At noon, Wynn headed to Fleming Grouporation, nning to

apany Trevor to meet a potential partner for InnovaTech. 2

When she arrived, Trevor was still ina meeting.

That morning alone, he had already held three back-to-back

meetings. Wynn waited quite a while before he finally finished.

Back in his office, he spotted her and gave a slight nod. "You''re

Wynn smiled faintly and hummed a reply.

"There are still a few things I need to handle. You''ll have to wait

before we can leave." 2

“That''s fine, go ahead," Wynn replied. 2

While Trevor worked through a few documents on his desk,

Jacob stood at his side, briefing him on the day''s schedule.

"I already spoke with Mr. Keith this morning," Trevor said. "I''l be

pushing my trip to Andostan back by two days.”

"Understood." Jacob didn''t ask further and continued with his

But off to the side, Wynn''sshes fluttered.

Three nights from now would be YodaVision’s anniversary

celebration. 4

If Trevor postponed his trip, then he would undoubtedly be

attending the banquet.

When YodaVision''s invitation had first arrived, she had agreed to

attend with him.

At the time, the only reason she agreed was to avoid arousing

suspicion. After all, whenever he had invited her to other events

before, she had almost always epted.

Her n had been to simply find an excuse to back out when

the day came. 6

So, when she heard he was supposed to be in Andostan on the

same day, she had actually felt... relieved. But now...

Though there were still a couple of days before the anniversary

celebration, Trevor was well aware of InnovaTech''s business

Without much preparation time, it wasn''t easy for her toe

up with a convincing excuse to refuse.

At that thought, Wynn frowned. Then suddenly, she froze.

It struck her btedly—was Trevor dying his trip specifically

to attend YodaVision''s banquet? =

Her gaze drifted to him.

He was calmly leafing through the documents, seemingly

oblivious to her stare.

After a moment of silence, Wynn couldn''t hold back. "Trevor, did

you... postpone your trip to Andostan because you wanted to

attend YodaVision''s anniversary banquet?" 1

At that, he paused, then looked up at her. "Yes." 4

Wynn forced a smile. "Howe you never mentioned it before?

Although his business trip had been scheduled after the

invitation arrived, the negotiations in Andostan were also of

great importance. +

The project with YodaVision was indeed significant to Fleming

Group, but from what she knew, the talks abroad were no less

YodaVision and Fleming Group''s partnership was already stable.

So, his absence at their banquet wouldn''t jeopardize anything,

However, the talk in Andostan was different.

What was more, given how Matthias and Celeste normally

treated him, they wouldn''t have minded in the slightest if he

skipped the anniversary celebration. 2

In such a situation, when schedules shed, even a fool would

know which was the better choice. But Trevor, against all logic,

had chosen—

He gave a smallugh, lowering his head again as he continued

flipping through the file. "The deal in Andostan has been more or

less secured. It won''t matter if I go a littleter." 1

Was that really the case?

Wynn said nothing more.

By then, Trevor had finished reading his documents. He stood

and said to her, “Alright, let''s go." ?style
