It really was Celeste?

Even though Jorge, Lilian, and Linda didn’t specialize in Af and couldn’t fully grasp how groundbreaking Celeste’s paper was, they did know one thing–Wynn’s advisor, Cayden, was a major figure in the AI world.

A world–renowned expert like him paying this much attention to a paper–personally messaging Wynn and urging her to study it thoroughly–was a huge deal.

On top of that, Rodney’s student had just said Celeste’s paper had caused a massive stir both at home and abroad, with top engineers staying up all night to read it.

All of this pointed to one thing: Celeste’s paper had real weight. But how could such a powerful paper possibly have come from Celeste?

Rodney, not knowing who Celeste was or her history with the Lockets and the Shaws, hadn’t read the paper yet.

Still, just hearing that it had increased large language model efficiency for long–text processing over tenfold was already enough to get him excited.

He immediately turned to Matthias and asked, “This engineer named Celeste Rodriguez–is she here today?”

“She is,” Matthias said with a smile. He turned toward Celeste and added, “This is Celeste Rodriguez.”

Celeste had been extremely low–key the whole time–whether during the Fleming Group meeting earlier or now -quiet and unassuming.

But her looks made her hard to ignore. Even those who didn’t know her had taken notice of her just because she was so striking.

What no one had imagined was that she was this capable.

When it sank in that she was the one behind the paper causing such a commotion in the AI world, Rodney stood up in surprise and walked over to her, offering a handshake and greeting her politely.

“Hello, Ms. Rodriguez. I’m Rodney Milford from Yardley University. My research over the years has focused on fundamental AI theory and applied development. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Celeste also stood and shook his hand, replying, “Hello, Professor Milford. You’re too kind. It’s an honor to meet you.”

Rodney’s humility and courtesy were evident–so much so that anyone watching might’ve assumed he was the junior and Celeste the senior.

Linda, watching this scene, felt a flare of resentment.

Wasn’t it just one paper? Was all this really necessary?

Lilian also frowned.

At that moment, Matthias turned to Wynn with a smile and said, “Ms. Locket, you mentioned earlier that you’d be studying this paper closely.

“If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to Cel for guidance.”

Wynn pressed her lips tightly together.

Rodney, a well–known professor at one of the top universities in the country, was already showing this much respect to Celeste, and now, Matthias was suggesting that Wynn should go to Celeste for help?

Linda couldn’t take it anymore.

She slammed the table and stood up, shouting, “You’re being-”

“You’re being ridiculous! Wynn graduated from one of the world’s top universities with a PhD! Who the hell is Celeste? She’s just an undergraduate! And you expect Wynn to go ask her for advice? Are you joking?

“It’s just one paper! How does that prove she’s better than Wynn?”

That was what Linda had wanted to say. But before she could get all those words out, Wynn cut her off and calmly said, “Mr. Yoder is right. If I have the opportunity, I’d be glad to consult Ms. Rodriguez.”

She was nothing if not adaptable.

Matthias, hearing this, gave a cold scoff inwardly.

He knew about the long–standing tension between Celeste and Wynn. So, for him to say Wynn should seek out Celeste’s help on technical matters was as good as publicly humiliating her.

Jorge’s face darkened.

He didn’t understand the technical significance of Celeste’s paper, but hearing Matthias seemingly insult Wynn like that made him feel the same way Linda did.

“So what if Cayden himself praised the paper? It’s still just one paper. Isn’t this going too far?” Jorge thought to himself.

Lilian’s expression also turned frosty.

Linda, though furious at being cut off, couldn’t say more because Wynn herself had chosen not to escalate things.

Just then, Matthias’s secretary, Candice, leaned in and said, “Mr. Yoder, Professor Sweeney just called. He said he’ll be coming to Ceravelle in the next couple of days. He hopes to speak with you and Ms. Rodriguez personally.”

Matthias replied nonchalantly, “Tell him I won’t have time for a meeting.”

“Understood,” Candice nodded. Then she turned to Celeste and added, “Ms. Rodriguez, Professor Sweeney said if Mr. Yoder isn’t available, he’s happy to fly here just to meet with you.

“He said your paper is full of brilliant insights, and he hopes to have a deep conversation with you.”

Celeste replied, “I won’t have time either. Please help me decline on my behalf.”

“Understood.”

At this Jorge and Linda’s expressions shifted.

Cayden wasn’t just praising Celeste’s paper–he was willing to fly over just to talk to her? Could the paper really be that impressive?

Wynn understood better than any of them just how influential Cayden was in the AI world.

So, when she heard that her advisor was eagerly requesting a meeting with Celeste, her face turned even darker than the others‘.
