Chapter 741
No one was particularly interested in Wynn’s situation. So, the conversation quickly returned to Al-related matters.
Around noon, Narcissa walked over to Beck after he was done talking with a few people.
“Want to grab lunch together?”
Beck replied politely, “Sorry, I’ve made arrangements with someone to discuss some business.”
Narcissa wasn’t embarrassed by the rejection. “Alright, next time then.”
In actuality, Beck didn’t have any business discussions. He had lunch with Celeste and her team, and there were a lot of people joining them.
Celeste, Matthias, and the others boarded a flight back to Baumond that same evening after the technology conference concluded.
Beck, Narcissa, and Jorge were also returning that night. So, they ended up on the same flight.
As a result, they ran into each other on the plane.
Beck hadn’t had many opportunities to speak with Celeste over the past two days. So, seeing her now genuinely pleased him.
“What a coincidence,” he said with a smile.
Celeste nodded.
Kieran, however, wasn’t pleased at all. “Please make way.”
Just as Beck was about to say something, Jorge and Nathan arrived as well.
“Looks like everyone’s here,” Nathan remarked.
Not wanting to block the aisle, Beck merely nodded to Celeste and Matthias before going to his seat.
During the conference, Jorge had barely interacted with Celeste and Matthias. However, he still greeted Matthias now that they were face-to-face.
“Mr. Yoder.”
As for Celeste, he acted as though she didn’t exist.
Matthias curled his lips and responded with a silent nod.
Nathan’s seat happened to be next to Beck’s. So, Narcissa asked her brother to switch seats with her after finding out.
Nathan asked after looking at her for a moment, “Are you serious about him?” “I want to give it a try.”
Yes, Beck already had someone he liked. But if she never tried, how would she know she had no chance?
Nathan actually thought Beck was quite an impressive man. So, he naturally supported the idea if Narcissa wanted to pursue him.
Narcissa took her brother’s seat and greeted Beck. “What a coincidence.” Beck simply nodded.
“I heard you weren’t originally on this flight. Why did you suddenly change your schedule?”

She had looked into his itinerary before and learned that they weren’t supposed to be on the same flight. She had even deliberately switched to his fight fast night.
But at noon today, she found out that he had changed his booking that very morning.
The reason Beck changed his flight was naturally due to…
His gaze drifted discreetly toward Celeste.
Then, he replied in a calm voice, “That’s my private matter. I believe I’m not obligated to explain it to you, Ms. Lackspur.”
Narcissa assumed that he had seen

“Ms. Lackspur, I’m not in the mood to chat and would like to rest.”
Narcissa paused briefly before smiling. “Alright then. I won’t disturb you. Have a good rest.”
Meanwhile, Celeste and Matthias had been busy for two straight days.
It was already late, and both of them were exhausted. So, they reclined their seats
and went to sleep not long after boarding.
The plane landed safely three hours later.
As Celeste Matthias, Kieran, and the rest of their team wheeled their

into Beck, Jorge, and the others again.
While Celeste and Matthias were talking, they noticed Quentin and his companions walking toward Jorge.
It was only then that they learned that Quentin was now working for Jorge.
