Matthias became quiet.
It was true that they had agreed to have a meal earlier with Lazarus, but now that the person who came to YodaVision had changed to Trevor, wasn’t It perfectly reasonable for him to change his mind?
He let out a dry chuckle and said, “Something came up at the last minute. Please forgive us, Mr. Fleming,”
Trevor smiled as well and didn’t pursue the matter any further. He stood up and said, “Alright, then we’ll do it next time.”
With that, he shook hands with Matthias, then extended his hand toward Celeste as well.
Celeste paused for a moment before reaching out to shake his hand. Her tone was calm. “Thank you.”
Trevor nodded. After glancing once more at Kieran, he left YodaVision together with Jacob. (3)
Over the next two days, because of the collaboration, Celeste went to the Fleming Group every day. Kieran accompanied her as well.
During those two days, Trevor would show up each morning while they were in meetings, sitting in to listen. However, he rarely stayed long. After about half an hour, he would leave on his own.
By this point, Lazarus and the others had basically confirmed that Trevor had developed feelings for Celeste. 2 Kieran rarely came to Fleming Group before.
He had heard previously that Trevor would sometimes come down to listen in on Celeste’s meetings.
Since he also knew that Trevor had studied AI, seeing him attend their meetings over the past two days, Kieran simply assumed that he was interested in certain aspects of the project and didn’t think too much of it. 3
That day, close to noon, Wynn once again arrived at Fleming Group.
However, she still didn’t see Trevor.
Instead, she ran into Jacob.
Seeing her, Jacob paused, then walked over. “Ms. Locket, are you looking for Mr. Fleming?” (1)
Wynn smiled. “Yes. Where’s Trevor?”
Jacob replied, “Mr. Fleming… is downstairs.”
He didn’t specify where downstairs. But Wynn had already guessed where Trevor was.
Still, her smile didn’t change as she said, “I see… Then I’ll wait for him in his office.” 1
Jacob nodded. “Alright.”
Wynn went into Trevor’s office and sat down. Jacob made her a cup of coffee. Seeing that it was almost half past

twelve and Trevor still hadn’t come upstairs, Jacob seemed to think of something and turned to head downstairs.
When he reached the lower floor, he realized that Trevor, Celeste, and Lazarus were all gone.
He paused, then asked someone nearby, “Mr. Fleming… Where did they go?”
“Mr. Fleming went out to eat with Mr. Collet and the others.” 2
Jacob fell silent for a moment.
After processing it, he turned around and went back upstairs to inform Wynn. “Sorry, Ms. Locket. I just asked around, and Mr. Fleming went out to take care of something.”
Wynn’s hand paused slightly as she held her coffee. Then she smiled, stood up, and said, “It’s fine. I’ll come by another time.” (4
With that, she got up, picked up her bag, and turned to leave.
Watching her retreating figure, Jacob couldn’t help calling out, “Wait a moment.”
Wynn turned back with a smile. “What is it? Is there something else?”
Jacob naturally understood what Trevor’s recent change in attitude toward Celeste meant. 3
Although he wasn’t completely clear on everything regarding Trevor’s personal affairs, he did know that the frequency of meetings between Trevor and Wynn had noticeably decreased compared to before. 3
Even if he didn’t fully understand what was going on between them now, seeing the dim look on Wynn’s face earlier when she learned that Trevor wasn’t around was enough for him to know that she must already be aware of some of Trevor’s changes.
He saw it clearly and wanted to say something. 2
But he was Trevor’s subordinate. Without Trevor’s permission, there were things he couldn’t speak of lightly. C
For a moment, he fell silent. 14
