Avery could not help but smile. "Don't you have work in the afternoon?" "Work will never finish. I have to leave sfor my staff to do." Elliot paused. "I see your vice president is looking quite spritely." "Mr. Locklyn specifically got him over to help me. He works hard," Avery said with satisfaction. "Will you be attending our company's annual dinner?" "I'll go if you wantto," Elliot said. "The children will be on their winter break soon. We'll take them along." "Sure! Layla can come, but I'm afraid Robert won't be able to stand the noise." Avery took into consideration the fact that they will be sitting close to the stage. The sounds from the speakers might be too loud for children. "Why don't you stay hwith the kids!" Elliot was a little speechless. "Then what happens when it's my company's annual dinner?" Avery thought for a while before saying, "I'll go with you." "What about the children?" Elliot asked.
Avery replied, "Layla will be with Eric during her winter break. We'll get Robert to play with Tiffany or Kiara! As long as he is tired out, he won't make a fuss when we leave him." Avery's well-thought-out plan rendered Elliot speechless.

I want to see what the annual dinner will be like." "If you really want to come, come! But if the host asks you to give a speech on stage, you have to go. After all, so many people will be watching you. You can't feign embarrassment now, can you?" Elliot was speechless.
Returning home, Avery changed into her slippers. She felt instantly energized.
She carefully organized the gifts she had bought for the children. She had mainly bought gifts for the children at Hightide Church. She placed their gifts in two large shopping bags. A day before New Year's, she'll get the bodyguard to send it over.
She got them ssketchbooks, stationery, and sother accessories for the girls. She hoped that her action would bring swarmth to the children.
After sorting out the gifts. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. Layla had exams that day. She would chright after her exams.
Although exams were not physically strenuous, they took up a lot of brain power and that left one hungry.

Mrs. Cooper filled a bowl with chowder and placed it on the coffee table.
Avery had wanted to call George and ask him if Layla was done with her exams yet when Lilith sent her a message.
She sent Avery a photo. The photo was a bowl of soup.
Avery marveled at the coincidence, and she snapped a photo of her chowder and sent it over.
