The Scent of 149

Chapter 149

Wynn didn’t even spare Celeste a glance. Clearly, Celeste wasn’t included in her apology.

Jorge wasn’t paying attention to Celeste at all, so he naturally didn’t notice these details. He simply said, “It was just a few minutes, it’s fine.”

“How generous of you, Mr. Robinson,” Matthias stood up, his tone chilly. “Now that everyone’s here, let’s not waste any more of our time. Let’s get started.”

Trevor maintained his politeness. “That was our mistake, Mr. Yoder. Please, go ahead.”

Matthias let out a cold huff, grabbed Celeste, and walked out of the meeting room first.

Trevor saw how closely Matthias held onto Celeste, but he quickly looked away, showing no reaction, as if he didn’t care.

However, Beck glanced at them a couple more times.

Among the group, Trevor and Wynn were undoubtedly the center of attention.

When they arrived at the test track, the staff respectfully reported, “Mr. Fleming, Ms. Locket, everything is ready.”

The way they acted made it clear they regarded Wynn as the boss’s wife.

“Start the test,” Trevor ordered.

“Yes, sir.”

They could clearly observe the driving conditions through the monitors.

After the test driver had successfully completed a round, the staff asked if Trevor and Wynn wanted to experience it firsthand.

Trevor agreed. So, he and Wynn got into the same car.

On the monitors, they could be seen chatting happily. When they looked at each other, their gazes seemed practically intertwined.

Celeste watched the screen without looking away, her expression calm.

Matthias, on the other hand, looked thoroughly disgusted.

Miles also wanted to try and was about to ask Beck when Linda approached him. “Mr. Harper, shall we-

Before she could finish, Beck cut her off. “You guys go ahead. I’m not interested.”

Linda choked on her words.

Meanwhile, Henry turned to Matthias and Celeste. “Mr. Yoder, Ms. Rodriguez, would you like to give it a try?”

They knew the car’s specs better than most of the InnovaTech staff. They had originally planned to try it, but now, after everything that had happened, they were already fuming. What was the point?

Matthias snorted. “No thanks.”

Celeste chuckled and leaned in to whisper to him about the car’s engine specs. Then she asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to try it?”

Matthias glared at her. “How do you know all this?”

Celeste touched her nose. “I happened to glance at the data they brought over earlier.” Having a good memory had its perks.

Matthias‘ mood instantly improved. “Go back and replicate it with me.”

“Alright.” With that, she pulled him into the car.

Half an hour later, they were done with the test.

Trevor said, “Thank you all for your hard work today. How about we grab a meal together?”

“Sounds good,” Jorge answered.

Matthias scoffed and said flatly, “Sorry, we’re busy. Enjoy your meal. We have things to do, so we’ll be heading out first.”

Trevor nodded. “In that case, let’s do it another time.” Then, he turned to Henry. “See Mr. Yoder and Ms. Rodriguez out.”

Henry quickly responded, “Of course.”

Matthias curled his lips in mockery but didn’t say anything. He simply walked out with Celeste.

Meanwhile, Xavier lowered his voice and whispered to Jorge, “Why do I get the feeling that Matthias really can’t stand Mr. Fleming and his people?”

Jorge had already noticed this the last time they ran into them here.

Back then, he thought maybe he was overthinking it and that Matthia
