Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 124

One Josh was enough to make him anxious, and now there was Hector.

‘Enz, there’s an issue here, can you take a look?”

Enzo was lost in thought.

The staff had to call him several times before he snapped back to reality.

After they finished their work, Hector personally escorted them downstairs.

While Enzo went to get the car, Eliza chatted with Hector for a moment.

n the middle of their conversation, Hector received a phone call and went back to the office. Eliza was left to wait by herself.

I might have been around rush hour, and there was a traffic jam, so Enzo took a while longer.

liza waited for a while, and just then, Medea and Vivian came out.

liza was looking at her phone and didn’t see them, but Vivian spotted her first.

fedea noticed too.

hinking back to how Josh had stood her up for Eliza, her face immediately darkened, and she felt uncomfortable.

ivian felt the same way.

he still believed that the reason she and Baxter hadn’t worked out was because Eliza had interfered. So, she was itching to go over and confront Eliza.

[edea stopped her.

Don’t bother with her.”

Sut…”

he won’t be smug for long,” Medea said calmly.

he had lost to Eliza before, but that was just luck on Eliza’s part.

nce she secured the port reconstruction project, Eliza would have to look up to her for the rest of her life!

ivian slowly calmed down under Medea’s words.

True. As long as my husband supports you, she’ll be the one crying later!” Vivian raised her chin confidently.

t the mention of Calvin, Medea’s mood lifted again.

So, just endure for now.”

Then they left, Vivian intentionally bumped into Eliza

liza’s phone almost flew out of her hand!

he quickly grabbed her phone and saw that the person who had bumped into her didn’t even apologize and just walked away.

What bad manners!”

liza only saw their retreating figures and didn’t recognize Vivian. She didn’t have the time or energy to care about it, so she just muttered her frustration.

Chapter 124

At that moment. Belle sent her a news link.

Eliza clicked on it and found that it was a report on Medea’s previous interview with a magazine.

The content had likely been revised to remove the now–defunct Flying project and focus instead on the port reconstruction project.

Interviews like this were usually pre–approved.

Calvin had allowed her to mention it publicly, which meant he was confident about securing the project.

While Eliza was reading, Belle was already furious.

Those two scumbags! It drives me crazy!”

“He really gave that big project to that bitch! Why doesn’t he just lose everything?”

“Did this Wynn woman save the entire galaxy in her past life to have such luck?”

Eliza couldn’t help but respond, “Yeah, it seems like luck always falls on terrible people, and those people always end up around me.”

Belle was livid and asked Eliza, “Can you steal it? If you can, take the project from them! Make those two suffer!”

Do you want the honest answer?” Eliza replied.

Forget it. I’ll pretend I didn’t ask.” Belle knew how hard it was.

A company that’s been established for less than half a year, with only one project to its name, how could it compete with a listed company like Everest?

liza could imagine how angry Belle was, so she tried to comfort her, “Well, it’s not impossible! But the chances are small.”

So you’re saying you’re planning to go for it?”

Yeah, I’m already preparing, taking a shot at it.”

elle jumped out of bed excitedly, “I knew you could do it! I believe in you! By the way, I’ll transfer the dividend back to you right now! You’re going all in

Maybe leave some aside, what if we lose?” Eliza suggested.

t Belle never listens to advice. “What’s there to be afraid of? We can lose!”

ler words gave Fliza a huge boost of confidence.

11 make sure you don’t lose.”

believe in you! You can do it!”

elle, full of energy, sent a long voice message to entourage Iliza

onsidering it was a public place, Eliza didn’t open it, fearing it might attract attention.

fter a while, Enzo’s car finally arrived He said there had been a traffic jam in the parking lot, which caused the delay

ince Eliza got in the car, Enzo asked if she wanted to grab a late

I was almost dinner time, and Eliza was hungry

nzo asked where she wanted to go.

liza thought for a moment and gave him an address.

I was a small, unassuming pizza shop, a place Eliza hadn’t been to in a while.

Seven Years a Fool, One Day a Queen

Chapter 124

Back when Everest was just starting, Calvint had rented an office in the old commercial building across from this shop.

Eliza had been his secretary and the only person doing all sorts of odd jobs in the company, so she knew the area well.

She used to come to this pizza shop often to buy dinner for Calvin. Sometimes, after late–night shifts, they would both go there for a meal.

When Enzo asked earlier, for some reason, the memory of this place came to mind, and she decided to go there.

The street still looked the same as before, unchanged.

Even the banyan tree next to the pizza shop had grown just as vigorously as before.

Her Facebook profile picture was taken under this banyan tree.

She was facing away from the camera, looking up at the yellow streetlight beside the tree, full of hope for the future.

The photographer had been Calvin.

That day, he had asked her what she was thinking when the photo was taken.

Eliza hadn’t told him then.

He had asked again.

Eliza had said she’d tell him when the time was right, but she had never shared what she was thinking at that moment.

Years later, she still remembered that thought clearly, but there was no need to mention it anymore.

Maybe it was better to bury it forever.

Everything here was still the same.

‘et it felt strangely unfamiliar.

‘erhaps it was because the shop was so old, there weren’t many people inside.

hat’s why Eliza immediately noticed Calvin and Medea sitting inside, eating pizza.

he froze in her tracks, stunned.

he hadn’t expected Calvin to bring Medea here.

nzo, focused on Eliza, didn’t notice what was happening inside. When he saw her stop, he asked, concerned, “What’s wrong?”

liza shook her head. “I suddenly don’t want pizza anymore. Let’s go somewhere else.”

Alright.”
