Chapter 256

ifter saying this, Eliza herself fell silent.

ecause she remembered that a long time ago, Belle had said the same words to her.

he never expected that after so much time had passed, she would now be the one advising others from an observer’s perspective.

adie didn’t know what Eliza was thinking and continued on her own, “He won’t let me lose.”

es, that was how she had replied back then too.

ove truly makes people blind.

nd so, she really didn’t want it anymore.

idn’t want it from anyone!

ɔmpletely disillusioned!

his thing only exists in novels and TV shows.

boking back at the people around her, it seemed few were happy because of love.

Working very late tonight?” Sadie asked, frowning at the thick stack of files on her desk.

Yes.” She had to finish all of these, then devote herself wholeheartedly to the listing roadshow.

Then I’ll stay with you.”

fter saying this, Sadie spontaneously started helping Eliza organize the files on the desk.

liza went back to being busy.

fter Sadie finished tidying up, she sat to the side and checked Eliza’s schedule for the next few days.

he looked to see if any adjustments could be made to squeeze out some time for Eliza to catch her breath.

he was too tired, and Sadie felt heartache seeing it.

ut after trying for a long time, she found she couldn’t squeeze out any time at all.

adie complained, “Comparing people really can make you furious! Eliza, you’re busy to the point of chaos, while some people still have time to go on vacation nd enjoy themselves,”

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.

She regretted that her mouth was faster than her brain, a babit she always failed to correct

In the end, she angrily slapped her own mouth.

Eliza was also helpless. “Are you talking about Medea going on vacation? I already knew

After all, she still had Calvin on Facebook.

Three days ago, Calvin posted a status.

“All is well.”

The attached picture was a seaside photo, clearly from a vacation.

le was someone who barely ever posted statuses. On the rare occasion he did, there was always a long string of comments underneath, making it hard not to

otice.

he annoying thing was, both of them moved in financial circles and had too many mutual friends.

specially Gideon!

e left several excited comments underneath.

e only person Calvin replied to was Gideon: “Do you enjoy being a third wheel that much?”

is indirectly indicated he went on vacation with Medea.

iza’s focus wasn’t on that.

hen she saw this status, the first thought in her mind was:

seems he has recovered well.

e last bit of that sense of indebtedness vanished from Eliza’s heart.

‘r mind was completely filled with matters of the first listing roadshow.

is was the most important part of ASKHEART’s listing plan, and they had to take it seriously.

za personally communicated every detail, from the timing to the venue, from the guests to the media, confirming everything herself.

ter everything was ready, Eliza finally breathed half a sigh of relief.

zo looked at her, noticing the weariness in her appearance from all the recent busyness, and felt a pang of sympathy.

u’ve worked hard.”

bu too.” Eliza also reminded him, “This roadshow is extremely important for ASKHEART’s listing. Make sure you have your speech memorized thoroughly.

d no mistakes can occur.”

sw about this: imagine this entire conference room as tomorrow’s roadshow venue, filled with people and various media outlets Let’s simulate an

promptu speech.”

e knew Enzo easily got nervous in front of large audiences, so she was doing desensitization training with him

zo solemnly stepped onto the platform and began the simulation.

iza took out her one, acting as temporary media, taking photos of Enzo,

ey went back and forth like this several times to ensure nothing would go wrong

hat last run was excellent! Maintain that state tomorrow!

he look Enzo gave Eliza held gratitude, as well as other emotions bilding up inable

e desperately suppressed his emotions, trying to speak with as cabin a tone as possilde, and called out to her, fica if they satudy po palim ould you reconsider what I said before?”

e was referring to his previous confession

liza was still watching the video she had just recorded and asked blankly upon hearing this, “What?”

Nothing.” That little bit of courage in Enzo dissipated again.

a thought now warn

thought perhaps now wasn’t the right time.

Chapter 256

It wouldn’t be too late to speak up after ASKHEART was truly listed.

Better than letting Eliza think he was distracted by other matters.

The top priority right now was ASKHEART’s listing!

liza’s attention was entirely on this matter, with no spare capacity to think about anything else.

ast after she confirmed every detail, on the night before the roadshow at 10 PM, she received a temporary notification that there was a problem with the Dadshow venue.

he large venue they had chosen had already been rented out, leaving only the smaller hall next to it available for rent.

adie was frantic upon hearing this. “What do you mean it’s already been rented out? We communicated half a month ago! Why wasn’t it mentioned then? ou’re only telling us now, the day before we’re supposed to use it? Is that reasonable?”

he person responsible for coordination was very indifferent. “There was a slip–up in communication. There’s nothing that can be done about it.”

Can a simple nothing can be done‘ solve the problem? Do you know we’ve already sent out the invitations!”

he problem has already occurred. Our proposed solution is to rent the smaller venue to you for free. It’s right next door anyway, you can just inform your

vitees.”

‘ou…”

st as Sadie was about to lose her temper, the other party directly hung up.

iza frowned and asked her, “What’s wrong?”

tually, she had already grasped the gist from the conversation, but she asked anyway.

ter hearing Sadie’s account, Eliza immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go there myself. You all prepare a backup plan.”

is almost 11 PM! Where are you going?”

die was extremely anxious,

iza left Apex without looking back, instructing Kayn to take her directly to Washington University.

ie had chosen this location for the roadshow because university students were more conducive to promoting Al and could also attract academic talent. their grificant presence online would help with word of mouth and targeted promotion.

siversity students often have free time, are concentrated, have a strong desire to share, and are main users of social media, which is beneficial for Whee iblioty and brand diffusion

it was an excellent venue, and she couldn’t give up on it, she wanted to try again.

the time they arrived, it was almost midnight

iza used a temporary pass to enter the school and headed straight for Hall A

pon arrival, she discovered that the directional signs Apex had custom made were thrown in the trash

their place were directional signs for Bosi Technology’s roadshow!

Liza’s steps halted. She stood in front of the sign, staring intently at those four characters

alling us in to work overtime in the middle of the night, and not even giving us a decent attitude. They’re the ones who changed the venue last minute, yet ey act all high and mighty with us?”

nother one was also mad. “Money is hard to earn.”

yn went over, offered a cigarette to one of them, and tried to get friendly. “Bro, weren’t you originally at a different venue?”

o, originally it was at a five–star hotel. We got notified tonight to change it to here. Annoying, right?”

hat is pretty annoying,” Kayn agreed.

za heard this clearly and immediately understood: Medea was snatching things away again!
