There was an important meeting in the morning that Trevor would also attend ..
When Celeste and the others had been seated for more than ten minutes in the conference room , Trevor finally walked in .
The moment he appeared , Naomi gasped , and her eyes shone with admiration as she couldn’t tear her gaze away from him
When the meeting officially began , she snapped out of her daze and tugged on Celeste’s sleeve .
Mr. Fleming is really handsome ! ”
Celeste had only glanced up when Trevor entered the room . At Naomi’s comment , she merely responded without lifting her head , “ Mm . ”
Naomi was surprised by Celeste’s apparent lack of interest but quickly reminded herself that Celeste was already married and had a child .
Throughout the meeting , Naomi’s heart fluttered as she couldn’t stop staring at Trevor . She barely heard anything discussed during the meeting
Celeste , on the other hand , was diligently taking notes on her laptop .
Once the meeting , ended , Trevor left first , and the others slowly followed .
Naomi’s heart still raced for a while after Trevor’s departure . It wasn’t until Zeke came over to pick up Celeste’s notes that she finally snapped back to reality .
Zeke flipped through the notes and couldn’t help but compliment her . “ Not bad . Good work . ”
Celeste responded , “ It’s nothing . ”
After Zeke left , Naomi remembered she hadn’t been paying attention to what was said during the meeting , so she quickly asked Celeste to send her a copy of the materials .
Naomi felt a headache coming on as she looked at them . “ Ms. Rodriguez , did you study architecture ? ”
Celeste shook her head . “ No. ”
“ Then how do you know so many of the industry’s terms ? ”
“ I found some books on my own and learned a bit , but it’s only surface – level . ”
The projects Fleming Group invested in were diverse , and to do this job well , Celeste had spent years studying various industries .
“ Really ? Have you looked into medical books as well ? ”
Yes . ”
Naomi was taken aback

After two days of working with her , Naomi realized that Celeste’s ability to become the head of the secretarial team at such a young age was due to her genuine competence .
“ Which books have you read ? Can you send me a list ? I’d like to check them out when I have time . ”
“ Sure , I’ll send it to you later . ”

By noon , Celeste filtered through some of the books that Naomi might find useful and easier to start with , then sent her a list .
Naomi stared at the lengthy list of 50 books , feeling a bit overwhelmed .
In the afternoon , around 3:00 pm , Trevor had a client meeting , and Zeke asked Celeste to make a few cups of coffee and he would bring them over himself .
Naomi was surprised to learn that Celeste was the one who made Trevor’s coffee .
But Zeke had insisted on delivering it himself instead of letting Celeste do it . Naomi thought this must be Trevor’s way of preventing his subordinates from getting too close to him .
Naomi tentatively asked , “ Have you never personally delivered coffee to Mr. Fleming ? ”
“ Not exactly . Sometimes , if Zeke or the others are busy , they’ll ask me to deliver it . ”
Naomi , who loved coffee but never intended to learn how to make it , had an idea . She asked eagerly , “ Ms. Rodriguez , could you teach me how to make coffee the way Mr. Fleming likes it ? ”
Even if opportunities were scarce , Naomi was determined to seize them .
Celeste saw through Naomi’s intentions but didn’t mind . She replied , “ Sure . ”
She had already given up on Trevor , so there was no harm in sharing these skills with others .
