Judging by the timeline, they should have encountered each other.

Estrella spotted the soup on his desk with a quick glance. “Looks like I arrived at the perfect moment,” she remarked breezily.

Estrella said, “No, don’t waste the effort she put in.” As she spoke, she took the insulated thermos and said, “Let me see if I could learn a thing or two.”

Jason laughed out loud, wrapping his arms around her waist and giving it a playful squeeze. “Like they say, ‘birds of a feather.’ You know me too well.”
