As soon as she finished speaking , before Caleb could responkl , Celeste’s communicator rang .
Seeing the message on the device , she quickly said , “ Something urgent came up at the data center , I have to go , ” and hurried off .
The next morning , Celeste left the military base .
After taking a day off to rest at home , she returned to work at YodaVision .
YodaVision had officially begun its collaboration with Fleming Tech . The day she returned to YodaVision , Matthias happened to be heading there for a meeting .
Previously , when negotiating the contract with Trevor , she could step aside and let Matthias or Joseph handle the discussions .
But this new project between YodaVision and Fleming Tech required her direct involvement to move forward .
This meeting was to discuss core technology cooperation between the two companies . So , after returning to YodaVision , Celeste accompanied Matthias to the Fleming Group .
Along with them were Kieran and other technical staff .
Just as they reached the meeting room entrance , Trevor , his two assistants , and Zeke were approaching from the other direction .
Trevor greeted Matthias politely .
Since Celeste had left Fleming Group , Zeke had barely seen her . However , Jacob had mentioned that she was now working at YodaVision .
Matthias had already been to Fleming Group two or three times recently , but Celeste hadn’t come along on those visits .
So , they had assumed she wouldn’t be showing up at Fleming Group again – yet here she was .
Naturally , Trevor also noticed Celeste and Kieran .
But whether it was toward Celeste or Kieran , he acted as though he didn’t know them – just glanced over and then looked away , walking into the meeting room with Matthias .
Kieran had no interest in letting others know he was acquainted with Trevor either . So , Trevor’s distant demeanor suited him perfectly .
Celeste and Zeke had gotten along fairly well in the past .
Seeing him again after so long , she gave a small nod and greeted him , “ Mr. Jackson , long time no se
“ Long time no see . ”
Kieran noticed and asked , “ You two know each other ? ”
“ I used to work here , ” Celeste replied .
Kieran didn’t know about her relationship with Trevor .
Hearing that , he just assumed she had just been a regular engineer at Fleming Group and didn’t think much of it .

Besides , they had work to do , so it wasn’t the right time to chat . So , he didn’t press the matter .
As soon as Celeste and Kieran sat down , someone else walked in .
It was Rodney Miller , a professor from Yardley University . He was also involved in the Fleming Group’s project .
“ Apologies for keeping everyone waiting . ”
“ We just arrived too . ”
At this point , Rodney turned his gaze to Matthias .
Just being known as Zachary’s student was already enough to attract attention . And lately , Matthias had been making waves in the AI field – so much so that anyone working in AI would definitely know who he was .
Seeing him , Rodney smiled and said , “ You must be Mr. Yoder . You’re truly an outstanding young talent . I’ve been wanting to meet you , but we kept missing each other . I’m glad to finally meet you today . ”
Matthias replied , “ You flatter me , Professor Milford . ”
After a bit of polite small talk , the meeting formally began .
Celeste focused entirely on the discussions .
When the meeting touched on core collaboration content and technical aspects , the conversation was led by Matthias , Fleming Group’s technical leads , and Rodney .
Celeste , Kieran , and the others sat off to the side , taking notes silently .
The meeting started around 9:00 am and lasted until nearly noon .
After the meeting ended , Trevor treated everyone to lunch .
As they exited the meeting room , Rodney turned to Trevor and said , “ Speaking of which , it’s been a while since I last saw Wynn . I heard she’s staying in Baumond now , so there might be even fewer chances to meet in the future .
“ I’d like to invite her to join us – would that be okay with you and Mr. Yoder ? ”
Hearing that Rodney was from Yardley University , Matthias already guessed he might know Wynn . He responded with a faint smile , “ I don’t mind . ”
Trevor asked , “ You two know each other ? ”
“ I mentored her during university , ” Rodney said with a smile .
“ Even back then , she showed impressive talent in this field . Now that she’s become Professor Sweeney’s student , it’s clear she’s lived up to expectations . ”
Trevor then said , “ I’ll get in touch with her . ”
Half an hour later , when Celeste , Trevor , and Matthias arrived at the restaurant , Wynn , Linda , and the others were just getting out of the car .
Seeing Rodney , Wynn quickly approached and greeted him , “ Professor , long time no see . ”
After exchanging greetings , Rodney looked at Matthias and smiled , “ Mr. Yoder , you and Wynn must already know each other ? ”
Matthias glanced at Wynn and said , “ Yes , we’ve met . ”

Rodney smiled again . “ You’re both rising stars in the field . You should definitely exchange ideas more often . ”
Wynn had noticed the look Matthias had just given her .
She frowned slightly .
She had thought that , now that he knew she was Cayden’s student , he would look at her differently – with more respect .
After all , if they talked about their field , she and Matthias would have plenty of common ground . But that look he gave her just now was no different from how he used to look at her . ( 1 )
