Chapter 519

Elizabeth was getting to know Sheldon better, and she quickly realized he had a real talent for business. Plus, he was incredibly polite, always making eye contact and truly listening to her. When she shared her ideas for the research institute, he showered her with praise and seemed genuinely excited. His support meant a great deal to her. Elizabeth thought Sheldon would be a great mentor in the future, especially since she’d be dealing with many people at the institute.

What really stood out was that he never interrupted her. He always let her finish before interjecting his thoughts. No wonder Celine had held onto the lab for so long; she had such a solid investor backing her up. Elizabeth was now even more convinced that their research project would be a hit. She was determined to see it through with Celine.

“Elizabeth!” a familiar voice called out from behind. She turned around to see Kieran approaching. “What a coincidence,” she greeted him, though she noted to herself that Kieran had been appearing quite frequently lately.

Kieran nodded and glanced at Sheldon. “Who is this guy? Why haven’t I seen him before?” he wondered.

Elizabeth introduced them, “Sheldon, this is my friend Kieran, the president of the Getty Group.”

Sheldon looked surprised. “I’ve seen him at a party once; he’s quite impressive!”

Kieran smiled and said, “Sheldon, I’ve heard so much about you.”

“You know him?” Elizabeth asked, surprised.

Kieran nodded. He’d heard about a big shot from Stellaport named Sheldon who was making waves in Lisbun. Sheldon had a classy, elegant vibe, but he was tough as nails in his field. Definitely someone to learn from.

“My pleasure,” Sheldon said with a warm smile, extending his hand.

Kieran shook his hand and nodded. “Since you two have business to discuss, I won’t interrupt.”

“See you later, Elizabeth,” Kieran said with a squint and a smile before walking away, glancing back at them as he left. Elizabeth watched him go and frowned at his lingering gaze.

“He’s quite the character,” Sheldon remarked.

“Yeah, out of the four big families in Lisbun, he’s the only one who’s so laid-back. But the Kieran I know is kind of goofy,” Elizabeth said lightly.

Meanwhile, Kieran rushed to the hospital.

“Alexander! I saw Elizabeth! She was having dinner with Sheldon at the restaurant. You know Sheldon, right? The man from Stellaport!” Kieran said seriously.

Alexander responded, “So?”

“Sheldon is classy and gentlemanly. You hurt Elizabeth so badly, do you think she might be charmed by Sheldon for a while? Besides, they have quite an age difference!” Kieran said, slapping his thigh, appearing rather silly in his concern.

Alexander lowered his eyes. He knew Sheldon. Friends who knew him all praised him. He was very emotionally stable and good at complimenting people. Most women who had interacted with Sheldon fell for him.

Would Elizabeth fall for Sheldon too? Alexander wondered.
