Betty had relatives visiting from Xelora, and they had como Baumond to see her.

That morning, just as Celeste finished a meeting, Betty called and asked her to come over for lunch with them.

She stood by the elevator, waiting, when Joseph Lockridge the newly hired general manager of YodaVision- walked over with Trevor and Jacob,

Upon seeing her, Joseph greeted her, “Ms. Rodriguez.”

Celeste gave a slight nod.

Joseph wasn’t sure whether Trevor and Celeste knew each her. He only knew that despite Trevor being at YodaVision for several days discussing a collaboration, he and Celeste had never crossed paths

Seeing that Celeste didn’t greet Trevor, Joseph assumed they weren’t acquainted. So, he introduced them.

“Ms. Rodriguez, this is Mr. Fleming of Fleming Group.”

Then, he turned to Trevor and said, “This is Ms. Rodriguez from YodaVision’s R&D department.”

Without looking at Trevor, Celeste simply said, “I know.”

Trevor, however, glanced at her and told Joseph, “No need for introductions- we know each other quite well.”

Joseph paused, looking between the two.

“You know each other well? Sorry, but I don’t see it.”

He didn’t say it aloud, though. Instead, he gave an awkward laugh. “Oh, I see.”

Celeste remained silent.

Trevor chuckled lightly but didn’t say anything more.

At this point, Joseph finally realized–Celeste simply didn’t want to acknowledge Trevor. That made her just like
