Chapter 1067
Eldridge certainly knew.
He was so fawning, so ingratiating. He was definitely overly attentive.
"But after all, I was the one at fault first." He chuckled sheepishly, "My memory of your faces is absolutely indelible."
Lila snorted coldly.
"You're just afraid your dad will ground you and cut off your credit card, so you're playing nice now, right?" Lila retorted without giving him any dignity.
Eldridge frowned, "What are you talking about! I didn't mean that at all."
"Come on, let's have a drink together?" Eldridge smiled at the two of them.
Elizabeth and Lila exchanged a glance.
He still dared to ask them to drink with him?
"This time, I'm asking you to drink just to drink. It's different from being in a bar."
"In the bar, I was trying to pursue you. Now I don't dare to, honestly!" Eldridge raised one hand above his head, as if swearing an oath.
He really wanted to ask for their forgiveness this time.
"We're not ones to hold grudges." Elizabeth was the first to clink glasses with him.
After all, he was the future ruler of Coral Harbor, and there might be times in the future when they would need to interact.
Better to leave the door open.
"Thank you! No wonder Mr. Tudor is interested in you!" Eldridge expressed that Elizabeth was indeed magnanimous.
Then he looked at Lila.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes conveyed his request already — Could Lila also cut him some slack?
Lila was speechless. If she didn't drink, it would make her seem petty.
Lila lightly clinked his glass, which counted as a response.
Eldridge smiled, left a business card, told them to reach out if they needed anything in Coral Harbor, and then returned to his friends.
"That's a politician's kid for you," Lila couldn't help but sigh.
Elizabeth nodded, "The children of government officials are different from the children of the wealthy. Rich kids are wilder, but politicians' children know when to bow their heads."
Otherwise, it wouldn't just ruin him, but also his father.
Having such a son would make his father the subject of gossip wherever he went.
"Elizabeth, what are your plans next? Are you really planning to stay in that lab forever?" Lila cut a small piece of steak and looked up at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth shook her head, "No. Once the SH2N research is on track and shows signs of success, I'll leave."
"Lila, you know, my favorite thing isn't medicine, it isn't research, it's..." Before she could finish, Lila said, "It's design."
Elizabeth looked up at her, somewhat surprised as if to say: You knew?
Lila's eyes curved, very beautifully, "Elizabeth, don't I know you by now? How many years have we known each other?"
Elizabeth fell silent. Looking at Lila like this made her feel even more regretful.
How foolish she was back then, giving up such a good friend like Lila for Esme.
Love really made people stupid.
"Lila, you were the one who was always there for me." Elizabeth couldn't help but sigh.
Lila: "You just figured that out?"
Elizabeth lowered her head, feeling ashamed, "I should have known long ago."
"Do you want to open your own studio?"
"Lila, let me tell you a secret."
Elizabeth suddenly leaned forward, looking a bit mysterious.
Lila looked at Elizabeth. What secret?
"Actually, I have many identities." Elizabeth looked at Lila seriously.
Lila didn't take it seriously, "Like what?"
Lila was still putting food in her mouth.
"For example, Glory M from Base M."
Hearing this, Lila suddenly didn't know how to respond.
What?
Lila's tone was incredulous, "Are you saying that you're Glory M?"
