There was a pair of sparkly earrings inside.Avery had taken a long time thinking of what to get Eric as she did not know what Eric liked, so she did not know what would be the appropriate gift.In the end, she went online to search for Eric's photos for inspiration and after viewing a few photos, she noticed that Eric looked wonderful with earrings and talked to Elliot about buying him a pair of earrings."Thank you! I will keep this well." He closed the box and placed it into his pocket."Do you not like them?" Avery asked nervously. "I don't really know what you like and you can basically buy anything you like.""Of course, I like it! I like anything you buy for me. I just don't wear earrings during holidays. I will put them on the next time I work," Eric said."Sorry for all the trouble these past two days. Mike told me that he didn't even have to bother checking on the kids because you were looking after them.""Layla is older now so she doesn't really need me to do anythin

"You don't have to force yourself to be nice to me. It's really not necessary," Eric reassured him. "I think I might stop coming here altogether if you act too friendly.""Haha..." Elliot chuckled. "Avery said she sees you as her little brother, and her little brother is mine, so...""That's fine. I can be Avery's little brother, but I don't want to be your little brother," said Eric, refusing.Elliot was slightly offended at first, but he soon let it go. As long as Eric saw Avery as a sister, it did not matter if he treated Elliot as a brother or not.Everyone took their seats for dinner, and Layla said, "Mommy, did you have fun on your honeymoon?"Avery was slightly shocked by the question. "It was alright."They had taken a stroll along the beach on the first day, and they had ran into some tourists from Aryadelle who had recognized them and asked them whether they could take a photo with them.The next day, they had stayed in their room and did not go outside at all. They ha

"Should I recruit someone for you?" Elliot asked. "I can refer any eligible candidates to you.""I'll do it myself! You are busy with your own things. You don't have to focus on hiring someone for me.""Alright! I'll go back and have a look and send it to you if everything is fine.""Sure."Once they were out of the airport, Elliot told the driver to send Avery to her office.Tate Industries was in the direction opposite to Sterling Group, and the airport was located in the middle of the two buildings. Avery had decided to return to Tate Industries at a last minute's notice.She had been feeling rather confused as to what she was supposed to do next. She had two choices: one was to return to medical research, which she was more passionate about; or she could return to Tate Industries.She hesitated for a long time before choosing the latter, simply because she would have no time for her family if she had chosen the former.After everything that had happened, she felt that her

Avery stared at him in shock. "Avery, don't overthink this. The kids are growing up, and they have their own thoughts. As long as they don't make horrible mistakes and focus on their studies, we don't have to be so nervous," Elliot said and left, leaving Avery to walk into the building. As soon as she entered the office, Avery immediately called the new Vice President, who hurried to Avery's office shortly after.Avery was slightly taken by surprise as she did not think that he would look so young. Though she knew that he was actually in his forties, he seemed to have maintained his health well, and he looked to be in his thirties."Hello, President Tate. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Melvin Thornton. Glad to meet your acquaintance. You look far more beautiful than you do in photos.""Hello, Mr. Thornton.""There's no need for such formality! Just call me Melvin," he said. "Frankly, I feel a little hurt that you didn't invite me to your wedding."She froze for a mom

He then sent her a text message. [Do not hire guys.][???] Avery replied.[I will hire a man, and you will hire a woman. Alright?][... You really are petty, aren't you?][I'll be upset if you say that.][You can't be so sexist in your workplace! Anyone who qualifies should get the job, no matter their gender! Can we not be so stubborn?][So you are okay with me hiring a female assistant?]Without hesitation, Avery replied. [Of course! What's there to worry about? You have plenty of pretty secretaries in your office. When have I ever said a word about them? Not only are your secretaries pretty, but so are most of your female employees. I can't help but suspect that your company is hiring them for their looks.][I don't know. I've never placed such a request with human resource. I will go ask them about it.][Save it! I'm just chit-chatting. It's going to be embarrassing if you actually ask others about this! I think your company is filled with capable people who have good look

At noon, the news of Elliot hiring a new assistant became the talk of the town, as people like Elliot rarely hired outsiders. If he needed an assistant, he could choose one of his existing staff or take his pick from companies in the similar field, but he did not do so.The reason that everyone was talking about it was the offering that came with the job; according to the hiring advertisement, the assistant would receive a starting annual salary of 1.5 million and the sky was the limit. If the candidate performed well, they might be rewarded with some of the company's shares as well.No one could resist such an offer. Though it was rather difficult to meet all the requirements stated, there were still plenty of people who were eligible.Like Avery had mentioned, he would not have to worry about acquiring talents when he made a good offer."Elliot is hiring an assistant." Natalie's lips curled into a smile when she saw the news report."We already knew, right?" Holly said. "So, did

Madam nodded. "I know, but the question right now is whether Irene will be bullied by the other children at school.""If they dared try, she would surely fight back. I have already told her everything," the old woman said.Madam shook her head. "The school won't allow fighting. I'll take her to school later and talk to her teacher.""Okay. Let Irene try this school and see whether it works out or not. If it doesn't, she doesn't have to attend kindergarten. She won't learn much from it, anyway." The old woman cared about Irene. "She is used to playing with children in the chapel. Now that she's locked up at home all day, she's really depressed. She used to sleep well. She would fall asleep as soon as she lay in bed. Now, she can't sleep. Even if she does fall asleep, she wakes up in the middle of the night. I'm really afraid that she will actually be depressed if this continues.""I know that she's unhappy, but, until everything has been clearly investigated, she must remain that wa

"Alright. Under such circumstances, the child can be enrolled with us. I will talk to the teacher and the students in her class. The students should be able to accept Irene.""Can we let her try it out first? I'm afraid she might not be able to fit in.""Sure. She can start today," the principal said enthusiastically. "You can pick her up at five in the evening."Madam nodded before drawing Irene to the side and asking, "Do you want to go to school right now or wait until tomorrow?"Irene did not want to bother Madam, so she understandingly said, "I'll try it out right now!""Okay, then. I'll come at five this evening to pick you up. If I don't have time, Grandma will come to pick you up instead.""Hmm… I understand, Madam. You can go home!"Madam nodded. "Remember what Grandma told you. If someone asks you strange questions, don't answer them. If you feel that something is not right, try your best to hide immediately. Do you understand?""Yes, Madam."…In the evening, Ellio
