Matthias crossed his legs . “ Become what exactly ? Blinded by lust ? Or unable to tell right from wrong ? ”
Both .
Of course , Jorge didn’t say that out loud .
Matthias saw right through him and smiled . “ But why do I feel like the one who’s blinded and can’t tell right from wrong isn’t me , but someone else ? ”
Before Jorge could respond , Matthias added , “ Also , the student my mentor values most isn’t me . It’s someone else entirely . Mr. Robinson , you’re giving me far too much credit . ”
Jorge didn’t expect that , even after bringing up Zachary , Matthias still showed no sign of remorse .
But Matthias wasn’t about to indulge him . He said directly , ‘ If you can’t bear to watch and want to seek justice on behalf of Ms. Locket , then you’re free to terminate our contract .
“ Of course , the condition is that you’ll have to compensate YodaVision for the corresponding losses . ”
Jorge thought he had approached Matthias politely and reasonably .
But Matthias had been hostile from the beginning , and now in a fit of anger , he was even bringing up the possibility of canceling their partnership . It was outrageous .
Jorge pressed his lips together and said seriously , “ Mr. Yoder , please don’t act on impulse- ”
Matthias stared directly at him . “ I’m not . I’m dead serious .
Jorge was stunned .
Matthias ‘ gaze was cold and distant , but his expression was firm . At that moment , Jorge realized Matthias really was serious .
And all of this just because he’d spoken a few words on Wynn’s behalf ? Was that really necessary ?
The more serious Matthias became , the more childish and petty Jorge felt he was being .
He tightened his lips , wanting to say something more , but Matthias had already lost interest in continuing .
He stood up and said coldly , “ Since you have no interest in discussing business today , I won’t keep you any longer . Candice , please show him out . ”
Jorge called out , “ Mr. Yoder ! ”
Matthías gave a half – smile . “ Mr. Robinson , you really do care about someone else’s girlfriend . I wonder if Mr. Fleming knows how concerned you are about Ms. Locket ? ”
Jorge froze . His gaze dropped , and his voice softened . “ Ms. Locket and I have a working relationship . She seemed genuinely willing to resolve the conflict between you two , so I couldn’t help but try to talk you around , that’s all . ”
“ Oh ? Is that so ? ”
Since Jorge wasn’t admitting to any personal feelings , Matthias wasn’t interested in digging deeper . He said , “ I’m not in the mood to discuss business anymore . Mr. Robinson , please leave . ”
“ Mr. Yoder ! ”
“ Candice , see him out . ”

Matthias ‘ attitude was resolute .
Jorge realized that forcing the issue would be pointless . After giving Matthias a final glance , he turned and left .
Outside YodaVision , Jorge saw Wynn still waiting nearby . He paused .
Wynn looked up at him and said , “ Mr. Robinson , done with your meeting so soon ? ”
He hesitated before replying , “ Yeah . ”
Then he added , “ I just spoke with Mr. Yoder . He knows you’re out here waiting for him , but he doesn’t seem interested in seeing you . Ms. Locket , maybe you should go back for now . ”
Wynn shook her head . “ This matter is extremely important to me . I still want to try and see Mr. Yoder . Don’t worry about me . ”
Seeing how persistently she waited , a flicker of unspoken heartache passed through Jorge’s eyes .
But he truly had no sway over Matthias .
Just then , a thought struck him – Zachary . If he knew about this , he probably wouldn’t let Matthias act so recklessly , would he ?
Jorge and Wynn had nothing beyond a professional relationship . No matter how much he sympathized with her , he had no grounds to say anything personal .
So , all he could say was , “ I’ll head off first . See you next time . ”
Wynn smiled and nodded .
Then , Jorge turned and left .
After getting into his car , he paused and then decided to call Theodore .
A few hours later , Theodore returned his call . “ What is it ? ”
Jorge hesitated and then finally said , “ It’s not a big deal , really , just that maybe Matthias ‘ gotten a little too successful . The way he’s handling things now – he’s getting more and more willful and reckless … ”
