Although Celeste and Matthias had already asked Candice to politely decline Cayden’s request for a meeting , he still showed up uninvited two days later .
Since he had come in person , Celeste and Matthias couldn’t completely refuse to see him .
They gave him a brief , symbolic reception , but after chatting for just over ten minutes , they politely sent him off .
After that , whenever Cayden tried to arrange another meeting , they simply ignored him .
With Celeste and Matthias maintaining a firm stance , and unable to meet with them , Cayden invited Wynn out for a meal the next day instead .
During the meal , Cayden chatted with her about the developments in the industry for a while before saying , “ If you had joined YodaVision last year , you would’ve grown so much by now . What a shame . ”
At their last meeting , Cayden had asked about her current situation . After hearing she hadn’t gotten into YodaVision , he didn’t comment much .
But now , recalling the matter , he couldn’t help expressing his regret .
Wynn understood exactly what he meant .
Celeste’s paper had caused a huge stir both domestically and internationally .
Many in the industry said that if YodaVision dared to openly publish such an important research achievement , it meant that they must have even more powerful core technologies internally that had yet to be revealed .
And Wynn believed this .
Last year , she had wanted to join YodaVision because of their unique programming language . She had never expected that YodaVision would develop so rapidly in such a short time.
If she had known back then , she would have done everything she could to join YodaVision back then .
Just like Cayden said , if she had really joined YodaVision , she would have achieved significant professional growth by now .
And after two or three years there , when she left , she might have been capable enough to single – handedly revitalize her own tech company .
Thinking back on it now , she realized Celeste had not only caused her to miss out not just on a connection like Matthias , but also on a crucial opportunity for personal development ! 3
Cayder then asked , “ Are you still thinking about joining YodaVision ? ”
Of course , she was . But as long as Matthias ‘ attitude toward Celeste didn’t change , she had no chance .
She wouldn’t say that to Cayden , though .
She simply replied , “ I have my own tech company now . I’ve even collaborated with YodaVision before . With all the security concerns , Mr. Yoder probably wouldn’t consider letting me join YodaVision . ”
Hearing this , Cayden looked a little disappointed and said , I see . ‘

On Friday morning , when Celeste had just come back from her morning run , Martha called to invite her to dinner .

They hadn’t seen each other for quite a while . So , Celeste had no reason to decline .
She was about to respond when Martha added , “ I’ll invite Trevor and Jo too . Cel , do you mind ? ”
Celeste’s heart stayed calm as she answered , “ I don’t mind And she truly meant it .
Setting work aside , simply because of Jordyn , it would be almost impossible for her and Trevor to have no future interaction at all .
Martha understood .
Celeste’s easy acceptance only showed that she had truly let go of Trevor .
She could just treat him purely as Jordyn’s father . So , sitting down for a calm , peaceful meal together was nothing . Thinking of this , Martha didn’t know whether she should feel happy or sad .
After hanging up , Celeste went to the office .
When she opened her computer , she saw an email from Cayden .
He was asking if she had ever been to Andostan and said that if she ever wanted to visit , he could act as her tour guide , showing her the natural beauty of the country .
He also offered to introduce her to some major industry leaders there , and even shared some information about the current research directions of major corporations in Andostan .
Although Cayden framed it as a casual travel invitation , it was obvious he was trying to recruit her .
Telling her about these top projects was his way of saying , “ If you come , you’ll be highly valued . ”
Celeste saw through it easily .
She replied politely , saying she had no plans to travel abroad in the near future , before closing her email app .
That evening , after work , Celeste headed to the private dining room Martha had booked .
When she arrived , Martha was already there .
Just as Celeste sat down , the door swung open again as Jordyn ran in excitedly . “ Mom ! ”
Celeste had no choice but to reach out and catch the little girl as she threw herself into her arms .
Accompanying Jordyn was Hannah , but Trevor was nowhere to be seen .
Jordyn sat down next to Celeste , and as they were picking out dishes together , Martha said , “ I called Trevor this morning . He said he didn’t have time and wouldn’t be coming .
“ Hmph ! We’ll just eat without him . It’s not like we’re desperate for him to join us anyway . ”

Celeste smiled lightly and responded with a soft hum .
