Theodore refused to help , so Jorge immediately decided to contact Zachary himself .
However , he didn’t have Zachary’s contact information .
He messaged Theodore asking for Zachary’s number , and Theodore simply replied with a single word . “ Nope . ”
Before he could even react , Theodore sent another message “ I’ve already spoken to Harold too . Don’t waste your time . ”
Seeing that , Jorge was genuinely a little angry .
But when he tried calling Theodore again , the call went unanswered .
Since Theodore and Harold were both at a dead end , he thought of Caleb .
He remembered Caleb had mentioned before that he had some work – related interactions with Zachary . They’d even had a meal together .
With that in mind , Jorge reached out to Caleb .
Caleb didn’t return his call until the evening . After hearing that Jorge was looking for Zachary’s contact info , he said , “ I don’t have Mr. Newman’s number . ”
“ You don’t ? Didn’t you have dinner with him and my old man before ? You guys didn’t exchange contacts ? ”
Caleb replied , “ No. ”
Jorge was skeptical and couldn’t help but ask , “ Are you sure ? Or did my old man tell you not to give it to me ? ”
“ I really don’t have it , ” Caleb said , confused by the suspicion .
He explained , “ Even though we had dinner together , I’m not familiar with Mr. Newman . Honestly , I think in his eyes , I’m no different from a stranger . He’s not the type to take care of juniors – he’s actually pretty distant . ”
Hearing that , Jorge was convinced Caleb truly didn’t have Zachary’s contact info .
Caleb asked , “ Why do you want to contact him ? ”
“ Just to talk about something . ”
From the way Jorge had spoken earlier , it sounded like he had already tried to get Zachary’s contact info from Theodore , but Theodore not only refused – he’d even told others not to share it .
Then Caleb suddenly connected the dots . “ Did Ms. Locket and Matthias have some kind of falling out ? ”
Jorge paused . “ Is it that obvious ? ”
Caleb didn’t respond right away .
Previously , Jorge had mentioned that Celeste and Matthias seemed to be in a relationship and that Celeste was targeting Wynn because she was too outstanding and worried Matthias might fall for her .
But at a banquet last year , Caleb had observed that Celeste and Matthias didn’t appear to be in a romantic relationship .
He didn’t know what their relationship actually was – until recently , at the training base , when he found out Celeste was also a student of Zachary’s .

Only then did it make sense why Matthias was so protective of Celeste .
Even before learning that Celeste was Zachary’s student , Caleb had already felt that Celeste didn’t seem like the type to target other women out of jealousy .
Putting everything else aside , with just the assumption that Celeste and Matthias were romantically involved was already inaccurate .
As for whether Celeste actually targeted Wynn ? That seemed even less believable now .
With that in mind , he asked , “ So , what exactly happened ? ”
Jorge rubbed his temples and eventually gave a general rundown of the incident .
“ I know Wynn was partly at fault here , ” he said . “ But wanting to terminate the contract over something like this- don’t you think that’s just ridiculous ? ”
Caleb responded , “ I’m not going to comment on that . But you want to contact Mr. Newman just because you think Matthias went too far ? ”
