The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor) novel Chapter 617

This round of bidding ultimately went to YodaVision.

Locket Tech failing to secure the project was more or less within the expectations of both the Lockets and the Shaws. Still, seeing so many major corporations competing, only for YodaVision to emerge victorious, left a bitter taste nonetheless.

Losing the bid was disappointing, of course. But they had other worries beyond that.

For instance, the project Locket Tech had been developing with Trevor's help had once again hit a bottleneck. Continuing R&D meant more funding, and that had once again become a problem.

Not just Locket Tech, but InnovaTech was also facing the same situation.

If cash flow couldn't keep up, all the projects currently in progress would be affected.

But right now, they simply didn't have that kind of capital.

…

Celeste knew nothing about what had been happening between Trevor and Wynn.

After winning the bid, she was so busy that she even worked overtime on Saturday.

On Sunday, when she finally had a day off, Jordyn showed up at the Rodriguez residence early in the morning.

Celeste had been exhausted the day before and woke up late. However, Jordyn didn't wake her. Instead, she waited obediently in her room.

When Celeste finally opened her eyes, Jordyn immediately burrowed into her arms.

"Mom, you're awake! Are you hungry? Dad's downstairs. He wants to talk to you."

Celeste had still been groggy from sleep, but those words cleared her head instantly.

Jordyn's arrival had been sudden.

None of the other Rodriguez family members were home.

About ten minutes later, Celeste went downstairs and saw Trevor sitting in the living room, drinking tea.

When he saw her, he greeted her calmly, as if nothing were amiss. "You're up."

But—

For a company positioned at the forefront of technological innovation, maintaining long-term competitiveness meant building a composite advantage that others couldn't easily replicate.

In that regard, YodaVision still had gaps.

After a brief pause, Celeste asked, "When?"

"He just arrived in Baumond yesterday. We're having lunch together. Want to come along?"

"Alright."

It was already past ten, and she hadn't even had breakfast yet. She said, "Send me the address. I'll—"

Before she could finish, Trevor looked at her and said, "I'll wait for you."

Celeste paused, then replied evenly, "No need. I'll go on my own."
