Chapter 203

Celeste’s calm demeanor made it seem as if she had already known they would end up working together.

Jorge didn’t think too much about it, assuming that Matthias had given her a heads–up in advance. He responded indifferently, “Looking forward to working with you.”

At the restaurant, just as Celeste and Matthias were about to head upstairs after getting out of the car, Jorge caught sight of Trevor and Wynn entering from another side.

He paused and greeted them, “Mr. Fleming, Ms. Locket.”

Trevor and Wynn also noticed them.

Trevor nodded, “Mr. Robinson, Mr. Yoder.”

Matthias, wearing a polite yet insincere smile, replied, “M Fleming.”

Before Trevor could say anything, Matthias cut him off, “You two go ahead and chat–we’ll head up first.”

With that, he stepped into the elevator with Celeste.

Back when they ran into each other at InnovaTech, Jorge had already noticed that Matthias had no fondness for Trevor.

This time, Matthias didn’t even bother hiding it, which surprised Jorge.

He wasn’t sure what kind of grudge existed between Matthias and Trevor, but it was clear that Trevor was still polite toward him.

As Trevor and Wynn withdrew their gazes from Matthias and Celeste’s departing figures, Wynn asked, “If Mr. Robinson is here dining with Mr. Yoder, does that mean the contract negotiations have been settled?”

Jorge smiled, “Yes, they have.”

Wynn knew that the previous deal between Jorge and Yodavision had falleni through because he had angered Celeste, and because of that, Matthias had turned against him.

Matthias had been very firm in refusing to work with Jorge

She had thought that, just like her own situation, Jorge would end up missing out on working with YodaVision because of Celeste.

But unexpectedly, he

managed to pull it off.

Did this mean that, in Matthias’s mind, no matter how important Celeste was to him, when his real interests were at stake, he would ultimately prioritize his own benefit?

In other words, maybe Celeste wasn’t as important to Matthias as Wynn had previously assumed.

Thinking of this, Wynn smiled and said, “Congratulations.

Hearing her congratulations, Jorge chuckled and replied, “hank you.”

Then, he turned to Trevor and said, “By the way, Mr. Fleming, there’s a project at your company that I’m quite interested in. I was wondering when you’d be available—I love to discuss it with you.”

Trevor replied, “I’m free for the next few days. Whenever you have time, feel free to reach out.”

Jorge nodded. After exiting the elevator, he parted ways with them and headed to his privat

By the time he entered, Matthias and Celeste were already ordering food.

Seeing him walk in, Matthias remarked, “Oh, Mr. Robinson done chatting?”

Jorge took a seat, adjusting his position slightly to sit further away from Celeste. Ignoring Matthias’s tone, he casually asked, “Is there some conflict between you and Mr. Fleming?”

Matthias curled his lips. “No. It’s a full–blown feud.”

If it were truly that serious, he wouldn’t say it so easily.

Realizing that Matthias didn’t want to elaborate, Jorge didt press the matter. Instead, noticing that they were picking out dishes together, he offered politely, “This meat is on me. Please, order whatever you’d like.”

Without even looking up, Matthias replied, “I know. We weren’t planning to hold back.”

Jorge couldn’t say anything.

Once Matthias and Celeste finished ordering, Jorge casually added two more dishes and shifted the conversation to business.

After a while, the food started arriving

When Matthias said they weren’t holding back, Jorge had thought he was joking.

But when he saw the table completely covered with dishes, with servers continuously bringing in more food–all of which happened to be the most expensive items on the menu–he felt a faint headache coming on.

Matthias, completely ignoring his expression, kept serving food onto Celeste’s plate. “Cel, take your time. No rush.”
