Xavier continued, âThen how about you talk to Matthias? You and Matthias have some connection, right?â
Caleb replied, âI could, but I donât think Matthilas would listen.â
From the way Celeste had looked when she agreed to switch dance partners that night, Caleb had sensed that she and Matthias were not in a romantic relationship.
But at the same time, it was clear that Matthias valued Celeste deeply.
He didnât believe that even if he helped Jorge reconcile with Matthias, Matthias would suddenly agree to collaborate with Jorge
âSo, we still have to focus on Ms. Rodriguez? But we donât loow much about her. How should we approach her? Should we get someone to look into her background?â Xavier lamented.
Jorge shook his head. âForget it. I donât want to waste any more time on her. Iâll just reach out to my old man later.
Î
Caleb immediately caught on. âYou mean you want to go through Mr. Newman?â
âExactly.â
Matthias was Zacharyâs student. If Zachary spoke up, Jorge believed Matthias would budge.
Without hesitation, he decided to call Theodore.
On his way home after dinner, Jorge was about to call Theodore. But before he could, Theodoreâs call came through first.
Getting straight to the point, Theodore asked, âHow are the negotiations with YodaVision going?â
Jorge decided to be honest. âThey didnât go through. I was just about to ask for your help.
âWhat do you mean?â
âI offended an engineer at YodaVision, and for her sake, Matthias_â
Theodore cut him off. âWhatâs that engineerâs name?â
Jorge was momentarily stunnedâhe didnât expect that question. But he instinctively answered, âCeleste Rodriguezâ
Taking a deep breath, Theodore let out a laugh. âSo, before the collaboration even started, you managed to offend one of their core technical personnel. Impressive.â
Jorge was about to argue that Celeste wasnât exactly a core gureâjust someone with an ambiguous relationship
with Matthias.
But Theodore didnât give him the chance. âI can help you with this,â he said.
Jorge Immediately responded, âThanks, old man!â
âShameless.â
âWhenâs your next vacation? Jorge didnât see anything shameful about asking his father for help this time.
In his opinion, he could have secured the YodaVision proje based on his own ability. The only thing standing in his way was a personal grudge.

And since that grudge wasnât something he cared about, why not just take the easiest way around it?
was planning to take some time off in a few days,â Theodore said. âBut now I donât think I will. Seeing you would probably shorten my lifespan.â
With that, he hung up.
As for Celeste, he didnât even bother mentioning her. After all, when someoneâs life was too smooth, it might not necessarily be a good thing
After ending the call, Theodore picked up his phone again and dialed Celeste.
Celesteâs gaze shifted from her computer screen. Seeing his name on the caller ID, her eyes flickered slightly before she answered, âMr. Robinson.â
Theodore chuckled. âYouâre smart enough to guess why Iâm calling, arenât you?â
Celeste hummed a response.
Even though she had already figured out his intentions, Theodore still asked, âCan you agree to work with Jorge? Think of it as me owing you a favor. What do you say?â
Business was business. In reality, as long as both parties were sincere enough, even enemies could work together.
