His office door flung open. When Ben saw him coughing violently, he immediately walked over and gave him a cup of water."Don't come to work if you have not fully recovered! You never listen to the doctor."Elliot placed the cup down on the table and strode over to the washroom. Ben wanted to follow him, but he saw what was playing on Elliot's computer screen from the corner of his eyes."Eric, everyone is curious as to why you chose to collaborate with Tate Industries? Was it because they offered you a good deal?" The reporter chuckled.Eric looked at Avery and smiled. Just when he was about to answer, Avery said, "No. Eric told us that as he had been out of the industry for three years, we would only pay him the amount we would pay a newcomer." There was an uproar below the stage. Miss Tate, how do you know Eric? Are you two close? I see that you are both wearing cream sweaters…" The reporter sounded like a gossipmonger. Avery blushed a little."It's just a coincidence," Eri
"Avery has some tricks up her sleeves!" Wanda said coldly.Although Eric was not currently the hottest celebrity, he had been one! His comeback swayed the entire entertainment industry!Wanda did not understand why Eric wanted to help Avery. Previously, he had tweeted for Tate Industries, rescuing them once.This time, he actually wrote a song for them! How absurd! Wanda called Zoe. The call was soon answered."Zoe, do you know why Eric Santos is helping Avery? Are they secretly together?"Zoe was also watching the live stream. She was also in a bad mood.Eric was not only talented, but he was also very good-looking. Women would find it hard to resist his seduction."He already told us the answer just now on the live stream," Zoe said frigidly. "He said that he knew Avery when he was sick."Wanda did not understand what Zoe meant. "What's so strange about that?""He had been comatose! He would not have been conscious! Even if Avery had stood in front of him everyday, he woul
Elliot could see that Avery's life was good.…After Avery got in the car, she took a flask out of her bag, twisted the cap open, and drank some warm water.Mike waited for her to finish drinking before driving."What are we having for lunch?" he asked.Avery said, "It's not lunch yet, and I'm not hungry."Mike replied, "We can still decide where we're going for lunch now." Avery pondered for a few seconds before saying, "We'll have lunch together just this once, but I'll take care of my own lunch next time." Mike had to have meat for every meal. Avery was not interested in meat at all at that moment. Prior to finding out about her pregnancy, she had a good appetite, so if Mike saw her aversion to meat, he would definitely grow suspicious. "Are you trying to lose weight?" Mike asked suspiciously. "Avery, stop doing that to yourself! You're not becoming a celebrity. You don't have to compare yourself to them!"Avery clutched her forehead. She knew Mike would definitely make
However, Avery did not want to explain herself."Chad, tell your boss that Avery has gotten together with Eric!" Mike wanted Elliot to give up and stop harping on Avery.When Avery heard what nonsense Mike was spewing, she immediately snatched his bluetooth earpiece from him."Chad, don't listen to him," Avery said, "Eric and I are partners. Also, your boss was the one who returned the sweater to me, so I will wear it whenever I want to. In the future, if I ever get together with someone, I might wear this to the date too."Chad was speechless. Mike, that idiot! How dare he lie and tell him that he was not with Avery.Other than awkward, there was nothing else to describe his current situation."Miss Tate, it's your clothes. You can wear them whenever you want to. I'm just complaining to Mike. I don't mean anything by it. I have already realized that Mr. Foster is no saint. He has his flaws too. I will constantly remind myself of that in the future," Chad said."Hmm. Did he go
Elliot had just finished showering. Beads of water dripped from his hair. He had a dry towel in one hand and his phone in the other.When he saw the news, he tapped it with trembling fingers. After he read the Tweet, his eyes grew dark and cold! Since when had Avery accepted Eric's token of affection? Had she come over yesterday to tell him that she was in a relationship? Was there the need to do so?He threw his phone at the cabinet! It slammed into the cabinet with a loud bang.Wanda was enjoying a glass of wine in her European mansion. She swirled the wine in her glass. She looked at the news on the internet smugly before taking a sip of red wine."Do you know what celebrities are most afraid of?" Wanda said in Zoe's direction. "They're most afraid of losing fans. What would make a celebrity lose fans? The announcement of a new relationship. No matter how famous Eric is, he can't escape this!"Zoe admired Wanda."This would definitely hurt Eric. No matter how he tries to
"How manipulative! See, I said he was interested in you!" Mike was sitting next to her. He had clearly heard their conversation. "But if you're interested in him too, you'll be an item by tonight!""He is too young. Young people are impulsive," Avery explained. "I was once young too."Mike said, "I know! You were impulsive when it came to Elliot, and now you're paying the price." Avery was speechless."Avery, stop looking at Twitter." Mike touched her head. "The people on the internet are so rude! They say very harsh words! Don't take their words to heart.""I'm not looking at Twitter," Avery said calmly. "Even if I was, it would not affect me. I can still take it.""That's great!" Mike looked at the time. "Chad asked me out for supper. I'll head out first! Call me if there's anything.""Go! Don’t drink!""I know. I promise you I won't drink!" Mike said before grabbing his car keys and heading out.Avery turned off the lights in the children's room at nine. When Layla heard A
Avery did not see Elliot's message immediately because she had gone to bed after seeing Eric's Tweet.Early pregnancy was usually associated with nausea and drowsiness. For the past two days, she had found it easier to fall asleep. Usually, when she could not sleep, she had to rely on melatonin to get a good night's sleep.However, that night, she fell asleep right after lying down. She slept all the way until five in the morning the next day.If it were not for her urge to pee, she would still have been asleep.Once she woke up, the first thing she did was to take her phone and check the time. Instead, of seeing the time, she saw Elliot's message. She was stunned. She quickly took her phone with her to the washroom.Elliot's message read, [Were you looking for me yesterday?]'Yesterday?' Was it not the day before?!' Avery thought carefully.'Hold up!' she thought. She looked at the time he sent the message. He had sent the message to her at ten thirty! Avery felt chills run
As the President of the Sterling Group, Elliot felt terrible. First, she broke his heart, then he did not get an immediate reply to his text despite him initiating the conversation. He was in an utterly foul mood! He looked at her message with red eyes. He quickly typed on his phone, [I bet you're feeling really smug now, huh?] Avery was speechless. 'What a heated message,' she mused.Avery, however, took into consideration the fact that he had not slept the entire night. It was only normal that he would throw a fit.Avery calmed herself down and patiently replied. [It's almost six. Go to bed! I'm going to sleep for a while longer too.]After this message, Avery lay down once again.Elliot did not send her a reply. He had lost this round! In relationships, the person who first showed weakness would always be at a severe disadvantage!At seven thirty in the morning, the gates of Elliot's mansion slowly opened. Mrs. Scarlet was carrying her bag. She was about to leave. Shea l
