Celeste murmured a reply. Jordyn paused, realizing that Celeste might not know who Shanice was, and quickly added, "Shanice is my friend—she calls Mr. Harper her uncle."Celeste responded softly, noticing how eager she was to share. "What did you guys do?""We explored a maze!"Celeste listened without much reaction, but Betty's expression grew stern. When Trevor took Jordyn back, she thought he would be looking after Jordyn himself. It was only now that she realized Trevor wasn't taking care of Jordyn himself. Instead, he was focused on dating Wynn and would rather leave her with someone else than let Celeste care for her. Betty's face soured. Jordyn had no clue what Betty was thinking. Then, she added, "Mr. Harper asked me to stay for dinner, but I want to come back, so I called you."Celeste nodded. "Did you thank him then?" she asked. "Yes, I did!" Jordyn replied cheerfully. Celeste didn't ask any further. Since Jordyn had finished her homework, she stayed in

However, everyone thought she was just being humble.After a brief moment of celebration, the team settled back into work. Wynn knew YodaVision had a press conference this morning. She was just too busy to look it up online. Then, she grabbed her phone and searched for news about the conference. "Did you attend the press conference this morning as well, Mr. Robinson?" she asked Jorge."Yeah."She was watching the video seriously, and the screen happened to be displaying Celeste's presentation on YodaVision's products and technology. He observed Wynn's expression and noticed that she looked composed, without any hint of displeasure or irritation toward Celeste. Remembering Celeste's hostility toward Wynn on Christmas and comparing it to Wynn's demeanor now, he was even more convinced that Celeste couldn't match Wynn's level of composure. Just as he was about to speak, Albert leaned over and commented, "I watched parts of YodaVision's press conference, and I have to say, t

"Okay.""I'll hang up now. I have to work later," Celeste added. "Alright, bye, Mom!"Celeste then ended the call. After having breakfast, she went to the office. Yesterday had been hectic, and today was just as demanding. But in the afternoon, she managed to leave a little early and went back to the Rodriguez residence to have lunch with Betty. When she arrived, she noticed that Betty seemed a little down. She glanced around the living room, and Jordyn was nowhere to be seen. Jordyn was probably out having dinner with Trevor. Celeste wasn't fazed, but Betty noticed how attached Jordyn was to Trevor. With a serious tone, she said, "Cel, when work isn't as hectic, you really need to spend more time with Jo. Otherwise…"Celeste nodded absentmindedly. "I know. I will. Let's eat first."Betty sighed, letting the conversation end there. After dinner, Celeste chatted for a bit with Betty before she went upstairs to rest. At around 9:00 pm, she went downstairs, only

Technically, she was still married. And with where things stood between them, saying something like that would be inappropriate. After seeing Beck off, Celeste quickly headed back upstairs. He watched her go, lingering for a moment before turning to James Ford, one of his company's core engineers, and said, "I need your help with something.""Of course," James replied. "A friend of mine is looking to study natural language processing in depth but needs an elite mentor…"James listened and, given their rapport, agreed without question.However, he paused for a moment before continuing, "I may have some expertise in this field, but to be honest, I don't think I measure up to Mr. Yoder from YodaVision or Ms. Rodriguez, who has been handling our collaboration discussions. So, if you're looking for the best guidance, Ms. Rodriguez or Mr. Yoder might be better choices."Beck was a little surprised when he heard what James had said. His background was in finance, and AI wasn't h

The next day, just before noon, Celeste went out. It had been a long while since she had met Shanice, and Shanice missed her a lot. Celeste stepped into the restaurant and made her way to the private lounge. The moment Shanice spotted her, she ran over. "Ms. Celeste!"Smiling, Celeste gave her a hug. "It's been a while, Shanice."It was Celeste's first time dining at that restaurant. As she sampled the food, she found every dish surprisingly good—exactly to her taste. After lunch, they went straight to the cinema to pick up the tickets that Beck had booked for the early afternoon. Before heading to the theatre, Shanice asked for popcorn. Beck, about to buy it, asked, "Large or small?""Large! I'll share it with you and Ms. Celeste."Beck replied with a smile. "Alright."Inside, Shanice sat in the middle. Settling in, she placed the popcorn bucket on her lap, took a piece, and munched on it before nudging Celeste to have some too. Celeste obliged, reaching for a piece
