Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 111

Gideon was in complete disbelief as he stared at his phone screen.

When he saw the exclamation mark pop up in the chat, he froze!

He had no idea when he was blocked.

Helpless, Gideon dialed Calvin’s number for help. “Calvin, Calvin, can you do me a favor?”

Calvin asked what it was about.

Gideon said, “Can you help me contact Eliza? I want to discuss a partnership with her. Ask her to unblock me.”

On the other end, Calvin, sounding somewhat resigned, told him, “I can’t help you. I’m blocked too.”

Gideon was stunned!!!

She blocked you too?”

n Gideon’s mind, Eliza had always been utterly compliant with Calvin, doing whatever he asked!

The idea of blocking someone, especially Calvin, was unfathomable!

even years!

it the end of the day, it was all about getting his attention!

But now Calvin was saying he’d been blocked?

What?

She doesn’t even care about you anymore?”

Calvin’s voice was as neutral as ever, “Yeah.”

Gideon tried to console him, “It’s alright, you’ve got Medea. She’s all that matters!”

Calvin hung up the phone without a word.

Gideon stared at the dial tone, feeling utterly confused.

Was his attempt at comforting him not enough?

Why did it feel like Calvin was upset?

But right now, Gideon had his own problems. He was barely keeping it together and had no time to worry about Calvin’s emotions.

ideon sighed. “I’ve surpassed a week, and she still hasn’t given me the time of day.”

Chapter 111

Eliza furrowed her brows, completely confused. What on earth was Calvin thinking?

She had told him multiple times not to disturb her mother!

Eliza realized she couldn’t keep hiding it from her mother. She planned to tell her that she and Calvin had broken up.

“Mom, actually, I’ve already…”

Just as she was about to continue, Enzo called out, “Eliza, it’s time for us to board!”

Forget it, it was too complicated to explain it over the phone.

Plus, she was about to board, and bringing it up halfway would only make her mother even more worried.

She decided to wait until the New Year to talk about it in detail.

‘It’s fine, Mom, I’m about to board, we’ll talk later. Take care of yourself.”

Eliza hurriedly hung up the phone.

This time, their business trip was to North City to sign a contract with Horizon.

The signing went smoothly.

Mr. West praised Eliza, “When I first met you at the Flying celebratory banquet, I could tell you were different from others.”

fearing this, Eliza remembered how she had first met Mr. West.

fer opportunity to make an impression on him was thanks to Calvin.

f Calvin hadn’t made sure she stood out in front of Mr. West, she wouldn’t have had the chance to secure the collaboration with Horizon.

Otherwise, with her lack of experience and background, how could she have negotiated such a big deal?

In their return journey, Enzo asked, “What are your plans for the New Year?”

I’ll go home and spend it with my mom.”

hat was her only plan for the entire holiday.

Thea said she wants to visit you.”

liza replied, “Sure, they’re always welcome to come over to my house!”

azo controlled his excitement, trying to appear calin.

n reality, it wasn’t Thea who had said that.

I was him who wanted to see her.
