Chapter 330
Betty had relatives visiting from Xelora , and they had como Baumond to see her .
That morning , just as Celeste finished a meeting , Betty called and asked her to come over for lunch with them .
She stood by the elevator , waiting , when Joseph Lockridge the newly hired general manager of YodaVision- walked over with Trevor and Jacob ,
Upon seeing her , Joseph greeted her , “ Ms. Rodriguez . ”
Celeste gave a slight nod .
Joseph wasn’t sure whether Trevor and Celeste knew each her . He only knew that despite Trevor being at YodaVision for several days discussing a collaboration , he and Celeste had never crossed paths
Seeing that Celeste didn’t greet Trevor , Joseph assumed they weren’t acquainted . So , he introduced them .
“ Ms. Rodriguez , this is Mr. Fleming of Fleming Group . ”
Then , he turned to Trevor and said , “ This is Ms. Rodriguez from YodaVision’s R & D department . ”
Without looking at Trevor , Celeste simply said , “ I know . ”
Trevor , however , glanced at her and told Joseph , “ No need for introductions- we know each other quite well . ”
Joseph paused , looking between the two .
“ You know each other well ? Sorry , but I don’t see it . ”
He didn’t say it aloud , though . Instead , he gave an awkward laugh . “ Oh , I see . ”
Celeste remained silent .
Trevor chuckled lightly but didn’t say anything more .
At this point , Joseph finally realized – Celeste simply didn’t want to acknowledge Trevor . That made her just like
Matthias .
He wasn’t sure if there was some unresolved grudge between Trevor , Celeste , and Matthias
But , Trevor wasn’t just anybody .
The company was about to collaborate with him , yet both Celeste and Matthias treated him with this distant , indifferent attitude . And what was even stranger – Trevor didn’t seem to mind at all .
Thinking about it , Joseph wasn’t sure if he should be relieved or worried .
Just as he was about to break the silence , Trevor’s phone rang .
He answered , “ You’ve arrived ? I’ll be right down . ”
After hanging up , they stepped into the elevator .
Joseph smiled and said , “ Ms. Locket is here to pick you up for lunch again ? You two have a great relationship . ”
Trevor smiled and was about to respond when his phone rang again . Seeing it was an important ca continue speaking .
When the
the elevator reached the ground floor , Celeste walked out without a backward glance .

As soon as she stepped outside and reached the parking lot , she saw Wynn standing by a car , waiting
Their eyes met
Wynn’s gaze was cold and indifferent .
Celeste quickly looked away and walked toward her own car
Wynn also shifted her gaze away . Only when she spotted Trevor coming out of the building did her eyes softer
As Celeste got into her car , she happened to see Wynn handing her car keys to Jacob before getting into Trevor’s car with him .
Celeste withdrew her gaze and drove off , leaving them behind in her rearview mirror .
At the restaurant , after finishing lunch , Celeste escorted Betty’s guests into their car and watched them leave . Just as she was about to get into her own car to return to work , she saw Jorge stepping out of the restaurant .
The moment he saw her , his brows instinctively furrowed .
The last time he had seen her was when Trevor had gone to YodaVision to find her . He didn’t know if things between them had progressed further , but he had heard that Trevor and YodaVision were now collaborating
Would that give Celeste and Trevor an opportunity to rekindle something ?
He didn’t voice his thoughts , but the moment he saw her , his furrowed brows gave them away .
Without greeting him , Celeste simply got into her car and drove off .
Jorge also returned to his company .
His collaboration with the Locket family was already in discussion .
At around 3:00 pm , his secretary walked in and said , “ Mr. Robinson , Ms. Locket is here . ”
Jorge paused . “ Ms. Locket ? ”
“ Yes , ” his secretary replied . “ She said Mr. Locket has caught a cold, so she’s here on his behalf to discuss the collaboration with you . ”
Hearing this , a flicker of excitement flashed in Jorge’s eyes . He immediately stood up and strode toward the meeting room .
Upon seeing him , Wynn immediately apologized , “ I’m sorry . My father isn’t feeling well , so for this collaboration
Jorge cut her off with a smile . “ It’s fine . ”
Wynn didn’t miss the hint of joy in his eyes . She smiled slightly and simply withdrew her gaze .
After discussing the collaboration , Jorge seized the opportunity and asked , “ Ms. Locket , do you have time later ? Would you like to have dinner together ? ”
Wynn smiled and shook her head . “ I have a race coming up , so I need to head to the track for train dinner another time . ”
Let’s do
Jorge knew Wynn was a racer . But ever since he met her , she hadn’t participated in any competitions
He had only searched online for videos of her past races , downloading them to his phone to watch repeatedly .

In other words , he had never seen her race in person before
Now that she mentioned it , he was very tempted to go watch . However .
If she were training today , then Trevor would definitely be accompanying her , right ?
With th
that thought , he didn’t bring it up . Instead , he said , “ Another time , then
Wynn nodded , exchanged a few more pleasantries , and left ,
Shortly after she left , Xavier called him . “ Caleb happens to be off today . Want to meet up ? ”
Hearing this , Jorge immediately had an idea .
“ Sure , ” he said . “ But , let’s skip the bar this time . How about we go somewhere else ? ”
Xavier was intrigued . “ Oh ? Where to ? ”
“ Let’s go watch a car race . ”
“ A car race ? ” Xavier sounded interested . “ Sounds fun ! ”
After finding out where Wynn’s training session was taking place , they went for dinner before heading to the race track with Caleb .
