Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 167

Along with Elijah's arrival, a subtle change occurred in the atmosphere of the private room.

The man who had been boasting about his multi-million deal was now sipping water with all his might in an attempt to hide the awkwardness on his face.

Elijah didn't say anything as he simply sat there, but there was a majestic aura about him even in his smallest movements, which surpassed the others by a mile. If anyone kept boasting in front of him, they'd be overestimating themselves.

Sometime later, Maya asked, "What have you been doing recently, Elijah? I haven't heard from you in a while. I heard that you went overseas too; when did you come back?"

He nodded, smiling as he said, "I came back last year, and I've established a little company of my own."

"I see." Maya lowered her gaze a little, expressing scorn as she crossed her arms. Hints of pride appeared on her face as she said, "It's not easy to start your own business these days. What's your company called? My husband is an executive at a large company, so I can mention your company when I get back. If his company has any projects in the future, he might prioritize yours first."

Maya's words were quite insulting, and Zoe almost couldn't control herself. The few men at their table also expressed dissatisfaction, but Elijah still maintained a faint and polite smile good-naturedly. He then said quietly, "Thank you for your concern, but my company is doing alright. There is no need to trouble you."

Maya noticed his decent attitude and replied, "Alright. Since we used to be classmates, just come to me if your company is in trouble. Don't be shy to ask for help; we're all friends here, after all."

Another man quickly said, "Elijah, what's your company called? Maybe we can have a visit next time. It's my first time knowing someone who has established a company; does it feel awesome to be a boss?"

Elijah smiled and said, "You're welcome anytime."

As he spoke, Elijah took out a name card and passed it to the man who had just spoken.

The man looked at the gold lettering on the name card as he read aloud, "Constellation Tech…"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person beside him immediately leaned in. "What the hell; it's really Constellation Tech!" With that, he looked at Elijah in disbelief. "You're the one who set up Constellation Tech?"

Before Elijah could answer, Maya said in disdain, "Is that a great company?"

"It's more than good! Constellation Tech was originally founded abroad, and ever since it moved into the local market last year, it has been growing stronger ever since. Now, it's only second to Pearson Group in the industry. You know what that means."
