True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1520

Gary's appearance caused Celeste to be a little dazed.

"Eason, you should take Celeste and Gary under your care," instructed Alex.

Celeste was dumbfounded.

Eason Trevino was initially responsible for guiding her, but right then, he was required to take Gary under his care as well. She didn't know if Alex's arrangement was intentional. She was somewhat hesitant.

Eason was a young man in his thirties. Not only was he a Cambridge graduate, he's also capable and familiar with the law and culture of England. He would always have a stern face and took every task seriously.

She had been working with him for three days. At one point, a table she created was not well done, so Eason lectured her before proceeding to teach her some of his own methods.

After she used it, she realised that she could obtain twice the result with half the effort.

"No problem." Eason glanced at Gary, then at

Celeste. He then told Alex, "I should warn you that I have strict requirements. I hope Mr. Gary can handle it."

Alex smiled and said, "Continue your work as usual. Guide them properly. They're all smart youngsters."

"Alright, no problem."

"Celeste." Alex shifted his gaze to look at her, "From now on, you will work alongside Gary. The two of you will help each other out. I hope you two can work well together."

Celeste was taken aback. She stared at Alex, who smiled before turning away.

That arrangement caught her off guard, but they were in the company after all. She glanced at Gary.

He walked over and nodded at Eason, "Mr. Trevino, I look forward to learning from you in the future."

"Of course." Eason sized him up before putting on a slight smile, "Let me take a look at your thesis, and I'll assign some tasks for you."

"Sure." Gary nodded and fished his phone out of his pocket, "Mr. Trevino, what's your email address? I'll send it to you."

Eason told him.

Soon, he received Gary's thesis.

He skimmed through it, saying, "Your research topic is similar to Celeste's. Let's deal with it this way. I'll ask her to share her work for the past few days. Take a look at her progress, and I'll assign new tasks for the both of you."

Before Celeste could even speak, Gary flashed her a smile, "Thank you, Miss White."

He was so polite as if he didn't know her at all.

Celeste felt unpleasant at that.

She nodded and smiled formally, "Sure, I'll teach you what Mr. Trevino taught me. I believe a smart man like you will catch up in no time."

"How do you know that I'm smart?" Gary chuckled and asked in return.

Celeste was taken aback by the question, "I can tell."

"Then I guess I am." Gary accepted the compliment by smiling faintly as he said, "I can guarantee you that I can master everything you've learned for the past three days in just a day. I hope I can catch up with you by tomorrow morning so that I won't be a burden."

Upon hearing that, Eason questioned, "I heard that you're proficient in computer science. In fact, this data is simple. I don't quite understand why you have to come all the way to England for the internship."

A trace of nervousness flashed in Gary's eyes as he laughed and brushed it off, "Mr. Trevino, you think too highly of me. That's just a rumour. I'm sure you heard of it from Uncle Logan. Truth be told, Uncle Logan doesn't know me well. I prefer collecting real-time data instead of using technology to steal other's work."

"Well then, work hard," Eason replied upon hearing that.

"Alright."

"Celeste, let Gary use the computer next to you. You can sit next to each other."

"Yes." Although Celeste had agreed to it, her heart was filled with unwillingness.

When Gary took his seat beside her, the two of them began discussing the materials they had learned in the past few days. Celeste felt as if she had gone back in time to four years ago when they had been in school.

At that time, Celeste treated Gary like a friend while Gary didn't get along with the others. Right then, it seemed that they had travelled back in time. Gary didn't talk to anyone else in the company, sitting beside her and listening quietly.

Upon seeing him in his best behaviour, Celeste taught him everything she had learned in the past few days.

Gary indeed had an excellent memory. After a quick glance, he could easily point out the disordered parts of the data she had compiled.

"Look, you made a mistake right here." Gary pointed out, "Did you suffer when you were majoring in statistics? You must have had a hard time compiling the data."

Celeste was stunned. She took a closer look and found out that there was indeed a mistake.

She looked at Gary beside her in surprise and realized that what he had said was correct and accurate.

Her face blushed red as she felt slightly ashamed. She had made a mistake and had not shown those documents to Eason yet. Sighing, she asked, "You've mastered everything, but why are you still here for an internship?"

Gary looked at her and gave her a faint smile, "Why are you so interested in my internship? There's no need for it, right? This is the Jones family's business. The old fogey hopes that I can take over the business in the future. I'm still considering that. I shouldn't give up because of you, right?"

"No, you know that's not what I meant." Celeste was quick to retort, deepening the blush on her face.

"Ahh." Gary nodded as he looked at her seriously, "Miss White, I hope that we can separate our work from our personal matters. I just happened to spot an error in your data, so I pointed it out. Of course, that doesn't mean that I'm capable of everything. You still have to teach me other stuff. Please make sure not to bring your personal feelings into our work. Let's try to work this out, alright?"

She was once again embarrassed.

Celeste was in an awkward position.

Celeste had a feeling that Gary had mentioned that on purpose, but she couldn't refute him. She could only reply with her face flushed red, "Of course, I've always been clear with setting boundaries. Let's continue our study, Mr. Jones."

"Yes, we ought to do so." Gary continued to read through the data.

Gary continued to point out some of Celeste's errors throughout the process.

In the end, Celeste noticed that Gary was even stricter than Eason. He detected all the problems Eason had informed her of and amended them.

It was even more refined than the data obtained from Eason.

Celeste felt ashamed and annoyed at that. Yet, she was impressed. She soon calmed down. She had to admit that it was helpful for Uncle Logan to assign Gary by her side.

Celeste ended up falling silent while Gary kept talking.

Rather than saying that she was the one teaching him, it was more like Gary guiding her.

After a long while, Gary realized that Celeste hadn't said anything in a while as she listened to himself talking in silence. He couldn't help asking, "Am I too talkative?"

Celeste shook her head, "No, you're right. My calculations are disorganized, but I couldn't find a way to improve them. It didn't feel right, and I was unsure of how to amend it. You pointed it out, and I could finally discover a solution to the problem."

Upon hearing that, Gary smiled and looked at her. He continued, as if his words had another underlying meaning to them, "So you admit that it's necessary for me to attend this internship, right?"

"I'm not too sure about that, but you should be the one who knows it best yourself." Her tone was indifferent as she continued to study the data.

She found herself to be rather dumb compared to Gary.

Gary had mentioned that he could learn three days' worth of information in a day. Back then, she did not believe him, but right then, seeing how they had gone through the materials in one morning and how he could identify trials and errors, Celeste was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself in it.

It pissed her off.

"What are we going to do in the afternoon?" Gary looked at her and asked with a cheeky smile, "I seem to have mastered all the materials. There's nothing else left to do, right?"

Celeste held no expression on her face as she replied coldly, "Why don't you ask Mr. Trevino? He should have more arrangements for you."
