Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

The next day, Eliza had just arrived at the office when she received a call from Erik.

He asked if she had time and suggested they have a meal together.

Eliza guessed what Erik had in mind, and they made plans for lunch.

She quickly informed Sadie to push back her afternoon work schedule.

Sadie chased after her and asked, “Is it a drinking event? If it is, I’ll go with you.”

“It’s just a meal. Why would you come if it’s a drinking event?” Eliza responded.

“I’m going to help you fend off drinks! From now on, I’m going with you to every drinking event! I’ll stick to you like glue to avoid situations like last night!” Sadie declared.

Eliza laughed, “Alright, I’ll bring you along to every drinking event, but today’s just a meal. You don’t have to come.”

When she got to the parking garage, she ran into the middle–aged man she had met outside the government office before.

It seemed like he was waiting for someone.

When Caesar saw Eliza, he looked a bit surprised. After a brief hesitation, he walked over to her.

Eliza didn’t linger on the man’s figure, quickly looking away and walking straight to her car.

Caesar opened his mouth to call her, but just then, Lucas came downstairs to escort Medea.

As soon as Medea arrived at the parking garage, she saw Caesar waiting to pick her up. She immediately called out to him, “Dad, when did you get here? Have ou been waiting long?”

Caesar had no choice but to stop and turn to look at Medea, his face full of affection. “Just arrived, Are you done with work?”

Mhm.” Medea introduced Lucas, who had escorted her downstairs,

is Eliza started her car, she heard Medea call out “Dad,” and she paused for a moment, frowning.

The first person she instinctively disliked must have been chosen by her genes.

t seemed like her instincts were correct.

Jiza stepped on the accelerator and quickly left the parking garage.

t had been some time since Eliza last met Erik. When they met again, she almost didn’t recognize him.

The change in Erik was huge. He had become extremely dark, looked thinner, and his hair was messy.

But there was a smile on his face, and his whole demeanor seemed much brighter.

‘Did I scare you?” Erik poured iza some tea.

‘Not scared, just surprised by how much you’ve changed,” Eliza said honestly.

Erik then shared with Eliza what he had been up to recently.

He explained that after leaving his job, he went to the northwest and visited many historical landmarks, gaining plenty of inspiration. He rushed back to discuss

his ideas with Eliza.

Eliza could see his eyes shining as he spoke about it.

Only strong passion could drive someone to speak like that.

Because he was so eager, Erik didn’t even have time to make a PowerPoint for Eliza to look at. Instead, he described his ideas verbally.

The whole meal was Erik speaking, and Eliza listening.

At the end. Erik realized how much he had talked and shyly scratched his head. “Did I talk too much?”

No,” Eliza said as she poured him some tea. “I think what you said is really interesting. Incorporating these historical landmarks into a game would have great ultural significance and innovation.”

Exactly! That’s my idea!” Erik felt like he had found a like–minded person in Eliza.

rom the beginning, he had realized this.

He always felt his own expressions were lacking, but Eliza could always understand what he was trying to say.

No one, not even his long–time university roommate and business partner Lucas, could do this as well.

Go ahead and put the whole concept together, and we’ll discuss the next steps,” Eliza gave him her answer.

rik’s confidence soared, and he shook off the dejection he felt when he left his job. “Alright!”

fter the meal, it was still early, and Eliza planned to meet Enzo. She called him ahead of time.

nzo was still at the office. When he heard Eliza was coming, he asked her to go pick up some documents from Everup.

liza made her way to Everup, where she was greeted by the same gossiping vice president from before.

he inquired about Byron.

he vice president said, “President Bates is on a leave of absence, and his break isn’t over yet. Originally, Director Wynn was in charge here, but since President bung had a car acadent, Director Wynn is at the hospital taking care of him. So, it’s just me here for now.”

till as gossipy as ever.

liza didn’t care about President Young’s car accident, so she took the documents and left.

Vhen she met with Enzo later, after finishing their work discussion, Eliza asked about the previous night.

adie had told her that it was Enzo who had taken her home.

o, it was Lazo who had picked her up from the club.

Maybe he knew something

lowever, Enzo seemed just as confused “Didn’t you ask the club staff to call me to pick you up?”

id that really happen?

Jiza couldn’t remember anything since she blacked out

She sighed. “Well, whatever the truth is, it’s not important anymore.”

she decided to just chalk it up as one wild night and be more careful in the future

The next morning. Eliza received an invitation to the Anniversary Celebration of LeadTech sent by Sutton

This was the annual grand banquet of LeadTech, inviting all their partners to attend

Chapter 145

Both ASKHEART and Apex were invited this year.

Of course, Everest was also one of LeadTech’s partners and was invited as well.

This was the so–called “small world” where everyone is interconnected.

liza represented Apex, so she needed to dress up for the event and went to Luxe Atelier to pick out a dress.

he arranged to go with Enzo, and they both arrived at Luxe Atelier almost at the same time.

nzo had no experience in this area and felt nervous.

liza reassured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you pick one.”

he was experienced in this.

Vell, mostly from picking out suits for Calvin in the past.

When Calvin arrived, Eliza was helping Enzo with his suit.

This tie color suits you better,” Eliza said, holding up a dark red patterned tie in front of Enzo.
