Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257

Eliza suppressed the anger rising within her and took out her phone, preparing to call President.

But before she could dial, she heard President’s voice.

It was getting closer.

First, it was Medea saying, “President, sorry to trouble you.”

President Wynn, you’re too kind. It’s really just a phone call. You and President Young didn’t need to make a special trip,” President replied quite politely.

He even told Medea, “If you’re too busy here, just say the word. I can help coordinate people from the school.”

Then I’ll trouble you, President.”

Some workers passed by carrying things. Calvin, probably worried Medea might get bumped, thoughtfully took her arm and guided her towards himself.

The next moment, she was tightly protected in his embrace.

Medea looked up at him and gave him a sweet smile.

I’ll head back now. If anything comes up, just call me directly,” President said, seeing that everything at the site was orderly, then turned to speak to the two.

Okay, thank you, President. I’ll treat you to a meal another time.”

This time it was Calvin who spoke.

President waved his hand. “You’re too courteous, President Young.”

After President left, Calvin and Medea entered the venue.

líza took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress the fire rising in her heart.

the still dialed President’s number.

resident answered, starting with an apology, “President Grant, I was just about to call you. I’m truly sorry. There’s been a bit of a problem on the school’s end. he venue we previously rented to you needs some adjustment.”

But President…”

President Grant, I owe you a personal favor for this matter. In the future, if there’s anything you need where I can be of use, please don’t hesitate to ask. I

von’t refuse!”

resident didn’t wait for Eliza to finish speaking.

Which meant, this matter was already settled and couldn’t be changed.

of course. With Calvin personally involved, President couldn’t refuse.

After all, his current position was partly due to Calvin’s support over the years.

verest Group provided internship and employment channels for Washington University, helping solve graduate employment issues.

They also donated 200 million to fund a technology building

The ridiculous part was:

All of these were proposals Eliza had given Calvin while she was employed at Everest

Chapter 257

The subsequent coordination and advancement were also handled personally by Eliza.

Her original intention behind these proposals was to build a network of connections for Calvin, hoping that one day these favors could be used for his benefit

Now, Calvin was indeed using them.

But it was for Medea.

Eliza’s hand slowly clenched, and her mind went blank for a few moments.

After a moment, she finally spoke, “I understand.”

President, knowing he was in the wrong, proactively offered goodwill. “Although Hall B is a bit smaller than Hall A, it’s still usable. Additionally, I will provide completely free promotion for ASKHEART on the school’s official website, forums, and mini–programs.”

Thank you, President.”

Before hanging up, President expressed his apology once more.

Everyone is in a different position, and each has their own difficulties.

Eliza could understand.

After all, this is a society built on personal connections.

Right now, she didn’t have time to dwell on this; she needed to quickly dispatch people to redecorate the new venue.

When she returned after making arrangements, she saw that Kayn had already retrieved the directional signs thrown in the trash, cleaned them, and wiped them dry.

When Eliza approached, he looked at her inquiringly with his eyes.

Eliza said, “Move them to Hall B.”

Kayn then knew the outcome.

He didn’t ask further, just silently did the work.

By the time the extra hands arranged by Apex arrived, Eliza and Kayn were already cleaning the venue.

With more help, the progress sped up.

By the time they were almost done, it was 3 AM.

Thinking it was unfair to call people over to work overtime so late, Eliza wanted to buy some food and drinks to thank everyone.

She took out her phone to order, but a delivery person arrived with items.

Also food and drinks.

He stood at the entrance and called inside, “Is Miss Medea here?”

“That’s me.” Medea got up from her chair and walked towards the entrance.

The delivery person said. “These are the coffee and pastries President Young prepared for you. Please sign for them”

“Okay.” After signing, Medea immediately called Calvin. Her voice was sweet, unable to conceal her joy. “Caly, I received the coffee and pastries you ordered. I thought you’d be asleep by now.”

“I’m not tired. I’m just sitting here directing things a bit. How could I be tired?”

“We’ve been so busy these past two days, I haven’t been able to spend proper time with you. After Bosi Technology successfully lists, we’ll go on a proper vacation again.”

Chapter 257

Medea started chatting on the phone as if no one else was around.

Eliza checked on the delivery platform and found the fastest delivery would still take an hour. She considered driving over to buy the items herself.

Before she could take two steps, Sadie and the team arrived.

Each was carrying bags filled with food and drinks.

Seeing Eliza, Sadie called out to her with a smile, “Eliza, I bought some coffee, sweet soups, and pastries to help everyone refresh and perk up.”

Eliza breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Sadie, as a secretary, was becoming increasingly versatile.

Occasionally, she could let Eliza catch her breath and rest briefly.

7 AM.

Medea was at Luxe Atelier getting her hair and makeup done.

Vivian was selecting suitable jewelry for her.

With so many choices, Vivian was getting dazzled.

She couldn’t help but sigh again, thinking how good Calvin was to Medea.

So good that it made her envious.

While Medea was resting her eyes, Regina called to inform her that she would invite ladies from her social circle to support her listing roadshow today.

“Quite a few from the circle are coming today. You must perform well. They all have connections and networks behind them. They might follow–on invest in your projects later or buy shares in Bosi Technology. It will be a great help to your career.”

She had worked so hard to enter that social circle precisely to pave the way for Medea.

Medea asked, “Is Mrs. Wade coming?”

Regina replied, “She’s not. You know how it is; she’s been brainwashed by Eliza.”

Medea curled her lip “Eliza must have said something bad about me in front of them. Otherwise, Mrs. Wade’s bias against me wouldn’t be this strong.”

Especially Baxter.

After so many years of friendship, he was swayed by just a few words from Eliza.

He started acting cold and keeping his distance.

Someone so active in the group chat before, now he rarely appears.

She had sent the invitation for this roadshow in the group.

Baxter hadn’t responded.

Clearly pretending he didn’t see it.

Regina had also faced quite a few setbacks with Mrs, Wade lately. Mentioning her put her in a bad mood.

“Let’s not talk about her. Anyway, most of the ladies from the circle are coming, just perform well and don’t embarrass me.”

“Okay,”

“Also, tell Vivian not to go. Although that matter of hers has been over for a while, if someone still remembers and recognizes her, it could affect you,” Regina reminded her again.

Medea said she understood.

Vivian overheard their entire conversation.

tearing that her aunt didn’t want her to attend the event, she felt quite upset.

tedea knew what she was thinking and tried to comfort her.
