Chapter 472
After wrapping up their work , Celeste noticed that Kieran hadn’t let but was instead looking thoughtfully at Beck . Not knowing if the two of them had any private dealings , she asked , “ What is it ?
Previously , Kieran had seen that Beck liked Céleste but hadn’t pursed her , so he assumed he might no longer be interested .
But judging from today’s interaction , it was clear that Beck still liked Celeste very much and had no intention of giving up on her .
Kieran quickly realized that Beck likely already knew Celeste was divorced yet and possibly even knew who her husband
was .
With that thought , Kieran had initially considered trying to probe Beck for some information about Celeste’s husband .
But recalling the way Beck had looked at him just now , Kieran felt that even if he did know who her husband was , there was no way he’d kindly share that information .
Besides , if he were to ask , he’d also be admitting that he didn’t know enough about Celeste himself …
It wasn’t worth the risk , and Kieran wasn’t someone to act on impulse .
Having come to that conclusion , Kieran withdrew his gaze and smiled lightly as he said to Celeste , “ It’s nothing . I’ve got something to do , so I’ll be heading off now . ”
Celeste replied , “ Alright . ”
Beck had noticed Kieran’s gaze but wasn’t a mind reader – he didn’t know exactly what Kieran was thinking .
Still , from Kieran’s cold , intense look , he could tell that Kieran was determined to win Celeste over .
After Kieran left , Beck chuckled and said , “ That was the son of the Gibson family , right ? I’d heard he was the spoiled and reckless type, but after interacting with him a few times , he actually seems pretty serious about work . ” 1
Celeste thought he was just making casual conversation , so she responded , “ He does take his work seriously . He’s never complained about pulling all – nighters when needed , and he’s never been late or left early . More importantly , he’s quite talented . Overall , he’s pretty good . ”
After learning about Kieran’s background , Celeste had also assumed he came to YodaVision on a whim .
The fact that he’d stayed on this long had surprised her .
And on a daily basis , she found working with Kieran comfortable very different from the impression he gave the first time they met .
Though Beck seemed to be praising Kieran , he was actually probing Celeste’s attitude toward him . Hearing her positive comments about Kieran , Beck smiled without saying anything .
He’d heard that Kieran had come back to the country because he admired YodaVision’s programming language and joined the company because of it . 1
Which meant – he’d also returned for Celeste .
From the way Kieran looked at Celeste while they discussed work earlier , Beck could tell that Kieran deeply admired her professionally .
In fact , he looked up to her .
If his guess was correct , Kieran probably still didn’t know that Celeste was the developer behind YodaVision’s programming language . 1
And even under those circumstances , Celeste had already won him over purely with her own ability .
If Kieran ever found out that Celeste was the very person he had long been searching for , wouldn’t he be even more …

Based on Celeste’s response just now , it was clear that she had a good impression of Kieran .
In that light , Kieran staying at YodaVision really did seem to be an effective way to win her over .
Especially with her divorce from Trevor soon to be finalized – well there’s a saying , “ Proximity has its privileges . ”
After they finished talking business , Beck invited Celeste to dinner
She agreed .
As they left the meeting room to go out for dinner , they happened to see Kieran leaning casually against the doorway .
Seeing Celeste and Beck leaving together didn’t surprise him at all .
It was as if he had already predicted that Beck would use work as an excuse to invite Celeste to dinner .
And the fact that he was there seemed like he had been waiting for just that . 2
