Chapter 167

Pursue Him if You Like Him 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.” Maya didn’t look too good as she fell silent. Elijah said, “People are

actually exaggerating. Pearson Group has many industries under it, and technology development is

only one part of their diverse fields. Constellation Tech is still quite a distance away from Pearson

Group.” Even when he put it like that, everyone knew he was just being modest. All of them were clear

about Pearson Group’s status, and his company was on par with said company. Obviously, it was

amazing how Constellation Tech was. When she heard that, Zoe felt that she had discovered a

treasure. Elijah was handsome, good-natured, gentlemanly, and tender.

He even managed to greatly expand his company through his efforts, so his capabilities were on par

with that lowlife named Aidan! When they went to the bathroom, Zoe asked, “Nana, what do you think

of Elijah?” Leanna said, “He’s quite nice. I didn’t recognize him when he walked in earlier.” “Well, what

do you think of his character?” She continued nodding. “His character is pretty nice as well. Even when

Maya talked like that, he wasn’t angry at all.” Zoe agreed and continued, “Right? I think so too. These

days, it’s not easy to find a man as good as him in the world. If he has a girlfriend, she must be a happy

woman.” Leanna smiled and encouraged her friend, saying, “If you like Elijah, you should pursue him.”

Zoe became silent, thinking that there was something wrong with their conversation. She coughed. “I’m

not talking about me. Don’t you think—” “Zoe, Leanna.” Elijah’s voice came from somewhere ahead of

them. Zoe looked up and smiled as she waved at him.

“Oh, you’re here too.” Elijah answered, “I came out to answer a call.” After a pause, he continued,

“There were too many people just now, so I didn’t get to greet you properly. Long time no see.” Zoe

noticed that Elijah was looking at Leanna when he said those last few words. She instantly felt as if she

was watching some drama unfold. This is absolutely going to work! Leanna smiled and replied, “Long

time no see.” In actuality, Elijah had gone abroad early on. He left as soon as he dropped out after their

second year of college. Leanna didn’t contact him much during those two years, and their relationship

wasn’t anything special. Zoe pretended to fish out her phone. “Uh, well… I’m going to pick up a call. Go

ahead and talk.” Leanna was speechless. After Zoe hastily left the scene, Elijah began a conversation

with Leanna to disrupt the awkward atmosphere between them.

“I heard before that you’re working at Lux Jewelry. Are you still working there?” “No, I’m now running a

studio with Zoe.” He nodded. “That’s nice. Are you still designing jewelry?” “More or less. We also do

photography and some other stuff.” Elijah smiled as he raised an eyebrow. “Can you give me your

contact information? I might need your help in the future.” “Sure.” Leanna took out her phone, adding,

“You must be busy at work. If you need jewelry designs, you can call me, and I’ll head straight to your

company.” “I’ll take you up on the offer, then.” She smiled. “You’re welcome.” When Aidan arrived, he

saw Leanna chatting happily with a man while her face was glowing with joy. He stopped in his tracks,

his cold features sinking as a chill emanated from him. When Jonathan saw that, he couldn’t help but

take a few steps to the side. Aidan pursed his thin lips slightly and strode forward with his long legs.

“Leanna,” he said coldly. Hearing that, Leanna closed her eyes momentarily and took a shallow breath.

Then, she quickly said to Elijah, “Let’s talk next time.

Something’s come up, so I have to go.” Before Elijah could react, Leanna hastily turned around and

fled the scene. He frowned, then turned to look at the man closing in aggressively. He reached out and

stopped the latter. “President Pearson, what are you doing here?” Aidan stopped walking and gave

Elijah a sideways glance. Jonathan immediately said in a small voice, “President Parker from

Constellation Tech.” Aidan said, “Never heard of it.

” Elijah knew early on that Aidan was haughty, so he didn’t take it personally. He just said, “We met at a

cocktail party before. It was just a fleeting meeting, so it’s only normal for you not to remember me.”

Aidan didn’t have any intention of continuing the conversation. He was about to continue walking when

Elijah stopped him again.
