Eliza hadn’t expected to run into Hector. Thank you.”

“Where’s the umbrella I gave you?” Hector asked, noticing the rain was getting heavier.

‘It’s in my bag. I always carry it with me, very convenient.” Eliza patted her bag in response.

Hector’s eyes brightened with a smile. “Then why didn’t you use it?”

I thought the rain wouldn’t reach me.”

Well, next time be more careful. While the rain isn’t cold, it’s still uncomfortable,” he said with a gentle reminder.

They didn’t talk much before Sadie arrived.

liza was about to return the coat to Hector, but he said,

Just keep it. Return it to me next time.”

ince Sadie still had a car waiting, Eliza didn’t want to delay and after saying goodbye to Hector, she got into the car and left.

hat evening, after taking a shower, Eliza worked overtime to refine the business plan.

he last time she went to S City to meet Camille, it was because she hadn’t prepared properly and nearly lost Camille’s investment.

he absolutely wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. This was Eliza’s principle when it came to work.

he had a lot of experience writing business plans.

ut at the start, she had also made the same mistake as others–she liked to tell emotional stories.

wasn’t until Calvin publicly criticized her at the investment meeting, saying her plan wasn’t a business plan but a collection of jokes, that she realized her úistake. He even suggested she submit it to some magazines for a few cents.

hat day, Eliza cried from anger, locked herself in the bathroom for a long time, and didn’t talk to Calvin for a long time after.

1 her memory, that was the only time Calvin ever apologized to her.

le brought her food to her rented apartment, the only time he’d visited her apartment in seven years.

hat night, he patiently coaxed her, fed her both food and comfort, and then personally taught her how to write a business plan, telling her that a business plan hould persuade with data, not with emotional stories…

ut afterward, he complained that her apartment was too small and the bed too hard!

nd after that, he never visited again.

liza worked on the business plan until 10 p.in. when Sadie sent her a message, saying she had sent food to her. She should eat before getting back to work

liza was puzzled, “How did you know I’m working overtime?”

adie replied, “I don’t even have to think. I know you’re definitely working on the business plan. That’s why I sent you food. Eat and then get back to work. ‘ou’ve finally taken care of your stomach, don’t mess it up again.”

Alright.”

laving such a thoughtful secretary was truly nice.

Chapter 130

She hadn’t eaten much at the dinner, so she was really hungry now.

Sadie’s food arrived at the perfect time.

The next day, she met with Mr. Woods from the business association to discuss the project.

After reviewing the business plan, Mr. Woods was indeed interested.

However, he also considered the risks of the project and made a request of Eliza.

After the dinner, Eliza sent a message to Enzo, “It’s settled on my end, how’s your progress?”

Ever since she found out Eliza wanted to bid for the port renovation project, Enzo had been working overtime, using the powerful algorithm technology of ASKHEART to enrich the project’s core, adding leverage to Eliza’s bid.

Enzo quickly replied, “Everything’s going smoothly.”

Eliza immediately felt confident.

Sadie sent another message, reminding her to take her medicine.

t was the medication prescribed by Dr. Shaw to help regulate her body.

Eliza opened her thermos, only to find there was no water left. She asked the restaurant service for some hot water.

The waiter gave her a cup with a little too much water and warned her to be careful not to burn herself.

liza thanked the waiter, sat down on a chair in the waiting area, and planned to wait until the water cooled before taking her medicine.

While waiting, she sent another message to Matilda to check on his progress.

he was so focused that she didn’t notice a child suddenly running out, rushing toward her.

Worried the hot water might spill on the child, she quickly stepped aside.

The water in the cup sloshed out and spilled onto the back of her hand.

he winced from the burn but instinctively grabbed the child by the collar to prevent him from running into a flowerpot.

is a result, the child fell to the ground and immediately started wailing.

The child’s mother rushed out, saw the child crying, and then saw Eliza holding the child by the collar. She immediately changed her expression and yelled at liza, “How can you be so uncivilized, bullying a child like that? You look decent, but you’re shameless!”

The sudden insult left Eliza stunned.

The was still processing the burn on her hand and didn’t immediately react.

By the time she was ready to retort, a familiar, cold voice rang out, “You’re ugly enough, but are your eyes blind? Do you have a brain? Can’t you see that she ust saved your son’s life?”

The woman causing the scene was stunned by the sudden reprimand from the man.

Calvin ignored the woman, walked over, and grabbed Eliza’s wrist to check the burn.

Eliza was even more stunned.

What was Calvin doing?

Was he standing up for her?

Did he really need to intervene in this?

“There’s a slight burn, you should go to the hospital.” Calvin examined Eliza’s hand, his expression colder than before.

He spoke in a commanding tone.

Eliza immediately pulled her hand back, her attitude cold.

“I don’t need you to worry.”

Seeing that Calvin wasn’t on her side, the woman became even bolder, “If my son hadn’t run, he wouldn’t have fallen. If she hadn’t grabbed him, he wouldn’t have tripped!”

The child, with his mother backing him, cried even louder, his wailing filling the entire restaurant.
