Chapter 209

Eliza took another glance.

Calvin and Medea’s group were hurriedly making their way out.

Medea was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, concealing herself entirely. She kept her head down the entire time.

Calvin had his arm in a sling, looking like he was injured quite seriously.

Even so, he still used his uninjured hand to protect Medea.

‘erhaps sensing her gaze, Calvin looked in her direction for a brief moment.

Their eyes met for just an instant, a fleeting moment, but it was cold and indifferent to the point of being unnerving.

liza moved her gaze away without much emotion and walked toward another exit with her companions.

The next morning, Eliza headed to the port project site, preparing to welcome the safety inspection team.

To her surprise, Hector was there too.

Before she could greet him, Hector spoke first, “How did you get injured? Is it serious? You don’t look well.”

After a pause, he added, “You’ve lost weight.”

n the half month since they last met, he had carefully noticed the changes in her.

I got injured in G City,” Eliza explained.

lector immediately became worried. “Is it serious? What did the doctor say?”

It’s not too bad, I’ve almost recovered. Thank you for your concern,” she reassured him.

lector let out a quiet sigh of relief. “Good, as long as you’re fine.”

efore they could talk further, the safety inspection team arrived.

liza quickly went to greet them but frowned when she saw the lead official.

I was actually Caesar.

lowever, she quickly adjusted her expression and shook hands with Caesar and the others.

Caesar was quite polite and had noticed the scratches on Eliza’s face. “President Grant, you’re injured?”

I’m almost recovered. Thank you for your concern, Minister Wynn,” Eliza replied courteously.

Since it was a professional setting, Caesar only asked once and didn’t bring it up again.

The safety inspection proceeded smoothly, but there were still some minor issues pointed out

It felt like they were nitpicking

As time passed, Fliza’s expression became more serious.

During lunch, she instructed the project team to conduct a more thorough self check.

Sadie brought her some calming soup, but Eliza wasn’t feeling hungry.

During the short meal, she made no less than ten phone calls to manage work matters.

Hector came to find Eliza while she was still on the phone.

sadie handed her another bowl of hot soup and told her to eat first before continuing her work, or else her stomach would hurt again.

Eliza said she would, but continued her phone calls without stopping.

adie sighed deeply.

Hector, rarely not being his usual gentlemanly self, interjected, “Miss Grant, work is never–ending. Eating is more important.”

liza finally put down the work and took a few bites of her food.

lector originally had something to discuss with her but waited until she finished her meal.

Did you offend someone?” Hector asked directly.

;iven his position, it wasn’t exactly appropriate to ask something like that.

But he knew Eliza was anxious about it, so he didn’t think too much about it.

liza hesitated for a moment after hearing Hector’s question.

It’s my oversight. There were some unexpected things in G City, so I stayed a few extra days and couldn’t fully prepare,” Eliza explained.

You’ve done great already,”

lector said sincerely, not just out of politeness. “Don’t stress too much. If it’s small problems, there will be an opportunity to correct them.”

Thank you”

Take some rest. You really don’t look well, Hector advised as he was about to leave, still reminding her to take care of herself.

After he left, Sadie curiously asked Fliza. “Do you think Director Blaine likes you? I feel like he does, the way he looks at you with such light in his eyes

Dize flipped through some files and responded, “He’s not Ultraman, why would his eyes have light?”

I can tell, fliza, you’re just a steed strong straight girl

In the afternoon, the sun came out, and the sun in Washington was potoriously harsh

Under the blazing sun. Eliza felt weak and drained

She wasn’t fully recovered, still had a mild concussion, and was pushing herself too hard with work. Her body couldn’t keep up

After a wave of intense dizziness, she felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

Her consciousness drifted for a moment.

Alright

Legina hung up the phone, looked at Medea, who was covered in the blanket, and sighed
