Chapter 959
“You must be exhausted , Avery!” said Mrs. Cooper. “I just wanted to tell you that I’ve put all of the gifts that Hayden and Layla received today in the storage room on the first floor.”
“Alright. I’ll deal with them tomorrow.” Avery caressed Robert’s head, then said gently, “Did you have fun today, sweetie? I’ll throw you a birthday party when you turn a year old, okay?”
Mrs. Cooper sighed with a smile, “Time sure flies by. Our dear Robert is already turning six months old!”
“I know.”
“Take a shower and go to bed, Avery. You still have work tomorrow!” Mrs. Cooper said.
Avery nodded, then headed toward her bedroom.
She had planned to take a shower before she went to bed, but the bed seemed to be calling her name the moment she walked into the room.
She walked over to the bed in a daze and lay down. She had planned to rest for a bit and take a shower once she recuperated some energy. She ended up falling into a deep slumber shortly after.
Avery regularly had nightmares. They never went away no matter how much she tried to get rid of them.
They were always the same dreams.
The first was her father’s final moments. He had held her hand on his death bed, apologizing to her and begging for her forgiveness. Her father had taken his last breath before she could say anything. It was one of her biggest regrets. The second nightmare was the death of her mother. Laura had died in a brutal car crash that turned her face into an unrecognizable mess of flesh and blood. She had never had the chance to say goodbye to her mother. It was a kind of deep pain that she would never move on from for the rest of her life.
The third was her divorce from Elliot. The fourth nightmare was the memory of Robert almost dying prematurely.
All of these regrets and agonies continue to torment her.
Tonight, however, she had a relatively peacefuled sleep.
Not only did she not dream at all, but she also did not wake up once through the night.
It was not until her phone rang the next morning that Avery2e awakened. After she woke up, she reached out next to her pillow to search for her phone out of habit, but the phone was not there.
She instantly opened her eyes and looked by herf2 pillow.
“Where is my phone?” thought Avery.
The phone was ringing incessantly, and it was making her4e anxious.
Avery got out of bed, noticed that she was still wearing the dress she wore the night before, then took a deep breath and smacked her head.
Once her head cleared, she saw her purse on the nightstand and realized that the phone was ringing from inside her4e purse.
She pulled the phone out of her purse and saw that the vice president was calling.
She answered the call and was immediately met with the vice president’s frantic voice, “Avery! Something’s come up at home! I need to ask you for a98 favor!” Avery frowned, then said calmly, “What happened? Try to calm down. Of course, I’ll help in any way I can.”
“Here’s the thing. Three months ago, I enrolled in a course at Sierra University. You know about them, right? They specialize in professional training. They have produced many successful students who have graduated to become successful entrepreneurs. They are expensive, but I managed to get accepted through some connections. However… my son is sick and needs surgery.” The vice president’s voice was filled with regret. “I can’t go, so I was wondering if you would take my place.”
Avery was confused. “I’ve never heard of Sierra University. What’s the course for?” “It’s a training course for company presidents.”
“Oh. What kind of training is it?” Avery was still rather muddled.
“You’ll learn the thought processes of successful people and how to make more connections. The instructors are all famous business tycoons, and they’ll teach you how to grow your company. I signed up for it so I could better run our company,” explained the vice president, then added with regret, “I would go myself if my son wasn’t sick.”
“Take care of your family for now. It doesn’t matter if you go for this training course or not.” “Of course, it matters! You would definitely benefit a lot from attending it. By the way, take some notes for me… Okay?”
Avery did not want to attend the course, but it was hard for her to refuse her vice president’s request.
“How long is the course?”
“A week,” answered the vice president. “It starts tonight. You’ll have to hurry and book a flight over there.”
