She called and Oliver answered after a few moments.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hello, Mr. Raven. I am Avery Tate." She cut to the chase and said, "May I know when you will be free? I would love to meet you in person." He was taken by surprise for a moment. " Miss Tate, how did you get my number? I don't think we have any mutual friends." "We don't, but it's not that hard to find out. The medical field is a small circle and the friends of my friends might very well be your acquaintances." "Oh... Miss Tate, is there something you need?" Oliver already knew what she wanted but did not point it out.
"I need to talk to you about something important, and I think it's best that we meet in person. Are you free this afternoon?" She wanted to meet with him as soon as possible.
"I'm busy this noon and this evening... Miss Tate, I won't be free this weekend either." Oliver thought about the bodyguard that Dean had assigned to him. Dean said that it was to protect him, but he knew that the bodyguard was there to supervise his every move. Oliver might have agreed to meet with Avery without the bodyguard following him, but he did not have the courage to do so since he was being watched.
"Are you scared to meet with me?" Avery sensed that something was wrong. "Is Dean stopping you from doing so?" "Miss Tate, I suppose you already know who I am currently working for. You are right. I'm working for Dean Jennings, so stop bothering me." "How much did he pay you, Mr. Raven? I am willing to pay double! If that's not enough, I can pay you ten times the amount he paid you!" "What..." Oliver was shocked by her offer. He knew that his work was not worth the price she was offering, and even if Avery insisted on paying him, he wouldn't dare to accept it.

"I'm sorry, Miss Tate, but if I do that, I fear that I might face Dean's wraith. Please don't putin that position. I'm just an ordinary man who wants to make a few extra bucks to make my family's lives easier. I'm not trying to be rich or anything. Thank you for believing in my ability in the matter, but I really can't help you," he said sincerely and hung up before Avery could respond.
"Who was it, Oliver?" Mrs. Raven cout and set a glass of warm milk down before him.
"Avery Tate." "Why did she call?" Mrs. Raven asked in confusion. "Is she trying to get you to work for her?" "Yeah." He picked up the glass and took a sip. "All this ... I wonder who told her that I'm working for Dean right now." "It's a small world..." "She said something similar. All six of us signed the scontract, so why et did she contact me?" "How would you know that she has only contacted you?" Mrs. Raven chuckled. "She might have contacted the others as well!" "That's true. I feel less burdened now. Do you know how much she's offering me? She said she would payten times the amount Dean gave me." "Dear lord!" Mrs. Raven exclaimed. "Is Avery that rich?" "She is Elliot's wife, and she owns a few companies herself. She is definitely way richer than normal doctors like us." "Ten times, huh? Aren't you tempted, Oliver?" He shook his head. "She begged for my help. If I accept her money, I am declaring war against Dean. Avery is a virtuous person and Dean is an evil man. I can turn her down, but I can't afford to turn Dean down. Do you get it?" "I shouldn't have told you to sign that contract with Dean! We would b getting ten times more if waited a little while longer! Sigh!" "Stop yammering about money. I don't want to hear it!" Oliver set his glass of milk down and got up. "I'm going to work now. If Avery comes here, do not take her money, or I will be in a really difficult situation." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
