Chapter 961
“Really? What a coincidence.” Then, Tammy teased, “Could the both of you be going to the same place?”
Avery had no idea.
She had not asked Elliot where he was going on his business trip yesterday.
She was curious now, but she refused to ask him about it.
After all, what would it matter if they went to the same place?
By the time Avery washed up in the bathroom, changed her clothes, and walked out of the room, the twins had already left for school.
Robert was sleeping in the crib in the living room while Mrs. Cooper was busying away in the kitchen.
“I’m going on a trip tomorrow, Mrs. Cooper,” Avery said when she arrived at the kitchen. “I’ll be away for a week.” Mrs. Cooper was stunned. “Why are you leaving so suddenly? The kids would miss you if they don’t see you at home when they get back in the evening.” “I’m going to attend a training course.
I promised someone that I would go.” “I see. The kids will understand since it’s for work. Are you going alone or is someone going with you?” Mrs. Cooper was a little worried. “I’m going alone.” Avery took a seat at the dining table, then said, “Don’t worry. I think it’s a restricted area, so it’s pretty safe.” “That’s good, then.” Mrs. Cooper placed breakfast on the table, then asked, “When are you leaving?”
“I’ll book a flight after breakfast. I’ll leave in the afternoon at the latest.” Avery took a sip of milk, then asked, “Where’s Mike?”
“He’s still in bed.”
Just as Mrs. Cooper answered the question, Mike sauntered into the dininged room. “What are you two saying about me?!” Mike’s blond hair was a disheveled mess as he took a seat next to Avery. “Just so you know, I’m leaving for a trip today. I’ll be away for a week,” Avery said. “Please watch over things at theze house.”
Mike was immediately awakened by the shocking news. “Where are you going? Do you want me to go withfa you?” “Sierra University. Have you heard of it?” Avery took a bite of her bowl of oatmeal and her stomach instantly warmed up. “The vice president signed up for a training course there but couldn’t make it because something came up at home. So, he asked me to go in his place.” “I see. I’ve heard of that place. It’s a famous private elite university in Aryadelle.
They’re not known for the main university courses but for their affiliated training course for company presidents. Is that the course you’re going4e for?” Avery was taken aback, then said, “You should go if you’re interested! All you have to do is take notes and bring them back for the vice president.” Mike refused without hesitation. “I hate training courses! I don’t mind giving them, but there’s no way I’m attending4e one!”
Avery was at a loss for words. “I don’t think you should go either! It’s a waste of time! Our company’s successful enough as it is. You can consider it if they’re inviting you over as an instructor but wouldn’t joining them as a student be lowering our company’s98 standards?”. Avery sighed, then said, “I already promised the vice president to take notes for him.
He said he signed up for the course so he could run our company better. I can’t back out now that I’ve given him my word. Besides, what if I really do end up learning something?” “Go ahead, then! I’ll take care of things here at home.” “Alright, thanks. I’m curious, though. When exactly do you plan on moving out of my house?” A look of disbelief appeared on Mike’s face. He frowned, then said, “I’ll consider moving out after you and Elliot become a family!”
“Oh. I was just asking. What are you getting so worked up for? Elliot and I… Anyways, do you know where he’s going for his business trip? Coincidentally, he’s also going away for a week.”
