fter Calvin finished his call, Eliza wrapped up the final version of the plan and sent it over to him for review.
alvin looked it over and, with no objections, signed it.
s they finished up, Calvin, out of courtesy, asked, “It’s about time for dinner. Would you like to join us, President Grant?”
iza, also out of politeness, replied, “No thanks, I’m not interested in being a.third wheel. I hope you two enjoy your meal.”
ist as they were leaving the meeting room, Medea walked in.
ie was clearly there to see Calvin.

r him, this was a perfect opportunity to boost Medea.

hen they saw Eliza, they smiled at her.
Ivin was introducing Gabe to Medea.

te had such a brilliant mind, and if she had pushed herself, she could have been making academic breakthroughs by now.
istead, she was forced to network and lower herself for connections,
he could have been the one to form those connections!
ut this man, who had ruined her promising future, not only betrayed her trust but also publicly got engaged to another woman

In fact, there was almost a sense of “disdain.”
Naturally, it made sense.
With someone like Eliza, who had nothing to offer and an empty mind, it was perfectly normal for Academician Matt to look down on her.
Hello, Mr. Serrano. I’m Medea, the executive president of Everup. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
sabe paused wiping his golf club. “Everup?”
Yes.” Medea said confidently.
fter all, Everup was a leading company in the industry, and Gabe couldn’t possibly not know it.
lowever, after hearing her introduction, Gabe’s expression grew colder.
le gave a faint “Mm” and continued wiping his club.
his indifference left Medea at a loss for words, not knowing how to continue the conversation.
At this time, Eliza took the opportunity to greet Gabe, “Hello, Mr. Serrano. I’m Eliza from Apex Investment. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Apex? Is that the investment company behind ASKHEART?” Gabe seemed to have done his homework on Washington’s business scene and knew quite a bit.
Yes.”
abe immediately warmed up, “President Grant, you have great taste! ASKHEART’s development has been unstoppable! During my recent trips abroad, the one ning people asked about the most was ASKHEART. You have no idea how influential ASKHEART has become internationally!”
Mr. Serrano, you flatter me.”
Young people, stop being so humble! To achieve something like this in your twenties, if I were you, I’d be telling everyone I met!” Gabe laughed heartily.
I was dear he was a genuine and outspoken person.
