Beck came back to his senses , looked at Celeste with a smile , and shook his head . “ It’s nothing . ”
After finishing the business discussion with Beck that afternoon , Matthias called Celeste .
Matthias said , “ I just got word from the lawyer – Wynn still refuses to terminate the contract . She’s willing to pay
a substantial compensation fee for damage to our reputation , but I didn’t agree .
“ Since negotiations failed , I’ve asked the lawyer to proceed with legal action . ”
Celeste replied , “ Alright , got it . ”
After that , Matthias added , “ Trevor is coming to the company tomorrow to discuss some matters . Joseph can handle the first part of the meeting , but there’s one document that needs your confirmation , so
In other words , she would have to meet with Trevor tomorrow .
Celeste understood what he meant and said , “ Alright , understood . ”

The next day , Trevor and Jacob arrived at YodaVision in the afternoon .
As Matthias had said , Joseph was the one who received them initially . Midway through the meeting , Celeste got a message from Joseph and went over to the conference room
Perhaps Joseph had already explained that she was stepping in on behalf of Matthias to review and sign the contract . So , when Celeste entered , neither Trevor nor Jacob looked surprised .
She entered the conference room and greeted him formally , “ Hello , Mr. Fleming . ”
Trevor shook her hand and sat down without saying much .
Celeste flipped through the documents and confirmed some terms of the contract with him . Once everything checked out , she signed her name immediately and said , “ Looking forward to working together . ”
Trevor replied , “ Looking forward to it . ”
Since her part of the meeting was done , Celeste got ready to leave . She turned to Joseph and said , “ I have other matters to handle . Mr. Lockridge , could you please handle the rest with Mr. Fleming ? ”
Just as she stood up to leave , Trevor glanced at his watch , looked up , and said , “ Join me for dinner tonight ? ”
Before Celeste could respond , he added , “ I’ll have someone bring Jo over too . ”
Joseph initially thought Trevor was simply being courteous by inviting her to dinner now that their deal was finalized . But that second sentence made him pause .
Suddenly , he realized – Trevor’s tone with Celeste was a little too familiar , too casual , like they’d known each other for a long time .
And also , who was Jo ?
Celeste thought that Trevor was trying to talk to her about Wynn . And he was worried that Celeste would decline , so he tried to bring Jo into this ?
If it had been before , Celeste might have felt a wave of bitterness . But now , her expression remained calm , and she replied lightly , “ Sorry , I don’t have time . ”

With that , she turned and walked out without looking back Her attitude was unusually cold .
Joseph just watched and felt that something was off .
He glanced at Trevor , just as he was about to speak – only to see Trevor simply lower his head and smile a little , as if he didn’t mind Celeste’s somewhat impolite behavior at all .
Jacob was already aware of the situation with InnovaTech . He believed that Celeste was intentionally escalating things to retaliate against Wynn because of Trevor .
He had never thought highly of Celeste before , and now , he seeming inability to separate personal matters from work made him look down on her even more .
After several interactions , Joseph kept feeling like there was something odd about the way both Celeste and Matthias treated Trevor .
It was just too casual .
Yet Trevor didn’t seem to care in the slightest .
Joseph couldn’t make sense of it , but seeing Trevor about to leave , he escorted him downstairs .
