This kind of pastry wouldn’t be available in a hotel; it had to be bought from outside.
This showed that calvin had prepared well in advance today.
The extent of his attentiveness to Medea wasn’t something Eliza was experiencing for the first time.
But her understanding was being refreshed again and again.
Any request Medea had, he would fulfill it at the first opportunity.
ven if he clearly knew it was something Eliza was striving to obtain.
Try these pastries,” Calvin invited after she sat down.
liza remained unmoved. “Let’s skip these formalities.”
fearing this, Calvin’s eyebrow lifted slightly, making his eyes appear bright and profound. His voice seemed to carry a faint trace of laughter.
You’ve already acquired the awareness of a capitalist.”
Calm, rational.
As long as it’s beneficial, it’s acceptable.
liza smiled faintly. “Thank you for the praise, President Young.”
Then, Calvin got down to business. “You name the terms. As long as they are within a reasonable range, I will consider them.”
A very business–like tone, unwilling to waste time.
liza didn’t beat around the bush either. “All resources of Everup to be shared with BroadTech.”
Calvin’s hand, holding the teacup, paused. Then he let out a soft laugh.
You really aren’t holding back at all.”
liza smiled faintly. “This is a great opportunity for President Young to express love for President Wynn. An opportunity not to be missed.”

After all, love is priceless. President Young is the one gaining.”

liza was no longer surprised.
ince it was settled, she stood up promptly. “Then I wish President Young and President Wynn a long and lasting relationship.”
Calvin’s eyes lifted slightly at the corners, his tone somewhat casual. “Thank you.”
When the two returned to the private room, Medea and President Holland were chatting animatedly.
I never thought we were actually alumni. We should definitely have a drink then.”
President Holland also laughed heartily. “We certainly should have a drink.”
Calvin sat down and asked, “What are you talking about so happily?”
