Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132

Eliza was a woman of her word.

When Calvin transferred the money to her, she instantly accepted it and blocked him–no delay, not even for a second!

nstead of the espionage phone call from Calvin bothering her, it actually gave her a boost of energy. She could now fully immerse herself in the project.

or the next week, Eliza was busy nonstop, running between Apex, ASKHEART, and government’s three key points.

During this time, she inevitably ran into Medea, but neither of them acknowledged the other.

hey both treated each other like air!

he also ran into Calvin a few times, but almost always when he was picking up Medea.

liza didn’t notice, but Matilda did.

I heard Medea is really focused on this project. She’s been working overtime, following up on the progress, and even entertaining people everywhere.”

Calvin is also paying attention, staying with her the whole time. To make it easier for her to rest while working overtime, he even let her sleep in his office’s

est room.”

liza sneered inwardly after hearing this.

e wasn’t sleeping in the rest room, but was definitely sleeping with someone.

hat rest room, Eliza, who had been the overtime queen at Everest for seven years, had never once slept in.

hat did Calvin say back then?

fraid it would create a bad impression.

e was worried about his “devoted man” image, wasn’t he?

ow, he could openly tell Medea,

his rest room has only ever been used by you, the one woman.”

uite the domineering CEO move, right?

ouldn’t Medea be touched to death?

iza’s mind wandered for a moment as she amused herself with this fantasy of a CEO romance plot.

atilda asked her, “What are you laughing at?”

iza replied, “I just thought of something dirty that made me laugh.”

atilda was confused. “Dirty things can make people laugh?”

he wondered if Eliza had become obsessed with overtime.

By the way, I ran into Medea in the elevator this morning She’s probably here to do due diligence for SciGames.”

iGames and Apex shared the same building, so it was likely they’d bump into each other

[atilda continued, “I remember you were the one working on this project before, but it got rejected by her. I don’t know why she picked it up again”

liza smiled lightly. “She just likes picking up trash”

Seven Years a Fool. One Day a Queen

Chapter 132

Matilda fell silent.

On the day of the bidding, the weather was clear, a rare sunny day in Washington.

Hector sent Eliza a video message early in the morning, showing a magpie he had seen at the office entrance.

He thought it was a good omen, so he filmed it and sent it to her, wishing her good luck.

Eliza hadn’t expected someone as upright as Hector to believe in such things.

But the meaning behind it was indeed good.

When she arrived at Apex, Sadie delivered the breakfast for the day.

Today’s victory cake! Eat it, and you’re guaranteed to win!”

“You’re superstitious too?”

Sadie explained, “This isn’t superstition, it’s a blessing!”

If it’s a blessing, she had to accept it, but seeing how the pastries were haphazardly packed, she couldn’t help but chuckle. “Your soup and cooking skills are pretty good, but your pastry skills need work.”

Sadie blushed. “I tried my best.”

Thank you.” Eliza still ate it, and it actually tasted fine.

At 10 a.m., Eliza, Matilda, and Enzo arrived at the bidding location, the government’s Engineering Trading Center.

As they signed in, the Everest team also arrived at the trading center.

It was a grand affair.

A large crowd of people came in,

Gideon was among them, though it was unclear whether he had ordered champagne this time.

Because the group made such a ruckus when they entered, Eliza glanced in their direction.

The people looked relaxed, probably confident in Medea’s abilities.

It made sense. When you had someone like Calvin behind you, confidence was natural,

Eliza withdrew her gaze and led her group into the conference hall to await the results.

Regina also showed up this time.

After the celebration banquet, Regina had kept a low profile for a long time.

But when Medea told her that Calvin had given her a trillion dollar project and that she was certain to win, Regina started to regain her public presence.

Medea had asked Vivian to accompany her, and Vivian filled Regina in on the gossip.

“That woman just now is Eliza.”

Regina knew that Eliza was an investor for ASKHEART and the person who stole the spotlight from Medea at the Flying celebration banquet.

But she didn’t know about the relationship between Eliza and Calvin.

Medea had never told her about it. Since her return, Calvin had been very good to her.

ivian had been working at Everest for some time and knew a little about Eliza and Calvin’s relationship.

o she shared everything she knew with Regina.

You mean, Calvin kept her around for seven years?” Regina’s expression darkened.

ivian nodded. “Yes, but Calvin doesn’t care about her, he just treats her as a tool. See? Once my cousin returned, Calvin kicked her out of Everest.”

egina, as the older one, naturally had a longer–term perspective. “Seven years isn’t a short time.”

man who keeps a woman around for seven years is no simple person.

ver there, after Calvin and Medea finished signing in, they came over to bring Regina into the conference hall.

he seating was arranged in order of check–in, and there was another company participating in the bidding ahead of Apex and Everest.

> Eliza’s surprise, the person was actually the father of the little troublemaker who had burned her hand.

ne man nodded apologetically at Eliza and, upon seeing Calvin enter, immediately went to greet him. “Mr. Young, I’m really sorry for what happened last time.
