Chapter 960
Avery was in good spirits after a good night's sleep, but the phone call from the vice president made her frantic with anxiety.After the phone call, she received the address to Sierra University from the vice president.Next, she had to book a flight and rush over.Just as she opened up the airline app, the alarm on her phone went off. She was so startled that she almost dropped her phone.She held her chest and let out a long sigh."What is there to be anxious about?"It is just a training course. It would be fine even if I was late." thought Avery. She had not taken her tardiness seriously while she was a student, and she saw no reason to take it seriously now that she was no longer a student. Besides, she was not the one who signed up for the course. She was already doing the vice president a huge favor by agreeing to attend it in his place. There was no reason at all to be so nervous.At that thought, Avery fell back onto the bed and planned on getting some rest.She g

"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

Mike heard the meaning behind her words, and he brutally shattered her illusion, "No matter where he's going, it's impossible that he's going to Sierra University. Why would someone as high and mighty as him willingly share the secrets to his success with a bunch of strangers? Take a look online and you'll see that he's never accepted many interviews. Besides, he's a man of a few words. Do you really think that he could stand up on stage and give a lecture?"Mike's words woke Avery up from her dream."I know Elliot. Why the heck am I harboring such delusions?!" thought Avery. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and Mike did not continue to make fun of her."How about I give Chad a call and ask him about it? Maybe he really is going to Mount Sierra?" Mike stopped making fun of Avery, but he could not stop himself from making fun of Elliot. "Mount Sierra is a nice place. They've got beautiful mountains and fresh air. It's a great place to go on vacation. Maybe he's just saying he

"It's not like he takes me with him on every business trip." Chad put down his glass of water, then asked sharply, "Why is Avery suddenly asking about Mr. Foster? Can't she ask him herself?""She left for a trip today, too. It's also for a week. Which was why she asked if I knew where your boss was going." Mike let out a hearty guffaw. "She was wondering if he was going to the same place as she is. I told her it was impossible! Why would Elliot Foster ever attend some ridiculous professional training course? With that temper, the only thing he is suited for is being the king of hell. He is certainly not fit to be an instructor! I can't even imagine his stone-cold face eloquently giving a lecture in front of a crowd!"Chad furrowed his brows as he felt that something was off. "Where is Avery going?""Sierra University. What about your boss?""Ah! He's going to Mount Sierra too!" Chad was suddenly in high spirits. "Is Avery going to Sierra Univesity to give a lecture too?"Mike burs

"Welcome to Villa de Sierra, Miss Tate." The staff member handed over an entry pass to Avery, then said, "You may only enter and exit the villa with this pass. Please keep it on you at all times."Avery took the pass. Dragging her suitcase, she entered the modern villa that thrummed with the grandeur of modern technology. When she stepped into the foyer, she suddenly noticed that the villa was much more spacious than it looked from the outside.She felt like she had walked into a majestic maze.She pulled out her phone and found the course schedule that the vice president had sent her. She dragged her suitcase and began to search for the multipurpose training hall.Soon, she arrived at the hall's entrance, knocked on the door, then walked in.There were about twenty to thirty men and women seated in the hall.After Avery entered the hall, everyone's eyes turned toward her at the same time.Her cheeks suddenly flushed. Just as she was about to apologize for being late, she hear

The entire hall broke into pandemonium!Up on the podium, Elliot's ears turned red.He knew that Avery was speaking out of rage, but he still had a strange feeling in his heart.However, this was a public setting, and he could not turn her into the target for scrutiny."Come up here, Avery Tate," Elliot said, then stepped off the podium and asked the students at the front row to move back a row.He had Avery sitting in the front row all by herself. Without anyone next to her, there would not be any more arguments.After Avery took a seat in the front row, she shot a glare at Elliot. Then, she pulled out her phone and texted the vice president right in front of him.[Elliot Foster is here too. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?]The vice president: [You wouldn't have gone if I told you about it. I spent forty-five thousand on that course. I couldn't just let that money go to waste.]Avery: [Can I just send you the forty-five thousand dollars and leave tomorrow?]The vice presi

"Can you not try and give me a bad name, Elliot?" Avery was trying her best to remain clear-headed and not get dragged into Elliot's tempo. "If I really wanted to chase you a thousand miles away, I wouldn't have let you come to the birthday party yesterday."Elliot pursed his lips. He wanted to say something but ended up keeping it to himself."I'll take you to your room to get some rest." He picked up her suitcase and walked toward the door."You know my room number?" Avery watched as he led the way, then said, "Did you really bribe my vice president? Where do you find all your courage, Elliot?"Elliot stood waiting at the doorway for her, then said, "It's now what you think. Your vice president asked me for help at the hotel yesterday. His son really is sick. He wanted to get a refund on the enrollment fees, but the organizers didn't allow it, so I helped him out with that. When I asked him to ask you to come here, he refused at first, but he changed his mind after seeing how wel

At that moment, the door to the room next door opened, and the woman sauntered sultrily into the room!Avery's eyes widened.She could not believe that Elliot was just flirting with her half an hour later and was now messing around with another woman!She instantly felt like the world was spinning around her. She could understand what was playing out in front of her.Their rooms were right next to each other, but Elliot had the audacity to openly fool around with a woman in his room. "Does he really think that the rooms are soundproofed and that I would not be able to hear him having fun?" thought Avery. Avery was so disgusted that she completely lost her appetite.She turned back into her room and slammed the door behind her!"What a joke! How could I have not seen Elliot to be the man he truly is?" thought Avery. She was too gullible and had thought him to be a man of integrity, who would keep his personal life in check!Avery was so furious that her cheeks flushed. She st
