Returning home, Avery felt empty.
In fact, it was not always that Elliot could reply to her messages immediately. If she was not about to ask him for his shares, she would surely not be that nervous.

She sent Tammy a message, [Tammy, how are you and Jun recently?] [Tammy: Nothing much. He has been quite busy recently | [Avery: When you send him a message, how long does he usually take to reply?] [Tammy: He'll reply when he sees it! Why do you suddenly askabout this?] [Avery: | sent Elliot a message at noon. He has not replied toyet.] [Tammy: Why don’t you just call him directly and ask? He must be busy, so he hasn't seen the messages, if not, he would surely reply to you | [Avery: | thought so too, so | don't think | should call him. He'll be back hby evening anyway | [Tammy: Hmm, didn’t you go to work today too?] [Avery: | brought Robert to get his vaccination, so | didn’t go to the office | [Tammy: Oh. | have never seen you coming tofor such a small matter! | always thought you always had Elliot tightly held in your grip. Who would have thought that the tables have turned! Haha] [Avery: A relationship goes both ways. He likes me, and | like him too. We hold each other together.] [Tammy: Yes! After divorcing Jun once, | realized that not only can't he live without me, but | would also be disappointed without him. How embarrassing!] [Avery: It's all in the past. Just cherish each other!] After chatting with Tammy, Elliot still had not replied to her messages. Avery put her phone to charge. She planned to ask him what he was busy about once he returned hfrom work.
At half-past five, the bodyguard brought Layla home. Avery's phone was fully charged. She unplugged her phone from the charger and looked at her chats. Elliot still had not replied to her messages.
Her heart instantly turned cold. She found Elliot's number and dialed it.
The call soon connected, but it was answered by the automated system, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later." Had he shut off his phone? Was his phone off because he ran out of battery, or was he in a meeting? Her heart was suddenly beating wildly. A bad feeling arose in her heart.
She immediately dialed Chad. Soon, the call was picked up.

Chad was stunned. He lifted his head ?f-= YJQ> looked at Elliot in his office, then he saw Elliot's phone on the table.
Elliot was not busy that day.
Chad covered his phone and said to Elliot softly, "Mr. Foster, Avery is calling. She asked why she can't get to you on the phone and why you aren't replying to her messages. She asks if you have gotten off work and are you busy." Elliot replied, "Tell her I'm busy and I'll return hlate. Tell her not to wait for me." Chad immediately told Avery what Elliot told him.
Avery responded in disappointment, "Are you all that busy right now in the office? I've never heard about it from him." "Yes! We are quite busy recently. He didn't tell you, maybe because he didn't want you to worry," Chad said.
"Oh, then get him to return my call!" "Okay, | will let him know." After the call, Chad said to Elliot, "Avery is asking you to return her calls." Elliot said, "My phone ran out of battery."
