"I'm having lunch with scolleagues,” Mike refused politely, "Why don't you head hand rest after lunch!" "Hmm, then I'll just head home." She could clearly sense Mike being aloof and distant from her, but her head hurt terribly, she did not have the energy to deal with it.
After hanging up, she walked back to her office and drove away.
She only had one week. She had to properly think about how she was going to bring that up to Elliot within the week.
At the Sterling Group. Elliot pondered for about two hours. He decided he was not going to ask Avery about it. Just like what Mike said, even if he asked her, she would most likely not tell him.
This thing could not have happened within the past two days. She had kept it a secret for so many days, how could she possibly tell him the truth at that moment? Unless he had evidence of her being threatened.
Evidence was easy to find. All he needed to do was get the recording of the call between Avery, Henry, and Cole.
He made a call, getting someone to investigate Avery's calls.
After the call, someone knocked on his door and entered his office.
"Mr. Foster, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Chad entered.
"I don't have an appetite." Elliot's face was pale. His tone was cold.
Chad was a little alarmed. He could not guess what had happened. "Then, I'll just buy something that you might like." Then, he left Elliot's office quickly.

"Hmm. I am only a lowly assistant, but you are different,” Chad said fawningly, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you too." "Okay! I'll go check up on him. Buysomething light. My stomach hasn't been doing well recently.” Atter the call, Ben cto Elliot's office. He pushed open the door =d'?PJS> entered. When he saw Elliot, he instantly understood why Chad was worried.
Elliot looked terrible. He was a completely different person when he saw him that morning.
"Elliot, get off work! Let's go have lunch,” Ben said in his usual passionate manner.
"Chad went to getlunch.” Elliot rejected him.
"Oh, then, I'll get Chad to getstoo," Ben said. He pulled a chair over and sat opposite Elliot. "What happened? Why do you look unwell? Nothing is happening to the company!"
