Chapter 438
After the launch event , Celeste and Matthias returned to YodaVision for a meeting in the afternoon .
In the conference room , the engineers of YodaVision immediately cheered excitedly when they saw Celeste .
They had already heard about what happened at the Velotra launch event .
Among the team , they were the ones who had the most direct work interactions with Celeste . So , they had already known she was impressive .
But after watching the launch event , they realized she was even more remarkable than they had imagined .
Seeing everyone congratulating her , Celeste smiled and said, “ Thank you , everyone . ”
The room stayed lively for another two to three minutes before they officially began the meeting .
In the conference room , Kieran silently watched Celeste .
During this period , he had tried several times to ask her out , but since she’d been busy , they had never managed to meet .
He had been planning to find another opportunity in the next few days , but now …
As he often found excuses to approach Celeste and ask her technical questions , he thought he already had a solid grasp of her capabilities .
But just like the other engineers at YodaVision , it wasn’t until today that he realized Celeste was far more brilliant than he’d thought .
For someone as exceptional and dazzling as Celeste – was he truly worthy of her as he was now ? 1
Especially when , despite all their recent interactions , it was clear she had never seen him in that way .
Thinking this , Kieran slowly withdrew his gaze .
After the meeting , Celeste walked out of the conference room and was about to head back to her office when Kieran caught up to her to congratulate her privately . “ I watched the Velotra launch . Congratulations . ”
Celeste smiled and answered , “ Thank you . ”
Because she’d been so busy with the Velotra project lately , she had fallen behind on YodaVision’s affairs , so she was in a bit of a
rush .
After briefly responding to Kieran , she hurried off .
Kieran didn’t follow her .
However, it was not because he had given up . But because he suddenly realized he needed time . He needed to grow , to become stronger , in order to-
Watching Celeste’s figure disappear into the distance , Kieran’s expression became more determined .
He suddenly felt that , regardless of how this all started , returning to the country this time – even if by accident – had been the right decision .
Once Celeste was completely out of sight , he returned to his workstation and threw himself into his work with full focus and
energy .
The next morning , Wynn was reviewing documents in her office when her secretary suddenly knocked and entered the room .
She set down the file and asked , “ Has Mr. Gibbs arrived ? ”

They had had dinner the night before , and Leroy had mentioned he would be coming to InnovaTech this morning to discuss a potential partnership .
It was already past ten , so she assumed he should have arrived .
“ Un … Mr. Gibbs ‘ secretary just called and said he’s decided not to consider a partnership with InnovaTech for now, so … ”
Wynn paused , and a sudden realization flashed through her mind I understand . You may go . ”
But the secretary didn’t leave . Instead , she looked at Wynn and added , “ Just now , Mr. Watts ‘ and Mr. Simmons ‘ secretaries also called . They said they need to reconsider the partnerships they were previously discussing with us … ”
Although Wynn had anticipated that InnovaTech’s position would be negatively affected after the Velotra launch , she didn’t expect the partnerships that were already in negotiations – some nearly finalized – to be shaken this quickly .
Thinking of this , and of the two to three hundred million dollars she had just invested to accelerate the project timeline , her face darkened .
After a long pause , she finally managed to steady herself and said , Got it . You can leave now . ” 2
