Just after Hector hung up, Xander’s call came in.

Hector answered while driving.

No way? You just got back to North City, and everyone’s been waiting to hang out with you,” Xander said.

lector just said, “Next time,” and hung up.

ander, who had been waiting specifically for Hector, felt bored and decided to leave early, after exchanging greetings with his friends.

s he exited the main door, he saw a familiar car drive past him.

That shocked Xander even more was that there was a woman in Hector’s car!

liza thanked Hector.

Meanwhile, her phone kept vibrating as Belle sent message after message.

liza didn’t need to look to know what Belle was saying.

Selle pinched her thigh, forcing her to look at the messages.

He’s handsome, polite, and drives a luxury car! That means his family’s well off!]

What does he do for a living?]

liza sighed, replying with a single word.

Government.]

elle almost instantly replied.

A government boyfriend is great! Government boyfriends are usually stable, responsible, and mature–perfect for you!]

liza: […]

he didn’t want to engage with Belle. Instead, she exchanged pleasantries with Hector, “How did you know I was in North City?”

ector explained, “I heard it from General Klein during a work conversation.”

hat wasn’t entirely true.

ector had seen Eliza and Belle in a friend’s circle post earlier, posted by one of Xander’s colleagues.

Then Hector was at the bar, he saw how beautiful Eliza looked and shared a post about it. That’s when he decided to call her immediately.

iza didn’t question it; after all, Hector often communicated with Enzo about the hotline platform.

ie had just called Enzo earlier in the day to let him know she would be flying from North City to Washington the next morning and would go directly to verup to meet him afterward.

› Hector’s explanation made perfect sense.

When are you heading back to Washington?” Hector asked smoothly.

o soon?” Hector was a bit surprised.

‘ou’re from North City?” Eliza had never looked into it before,

ep, born and raised in North City.”

elle interrupted, “North City’s great, really valuable now.”

iza: […]

he really wanted to gag her!

ut Belle didn’t care. She tilted her head and bombarded Hector with a lot of questions, like she was checking his background.

ector was polite as ever and didn’t mind answering her questions.

ventually, Eliza couldn’t stand it anymore and covered Belle’s mouth, restoring some quiet in the car.

he car soon arrived at the hotel where Eliza was staying.

efore Eliza got out, Hector asked, “What time is your flight tomorrow?”

Eliza didn’t have time to stop her.

Hector smiled and said his goodbyes to both of them.

After Hector’s car left. Eliza finally pinched Belle’s waist. “Belle, what are you trying to do!”

Belle put her hands on her hips. “Since you’ve decided to start a new life, of course you need to meet new men!”

“This Hector’s not bad, consider him.”

Eliza looked up at the sky in exasperation before delivering her piece of wisdom.

‘Men only affect the speed at which I make money, understand?”

The next morning, Hector showed up promptly at the hotel to take Eliza to the airport.

Eliza almost wanted to go back to her room and give Belle, still fast asleep, a good beating!

Since Hector was already here, if she rejected him, it would seem ungracious and impolite.

So she reluctantly got into the car.

Fortunately, Hector was considerate and didn’t bring up anything that made Eliza uncomfortable.

During their casual chat, Eliza learned that Hector had come back to visit family and would be returning to work next week.

Hector personally took her to the check–in gate, and as she walked in, he was about to leave when he ran into Xander.

What are you doing here?” Xander asked.

lector replied, “I’m here to see a friend off.”

You live far from the airport, what friend could be so important that you got up at four in the morning to drive them to the airport?” Xander asked, his uriosity piqued.

lector didn’t explain, just said, “A friend.”

Lander made a guess, “A woman? The one you like?”

Go ahead and board your plane,” Hector clapped Xander’s shoulder and left.

Lander chuckled, “You’re hiding it well! Let’s see how long you can keep it up!”

de was in a rush to catch his flight, so he didn’t press further.

Once aboard, he discovered that the person sitting next to him was none other than Lizal

Eliza noticed him too, but she quickly looked away, not meeting his gaze.

Kander frowned and, when the flight attendant came by, asked, “Is it possible to change seats?”

He didn’t want to sit next to Elizal

The flight attendant apologized, saying, “Sorry, Mr. Watts, you’re in first class, and there are no other available seats.

Xander scowled, but had no choice but to stay in his seat.

He subtly shifted his body to the side, trying to distance himself from Eliza

Unbeknownst to him, Eliza hadn’t looked at him again.

Fortunately, the flight wasn’t long, and Xander was able to tolerate it.

Chapter 180

When the plane landed, he got up and left.

Eliza, calmly collecting her things, saw that Sadie was already waiting for her at the gate.

After they met, they headed straight to Everup.

This was the first business meeting between Everup and ASKHEART after their collaboration.

Medea, who was hosting the meeting, surprised Eliza when she saw Xander enter the conference room.

The deputy general manager of Everup explained that Everup was about to collaborate with Shengshi Group on a new project, and Xander was there to inspect the project.

The explanation seemed reasonable.

Medea thought she was well–prepared, but within the first five minutes, Eliza raised her first question, saying that Medea’s data had problems.

Medea’s face turned cold.

Xander, sitting calmly with a faint smirk, glanced at Eliza and said lightly, “Ms. Grant, are you so professional that after hearing just a short part, you think the lata is problematic?”

Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with you?”
