Avery, however, could not figure out why he would do that.
Since Henry and Cole would never be bold enough to look for him, could someone else have done so instead? Avery looked at the chandelier in a daze as she lay on the bed.
All of a sudden, a terrible thought appeared in her mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow was she supposed to ask him for the shares if he remained unreachable and did not chome? Although she felt that it was inappropriate to be thinking about such stuff at that time, it was undoubtedly a very desperate situation.
If she could not fulfill her promise to Henry in a week, Henry and Cole might torture Adrian! Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes when she thought of that.
She thought she had already experienced despair two days ago, but that was nothing compared to what she was facing then! What she was going through then was the epitof despair! Knowing Elliot's temper, he might continue to ignore her in the foreseeable future if she ignored him that day.
Even though they had children together and everyone was living at his place, no bargaining chip could hold him ransom the minute he decided to give up.
Avery had a sleepless night.
The next morning, she went to the Sterling Group.
When Chad cto the company, he saw her standing at the door of Elliot's office. He had long guessed that she would cto the company that day, so it cas no surprise for him.
However, he had to pretend to be surprised.

"He didn't chlast night, and he hasn't switched his phone on either." "Ah, this..." Chad called Elliot's number in front of her. "I can't reach him either." "Then I'll wait here!" she murmured. "We were fine when we parted ways yesterday morning, but after that, he just disappeared all of a sudden. Did he act weird yesterday?" Chad immediately shook his head. "Not that | noticed. | was really busy with my work. Letopen the door to his office. You have a seat inside :f..QMP; wait for him.
"That'd be great, thank you." Chad felt very guilty because he knew that Elliot would not cto the company today.
Avery could wait as long as she wanted but it would all be in vain.
After Chad sent her into Elliot's office, he immediately returned to his office. He paced up and down the office and eventually called Mike after much deliberation.
"Call Avery and tell her to go home. She is in Mr. Foster’s office right now, and he won't be coming to the company today!" "Why don't you just tell her?! " "Tell her? Are you nuts? Mr. Foster doesn't want to see her, and | can't tell you why exactly.” Chad lost his patience. "Hurry up and find a way to make her leave! And remember that you are absolutely not allowed to let her know a single thing!" Mike held the phone and cursed to himself.
Why did Elliot ignore Avery when he had been told to find a way to deal with Henry and Cole? How did it turn into that? He immediately rushed to the Sterling Group and pushed open the door of Elliot's office.
"Follow me, Avery." Mike grabbed her arm and took her outside.
"What are you doing?" She shoved him and refused to leave. "I'm going to wait for Elliot here! Letgo!" "He's not coming!" Mike roared.
