The Scent of 94

Chapter 94

Celeste tucked her phone away and went downstairs. She told Martha that Trevor had dinner plans outside.

That night, Trevor didn’t return home.

The next day, Martha was enraged when she learned about it. “I can’t believe him. I know he’s very busy with work, but how could he not come home at all?”

Celeste merely wordlessly grinned when she heard what Martha said. Trevor might’ve been busy, but he could’ve come home if that was what he wanted to do. After all, he needed to sleep.

Celeste recalled hearing Wynn’s voice over the phone last night. Trevor must’ve gone somewhere better. That was most likely why he didn’t come home.

Meanwhile, YodaVision Co. had its major projects outlined for the next two years. Celeste had done it in the past two days, but Matthias believed they should compile their ideas. Thus, he sent some documents to Zachary so that the latter could provide him with some insights.

Zachary was very busy most of the time. On top of that, his whereabouts were quite erratic. So, Celeste and Matthias thought they wouldn’t get his reply until after a few days–weeks, even.

To their collective surprise, Zachary gave them a call. “Nice ideas.”

With

Zachary’s approval, Celeste and Matthias felt more confident about their projects. After all, his expectations were crazy high. His response might have been brief and unassuming, but it was high praise coming from someone like him.

Zachary continued, “Based on what you’ve sent me, you didn’t make any mistake on the past foundations or the recent years of artificial intelligence field development. This is adequate work.”

Clearly, Zachary was addressing Celeste, which made her feel a sting in her nose.

Before she could say anything, he continued, “With that said, you’re still very negligent. You will lose progress if you don’t continually brush yourself up. As a matter of fact, you are slipping, Celeste.”

Celeste immediately responded, “Understood, Mr. Newman I will do my best to catch up on what I have missed over the past years.”

“Very well.” Zachary never bothered to be long–winded–that wasn’t his style. So, he stopped speaking

Celeste noticed that Zachary seemed to have some time on his hands. So, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you free tonight, Mr. Newman? I would like to have dinner with you!

In fact it had been forever since Matthias shared a meal with Zachary. When he heard what Celeste said, he immediately nodded. “Yeah, Mr. Newman. Do you have the time?”

Zachary responded nonchalantly, “I already have an appointment.”

“Huh?” Matthias and Celeste were severely disappointed. She was about to ask Zachary when he would be available because she wanted to treat him to dinner in the future.

Before Celeste could say anything, however, Zachary said,Trevor is the one who made an appointment with me.” Celeste and Matthias were dumbfounded. He glanced at her before asking softly, “Why would Mr. Fleming seek you out, Mr. Newman? Can you tell us?”

“Trevor said he wanted to introduce someone to me.” At the next moment, Zachary ended the call without saying another word.

Matthias glanced at Celeste and asked, “Do you think Trevor intends to introduce Wynn to Mr. Newman?”

Matthias didn’t know the Locket family had their own tech company until he met them previously. Wynn intended. to work at YodaVision Co. because she wanted Cuap, the programming language.

Meanwhile, the public shared the consensus that Zachary was the one who created the programming language with a team of programmers.

Now that Wynn could no longer work at YodaVision Co., she probably wanted to connect with Zachary so she could continue to study Cuap. In fact, it was entirely possible that she wanted to become his apprentice as well.

At the thought of it, Matthias immediately cursed. “Motherfucker!”
