Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel 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."

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."
