Bryson , unaware of the grudge between Celeste and Wynn , followed up on Rodney’s words and said , “ Yes , we were just discussing some new developments in the industry .
“ Ms. Locket also studied Al – more minds mean more ideas It would be great if Ms. Locket joined the discussion . ”
Wynn responded , “ Oh , I see … ”
As she spoke , she glanced over at Col
After finishing the serious work discussions , Celeste had planned to leave . But unable to resist Rodney and Bryson’s enthusiasm , she stayed and chatted with them for while longer .
Now with Wynn’s arrival , she finally had an excuse to excuse herself .
She stood up and said , “ It’s getting late , and I have something I need to attend to . Mr. Fleming , Professor Leonard , Professor Milford , let’s chat again next time . ”
Besides Celeste’s recently published paper , a few other companies in the AI field had also made significant technical breakthroughs lately .
When they were chatting earlier , Celeste had quickly grasped the core of those breakthroughs .
It had been a very lively and insightful conversation – Bryson and Rodney both had hoped to talk with her even longer .
Now seeing her about to leave , they genuinely felt reluctant
Bryson quickly said , “ Leaving already ? I was just about to discuss some issues regarding engine integration with you . ”
Although they were all collaborating with Fleming Group now , the work discussions had pretty much wrapped up . Opportunities to sit down and talk deeply about technology like this were likely to become rare in the future . So , Rodney also hurried to add , “ Yeah , why not stay a little longer ? ”
Celeste smiled and said , “ I really do have something to take care of . Maybe next time . ”
Since Celeste insisted , no matter how disappointed they felt , Rodney and Bryson couldn’t push her further .
After bidding goodbye to them , Celeste turned to Trevor , reached out to shake his hand , and said , “ Mr. Fleming , see you next time . ”
It wasn’t just Rodney and Bryson who had enjoyed talking with Celeste .
Even Jacob and Zeke could tell that Trevor had been quite happy during the discussion .
Seeing Celeste about to leave , they thought Trevor might be unable to resist asking her to stay a bit longer .
However , Trevor said nothing . 2
He merely shook Celeste’s hand politely and replied , “ See you next time . ”
Then he instructed Zeke , “ See Ms. Rodriguez out for me . ”
Seeing Wynn standing nearby , Zeke suddenly understood why Trevor hadn’t tried to keep Celeste there .
If Wynn weren’t there , judging by Trevor’s professional admiration for Celeste earlier , he might really have asked

her to stay longer .
But now that Wynn was there , compared to his appreciation for Celeste , Trevor probably cared more about Wynn’s feelings .

After all , considering his past with Celeste , if he tried to keep her now , Wynn would undoubtedly overthink it .
Realizing this , Zeke came back to himself and politely said to Celeste , “ Ms. Rodriguez , this way please . ”
Celeste nodded , didn’t spare Trevor or Wynn another glance , and left the office along with Zeke and Candice .
Wynn watched Celeste’s departing figure .
Thinking back to how eager Rodney and Bryson had been to keep talking with Celeste , she smiled faintly and asked , “ What were you chatting about ? ”
Rodney was the first to speak , sighing , “ Ms. Rodriguez has an incredibly broad and innovative knowledge base in the AI field . She’s a truly rare all – around Al talent – very impressive . 2
“ Just chatting with her opened up my thinking so much . That’s why Bryson and I both wanted to talk to her more . It’s really a pity … ”
The more he spoke , the more regretful Rodney became . He couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh .
Wynn didn’t expect that .
The smile on her face noticeably faded a little . However , she kept her expression in check and simply said , “ I see . ”
Just as she finished speaking , Bryson chuckled and said , “ Cel really is a genius in AI . She’s not only brilliant but also beautiful . Matthias is one lucky guy . ”
A genius in AI ? Celeste ?
And Matthias was lucky to have her ?
Bryson’s words practically placed Celeste on a pedestal .
Although Wynn didn’t know exactly how Celeste had managed to impress both Rodney and Bryson without slipping up , seeing how much they liked her , she couldn’t help but think of Rowan and Theodore .
They too had really liked Celeste .
Just a single paper had won her so much favor from so many major figures .
Wynn had to admit , Celeste’s skills were indeed impressive .
But still , without real substance , there would come a day when the truth would be exposed .
No matter how much Celeste had now , it was all just an illusion , not something she could truly rely on .
Thinking about this , Wynn lowered her head and smiled faintly without saying anything further .
