What a pity. Celeste was beautiful on the outside but rotten <b>within</b>. <b>Thinking </b>this, Miles suddenly lost interest and looked away, 2
Jorge had also been momentarily dazzled by Celeste’s beauty. However<b>, </b>his thoughts were simr to Miles‘.
That was why he almost immediately turned his face away in disgust.
Xavier, on the other hand, quite liked Celeste’s type. He wasn’t in <b>a </b>hurry to look away, but noticing Jorge’s reaction, he asked, “What’s up with <b>you</b>? That reaction.. Did <b>she </b>offend you again?”
Caleb also withdrew his gaze.
Jorge then recounted in full detail what had happened at YodaVision a couple of days ago.
Xaviermented, “Huh… Never would’ve thought that Ms Rodriguez was that kind of person.”
Caleb, pausing as he sipped his drink, <b>responded</b>, “Maybe there was <b>already </b>an unresolved grudge between her and Ms. Locket that <b>we </b>don’t know about.”
Jorge dismissed the thought. “Even if there’s a grudge, does that mean she gets to abuse her position for personal revenge?
Without knowing the full story, Caleb <b>refrained </b>from making further judgments.
Meanwhile, Celeste and Matthias, who had just arrived at the banquet hall, were immediately surrounded by the crowd.
Everyone was eager to tter Matthias,
Matthias replied, “You give me too much credit. YodaVisions sess today is the result of our entirepany’s efforts.”
At that, he turned to look at Celeste and added, “Especially cel–her contributions have been invaluable.
From the CUAP project to thetest initiatives, the core technology was all in her hands.
Of course, her identity still couldn’t be revealed. In fact, even the key personnel from theirpany involved in the project had signed confidentiality agreements with the government.
While he couldn’t expose her identity, he could at <b>least </b><b>make </b>sure people recognized her significance.
Lately, with so much attention on YodaVision, many knew that Celeste was not only an employee there but also had a close rtionship with Matthias.
Some even knew that Matthias would entrust her with handlingpany affairs in his absence.
Hearing him say this now, most instinctively believed that Celeste must be quite capable at work.
But as for his im that “YodaVision wouldn’t be where it is today without her,” no one took that too seriously. After all, they had heard <b>that </b>Celeste had only joined YodaVision two to three months ago.
Matthias was probably just deeply in love, not wanting anyone to look down on her.
Given Celeste’s undeniable beauty and the fact that Matthias was currently riding high in his career, it was no surprise he’d be utterly enchanted by her.
Though people thought this privately, they kept their expressionsposed, smiling as theyplimented her, Ms. Rodriguez truly embodies both talent and beauty.”
Chapter 17:
On the other side, Wynn overheard this and let out a mocking; chuckle.
She nced at Trevor, only to see that after looking over in Celeste’s direction for a brief moment, he lost interest and looked away.
Seeing this, Wynn also <b>withdrew </b>her gaze indifferently, but just then, she noticed Beck staring intently in that direction.
No–he was probably looking at Matthias, not Celeste.
Wynn Inew that Beck was interested in coborating with YodaVision.
As for Celeste, Beck had always despised her. There was no <b>way </b>he’d be watching her. No matter how beautiful. Celeste <b>was</b><b>, </b>Beck would never be interested in her.
Noticing Wynn looking at him, Beck turned his gaze away and asked, “What’s <b>wrong</b>?
Wynn smiled. “Nothing.”
“I’m
Beck didn’t press the matter. Seeing that the crowd around Matthias and Celeste had thinned a bit, he said, going over to greet Matthias. Trevor, have you decided whether to coborate with YodaVision? If so, why don’t <b>we </b>go over together?”
