The Scent of 243

Chapter 243

Even though YodaVision had sealed the deal with Jorge and Beck, certain aspects of the business still lacked suitable partners.

To accelerate the search for the right partners, enhance the company’s exposure, and push for growth, YodaVision had been organizing an investment conference, which officially took place on Monday morning.

After dropping Jordyn off at school in the morning, Celeste headed to the hotel for the conference.

By the time she got there, Matthias and the others were already present.

Celeste was set to take the stage shortly as the company’s core engineer to deliver a speech and answer the media’s questions.

Hence, she was going over the agenda backstage with Matthias.

Just then, Beck arrived.

He had only been seated for a moment when Jorge also showed up.

About 20 minutes later, Matthias and Celeste went upstage to give their speeches.

Jorge appeared engaged during Matthias’s speech, yet when Celeste stepped forward, a frown crept onto his face.

Was Matthias really handing over such an important segment–introducing the product and technology–to Celeste?

Celeste didn’t spare Jorge a glance. Whether it was presenting the company’s products or tackling technical questions from the media, her voice remained gentle and composed. She answered everything flawlessly, showing no signs of nervousness.

The moment Celeste began speaking, Jorge’s mind drifted elsewhere, and he had no interest in listening to her speech.

As she responded to the media’s product–related questions, he figured YodaVision must have fed her the answers beforehand.

His mind wandered, but when he glanced sideways, he saw Beck’s eyes locked on Celeste.

Unlike him, Beck seemed fully engaged, listening with keen interest.

He didn’t give it much thought, assuming that it was just Beck’s usual display of professionalism.

After the conference wrapped up, Celeste and Matthias‘ schedules became even more hectic.

Since Jorge had to visit InnovaTech later in the day, he kept his stay brief. He greeted Matthias before he left.

He got to InnovaTech before Trevor.

Hence, he made his way to where Wynn and her team worked.

As he approached the entrance, he could tell the place was buzzing with activity.

Albert greeted him right away when he saw him. “Nice seeing you here, Mr. Robinson.”

Jorge acknowledged him with a nod. Wynn glanced over and added, “Trevor should be here in about ten minutes. Please wait for a moment.”

From the way Wynn spoke, Jorge could tell her bond with Trevor was strong; otherwise, he wouldn’t update her

on everything.

“I know; his secretary has informed me about it,” he said.

With that, he shifted the topic. “It’s quite lively here today. Is there something worth celebrating?”

Albert immediately responded, “We’d been struggling with a major technical hurdle for over a week, but Ms. Locket just solved it completely. Now, we can finally move forward, so everyone’s in high spirits.”

Someone chimed in, “We really owe it to Ms. Locket this time. A PhD holder from a top–tier university makes all the difference–they have such vast technical expertise compared to us.”

“Exactly.”

Jorge had always known Wynn was talented, but now he had seen it for himself.

Hearing everyone’s praise for Wynn, he felt genuinely happy for her. “Congratulations.”

Wynn replied with a smile, “Thank you.”

In the next instant, she added, “I can’t take all the credit, though. Trevor has taught me a lot recently, and that’s what helped me improve so quickly.”

And Wynn wasn’t lying when she said that.
