It really was Celeste ?

Even though Jorge , Lilian , and Linda didn’t specialize in Af and couldn’t fully grasp how groundbreaking Celeste’s paper was , they did know one thing – Wynn’s advisor , Cayden , was a major figure in the AI world .
A world – renowned expert like him paying this much attention to a paper – personally messaging Wynn and urging her to study it thoroughly – was a huge deal .
On top of that , Rodney’s student had just said Celeste’s paper had caused a massive stir both at home and abroad , with top engineers staying up all night to read it .
All of this pointed to one thing : Celeste’s paper had real weight . But how could such a powerful paper possibly have come from Celeste ?
Rodney , not knowing who Celeste was or her history with the Lockets and the Shaws , hadn’t read the paper yet .
Still , just hearing that it had increased large language model efficiency for long – text processing over tenfold was already enough to get him excited .
He immediately turned to Matthias and asked , “ This engineer named Celeste Rodriguez – is she here today ? ”
“ She is , ” Matthias said with a smile . He turned toward Celeste and added , “ This is Celeste Rodriguez . ”
Celeste had been extremely low – key the whole time – whether during the Fleming Group meeting earlier or now -quiet and unassuming .
But her looks made her hard to ignore . Even those who didn’t know her had taken notice of her just because she was so striking .
What no one had imagined was that she was this capable .
When it sank in that she was the one behind the paper causing such a commotion in the AI world , Rodney stood up in surprise and walked over to her , offering a handshake and greeting her politely .
“ Hello , Ms. Rodriguez . I’m Rodney Milford from Yardley University . My research over the years has focused on fundamental AI theory and applied development . It’s a pleasure to meet you . ”
Celeste also stood and shook his hand , replying, “ Hello , Professor Milford . You’re too kind . It’s an honor to meet you . ”
Rodney’s humility and courtesy were evident – so much so that anyone watching might’ve assumed he was the junior and Celeste the senior .
Linda , watching this scene , felt a flare of resentment .
Wasn’t it just one paper ? Was all this really necessary ?
Lilian also frowned .
At that moment , Matthias turned to Wynn with a smile and said , “ Ms. Locket , you mentioned earlier that you’d be studying this paper closely .
“ If you have any questions in the future , feel free to come to Cel for guidance . ”
Wynn pressed her lips tightly together .
Rodney , a well – known professor at one of the top universities in the country , was already showing this much respect to Celeste , and now , Matthias was suggesting that Wynn should go to Celeste for help ?

Linda couldn’t take it anymore .
She slammed the table and stood up , shouting , “ You’re being- ”
“ You’re being ridiculous ! Wynn graduated from one of the world’s top universities with a PhD ! Who the hell is Celeste ? She’s just an undergraduate ! And you expect Wynn to go ask her for advice ? Are you joking ?
“ It’s just one paper ! How does that prove she’s better than Wynn ? ”
That was what Linda had wanted to say . But before she could get all those words out , Wynn cut her off and calmly said , “ Mr. Yoder is right . If I have the opportunity , I’d be glad to consult Ms. Rodriguez . ”
She was nothing if not adaptable .
Matthias , hearing this , gave a cold scoff inwardly .
He knew about the long – standing tension between Celeste and Wynn . So , for him to say Wynn should seek out Celeste’s help on technical matters was as good as publicly humiliating her .
Jorge’s face darkened .
He didn’t understand the technical significance of Celeste’s paper , but hearing Matthias seemingly insult Wynn like that made him feel the same way Linda did .
“ So what if Cayden himself praised the paper ? It’s still just one paper . Isn’t this going too far ? ” Jorge thought to himself .
Lilian’s expression also turned frosty .
Linda , though furious at being cut off , couldn’t say more because Wynn herself had chosen not to escalate things .
Just then , Matthias’s secretary , Candice , leaned in and said , “ Mr. Yoder , Professor Sweeney just called . He said he’ll be coming to Ceravelle in the next couple of days . He hopes to speak with you and Ms. Rodriguez personally . ”
Matthias replied nonchalantly , “ Tell him I won’t have time for a meeting . ”
“ Understood , ” Candice nodded . Then she turned to Celeste and added , “ Ms. Rodriguez , Professor Sweeney said if Mr. Yoder isn’t available , he’s happy to fly here just to meet with you .
“ He said your paper is full of brilliant insights , and he hopes to have a deep conversation with you . ”
Celeste replied , “ I won’t have time either . Please help me decline on my behalf . ”
“ Understood . ”
At this Jorge and Linda’s expressions shifted .
Cayden wasn’t just praising Celeste’s paper – he was willing to fly over just to talk to her ? Could the paper really be that impressive ?
Wynn understood better than any of them just how influential Cayden was in the AI world .
So , when she heard that her advisor was eagerly requesting a meeting with Celeste , her face turned even darker than the others ‘ .
Miles , meanwhile , didn’t know who Cayden was – or what his name meant in the AI field . But he could check the trending topics online ,
Seeing how everyone in the private room was talking about the paper , he pulled out his phone and curiously looked it up .
