Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 225

After Gabe finished speaking. Eliza added a few more words.

“I believe that with Mr. Serrano joining BroadTech, it will surely go farther.”

The news quickly spread, and soon, everyone heard the latest version about how Eliza had impressed Gabe.

It wasn’t that she hired him, but that she invited him to become a new partner of BroadTech.

Hector gave a fair evaluation. “By gathering people with profit, you can indeed give them a strong sense of value. Mr. Serrano ended his cooperation with his previous company because of this.”

Hector was someone who liked to study human nature due to his work, so he had more insights in this area.

Profit is the fundamental logic that holds an organization together. Giving talents a clear sense of value is the first step in winning them over.”

Eliza really hit the nail on the head. No wonder she could impress Mr. Serrano.”

Then he patted Xander’s shoulder, as if consoling him. “You should learn from her. You didn’t lose unfairly.”

Outside the hospital room.

How about we play rock–paper–scissors? Loser goes.”

You don’t know how hard she is to deal with! Worse than President. I’m just doing my job, not her slave. Who does she think she is, looking down on veryone just because she has money?”

Seven Years a Fool, One Day n Queen

Chapter 225

“What brings you here?

You’re alone? Xander had come prepared, expecting to run into Calvin

To his surprise, she was alone in the room.

This situation made him farrow his brows, his tone carrying some reproach. “Isn’t Calvin taking care of you?”

Medea quickly explained. “His father’s not feeling well. I told him to go back and check on him. I’m fine here. It’s just that my head was injured earlier, so I felt a bit dizzy, but I’m much better now.”

“You were injured? When did that happen?” Nander hadn’t known about this.

It’s just a minor injury. It’s nothing serious,” Medea didn’t want to go into detail.

Xander wanted to express his concern, but in the end, he held back.

After you left, Gabe announced his partnership with Apex,” Xander shared the news from after she had left.

Medea already knew, and had even vented her frustrations in the hospital room, scolding one of the nurses to tears.

But after letting her emotions out, she was now surprisingly calm.

“It’s okay. Everyone has the right to make their own choice. I respect Mr. Serrano’s decision.”

Hearing this, Xander felt a deep admiration for her.

His senior was as wise and graceful as ever.

At times, he couldn’t help but envy Calvin.

“By the way. Senior, what was that news about?” Xander still had some doubts, so he asked directly.

Medea understood what he was referring to and sighed helplessly. “Ever since I got together with Calv, Ive been the target of media attention, and Mr. Serrano got dragged into it. What I don’t understand is, I usually just appear in entertainment news, but this time, I ended up in financial news. It feels like someone’s behind pushing the public opinion to stir things up, making Mr. Serrano misunderstand me.”

As she spoke, Xander immediately thought of Eliza.

She was the one benefiting from this situation, so did she deliberately stir up the rumors?

If that was the case, her methods were rather underhanded!

The conference came to a successful conclusion.

Eliza went to the Young family’s home to report her work to Grayson. Upon entering, she saw Calvin eating at the dining table.

She hesitated for a moment, puzzled.

Hadn’t Gideon said that Medea wasn’t feeling well and that Calvin was taking her to the hospital?

Why wasn’t he at the hospital caring for his precious one?

She was about to leave and return later after Grayson finished eating.

But since she was already here, there was no reason to back out.

Eliza walked in confidently.

Nancy, who was busy in the kitchen, peeked out when she heard the noise. Upon seeing 1liza, her face brightened Liza, you’re heret Have you eaten? If not. please have something.”

Eliza was about to say she had already eaten.

Chapter 225

But Calvin answered for her, “She clearly came straight from the conference. I’m sure she hasn’t eaten yet.”

“I’ll get you some chopsticks. Wash your hands, and come eat while it’s hot,” Nancy cheerfully said, as she went to prepare a bowl and serve soup.

After a long day, Eliza was indeed a bit hungry.

And Nancy’s cooking was always delightful.

When one was hungry, all they could think about was food, not paying attention to anything else, especially not Calvin.

After washing her hands, she came back to the table. Nancy was holding a bowl of soup and came out from the kitchen. “It’s still hot.”

Since Calvin was closer to the kitchen, he stood up and took the bowl, handing it to Eliza.

As she took it, her hand brushed over the back of his, leaving a faint warmth on his skin.

Calvin sat back down, instinctively rubbing his fingers together.

Eliza didn’t look at him and simply said in a calm tone,

“Thank you.”

Then she sat down and started eating.

She completely ignored him, not even giving him a second glance.

Calvin began eating too, and it was customary for him to finish before her.

But today, he ate slower than usual. By the time he finished, Eliza had already finished eating.

Calvin is not someone who ate so much.

It made her hesitant to take the dishes away.

Nancy urged, “You came to see Mr. Young, right? He’s waiting for you in the study. You can go straight in.”

“Okay.”

Eliza stood up and headed for the study.

She had already given Grayson a basic update, so there wasn’t much else to discuss,

However, she stayed a little longer, just to chat with Grayson.

Outside, it had been quiet for a while. She thought Calvin must have left by now.

When she was about to leave, she was surprised to find Calvin still sitting in the living room, half of his upper body bare.

Having been together for seven years, they had seen each other in all sorts of situations.

But tonight, Eliza felt slightly uncomfortable,

she avoided his gaze, looking away.
