Chapter 140
Jorge asked, “Are you familiar with that woman?”
Hearing him mention Celeste, Wynn's fingers briefly tightened on the keyboard. She instinctively thought he
might be interested in her.
Celeste was indeed beautiful. But recalling what she had overheard at the auction that day, along with Jorge's
current attitude, she quickly realized she had been mistaken.
Expressionless, she replied, “Not really. Why?”
Jorge glanced in Celeste and Matthias’s direction and said, “Judging by how she talks with Matthias, she seems
quite capable.”
Wynn said indifferently, “I'm not sure, but | heard she only has a bachelor’s degree.”
“Only a bachelor’s degree?”
“Mm.”

That explained a lot. With a lower academic background than Wynn and lacking the sstriking charm, it was
understandable that she would feel insecure about Matthias being taken away.
Jorge could understand Celeste’s nervousness about losing Matthias.
But seeing someone better than herself and instantly treating them as an enemy, always assuming other women
were trying to seduce her boyfriend? That was a real turn-off.
With that thought, Jorge's neutral attitude toward Celeste shifted into mild dislike.
Meanwhile, Matthias, now free for a moment, glanced through the glass window at Jorge and Wynn inside the
conference room.
After watching for a few seconds, he leaned in close to Celeste and murmured, “Jorge likes Wynn?”
Celeste was focused on processing data, and it took her a second to register who he was referring to. Then she
replied in a flat tone, “Probably.”
She genuinely didn’t care about the matter. After answering, she simply pulled Matthias back to work, reminding
him to quit gossiping.
The sooner they finished, the sooner they could leave.
Matthias smirked. “What a poor choice.” That was the end of his gossiping.
Jorge, noticing Matthias glancing their way, assumed he was looking at Wynn. And when he saw Celeste frown
and pull Matthias away, he thought she was annoyed that he kept staring at Wynn.
Wynn ran into a technical issue and paused.
She wanted to ask Matthias for guidance, but when she looked over, she found that both he and the InnovaTech
engineers were completely focused on listening to Celeste.
The way they looked at her-if she didn’t know better, she would have thought Celeste was skind of top-tier
technical expert.
At that thought, Wynn averted her gaze.
Celeste and Matthias worked straight through until after 5:00 pm before finally wrapping things up.

Jonathan invited Celeste and Matthias into the conference room to take a break and have swater.

Seeing that Jorge's team had also finished their work, Jonathan said, “It's getting late. How about grabbing
dinner together?”
Jorge's heart stirred, and he looked at Wynn.
Wynn, as if not noticing his gaze, replied, “Sorry, Trevor is coming to pickup from Fleming Group. We have
other plans, so | won't be joining. Enjoy your meal.”
Hearing that Wynn wouldn't be going, Jorge instantly lost interest in the dinner as well. “I've got things to do as
well. Let's do it another time.”
Wynn wasn’t surprised by his response, but she showed no reaction on her face.
The more Matthias observed, the more convinced he becthat Jorge liked Wynn.
It was also obvious that Jorge only backed out of the dinner because Wynn wasn’t going.
With both of them declining, Jonathan found himself in an awkward position and turned to Matthias. “Mr. Yoder,
what about you?”
Matthias clinked his teacup against Celeste’s and grinned. “We're free, right, Cel?”
