He gritted his teeth and said, “Our company does need partners to expand the project, but I just can’t stand Jorge…

Celeste knew he was upset because Jorge liked Wynn. But she didn’t care.

She remained calm. “The priority is making sure the project runs smoothly and maximizing our benefits. Everything else is secondary.”

Celeste chuckled. “Alright.” As long as he was happy.

When he saw the caller ID, his expression was a mix of disdain and satisfaction.

Celeste knew it was another familiar face and asked, “Who is it?”

Matthias grinned. “Beck.”

“Also looking to collaborate?”
