Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 94

“As long as I want, he will fully support me.”

As long as she wants, Calvin was her capital!

She truly had the leverage to show off.

That’s why she felt so confident when trying to dig into Enzo.

Knowing it in her heart was one thing, but witnessing it with her own eyes was another.

Eliza felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

It wasn’t painful, but it certainly wasn’t comfortable.

In the end, Eliza agreed to the collaboration because Calvin had given her so much.

When money is placed in front of you, there’s no reason to refuse.

Calvin was really willing to go all out for Medea.

He was even willing to share Everest’s core technology with others.

After the deal was settled, Sutton was very pleased and kept refilling their glasses.

Just as Eliza raised her glass, Calvin interrupted, saying, “She doesn’t drink much. I’ll drink for her.”

Sutton was surprised, “You two know each other?”

“Otherwise, how would he know about her tolerance for alcohol?

“We know each other.”

“We don’t,” they both answered almost simultaneously, with completely different responses.

This left Sutton confused, “So, do you know each other or not?”

“She said we don’t know each other, so we don’t,” Calvin said casually, as if there was nothing to explain.

Eliza didn’t know what he was being casual about.

In the end, Eliza didn’t drink.

Calvin, on the other hand, drank quite a bit with Sutton.

Eliza kept an eye on him.

It was clear that his desensitization training had paid off. He drank without showing any signs of allergic reactions.

It seemed that he’d been drinking a lot for Meden recently, slowly building up his tolerance.

Eliza sipped her tea, but it felt incredibly bitter.

The waiter had mentioned that the tea was worth tens of thousands per kilogram.

After the business dinner, Eliza stepped outside and found it had started to drizzle.

She texted Sadie, letting her know the dinner was over and asking her to pick her up.

Since it was a work dinner, there was bound to be alcohol, so Eliza didn’t drive herself and handed the car keys to Sadie.

Outside, Calvin’s silver–topped Maybach was waiting.

Brace had been waiting for a while and greeted her as she approached.

Calvin was helped into the car by Brace.

Just as Brace was about to close the door, Calvin spoke, “Wait a minute.”

Both their gazes turned to Eliza.

She saw them and understood what Calvin meant.

But she still turned and walked toward the other side, insisting on waiting for Sadie to pick her up.

Brace glanced at Calvin, who had returned to his indifferent, nonchalant demeanor, and said softly, “Let’s go.”

Sadie arrived a little later.

Eliza stood by the roadside waiting for her, letting the cool wind wake her up.

Calvin had been training himself to desensitize to alcohol for Medea’s sake.

Hadn’t Eliza been doing the same thing?

Over the past period, she had been practicing desensitization herself.

Until Calvin stood in front of her, she could calmly and calmly interact with him as if he were a stranger.

On the day before New Year’s Eve, Eliza prepared the contract and personally went to Everest to meet Calvin for the signing.

This was her first time back at Everest since leaving the company.

Standing in front of the familiar gate, she felt a strange sense of time passing.

The receptionist immediately recognized Eliza and excitedly greeted her, “Secretary Grant!”

Eliza corrected her, “I’ve left the company. Please call me Eliza, or President Grant.”

Eliza handed over her business card. “I have an appointment with your President Calyin.”

“Oh, yes! President Calvin mentioned it! This way, please!” the receptionist said, leading her to the elevator.

Eliza knew this was the busiest time for the receptionist, so she insisted on going up alone,

The receptionist knew Eliza was familiar with the company and didn’t hesitate to let her go alone.

On the elevator, heading to the 10th floor, someone entered.

It was Amanda from the Investment Department,

When she saw Eliza, she paused for a moment, then sneered softly.

She was accompanied by another colleague from the department.

Amanda gave Eliza a small nod, as if acknowledging her.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Amanda coldly remarked, “Shouldn’t the security be tightened? How can anyone just walk in like that?”

Her colleague didn’t dare reply.

When the elevator reached the 12th floor, Xavier from the Secretary Department entered. Upon seeing Eliza, he immediately greeted her respectfully, “President Grant, the receptionist told me you had arrived. I was just about to come down and meet you, but you came up yourself.”

“There’s no need to be so formal. I felt familiar enough to come up myself,” Eliza replied.

She paused for a moment and glanced at Amanda.

“But next time, I’ll wait downstairs, just to avoid being misunderstood as some random person waiting around.”

Xavier quickly added, “President Grant is our business partner. How could you be a random person? If anyone said otherwise, you can tell me. I’ll report it to President Calvin!”

Calvin had very strict rules about this. He wouldn’t tolerate anyone gossiping within the company.

If someone was caught, they’d be fired on the spot, never to be hired again.

Amanda immediately felt a chill run down her back.

She nervously glanced at Eliza, clearly hoping she would let it slide and not say anything.

But Eliza wasn’t a saint, and she didn’t have that much compassion to give away.

“You can check with Amanda and see what she has to say,” Eliza said.

Amanda’s face instantly turned pale.

Eliza didn’t have the time to savor the moment, as the elevator arrived at the CEO’s office.

When Xavier led Eliza into the meeting room, Sutton had already arrived and was chatting with Calvin.

Seeing Eliza, Sutton smiled and greeted her, “President Grant, welcome. Please, sit.”

Sutton, as usual, invited her to sit next to Calvin.

But Eliza walked to the other side, deliberately distancing herself from Calvin. “I’ll sit here, thank you.”

Sutton didn’t think much of it and said, “It’s all the same. We’ve pretty much covered everything, we’re just waiting for you.”

The conditions had already been discussed before, and now they just needed to talk through the details.
