Chapter 150
As they left InnovaTech and got into the car, Matthias was still fuming.
Something suddenly occurred to him, and he turned to Celeste. “By the way, who was that woman in the business suit standing behind Wynn? She looked at you strangely. Do you two know each other?”
Celeste replied, “Wynn’s cousin.”
“So, it’s already bad enough that Trevor brought Wynn into InnovaTech, but he actually took in her family too? At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if InnovaTech changes its name to Locket in a few months.”
Celeste felt the same way. But she simply hummed a response.
Given how much Trevor adored Wynn, she wouldn’t even be surprised if he handed InnovaTech over to her entirely. Letting the Shaw family work at InnovaTech was nothing.
Matthias decided to stop talking about it before he got even more frustrated.
That night, Celeste and Matthias stayed out late, working on replicating the engine specs of Trevor’s self–driving
car.
On the way home, snow began to fall.
When they arrived, Celeste was just about to take a shower when her phone rang.
It was Trevor.
She ignored the call, picked up her clothes, and went into the bathroom.
When she came out, she checked her phone and saw that Trevor had called twice. Since she didn’t answer, he had sent a message.
“Jordyn has a parent–teacher meeting tomorrow.”
Celeste read it and typed a short reply, “I’m not available tomorrow.” Then, she put her phone aside and didn’t think about it anymore.
Meanwhile, Trevor was busy while Jordyn was playing with his phone. When she saw Celeste’s reply. She lit up with excitement.
“Dad! Mom said she’s not available tomorrow! That means can ask Wynn to go to my parent–teacher meeting, right?”
Without looking up, Trevor responded with a simple hum.
“Yay! Awesome!” Jordyn jumped up from the couch, cheering and flailing her arms in excitement.
Trevor added, “I will be going too.”
Jordyn grinned. “I know! If Wynn is going, of course, you’d go too.”
The next day at YodaVision, Celeste was at work, discussing a project with Yandel, when her phone suddenly chimed.
It was a message from Jordyn’s homeroom teacher: “Mrs. Fleming, will you be attending today’s parent–teacher meeting for Jordyn?”
Celeste saw the message and replied, “I’m busy. I won’t be attending.”
