Celeste nodded and sat down on the sofa by the coffee table
Trevor then instructed , “ Have someone bring us some coffee . ”
Zeke replied , “ Already taken care of . ”
Just as he finished speaking , Naomi came in carrying coffee
When she saw Celeste , she froze for a moment . “ Ms. Rodriguez ? ”
Naomi had been the one to take over Celeste’s job after she left Fleming Group . Since then , they had basically had
no contact .
Celeste nodded with a smile , “ Long time no see . ”
“ Long time no see . ” Naomi smiled too . But given the situation , it wasn’t really appropriate for her to chat too much
She placed the coffee carefully in front of both Celeste and Trevor , and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something and turned back to report on some work matters .
After listening , Trevor said , “ Got it . I’ll have time this afternoon . Tell him to come by before three . ”
“ Okay . ”
“ Naomi answered , then smiled and nodded politely at Celeste before hurrying out .
Celeste watched her leave , slowly stirring her coffee .
As the head of the secretarial team , it was completely normal for Naomi to personally come to Trevor’s office to report work .
But back when Celeste held the same position , she had been strictly required to liaise only with Trevor’s two personal secretaries .
In the two – plus years she was team leader , the only times she was allowed into Trevor’s office were when Jacob and Zeke were overwhelmingly busy – and even then , just to deliver coffee .
As for personally reporting work to him ? Not once .
Trevor had truly kept his guard up against her .
Thinking of all that , she lifted her coffee cup and took a small sip .
When she was about to leave the company , Naomi had asked her to teach her how to brew coffee , and Celeste had taught her very carefully .
But even before swallowing , she could tell that the coffee Naomi made didn’t taste quite like how she had taught . She took another small sip – there was a difference , but it was still very good .
When she put the cup down , she saw that Trevor had also taken a sip and looked very satisfied with Naomi’s coffee .
Back when she was still so naive , Celeste had been a little smug about the fact that Trevor only liked the coffee she
made .
But now …
It was just coffee . Lose one flavor , find another . It wasn’t anything important at all .

Thinking back , she couldn’t help but feel that her past self had been both foolish and laughable .
While she was lost in thought , Trevor spoke , “ Did Mr. Yoder tell you where we left off last time ? ”
“Yes . ” Celeste pulled her mind back to the present and replied seriously , “ We can just pick up where you left off . ”
“ Good . ” Trevor nodded .
“ Regarding the mixed – precision computing architecture we discussed last time , specifically the issue of reaching a certain parameter scale , I think the solution you proposed is excellent . I have some ideas myself and would like to go over them with you . ”
“ Sure , ” Celestè said .
She then began discussing in detail the improvements in inference speed achieved by their latest technology .
The conversation involved many critical technical points . These were all confidential matters tied to their collaboration .
The technical jargon was so deep and specialized that Jacob and Zeke couldn’t really understand any of it . They could only sit silently to the side , listening without comprehending .
Meanwhile , Trevor and Celeste were engaging in a smooth , dynamic back – and – forth .
And as the conversation went on , Jacob noticed that Trevor’s gaze toward Celeste had changed – there was not only surprise but also genuine appreciation .
It was a look that had never appeared on his face when he looked at Celeste before .
Moreover , Trevor wasn’t just focused – there was even a faint smile on his lips , as if he was thoroughly enjoying this discussion with her .
Seeing this , Jacob was stunned .
Zeke noticed too , and was equally astonished .
After more than an hour of discussion and idea exchange , Rodney and Bryson arrived .
Celeste had already met Rodney once before .
As for Bryson , she had been introduced to him by Matthias at a banquet last year after she officially returned to work at YodaVision .
At that time , Bryson had already known that Celeste was a student of Zachary .
Later , at a tech exhibition , they chatted at length .
Bryson was very aware of Celeste’s professional capabilities . He had also recently read her paper published in the academic journal .
Now , seeing her again , he greeted her warmly , “ Cel , long time no see . ”
“ Long time no see , Professor Leonard . ”
Celeste shook hands with them , then they all sat down and got straight to business .
Another hour passed , and just when they were deep in conversation , the door suddenly opened .
It was Wynn .
Seeing her , Celeste’s expression didn’t change at all .

Noticing the room full of people , Wynn stopped at the door and said , “ Sorry , I didn’t know you were having a meeting . I thought no one was in here , so I didn’t knock … ”
Both Bryson and Rodney knew about Wynn’s relationship with Trevor .
As his girlfriend , it was natural that she was used to coming and going from his office without knocking .
So , they just smiled casually , not minding it at all .
Before they could say anything , Wynn quickly said , “ Please go ahead and continue . I won’t disturb you . ” At this point , most of the work – related topics had already been finalized .
Therefore , Rodney smiled and said , “ It’s alright , we’re just chatting anyway . ”
