Chapter 39
After Quentin left YodaVision, he immediately called Wynn.
“Celeste joined YodaVision?”
Quentin was puzzled. “Hmm. Didn’t you know this?”
He thought Celeste replaced her at YodaVision.
“No.” She thought Matthias didn’t hire her as he wanted to vent his anger on Celeste’s behalf. She pondered whether Celeste had left Fleming Group since joining YodaMision.
Quentin was shocked. “So, what was the personal reason you mentioned earlier?”
Wynn refused to elaborate. “Just some personal grudges.”
“But…”
“What’s wrong?”
He’d misunderstood. His resignation wasn’t related to Wynn. Quentin then asked, “How good is Celeste? I heard she hasn’t passed her doctoral exam yet. She…”
“Her situation isn’t that she hasn’t yet passed her doctoral exam. Rather, she only holds an undergraduate degree and has never pursued a master’s degree.”
“What? Really?”
“Mmm,” Wynn replied indifferently.
She was taken aback by Celeste’s decision to leave Fleming Group. Yet, even more surprising was that rather than pursuing further studies, Celeste used her connections to secure a position at another company. It was apparent that she lacked vision and a broader perspective on her future.
Quentin asked, “Wynn, what are your plans next?”
“I have an important racing competition coming up, so I need to focus on practicing for now. I’ll think about work later.”
“Oh, I see…” Quentin knew that Wynn was remarkable in all aspects. He sometimes felt confused about how she managed so many activities without losing her expertise.
However, he believed that her competence set her apart from others. Since she took on these challenges, she must have understood what she was doing.
Meanwhile, in the Fleming Group office, Trevor flipped through the documents. He barely glanced up as he instructed Jacob, “Get me a cup of coffee.”
“Alright, Mr. Fleming.”
This was Naomi’s first time making coffee for Trevor on her own, and she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. Following Celeste’s instructions, she brewed the coffee meticulously, and Jacob delivered it to Trevor.
Trevor set aside the documents and picked up his coffee, giving it a stir. As he brought the cup to his lips, he hesitated. The aroma seemed off.
Trying to take a sip, he instantly recoiled at the taste and placed the cup down, commanding, “Ask her to make
another one.”

Jacob was momentarily stunned. “Okay.”
Naomi was slightly anxious after being informed. “Another cup? Did I add too much sugar, or is the flavor off? I carefully followed Celeste’s instructions and measured the sugar accurately. There shouldn’t be any issues.”
“I’m not sure either.”
Naomi had no choice but to brew another cup of coffee. Maybe she was nervous this time. Trevor didn’t even taste it. He just smelled it and knew it wasn’t right.
He then turned to Jacob and asked, “What’s going on?”
