Not long after, Medea replied. “You’re overthinking it. It’s just a normal social interaction Caly has already told me about it

Wait for me, there’s still some paperwork to finish.” Medea was focused on her computer when she greeted Calvin as he entered.

You’re really preparing for grad school?” Calvin asked, picking up a book from the desk and flipping through it.

Medea was confident, “Of course. Academician Adams has a significant influence in the finance industry. If I can become his student, it will greatly benefit my

uture development.”

What she was after wasn’t just the graduate title, but the resources behind Matt.

You’re working so hard?” Calvin raised his eyebrows.

fedea raised her head and smiled, “Because I want to be the one who stands beside you, not like Eliza, who silently worked as your secretary for seven years.”

he then asked, “What’s the matter? Don’t you support me?”

How could I not? I’ll support whatever you do.”

ledea was full of confidence, but when they arrived, they found Eliza and Josh were also there.

liza didn’t even bother to greet them.

he didn’t see the need.

ledea also chose to ignore Eliza, but still greeted Josh with a few words. “Josh, long time no see.”

Mm,” Josh replied coldly.

[att spoke up, “This is strange. Why is everyone here today?”

fedea’s attitude was extremely sincere. “Earlier, at the dinner, I didn’t have the chance to chat with you properly, so I came to visit. I’d like to ask Academician dams for a chance to continue learning from you.”

fatt responded slowly, “Opportunities are for everyone, Ms. Medea. You can just apply through the official website.”

Medea clearly didn’t want to go through such a lengthy process and looked hopefully at Calvin.

Calvin seamlessly continued, “She’s been very busy with work and wasn’t fully prepared. She hopes Academician Adams can give her a chance

This sounded nice.

But Calvin was actually trying to secure a spot for Medea.
