
After ending the call , Celeste thought for a moment and then dialed Zachary
It took Zachary half an hour to return the call . “ What is it ? ”
Celeste briefly explained the situation .
Zachary responded , “ Theodore doesn’t easily promise favors . You should think it through carefully . ” His words reaffirmed Theodore’s character .
Hearing this , Celeste said , “ Alright , I understand . Thank you , Mr. Newman . ”
“ Mm . ” Zachary didn’t say much else and hung up .
The next morning , Celeste finally returned Theodore’s call
Theodore had anticipated that she might consult Zachary before making a decision , so he wasn’t surprised by the delayed response .
Hearing her answer , he spoke warmly , “ Alright , I understand . Thank you , Cel . ”
Celeste said , “ You’re too polite . ”
After hanging up , Theodore sighed .
A colleague beside him chuckled , “ What’s wrong , Mr. Robinson ? ”
Theodore sat down and said , “ I wish I had a daughter . ”
“ We’re at this age already . Don’t give your wife a hard time Your son is at the right age to get married – you should be hoping for a daughter – in – law instead .”
Theodore answered , “ Well , it’s not like my son is making things any easier . ”

Celeste had already informed Matthias that Theodore had reached out to her .
When Jorge arrived , Matthias made him wait for over an hour before finally agreeing to see him .
Jorge was genuinely eager to collaborate because the new proposal he brought was even better than the previous
one .
However , Matthias remained indifferent and simply said , Looking forward to working together . ”
Jorge shook his hand . “ Looking forward to working together ” He had no personal grudge against Matthias – his issue was only with Celeste .
He then suggested , “ It’s a little late . Let’s have lunch together and discuss the next steps for our collaboration ? ” Matthias smiled . “ Sure . But Cel will be joining us too . You don’t mind , do you , Mr. Robinson ? ”
Jorge assumed that Matthias had agreed to the collaboration because Theodore had reached out to Zachary , who then spoke to Matthias . He didn’t actually care about Celeste .
Although he didn’t like her , now that they had to work together , he was willing to set personal grudges aside and focus on business .
He replied , “ Of course . As long as Ms. Rodriguez doesn’t mind . ”
Matthias said nothing and sent someone to invite Celeste .
When Celeste received the message , she came over right away .
Jorge had expected her to be upset about the collaboration or to lash out at Matthias .
But when she saw him , she simply extended her hand calmly and said , “ Looking forward to working with you .
