The Scent of 159

Chapter 159

Clearly, it was Wynn who answered the call.

Jordyn felt a little uncomfortable lying right in front of Celeste. “Mom, how about you take me to school next.

time?”

Celeste replied, “Okay,”

Celeste and Tucker were going the same way, so they shared a car.

Having missed his morning study session, Tucker made up for it by studying in the car.

Celeste noticed his hesitations and gently corrected him on a couple of points.

Tucker gave her a thumbs up. “You’ve got a sharp memory Celeste!”

They arrived at Tucker’s high school.

Celeste, too, graduated from the same high school.

The familiar campus brought back a flood of memories for er.

Her thoughts were cut short as Tucker quickly got out of the car. “Bye, Celeste!”

“See you.”

The car rejoined the bustling road.

Arriving at YodaVision, Matthias pinched her cheek lightly “Your face looks pale. Are you sick?”

“Yeah, I was running a fever yesterday,”

“And you still came to work today?”

Celeste shrugged. “But I’m feeling much better now.”

“I’m heading to InnovaTech later. Do you want to follow?”

“Why not?” Celeste replied as she went through the latest test data

“Alright, I’ll come to you later.”

“Okay.”

Celeste noticed some problems with two sets of data, so she went to Yandel to have them corrected.

Matthias came to her when she was about to go through the documents on her desk, telling her it was time to go.

Once they arrived at InnovaTech, they didn’t waste time with pleasantries, Jumping right into work.

About an hour later, when the work was mostly done, Henry handed them a cup of coffee each.

Matthias took a sip of the coffee and commented, “This coffee is really good, even richer than the ones I’ve had before. Looks like your company’s benefits are getting better and better.”

With that, Henry flashed a mischievous grin. “It’s all thanks to Ms. Locket.”

Matthias rolled his eyes.

“Wynn again?” he thought.

Chapter 159

He placed the cup back on the table and glanced at Celeste

“I’m thirsty,” Celeste uttered as she continued to sip on the coffee.

Matthias was at a loss for words.

Henry’s penchant for gossip was still evident. “Didn’t Mr. Heming give Ms. Locket full control over a project?”

Matthias nodded.

Henry went on, “Ms. Locket’s probably a bit anxious since it’s her first big project, so her team has been working overtime during the weekend. I heard they were working until past 10:00 pm last night.”

“I see,” Matthias responded coldly.

“Honestly, don’t you think she’s quite dedicated and responsible? She didn’t treat the project as a game just because she’s Mr. Fleming’s girlfriend.”

Matthias scoffed. “Could it be that she lacks the skills, which is why she needs so many people working overtime with her?”

Henry knew what he was talking about.

“It takes time for people to improve, right?”

“Maybe,” Matthias said nonchalantly.

He glanced at Celeste. “When Cel led her first big project at the company, she managed it with impressive poise from beginning to end.”

After working with Celeste a few times, Henry discovered that Celeste was way more capable than Matthias.

Hence, he believed what Matthias had just said.

He then added, “At least she has a great attitude. With that, plus Mr. Fleming’s support, she’s sure to accomplish great things down the road.”
