Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81

It was Mr. Tyler from Starlight Capital.

His quick response explained why his company had grown so strong.

Eliza answered, engaging in polite small talk.

On the phone, Mr. Tyler said he was interested in investing in her project and asked when she would return to Washington.

He wanted to meet with her as soon as possible, even asking for her return flight details, almost as if he planned to wait for her at the airport.

At times like this, Eliza didn’t give a clear answer.

She simply said that her return time was undecided, and she would get in touch once she was back in Washington.

Before hanging up, Mr. Tyler emphasized again that she should contact him immediately upon her return.

He was waiting for her!

Just after Eliza hung up with Mr. Tyler, the phone rang again. It was Mr. Quinn from Quinn Group.

It seemed that successful entrepreneurs had a sharp business sense.

Eliza stuck to the same line.

When she had approached them for investments before, they had all acted high and mighty, dismissing her.

They even humiliated her at social gatherings.

“Now, they were all calling her for collaboration.

It seemed they had conveniently forgotten their previous treatment of her.

Eliza didn’t bring up the past unpleasantness.

She simply exchanged pleasantries and kept things polite.

After all, this was the way business worked

The world was filled with people chasing profits.

Not only Mr. Quinn, but also Vega from Legacy, and many other investors who had previously rejected her or even insulted her at drinking parties now they were all calling, seeking collaboration

All of them were being very polite

But now, the tables had turned 1liza was in charge

She called the shots now!

But the calls were coming in too quickly, so she had to turn her phone off

Finally, peace and quiet

Josh chuckled, “Boss Eliza, should I make an appointment to meet you next time?”

“Maybe.” Eliza nodded, smiling.

The two shared a brief smile.

Just as Eliza had predicted, this summit had been a fruitful one for her.

Despite a few minor hiccups, the result was perfect.

Enzo, watching the replay, said, “Is this an example of ‘unintentional success‘? If I had gone up to explain, it might have been too technical and boring, and the outcome may not have been as good as this!”

The most interesting part was that Eliza, using Medea’s PPT, had taken “ASKHEART” to a whole new level.

Eliza wondered, if Gideon knew that her actions had actually helped “ASKHEART,” would he explode?

She was kind of curious to see that.

After the summit ended, Eliza politely declined the organizer’s celebration banquet.

She had promised to have dinner with Enzo.

Josh’s appearance had been an accident, and naturally, Eliza asked him if he wanted to join them for dinner.

Josh agreed.

Enzo didn’t expect that his carefully planned confession would now include an additional person.

He wasn’t sure how to handle this.

The problem was, he had already ordered flowers and cake. If the three of them ate together and the flowers and cake were brought out, it would be extremely awkward.

But now, he had no chance to cancel it, so he could only wait until they got to the restaurant and find a way to cancel it.

The three of them took a taxi to the restaurant.

Halfway there, Gideon called Josh, asking if he wanted to join them for dinner since he was in Los Angles.

He even mentioned that Medea and Calvin were also there, so it would be a good chance to hang out together.

Josh replied, “I have things to do, so I won’t join. You all go ahead.”

Gideon wanted to ask what could be so important that Josh couldn’t spare time to eat with his old friend.

But Josh hung up on him immediately.

He didn’t even give Gideon a chance to speak.

Medea and the group had just arrived at the restaurant. When Gideon finished his call, they asked him, “When will Josh arrive?”

Gideon scratched his head, “He said he has something to do, so he’s not coming

Medea was stunned for a moment, “Did you tell him that I’m here with Calv?”

“I did.”

Medea was silent for two seconds before saying nothing more and turning to enter the restaurant.

The three of them had reserved a private room.

For some reason, the atmosphere felt a bit heavy, possibly influenced by the events at the summit.

Even Gideon, normally chatty, was quiet, just focusing on eating.

Medea excused herself to go to the restroom, and when she came back, she happened to run into Josh, who was also dining at the same restaurant.

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately called out, “Josh.”

Josh looked over, and the smile that had been on his face faded, turning into a cold indifference.

But he still acknowledged her.

“I thought Gideon was lying when he said you came to Los Angles, but here you are.”

Medea walked toward him with the same soft tone she always used.

She purposely didn’t mention that she had already seen him at the summit, pretending they were just meeting by chance.

“When did you arrive?”

“This afternoon.”

So, he had gone to the summit right after arriving.

But for whom?

Could it be the person she was thinking of?

Medea hid her emotions well and didn’t show anything.

After a brief chat, she said, “Since we ran into each other, how about joining us? Gideon and Calv are both here.”

Although Gideon had been rejected, it didn’t mean Josh would reject her.

After all, they had some history together.

But Medea had overestimated the significance of their past.

Josh, with no emotion, simply said, “I have a friend here. Maybe next time.”

After saying that, he nodded slightly and left.

Medea stood there for a while.

She hadn’t expected Josh to refuse so decisively, without any hesitation.

She didn’t return to the private room immediately Instead, she walked in the direction Josh had left
