Chapter : 564
“Thanks for your hard work.” Maybe realizing she wasn’t in the mood to talk, Trevor said nothing more after that and left with Wynn. They had dinner plans. After the meal, Trevor still had business matters to discuss, while Wynn also had things to deal with at her company. Coincidentally, the Lockets and the Shaws were also dining nearby, so she went to meet them. When Ruby saw Wynn, she couldn’t help saying, “You seem to be in a much better mood lately.” Of course, Ruby wasn’t the only one who’d noticed. Lilian and Erin had seen it too.
Linda smiled and chimed in, “Of course! You know how Trev’s been too busy with work these past few weeks that Wynn could barely see him at all. Now that he’s not as busy and they can see each other every day again, how could she not be in a good mood?” In fact, the rest of the Lockets and the Shaws all thought the same about why Wynn had been unhappy before. —- As for the real reason, only she herself knew it best. But that was all in the past now Wynn thought about it, but didn’t say anything.
1 Seeing her calm and confident as she got into the car, the Lockets and the Shaws didn’t comment further. They just smiled and followed her in. Celeste, on the other hand, knew nothing about what was going on between Trevor and Wynn. Over the next two days, she reported to Fleming Group on time as usual for work. During those two days, she didn’t run into Trevor or Wynn again. On the afternoon of the third day, the target they’d set earlier finally achieved a breakthrough, and it was one that even exceeded expectations.
The moment the results came out, shouts of excitement erupted from Fleming Group’s R&D department. When Trevor got the news, he paused. “Oh? Really?” 2 He immediately opened the compiled report and started reading. —- He read very carefully, and before long, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. There was a distinct ease and delight about him. Jacob, watching from the side, was momentarily stunned To be fair, Trevor wasn’t a difficult boss to work with. He wasn’t exactly a cold person either. If anything, the only person he’d ever been truly cold toward was Celeste.
He’d always treated his subordinates decently. And toward Wynn, there was always a gentle smile on his face. But the satisfaction and lightheartedness he was showing no\ Jacob had worked beside him for years, yet he’d never seen him look like this before. While Jacob was still dazed, Trevor’s phone, sitting on the desk, suddenly rang. Glancing down, Jacob saw that it was a call from Wynn. + But Trevor was still staring intently at the computer screen, seemingly unaware that his phone was ringing at all. Jacob knew well just how deeply interested Trevor was in the Al —- field.
And judging from how astonishing the results of Celeste’s team were, there must have been plenty in there that caught his attention. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this engrossed. The phone kept ringing for several seconds. Seeing that Trevor still didn’t react, Jacob cleared his throat softly, finally unable to hold back. “Mr. Fleming, your phone’s ringing-it’s Ms. Locket calling.” “Mm.” Trevor probably hadn’t even heard him clearly. He responded absently, but his gaze didn’t move from the screen at all.
Jacob hesitated, watching him so focused, then, seeing the phone still ringing, couldn’t help speaking again, “Mr. Fleming-“
