The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

“It’s not necessary. I won’t be returning to YodaVision ever again!” Quentin declared as he walked away, not even glancing back.

Celeste held talent in high regard. She turned to Matthias, who shook his head, advising her not to rush.

Matthias recognized Quentin’s talent and was reluctant to let him go. However, he’d sensed that Quentin had feelings for Wynn from their first meeting.

Though Quentin’s feelings were a personal affair that didn’t concern Matthías, he couldn’t ignore that Quentin’s emotions for Wynn had clouded his judgment. As a result, Quentin unfairly reacted to Celeste’s arrival without justification. This behavior was simply unacceptable.

Additionally, they collaborated with the government on Cuap’s core technology and signed a confidentiality agreement. Thus, Celeste’s identity could not be exposed.

Quentin’s impulsive nature was largely influenced by his high regard for Wynn. Even if Celeste were to showcase her talents in the future, Quentin might remain unconvinced of her abilities.

He would likely believe that Wynn could outperform her. Ultimately, it was almost certain that Celeste would overshadow Quentin in the future.

If Quentin believed he had a bias toward Celeste, he risked being manipulated in the future. This could lead to his downfall and significant losses for the company.

Celeste was relieved to see that he understood the situation.

Matthias cleared his throat and said, “Even though Cel hasn’t pursued a doctorate, I assure you that her professional skills are remarkable.”

The colleagues in the office exchanged bewildered glances. They were aware that Quentin had previously recommended a friend to Matthias, but since he hadn’t provided any further details, they were left in the dark about the specifics.

In fact, a similar incident to what happened to Celeste today occurred last year when the woman was the mistress of a senior executive at the company. The woman appeared charming, confident, and articulate.

She claimed to be a graduate student at a local prestigious university with solid knowledge. Yet, in reality, she lacked knowledge and didn’t understand basic professional terms. In the end, they even doubted whether she had ever attended any university at all.

The incident happened again, and Matthias even removed his friend with an impressive resume because of Celeste. Hence, it was understandable that Quentin was angry. Everyone also felt that Matthias couldn’t separate his personal feelings from his professional decisions.

Matthias noticed everyone’s attitude but did not press further. He simply asked, “What project has Quentin been doing lately?”

Yandel Sanchez, who worked with Quentin, provided a concise overview of the project’s content.

Then, Matthias turned to Celeste. “So, can you please take over the remainder of Quentin’s work?”

Celeste agreed. “Sure.”

Afterward, she graciously addressed the others, saying, “I kindly ask for your guidance in the days to come.” The others smiled and responded courteously, but none dared to offer any guidance. At this point, all they could do was hope that Celeste would prove her competence and got rely entirely on them.

While the group remained largely unbothered, Yandel, who had previously worked with Quentin, faced difficulties.

His expression wasn’t the best, but he managed to respond to Celeste graciously, “Everything you need is here. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.”

Celeste replied, “Alright. Thank you.”

Yandel was at a loss for words. But, on the bright side, her attitude was pretty good.
