Despite having been at the table for quite a while, Trevor hadn’t eaten a single bite.
Hearing the comment, Trevor picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth before turning to Matthias with a faint smile.
“It’s true. I’ve been considering it. What’s your take, Mr. Yoder?”
Matthias wasn’t one to pass up an opportunity for business.
“To have Mr. Fleming’s interest is an honor for YodaVision.”
If Trevor and Matthias were to collaborate, Wynn would be delighted. After all, closer ties between them would mean more chances for her to interact with Matthias. If that happened, it would make it easier to draw Matthias over to her side.
With that thought in mind, she shot a cold glance at Celeste.
Celeste, however, spent most of her time chatting with Bryson. Though she kept a casual ear on the overall dynamics at the table, she wasn’t overly concerned.
If Matthias genuinely wanted to collaborate with Trevor, she had no objections. After all, there was no reason to turn down money.
As the meal wrapped up, the group didn’t remain seated. Those with potential business interests moved over to the couches to continue their discussions.
Trevor’s earlier mention of collaborating with YodaVision had been more of a passing remark. Whether or not it would actually happen was something Celeste couldn’t be sure of.
However, Yale Young, one of the guests at the table, seemed genuinely eager to work with them. Even before the meal was finished, he had already gathered his team to begin discussing matters with Matthias.
Celeste joined them as well.
She was well-versed in the technical side, but when it came to negotiations, that was Matthias’ domain.
Sitting quietly on the side, she only spoke occasionally. When she noticed Matthias’ glass was empty, she picked it up and said, “I’ll get you a refill.”
Matthias smiled. “Thanks.”
Seeing Celeste playing the role of Matthias’ assistant, Wynn and Lennox became even more convinced that Celeste’s position at YodaVision Co. was nothing more than a minor role assisting Matthias.
With the glass in hand, Celeste turned and walked a few steps. Just as she passed near Trevor, someone nearby shifted and accidentally bumped into her.
Caught off guard, Celeste lost her balance. Holding the glass, she stumbled forward—right into Trevor’s arms.
The scene made everyone pause.
To the onlookers, it looked like someone had accidentally bumped into Celeste. But who could say for sure? After all, how could it be such a coincidence that she fell straight into Trevor’s arms?
Celeste was undeniably stunning. Her figure was graceful and supple, and her skin was so smooth and fair it almost resembled porcelain.
While Wynn was also beautiful and alluring, many of the men present—judging with their experienced eyes—felt that Celeste had the edge.
For most men, having such a woman deliberately fall into their arms would stir something within them.
But Trevor was different.
His expression remained indifferent as he briefly steadied Celeste by her shoulders before pushing her away. He didn’t show the slightest sign of being moved.
Celeste only realized she had fallen into Trevor’s arms when she caught a familiar scent from him.
Once she registered what had happened, her expression turned calm. She straightened up and softly said, “Sorry,” before turning to leave.
To Wynn and Lennox, however, it was clear—Celeste had done it on purpose.
Lennox scoffed and said to Wynn, “I told you she wouldn’t behave.”
“Still, all her scheming amounts to nothing.”
Trevor’s indifference had made that clear.
“Exactly.” Lennox laughed. “Trevor’s reaction really gives you a sense of security.”
Wynn smiled sweetly and lowered her head in delight.
Meanwhile, Harvey frowned.
He had thought Celeste was quiet and unassuming, but now he felt he had misjudged her. Who would have guessed she had so many tricks up her sleeves?
