As soon as the words were spoken , a knock sounded at the private dining room door .
It was Miles and Beck .

Miles pushed the door open , and upon seeing how many people were already inside , he exclaimed in surprise , Whoa , so many people ? ”
This restaurant was owned by his family .
He and Beck had just come over for a meal . After hearing from the restaurant manager that Trevor was dining here , they decided to drop by and say hello – they didn’t expect such a large gathering .
And on top of that , it was full of familiar faces .
Seeing so many people there , Miles instantly felt that just the two of them dining alone would be no fun , so he asked , “ Trevor , since there are already so many here , do you mind if Beck and I join as well ? ”
Trevor turned and asked , “ Professor Milford , Mr. Yoder , I wonder if- ”
Since Rodney had just voluntarily invited the Lockets and the Shaws to join , Trevor couldn’t very well refuse his own friends .
Rodney replied graciously , “ Of course , I don’t mind . I wonder what Mr. Yoder thinks ? ”
Matthias smiled and said , “ Mr. Harper and Mr. Quinton are old acquaintances of mine , I don’t mind at all . ” Originally , Matthias had been a bit displeased about the Lockets and the Shaws tagging along . But now ?
He almost wished the whole world would cram into the private room – how could he possibly mind two more ? Meanwhile , Linda , who had been wanting to see Beck for a while now , couldn’t hold herself back once she finally laid eyes on him . She stood up and said , “ Beck , come sit over here with me . ”
But Beck ignored her , and , along with Miles , had the server add two chairs next to Trevor .
They had barely sat down when another knock came at the door .
This time , it was Jorge and three core engineers from his company . His company was also involved in the Fleming Group’s project .
As he stepped in and saw the number of people present , he looked slightly surprised .
But what surprised him wasn’t the presence of Celeste or Matthias – after all , Trevor partnering with YodaVision for the project was no longer a secret .
What shocked him was seeing Wynn , along with the Lockets and the Shaws .
After entering and briefly glancing at Wynn , Jorge said , “ Apologies , everyone , I’m late . ”
Trevor replied , “ Not at all . We just arrived as well . Please , Mr. Robinson , have a seat . ”
Before sitting , Jorge greeted Rodney , “ You must be Professor Milford . It’s an honor – I’ve heard a lot about you . ‘
“ Ah , so you’re Mr. Robinson . A pleasure indeed , ” Rodney replied .
Zeke had originally reserved a large private room with a big round table that could easily seat 20 to 30 people .

Even with the addition of Wynn , Beck , Miles , and the others , it wasn’t crowded .
After sitting down , Jorge asked , “ What were you
discussing ”

Rodney took over and briefly recapped the conversation .
“ I see , ” Jorge nodded , then turned to Wynn . “ For Professor Sweeney to personally message you about this – he must really hold you in high regard . ”
Wynn smiled modestly , saying , “ I’m deeply honored by the professor’s mentorship . I’ll keep working hard , and I’ll be sure to study the recommended paper thoroughly – won’t let him down . ”
With both Rodney and Cayden showing her such recognition , Jorge was genuinely happy for her . At the same time , he felt even more admiration – and fondness – for her .
It was clear he was reluctant to take his eyes off her with the way he looked at her . But since Trevor was present , he eventually looked away .
Wynn , of course , could sense Jorge’s growing interest in her .
She still hadn’t forgotten that Beck didn’t personally attend her grandmother’s birthday , and she was a bit bothered by it .
She glanced over at him , only to find him sitting there quietly drinking tea , not even looking her way , nor reacting to all the compliments being showered on her .
Her brows furrowed slightly before she turned away . 1
Once again , Wynn had become the center of attention , much to the delight of the Lockets and the Shaws .
