Henry’s face was full of smiles as he immediately greeted Wynn. “Ms. Locket.”
Wynn smiled and nodded before turning to both him and Matthias. “Trevor is treating my team to a meal. Would Mr. Yoder and Mr. Quinn like to join us?”
She deliberately ignored Celeste.
Henry naturally wanted to agree, but he nced at Matthias and Celeste first.
Matthias immediately declined<b>, </b>“Ms. Locket, we appreciate the invitation, but we already have ns.”
Wynn frowned. “Mr. Yoder…” She didn’t expect that despite her repeated efforts, Matthias still showed no sign of wavering.
She nced at Celeste, who was sitting nearby, sipping water.
Celeste noticed her gaze and coldly returned it.
Then, Wynn looked away.
Aside from being pretty, what did Celeste have that made Matthias so determined to stand by her? Was she as outstanding or as dazzling as herself?
Since Matthias refused, Wynn simply smiled, maintaining her polite demeanor. “Alright, next <b>time </b>then.” With that, she didn’t spare Celeste or Henry another nce before turning and <b>leaving </b>
Henry felt <b>like </b>he had just beenpletely ignored. “Ms. Locket can be quite arrogant sometimes.”
Sure, Wynn had the right to be proud. But even <b>Trevor</b>, the real boss of InnovaTech, was always polite and courteous whenever he met with employees.
Matthias shrugged. “I noticed.”
Wynn carried herself like she already owned InnovaTech. But even without Trevor backing her up, she was still quite full of herself, probably because she believed in her own value.
Not long after, Trevor, presumably after <b>hearing </b>from Wyn that Matthias had <b>declined</b>, came over.
He shook hands with Matthias in a courteous manner and said, “We’ll be heading out now. Mr. Yoder, I hope you’ll join us next time.”
Matthias hesitated for a moment. “…Of course<b>.</b>”
Trevor smiled, nced at Celeste briefly, then turned and left with Wynn and her team, who were waiting at the
entrance<b>. </b>
After lunch, Celeste and Matthias returned to InnovaTech.
Wynn and her team didn’te back until some timeter
At around 6:00 pm, Celeste and Matthias finished their work and were ready to leave. There was still plenty to handle, but they had time over the next few days to take care of it. There was no rush.
Wynn and her team, however, seemed to still be busy, showing no signs of wrapping up.
Henrymented, “I heard they’re nning to work <b>overtine </b>tonight.”
Matthias replied, “Oh.”
Celeste said, “Let’s go<b>.</b>”
Matthias chuckled. “Let me treat you to dinner.”
Celeste shook her head. “It’s okay, I have other ns.”
Martha <b>had </b>told her to return to the Fleming Manor for dinner.
When she arrived, Trevor and Jordyn were <b>already </b>home.
she didn’t expect Trevor to be <b>back</b>. She had thought he would stay at thepany with Wynn.
When Trevor saw here <b>in</b>, he gave her a brief nce before continuing his work on hisptop.
During dinner, Trevor sat down beside Celeste. Noticing that he <b>was </b>busy on his phone, she suddenly said, “Do you have timeter? <b>I </b><b>have </b>something to discuss with you.”
