Chapter 892 Elliot’s heart sank as he stared at his phone after Avery hung up. It wasn’t that he was upset over being scolded by Avery, but the fact that someone had sent her roses. If the bouquet was from Mike or Eric, they would have signed the card; so who was it? Who was trying to pursue Avery ind3 secret?
“The rest of you go on!” Elliot said, before storming out of the meeting room. He told the managers to carry on and leave, when the scheduled meetings on Monday were meant for the others to report to him; who else were they supposed to report to with Elliotcb gone? Elliot went straight into his office and closed the door behind him after exiting the meeting room.
His secretary stood outside the door, red-eyed and terrified. It was the first time she had made such a horrible mistake for the years she had worked there. Though the coffee was not boiling hot, it had spilled all over her boss’s phone, hand and clothes. Even if Elliot did not blame her for what happened yet, she felt like he would punish her once he realized what happened.
“What’s wrong?” Chad walked past and asked when he spotted the expression on the secretary. The secretary explained everything that happened in the meeting room to Chad. “Mr. Foster hasn’t punished me yet because his mind is occupied by what Avery said to him.
Once he calms down and sees his dirty clothes, he will definitely punish me,” the secretary said guiltily, “I envy Miss. Tate. If she was the one who made the same mistake as I did, she might even blame Mr. Foster for causing the coffee to spill considering her temper.”
Chad couldn’t help but chuckle. “You don’t seem scared to me at all, since you are still brave enough to crack jokes about those two.” “I am in shock from what Miss. Tate did, okay? I didn’t expect her to be so dominating and rude when she was talking to Mr. Foster.” The secretary lowered her gaze. “Alright, get back to work! I will help you if Mr. Foster really tries to punish you later. You didn’t do it on purpose after all.”
“Thank you, Chad! I wish you luck on your romantic relationships. Don’t become as lowly as Mr. Foster in his relationship!” She said, before running back to the secretary’s office.
Chad shook his head and sighed.
Indeed, Elliot was acting lowly; but it was necessary considering how Avery held three advantages over him. If Elliot failed to make up with Avery, he wouldn’t be able to get close to the three children. Naturally, Chad believed that Elliot would still try his best to win Avery over even if she didn’t have those three children.
There were countless women in the world and plenty would be willing to grow old with Eliot, but the only one he wanted wased Avery. Chad knocked on the door to the President’s office and went in to find Elliot on the phone.
“Call her and ask about it, or ask the vice-president in your firm.” Elliot turned around with the phone in his hand and handed his phone over once he spottedie Chad.
Chad had already guessed who he was talking to and what they were talking about, so he accepted the phone and cleared his throat, before saying, “aren’t you working today?” Mike instantly woke up at Chad’s voice and said, “haven’t I told you already last night? Avery told me to rest at94 home.”
“I thought you were joking! Avery received a bouquet of roses today. Go find out who sent it and call me once you find something.” “There’s no need for that.
I saw the messages on our chat group,” Mike drawled lazily, “our vice-president sent it as a representative of all employees. I could just laugh myself to death. Did Elliot freak out? He sounded so bitter when he talked to me just18 now…”
