Chapter 236

The dinner was indeed peaceful and harmonious.

Because Calvin never showed up.

liza ate well, finishing a second bowl of rice.

When she got home, she found that Belle hadn’t returned yet, so she called her.

Belle’s background noise was a bit loud, indicating she was still out.

Babe, the dinner is still going on. I’ll probably be very late. Don’t wait for me; go to bed early.”

elle cupped the phone in her hand and hid in a corner while answering Eliza’s call.

liza asked, “You didn’t drink, right?”

No, we had elders present, don’t worry.”

learing this, Eliza was relieved. Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Belle exclaim, “What the hell!”

What’s wrong?” Eliza frowned.

I saw bitch Med.” Belle replied with a teasing tone.

liza froze.

he should’ve just hung up the phone.

Jgh, broad daylight, and there she is, adjusting her clothes while walking back from the garden. Her lipstick’s all smudged. How desperate is she?”

liza sighed helplessly. “Were you at a dinner, or was it a live broadcast?”

I had a meal, but I also got a free live show. Too bad it wasn’t rated R,” Belle lamented, clearly disappointed.

Enjoy the show. I’m going to take a shower.”

liza was no longer interested in these trivial matters.

he hung up and headed straight to the bathroom. After showering, she returned to find several new messages from Belle.

Holy crap! bitch Med just went inside, and then Calvin came back through the garden too. Are they both that desperate?”

Heavens, are they using the garden as their bed? At any time, anywhere, just letting louse?

liza gave a long exhale. Tocus on your meal.”

here was no reply from Belle, likely because she was eating now.

liza put her phone down and got back to work, answering some emails.

At 10 pm, Mrs. Adams called, asking when the strategic cooperation signing ceremony between Broadtech, tabe, and Liang Zhengyuan would be schedule

BroadTech is just at the approval stage, and with the integration and implementation. It won’t be ready for at least a month Eliza repliest.

Mrs. Adams’s tone grew heavier. “Can it be faster?”

Eliza’s heart sank.

Mrs. Adams continued. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until then.”

Medea came home late once again, but this time, Regina didn’t reprimand her. Instead, she greeted her with a smile. “Back already?”

“Yeah,” Medea replied lazily, her voice heavy from alcohol, her steps unsteady.

Regina had the maid prepare a cup of honey water for her.

‘I heard about the high–temperature superconducting project. It seems that Calvin really doesn’t hold anything back for you.”

After Medea’s recent setbacks, Regina had been worried and couldn’t sleep, but now, with this new development, her worries were somewhat eased.

Medea leaned back comfortably on the sofa. “I told you, Calvin really cares about me. You just wouldn’t believe it.”

I’m just concerned about you,”

Regina replied, then asked, “Didn’t you discuss living together with Calvin? Why are you back so soon?”

Medea stretched out, looking incredibly relaxed. “I was just about to tell you this. Calvin tore down his house and is rebuilding it. So for now, he’s living at the ompany, and it’s inconvenient.”

Tore down his house?” Regina looked confused.

Yeah, because the house was decorated by Eliza, and Calvin thought I might be uncomfortable with it. So, he took the initiative to tear it down and rebuild it

ccording to my preferences,” Medea explained.

egina breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s clear that Calvin is really thoughtful and attentive to you. I guess I was overthinking things.”

fedea understood her concerns. After all, she herself had been paranoid before.

Then Eliza went to Everup to handle the work communication, Calvin had praised her so much that it gave Medea a sense of crisis.

isheartened.

was a huge blow when she learned that Eliza had also received an offer from WT Business School.

he briefly panicked, especially when she found out Eliza was preparing for the listing of ASKHEART.

hat’s when Medea realized that Eliza’s rise wasn’t just luck. It was her real ability!

o, she began to feel the pressure, afraid that Calvin would once again be drawn to Eliza.

fter all, Calvin had looked at Eliza with admiration several times in front of her.

hen, that very afternoon, Calvin took her to a dinner where he introduced her to several business glonts and gave her a bigger more promising project

hat was when Meden realized that Calvin’s feelings for her were deeper and stronger than she had imagined

ideon had said that Calvin had loved her for seven years. At the time, she hadn’t believed it

efore, Calvin hadn’t been warm to her. His gaze was cold, distant.

I wasn’t until a year ago, when her relationship with Josh started to deteriorate, that calvin began to show interes

Now, calculating the time, it all added up. He had waited for her for six years

so in Calvin’s heart, she was someone truly special.

As for Eliza, Calvin’s admiration for her was likely just that–admiration, nothing more

Regina had also heard the news about ASKHEARTS upcoming listing from the socialite circle.

She was still uncomfortable about it, so she reminded Medea, “Since Calvin has given you such a big project, you can’t afford to make any mistakes this time. If you mess up again, you’ll be overshadowed by that Eliza.”

Medea smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, she won’t get that chance. Let her enjoy her last moments of glory.”

After that, the two of them stopped talking about Eliza and shifted to discussing the renovation.

It was as though Eliza’s situation no longer mattered to them, and she was no longer worth their attention.

The next morning, Eliza got up and discovered that Belle had yet to return home.

When she tried calling, no one answered. She had no idea what she was up to.

At noon, she had to go to the government office to follow up on BroadTech’s merger with Hector.

When she arrived, she learned that Hector had a meeting to attend. According to his assistant, the meeting was about the high–temperature superconducting roject

¡ince it was a high–tech project, the government was providing strong support.

The news had just started spreading yesterday, and today, the government was already holding a meeting about it.

t seemed that Calvin was very well prepared for this.

Since Hector had a meeting, Eliza decided to come back in the afternoon.

ust as she was about to leave, a group of people walked in.

fector led the way, followed by Calvin and Medea, along with a few others.

The group, surrounded by people, walked towards the meeting room.

When Calvin saw Eliza, his gaze flickered for a brief moment, but he quickly looked away.

Medea, who was holding his arm, also gave Eliza a cold glance.

Only Hector stopped and said a few words.
