Chapter 37
Everyone was amazed to see Celeste . One employee eagerly asked , “ Mr. Yoder , is this lovely lady really our new colleague ? ”
“ You’re well – informed . ” Matthias smiled .
Then , he continued , “ Allow me to introduce her to you . This is Celeste Rodriguez , our company’s … ”
Before he could complete his words , Quentin abruptly interrupted him . “ Mr. Yoder , did you fire Wynn because of her ? ”
After a brief pause , Matthias nodded . “ Yes . I’ll explain it to you … ”
Before Matthias finished , Quentin glanced at Celeste and said , “ Wynn just earned her doctorate from a top – ten university at only 25. Ms. Rodriguez , if you could kick her out to join YodaVision , your resume must be even more impressive , right ? ”
Moments ago , Wynn mentioned that Matthias didn’t hire her for personal reasons , but she didn’t specify what they were . Moreover , Quentin witnessed Celeste and Matthias hugging . Hence , he assumed they had a close relationship , believing Celeste got into YodaVision through connections .
Despite the abundance of talent within their company , few could match Wynn’s impressive resume . It was not just within their organization , but on a national scale . He doubted that Celeste’s credentials could surpass Wynn’s
outstanding qualifications .
With that in mind , before Celeste had a chance to respond , he mocked her again . “ Ms. Rodriguez , you look too young to even have completed your doctorate . ”
Matthias intended to have a private conversation with Quentin later about why Wynn was not hired . The matter was sensitive , particularly due to the ongoing feud between Celeste and Wynn , making it inappropriate for a public discussion . Yet , he was caught off guard when Quentin unexpectedly confronted them .
He frowned . “ Quentin … ”
However , Quentin believed that Matthias was attempting to defend Celeste , so he interjected loudly , “ Mr. Yoder , I’m talking to Ms. Rodriguez . ”
He stared at Celeste and asked , “ Is it hard for you to discuss your education ? Why does Mr. Yoder speak for you ? Are you struggling to pass your doctoral exam , or is your university unranked , making it hard for you to mention it ? ”
Celeste answered effortlessly , maintaining her composure . ‘ It’s true that I haven’t yet passed the doctoral exam , but … ”
Quentin couldn’t help but sneer at her words . He was confident in his assumption . After all , not every woman was as outstanding as Wynn .
He interrupted her with a snort , saying , “ But what ? What do you want to say ? Even if you haven’t passed the doctoral exam , do you think your professional knowledge is as good as ours ?
“ What makes you think that ? Is it just because you’re pretty and used to compliments from men ? Do you really believe you have true talent ? ”
Matthias was furious . “ Quentin ! ”
While reasonable suspicion was understandable , Quentin crossed the line by insulting Celeste to such an extent . It was only natural for him to feel angry .

Quentin removed the work badge from around his neck and declared , “ I quit . ”
“ You ! ” Matthias was taken aback by Quentin’s unexpected impulsiveness .
Quentin turned to Matthias and remarked , “ Mr. Yoder , I once believed you were someone who truly appreciated talent and maintained a clear boundary between your public and private life . It appears that I was mistaken about you . ”
After that , he left .
Matthias was frustrated . Watching Quentin walk away , he called out , “ Take a moment to calm down . Whenever you’re ready to return , I’ll be here … ”
