Celeste’s calm demeanor made it seem as if she had already known they would end up working together .
Jorge didn’t think too much about it , assuming that Matthias had given her a heads – up in advance . He responded indifferently , “ Looking forward to working with you . ”
At the restaurant , just as Celeste and Matthias were about to head upstairs after getting out of the car , Jorge caught sight of Trevor and Wynn entering from another side .
He paused and greeted them , “ Mr. Fleming , Ms. Locket . ”
Trevor and Wynn also noticed them .
Trevor nodded , “ Mr. Robinson , Mr. Yoder . ”
Matthias , wearing a polite yet insincere smile , replied , “ M Fleming . ”
Before Trevor could say anything , Matthias cut him off , “ You two go ahead and chat – we’ll head up first . ”
With that , he stepped into the elevator with Celeste .
Back when they ran into each other at InnovaTech , Jorge had already noticed that Matthias had no fondness for Trevor .
This time , Matthias didn’t even bother hiding it , which surprised Jorge .
He wasn’t sure what kind of grudge existed between Matthias and Trevor , but it was clear that Trevor was still polite toward him .
As Trevor and Wynn withdrew their gazes from Matthias and Celeste’s departing figures , Wynn asked , “ If Mr. Robinson is here dining with Mr. Yoder , does that mean the contract negotiations have been settled ? ”
Jorge smiled , “ Yes , they have . ”
Wynn knew that the previous deal between Jorge and Yodavision had falleni through because he had angered Celeste , and because of that , Matthias had turned against him .
Matthias had been very firm in refusing to work with Jorge
She had thought that , just like her own situation , Jorge would end up missing out on working with YodaVision because of Celeste .
But unexpectedly , he
managed to pull it off .
Did this mean that , in Matthias’s mind , no matter how important Celeste was to him , when his real interests were at stake , he would ultimately prioritize his own benefit ?
In other words , maybe Celeste wasn’t as important to Matthias as Wynn had previously assumed .
Thinking of this , Wynn smiled and said , “ Congratulations .
Hearing her congratulations , Jorge chuckled and replied , “ hank you . ”
Then , he turned to Trevor and said , “ By the way , Mr. Fleming , there’s a project at your company that I’m quite interested in . I was wondering when you’d be available — I love to discuss it with you . ”
Trevor replied , “ I’m free for the next few days . Whenever you have time , feel free to reach out . ”
Jorge nodded . After exiting the elevator , he parted ways with them and headed to his privat

By the time he entered , Matthias and Celeste were already ordering food .
Seeing him walk in , Matthias remarked , “ Oh , Mr. Robinson done chatting ? ”
Jorge took a seat , adjusting his position slightly to sit further away from Celeste . Ignoring Matthias’s tone , he casually asked , “ Is there some conflict between you and Mr. Fleming ? ”
Matthias curled his lips . “ No. It’s a full – blown feud . ”
If it were truly that serious , he wouldn’t say it so easily .
Realizing that Matthias didn’t want to elaborate , Jorge didt press the matter . Instead , noticing that they were picking out dishes together , he offered politely , “ This meat is on me . Please , order whatever you’d like . ”
Without even looking up , Matthias replied , “ I know . We weren’t planning to hold back . ”
Jorge couldn’t say anything .
Once Matthias and Celeste finished ordering , Jorge casually added two more dishes and shifted the conversation to business .
After a while , the food started arriving
When Matthias said they weren’t holding back , Jorge had thought he was joking .
But when he saw the table completely covered with dishes , with servers continuously bringing in more food – all of which happened to be the most expensive items on the menu – he felt a faint headache coming on .
Matthias , completely ignoring his expression , kept serving food onto Celeste’s plate . “ Cel , take your time . No rush . ”
