However, Celeste didn’t look up and continued discussing technical matters with the InnovaTech staff.
Albert smiled. “Mr. Yoder, do you know Mr. Robinson and Mr. York?”
Matthias replied, “Yeah.”
After all, they were all second- or third–generation elites in Baumond’s upper circles, so naturally, they knew each other.
It was just that he had taken a different path from them, so they weren’t particularly close.
After exchanging brief greetings with Matthias, Jorge and Xavier followed Albert to another area to discuss their business.
Wynn, however, stayed with Matthias.
She had also noticed Celeste, but after just one glance, she quickly withdrew her gaze, uninterested, and refocused – on Matthias.
“Mr. Yoder, did you just arrive?” she asked.
Matthias was highly capable in his own right, and on top of that, he was Zachary’s student.
Even though she could tell that he held some bias against her because of Celeste and had always been somewhat cold toward her, she still wanted to maintain a good relationship with him.
After all, once she became Zachary’s student as well, they would be spending more time together..
“I’ve been here for about half an hour,” Matthias replied absentmindedly while jotting down notes. “Ms. Locket, you look like you’ve been here for a while.”
Wynn said, “I arrived at InnovaTech this morning, but I was busy for most of the day. I got a little tired, so I went upstairs for a glass of water and a short break.”
That “going upstairs for a break” obviously meant going to Trevor’s office.
Hearing this, Matthias paused, and his tone grew even more indifferent. “Oh? So, Mr. Fleming is at InnovaTech too?”
“No, he’s at Fleming Group.”
In other words, even if Trevor wasn’t around, she could still come and go from his office freely? Did Trevor have no secrets from her at all?
Matthias gave a noncommittal “oh” and said nothing more. Instead, he stepped forward, notebook in hand, and approached Celeste, pointing at something in his notes.
Celeste glanced at it, nodded to indicate she understood, then turned back to her work.
