Avery blushed awkwardly."Here's the thing. We would like to get Eric to be our spokesperson.""Oh, I see! Since you are asking, Eric will surely agree to it," Eric's manager said without hesitating. "Once he is done with work, I'll let him know.""May I ask how much his endorsement fee is? You can tell me, and I'll discuss it with Eric," Avery said."Are you planning to sign him on based on his market rate?" the manager chuckled. "His endorsement fee isn't cheap. Just last month, a makeup company wanted him to be their spokesperson. They wanted him to be their company's spokesperson. Are you planning to get him to be your company's spokesperson or are you signing him on to endorse a single product?""The company's spokesperson," Avery said."Oh, his charges for that are high! The makeup company offered him a nine-figure contract." The manager was afraid that the amount would scare Avery, so he chose to give her a vague view of the amount she would be paying if she chose to sign
Elliot came out from the shower. He heard Avery's phone ring, so he walked over to her and looked at the caller ID on her phone."Why is he calling you this late at night?" Elliot asked casually."I was the one who contacted him first. I'll answer the call. I'll tell you about it later." Avery walked over to the balcony.Ten minutes later, Avery finished the call and returned to the bedroom."Is it about the endorsement?" Elliot sat on the bed and looked at her."Yes! My vice president is quite anxious about getting Eric. He has already privately gotten Eric's manager's contact details." Avery placed her phone on top of the drawer. "But I have already spoken to Eric about it.""What's the price?" Elliot knew that Eric would surely agree to be a spokesperson, he was only curious about the price they had agreed on.Just as Avery had said, Eric had not demanded a large sum of money. He might even help out without any payment, but Avery would surely not agree to it."He said he wil
Elliot was as equally as efficient as Eric.After interviewing two candidates that morning, he quickly decided who amongst the two would become his next assistant. He sent his new assistant's resume to Avery.Avery had just finished signing the contract with Eric and was about to head out for a meal when she got his text.After getting into the car, she roughly glanced at the resume Elliot had sent over.Soon, she replied to his message, [Why does he look a little like Chad?][Yes, he does seem a little like Chad. He even sounds slightly like Chad when he speaks, but he has never seen Chad, and I think it is a coincidence.][Are you looking for Chad's body double?][…][If Chad finds out about this, he would surely be moved to tears.][…][Since you've decided to hire him, let's arrange a time to have lunch together with our assistants.][He starts tomorrow. Let's see his performance once he starts working.][I thought you were confident in your choice!][He used to work a
"Holly, the person that I found has gotten an offer from the Sterling Group.""Not bad. How quick! Looks like Elliot is very satisfied with him!" Holly said. "You judge people quite accurately.""Hmm. He said that he will let me know if he finds anything.""Let's just wait and see!" Holly was at a manicure parlor getting her nails done. "Can you go out yet?""I can, but I don't know if that person is still around my neighborhood. I'll take the trash out and have a look around later." Natalie was a little annoyed. "If he is still there, I will have to rely on you to get things done in the future."Holly replied, "It's fine. Right now, Elliot is focused on you, and that means that I'm safe. It's better this way too."Holly's words seemed quite logical."Then, let's keep in touch. If there is any progress, I'll let you know," Natalie said."Okay. If you are in any danger, let me know immediately. As long as you don't sell me out, I won't kick you when you're down."Natalie said,
Avery could not help but smile. "Don't you have work in the afternoon?""Work will never finish. I have to leave some for my staff to do." Elliot paused. "I see your vice president is looking quite spritely.""Mr. Locklyn specifically got him over to help me. He works hard," Avery said with satisfaction. "Will you be attending our company's annual dinner?""I'll go if you want me to," Elliot said. "The children will be on their winter break soon. We'll take them along.""Sure! Layla can come, but I'm afraid Robert won't be able to stand the noise." Avery took into consideration the fact that they will be sitting close to the stage. The sounds from the speakers might be too loud for children. "Why don't you stay home with the kids!"Elliot was a little speechless. "Then what happens when it's my company's annual dinner?"Avery thought for a while before saying, "I'll go with you.""What about the children?" Elliot asked.Avery replied, "Layla will be with Eric during her winter
Lilith typed back, [I understand, but I don't like going for a checkup, because every time the results come out, there would always be a bunch of minor problems.][Everyone has minor problems. As long as it's not a major problem, there is nothing to worry about.][I'll go when my period is over. I'm worried that my period will come during the wedding. It would be rather awkward if that were to be the case.][Don't worry. Relax. There are many types of brides out there, and there are even some with huge baby bumps.][Hmm! Ben plans to take tomorrow off so that he can spend time with me. I know that he gives in to me a lot. I always lose my temper with him, but I know he won't really be angry at me. I'm worried that when he dies, there will be no one that will ever love me as he does.] […][I don't dare tell him this. I'm afraid he might get angry once he hears it. Sometimes, I lose my temper with him because I think of the possibility of him dying in front of me, leaving me alone
When Isaac heard what Avery said, he immediately gave up his hopes of dating Juliet. Avery smiled and continued, "Isaac, there are many amazing single ladies in your office. They are all gorgeous, too."Isaac smiled awkwardly, "Miss Tate, I can't accept having an office romance. It's better to separate work from personal life.""Oh… our company has many single ladies, too. The next time when we have a staff party for both our companies, you could pay more attention to them," Avery teased."My current plan is to do my work well." Isaac wanted to show how serious he was about his work in front of his employer. "Your boss won't interfere with your love life. You don't have to be that nervous.""Miss Tate, I'm not saying this just for Mr. Foster to hear. The failure of my past relationship has me feeling a little tired," Isaac said. "Work won't make me feel tired.""Then, just work well, and readjust your feelings," Avery said."Hmm."After dinner, Elliot got Isaac to send Julie
At that moment, the driver stepped on the brakes and the water from the bottle splashed out.The water splashed onto Isaac's chest. Juliet's left hand was wet too.He immediately twisted the bottle cap close and apologized to Juliet, "I'm sorry! Are your clothes wet?"The driver looked behind and passed them a box of tissues. "I'm so sorry, a car just suddenly swerved in front of me. Such a terrible driver!"Isaac accepted the box of tissues and passed some tissues to Juliet."It's fine. Please drive safely," Isaac said, well-mannered.Juliet accepted the tissue paper and wiped her wet arm.Her wrist guard was wet too. It was uncomfortable wearing it, so she took off her wrist guard.The lighting in the car was extremely dim, but since she had such fair skin, Isaac could still vaguely see the scar on her wrist.It was as if an electric current coursed through him. He was in a daze.He glanced at Juliet's scar in a daze. He remembered the task that Natalie had given him…Juli
