“Ms. Locket is calling."
This time, Trevor seemed to hear him. He hummed again as a
response before ncing toward his phone just as Wynn hung
Picking up his phone, Trevor said to Jacob, “You can go now.”
"Yes, sir.”
And then Jacob left.
To showcase their technological achievement and expand the
project''s domestic and international influence, Fleming Group
immediately spread news of the breakthrough between the
Fleming Group and YodaVision that very afternoon.
A press conference was quickly scheduled.
When Trevor heard the update, he said, "Adjust my schedule.”
Jacob paused before realizing what Trevor meant. "You''re
nning to attend the press conference?”
Trevor already had a major appointment arranged in the
morning for two dayster. He must''ve realized that. Otherwise,
he wouldn''t have told Jacob to make adjustments.
Still, Jacob hesitated. "That day, you''re meeting Mr. Lytton. He''s
won''t it be—"
Trevor didn''t reply. He just gave him a look. 2
That look was enough as Jacob immediately understood that
Trevor knew exactly how important that meeting with Hugh
Lytton was, but had decided to prioritize the press conference
Since the decision was made, Jacob could only say, “Alright. I''ll
contact Mr. Lytton''s team to reschedule.” 1
The coboration project with YodaVision was indeed
significant, but with other senior staff attending the press
conference, there was really no need for Trevor to go personally.
Thinking of that, Jacob added, "The PR department probably
isn''t aware that you''re attending either. I''ll inform them—"
"Mm. No need to make a big deal out of it," Trevor interrupted
calmly. "I won''t go on stage. Just arrange a seat for me in the
audience."
Not going on stage?
Jacob froze for a second. If he wasn''t speaking, then why attend
But since Trevor said so, Jacob didn''t question further and
followed his instructions. 1
News of the Fleming Group-YodaVision breakthrough spread
quickly online.
Industry insiders heard about it immediately. Wynn was among
After reading the article and scrolling through thements full
of praise for Fleming Group and YodaVision for "breaking
through foreign barriers and bringing glory to the country," she
silently closed the page.
The day of the press conference came quickly.
The venue was packed with reporters from around the world.
It was a win-win partnership for both Fleming Group and
YodaVision, so Celeste and the head of Fleming Group''s R&D
department were naturally required to attend.
When it was about time, she and Lazarus went up to the stage
and took their seats at the table ording to the nametes.
As soon as she sat down, she spotted Trevor in the audience.
She hadn''t been looking for him specifically. It was just that he
happened to be seated directly below her, making him hard to
Perhaps noticing her gaze, Trevor looked up and smiled faintly
Celeste froze for a moment, then quickly looked away as if she
hadn''t seen him. 5
After greeting Trevor, Lazarus sat down beside her and leaned
over slightly. "I heard Mr. Fleming was so pleased with our
results that he personally made time to attend this press
conference." 1
Celeste nodded slightly, saying nothing.<style>
