The others had already moved on to another topic by then.
Only then did Wynn open the video of Fleming Group''s press
conference and start watching it.
At the beginning, aside from the host and those on stage, the
camera also panned across the audience and media below.
Wynn immediately spotted Trevor.
She had known he would be attending the conference, but when
she saw that he was sitting among the audience rather than on
stage, she paused. 1
The camera only swept briefly past Trevor, yet with just one
nce, she could tell he looked to be in a very good mood. 3
Perhaps it was just her imagination, but she couldn''t shake the
feeling that when he looked toward the stage, his eyes were
fixed on Celeste. 7
Her fingers tightened slightly around the mouse in her hand. +
After the host finished speaking, the camera quickly shifted to
the press conference''s main focus—Celeste and her team.
Linda had said this press conference felt like Celeste''s show,
and now that Wynn was watching, she realized it was true. +
Celeste was the absolute center of attention. She faced every
technical question from the reporters with calm ease and total
confidence.
As much as she hated to admit it, Wynn couldn''t deny that with
her striking looks, Celeste was captivating. 2
Wynn was watching the conference with the livements
turned on.
The screen was flooded with messages praising Celeste''s looks
and talent, people wondering who she was.
"Wait, thisdy is the key figure behind Fleming Group''s big
breakthrough? Damn, she''s gorgeous and brilliant! She''d be a
star even in the entertainment industry. That''s totally unfair!"
"Right? Does anyone know her background? She''s so young, yet
she''s leading a major project in apany like YodaVision. She
must have some serious backing, right?"
There were countlessments like that
Someone replied in thements section.
"I''m not sure about her background, but I know she skipped
three grades and got into Aurelia University early. She graduated
at 18, top of her major all the way through. 1
"We all thought it was a pity she didn''t go to grad school, but
seeing her now, still so outstanding, makes me really happy for
"What the-18 years old and graduated from Aurelia University?
That''s insane! No wonder she’s so young yet leading projects at
Fleming Group and YodaVision!" +
"I heard she''s also dating Mr. Yoder. She published a paper
recently that caused a stir internationally, making those big
foreign tech figures try to recruit her to theirpanies. But
she''s Mr. Yoder''s girlfriend, so of course they didn''t seed,
"Beautiful, brilliant, and dating someone equally amazing—she''s
literally living the dream! She''s the boss!"
Wynn kept watching for a long time.
By now, the press conference was nearing its end.
When it wrapped up, the camera once againnded on Trevor in
the audience.
He still had that faint smile on his face. 1
It was only then did Wynn realize something.
Even though Trevor had attended the event, the host hadn''t
mentioned him at all. 1
It meant that there had been no real reason for him to be there. 1
It was something he could have easily skipped.
So, why was he there? 5
Was it because he valued the project so much? Because he was
pleased with Fleming Group''s breakthrough?
Maybe both. Or maybe...
Maybe he had gone just to see Celeste. 7
The thought made Wynn''s chest tighten abruptly.
Just then, her phone buzzed with anew message. 2
It was from Trevor. "Miles asked if we wanted to have dinner
together. Are you freeter?" 2
Wynn looked at the message, then at Trevor''s smiling face on
the video. 1
After a long pause, she replied, "I''m free." 1<style>
