Matilda?” Eliza called out in surprise.

Matilda also stood up, scratching her head and said, “I’ve left the company. Don’t call me Matilda.”

learing this, Eliza froze for a moment. She hadn’t expected Matilda to leave Everest.

Matilda had been a veteran at Everest, with a sharp eye and strong abilities. It was no surprise that she had become the director of the second investment lepartment.

After chatting with her for a while, Eliza found out that dhe was here to look for a job! This surprised her, but she also had her doubts. “With your experience nd qualifications, you could easily work for a bigger, better company, or even start your own business. Why come to Apex?”

Because I can’t swallow this anger!” Matilda said, not hiding anything from Eliza. “You must have heard, right? President Young gave the port renovation roject to Medea.”

Yes, I heard,” Eliza said sympathetically.

Matilda continued, “I’ve put so much effort into this project. You know better than anyone. But President Young took it without any reason. I really can’t

wallow this! So, I came to you!”

My friend told me you’re competing for the project, so I came here. I’m not sure if you would take me in, Eliza?”

liza didn’t ask who Matilda’s friend was.

fter all, Matilda had been in the investment business for so long, she had connections, and knowing some insider information was normal. Besides, Matilda

vas a rare talent, and Eliza had no reason not to recruit him.

o she stood up, shook her hand, and said, “Coming to me isn’t about me taking you in. It’s about us fighting side by side. Welcome to Apex!”

Matilda’s joining meant that Apex’s bid for the port renovation project was no longer a secret. Medea was the first to hear the news.

When she heard it, she scoffed in disdain.

t wasn’t that she looked down on Eliza, but Eliza was too overconfident.

he thought that since she had made a successful project, she could do anything?

ven Baxter didn’t think highly of her and asked Calvin with concern, “Eliza’s ambition is too big, right? Shouldn’t you advise her against it?”

Why should I advise her?” Calvin said lazily, playing cards, completely uninterested in Eliza’s matters.

Medea, listening to this, couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Baxter threw down a big card and said, “You two have been together for seven years. She finally did a good project and stood firm. Why not advise her not to ake this risk? With ‘ASKHEART, she could live in wealth for ten years.”

Calvin shuffled the cards and used a straight flush to beat Baxter’s big card. “We were only together for seven years, not seven years of love. Whether she’s good or bad has nothing to do with me.”

At that moment, Baxter was speechless.

Medea was in a good mood. “Ah, Calv, you broke up the whole game. How are we going to play now?”

Calvin casually threw the cards down and said, “I’m done. Let’s go. You said you wanted to eat your mom’s cooking Ill go with you

“Okay!”

The two of them happily left, leaving Baxter behind, sighing.

Chapter 128

She had thought about asking Grayson for help, but then realized that accepting his investment would inevitably link her to Calvin. After all, Younge’s company would eventually be handed over to Calvin.

So Eliza gave up on that idea.

“We’ll find a way. Eat something first.” Sadie served her a stomach–warming soup.

Eliza hadn’t felt any stomach pain for a long time, and she had to thank Sadie for that.

she had just finished the soup when Grayson called her, asking her to attend the Jiang Business Association dinner on his behalf.

He mentioned the people who would be attending, and Eliza immediately understood Grayson’s intention.

t seemed like he had guessed she didn’t want to be involved with the He family, so he tried to introduce other investors to her.

lis effort was thoughtful.
