The pastries Matthias wanted were right over there .
Just as Matthias and Celeste were about to head there , someone called them over to talk business .
On the other side , after greeting Wynn , Caleb turned to Beck and Miles . “ Hello , Mr. Harper , Mr. Quinton . ”
Beck nodded .
Just then , Trevor wrapped up his calls and made his way over .
Miles recalled how Caleb and Celeste had spent quite a while on the dance floor . He rubbed his nose and let out a quict cough .
After all , regardless of everything , Celeste was still Trevor’s wife .
Beck’s expression darkened a little as well .
Trevor , however , appeared completely unfazed .
He took the initiative to greet Caleb when he saw him . “ Hello , Mr. Jennings . ”
Caleb nodded . “ Hello , Mr. Fleming ‘
Trevor tapped his glass against his , took a sip , and said , “ It’s been a while , huh ? ”
Caleb gripped his glass lightly . “ Yeah , it has been . ”
Miles was at a loss for words ,
Well , that was a pointless concern .
The group of people then started chatting among themselves .
Celeste and Matthias were tied up in conversation for a good while .
They didn’t run into Trevor and the others again for the night .
As it was getting late , they greeted the host before quietly slipping away .
On Monday morning , just as Matthias arrived at the office , he was told that Ethan Yates from Fleming Group was already downstairs , hoping to discuss a collaboration .
Wynn had arrived alongside Ethan .
Matthias was at a loss for words .
Had it been Trevor personally seeking a meeting , he wouldn’t have bothered meeting him .
But he had a solid rapport with Ethan .
With Trevor sending him over , turning him down wasn’t exactly an option .
He had to admit that Trevor really knew how to pull the right strings .
Besides , Ethan had brought Wynn along
Matthias’s temples ached with an oncoming headache .
He bit back his frustration as he went to Celeste and filled her in
Chapter 185
Celeste said , “ Seeing Wynn isn’t that big of a deal , though .
Meeting her didn’t necessarily mean a deal was on the table , anyway .
“ You’re right , ” Matthias replied . Seconds later , he asked, “ Do you want to come along ?”
“ Sure . ”
After letting Wynn and Ethan wait in the meeting room for a while , Celeste and Matthlas finally made their way
over .
As Matthias stepped through the door , Ethan and Wynn rose in unison to greet him .
Wynn’s expression flickered when she saw Celeste walk in with him , but she didn’t dwell on it . After Ethan exchanged greetings with Matthias , she followed suit . “ Hello , Mr. Yoder . ”
Matthias nodded . “ Please , have a seat , Ms. Locket , ”
Celeste’s outstanding appearance , coupled with her years at Fleming Group , made her quite memorable to Ethan .
Before he took his seat , he blurted out , “ It’s you , Ms. Rodriguez ! ”
Ethan smiled . “ I was wondering why I hadn’t seen you in a while . So , you quit and came to YodaVision . ”
Back when Celeste was still working at Fleming Group , they did have the occasional work interaction .
She replied with a beam , “ Yes , I’ve been working here for some time now . ”
“ That’s good to hear . ”
After the pleasantries , they moved on to the main topic .
When Ethan handed his proposal to Matthias , Wynn did the same .
Matthias took the proposals in hand and passed one of them to Celeste . “ Cel , you can look at Ms. Locket’s proposal . What do you say ? ”
“ okay . ”
Wynn stilled for a brief moment , but she didn’t utter a word
Celeste started to flip through the proposal
Though she couldn’t read ten lines in a single glance , her speed was above average .
It only took her a few minutes to finish reading Wynn’s proposal .
Then , she handed the proposal back to Wynn . Staring into Wynn’s eyes , she said , “ I can see that you put in a lot of effort , Ms. Locket . Still , there are quite a few issues . Compared to other companies seeking to collaborate with YodaVision , your proposal isn’t in a favorable position . ”
