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

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

Celeste gave a slight nod.

“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.”

Celeste remained silent.

Trevor chuckled lightly but didn’t say anything more.
