Chapter 119

Eliza stared at the umbrella that was handed to her for several seconds.

Apart from the sound of the rain, the scene was silent.

Vivian’s eyes were almost burning with anger.

In contrast, Medea remained calm.

She must have enough confidence in the relationship between her and Calvin, which allowed her to remain composed.

Eliza slowly shifted her gaze from the umbrella up to Calvin’s face, and with a light, mocking smile, her eyes looked at him as if she were looking at a dog.

This scene reminded her of the time at Helios Group’s factory when Calvin only held the umbrella for Medea and left her behind.

Back then, she had sighed and thought that a person couldn’t hold an umbrella for two people at once.

And now…

At that moment, Hector also came over with an umbrella and explained to Eliza.

Miss Grant, I managed to get an umbrella, but there’s only one. If you don’t mind, we can share it and head back together.”

liza directly ignored the umbrella Calvin offered and turned to Hector with a friendly smile. “I don’t mind.”

When she turned back to look at Calvin, her gaze and tone were equally cold. “Sorry, I don’t need it.”

Vivian would tirelessly talk about it.

Hector received a call from Eliza and personally came downstairs to meet her.

As the elevator doors opened, he saw Medea inside and politely nodded at her.

Medea paused for a moment before speaking, “Mr. Blaine, I’m having dinner with the business department director tonight. Would you like to join us?”

Hector politely declined. “No, I have another engagement.”

This was the second time he had turned down her invitation.

Medea’s eyes dimmed, and she asked him, “Are you angry with me?”

“Miss Wynn, why would you say that?” Hector asked with an indifferent expression.

“The matchmaker arranged for us to meet, and I was willing to try getting to know you. But I’ve realized we’re not compatible, so I decided not to pursue it further. However, I think we can still be friends,” Medea explained patiently.

Hector’s pitch–black eyes showed no emotion, his tone even colder than before. “We are indeed not compatible.”

Medea was about to say something else when the elevator doors on the other side opened, and Eliza arrived.

Hector immediately shifted his emotions and smiled as he explained to Eliza, “I was just about to come downstairs to meet you.”

‘It’s not like it’s my first time here. Why is Director Blaine being so polite?”

This time, Eliza came with Enzo, and she took the initiative to introduce them.

Hector had already heard of Enzo’s name and was enthusiastic in shaking his hand.

Medea’s elevator continued its descent.

As the doors closed, Vivian couldn’t hold back any longer.

This Hector is really putting on an act! When he was chasing after you, he was so enthusiastic. Now that you’ve rejected him, he’s acting all aloof!”

Don’t say that again,” Medea stopped her with a look. “Not in front of Calv, and not in front of Mr. Blaine, either!”

Vivian stuck out her tongue. “I know, you’re afraid Calv will get jealous. I’m just complaining behind your back.”

No matter what, Hector is now a department head, and we’ll have to deal with him more often. It’s important to maintain a good relationship with him. So emember what should be said and what shouldn’t,” Medea reminded Vivian seriously.

Got it, cousin.”

Only then did Medea feel at ease.

The reason she repeatedly reminded Vivian was that she was worried she might accidentally slip up.

In truth, she and Hector had only been on one blind date.

Hector hadn’t really pursued her.

On the contrary, he was quite distant.

She had exaggerated things to save face.

She didn’t feel any spark during their blind date.

Mainly, Hector didn’t have a strong background, and his position was low.

Besides being good looking, there wasn’t much else to him.

But she didn’t expect Hector to get promoted so quickly in such a short time.

Though he was still a middle–ranking official, he was young, and his future development potential was huge.

So Medea was determined to cultivate a good relationship with him.

“I just can’t stand that Eliza,” Vivian couldn’t help but complain for Medea. “She made you suffer such a big loss, and luckily Calv is protecting you.”

Medea acted calm on the surface, but inside, she cared more than anyone else.

Her mother had also been secretly mocked because of this incident.

Fortunately, Calvin had always stood by her and had given her the big port renovation project.

Once this project was completed, not only could she clear her name,

But those who secretly mocked her would start to see her in a new light.

That’s why Medea was especially focused on the port renovation project, taking part in every step and working harder than anyone else.

She told Vivian, “Our top priority right now is to secure the port renovation project, and everything else can wait.”

his grudge would definitely be repaid, but not now.

Vivian also knew what to prioritize. “Yes! Once you secure this big project, make a name for yourself, and establish your position, those people who have been aughing at you will shut their mouths! Once you marry Calv, they’ll all come groveling to you.”

There will be that day.” Medea said confidently.

It’s inevitable! Caly has been supporting you, helping you. Isn’t that to make you stand taller and be worthy of standing by his side? What do they call it online?”

Man’s highest form of love for a woman is ‘responsibility‘ and ‘support‘ without asking for an outcome. He will support you, teach you survival skills hand in and, support your growth with actions, and stand by you when you’re in trouble.”

Isn’t that exactly describing Calv?”

Medea’s eyes were filled with a smile. “That’s why I can’t let him lose. I will definitely secure this project!”

ig projects like the port renovation were only prepared for in advance by those who knew the inside story.

ut the government would still openly announce a public tender, release the tender notice, hold a tender meeting, etc.

On the day of the tender meeting, Fliza showed up.

Medea and Vivian sat at the front with confidence

But when they saw Eliza, the two of them couldn’t help but frown.

What are you doing here?” Vivian asked rudely, as if she were the host of the tender meeting “Do you even quality to be here ?”

Eliza glanced at Medea behind her.

seeing that Medea didn’t intend to stop Vivian, she didn’t hold back. “Whether I qualify or not isn’t for you to decide. Instead of wasting time on others, why don’t you remind your cousin to pay the compensation quickly? Don’t drag it to court. It’ll be so embarrassing.”
