NovelOnlineMaking negative assumptions about Avery was something Elliot would never do, but her conversation with Henry was like a stab in the back for him.
Had she ever thought that he, just like Adrian, was a human being too? Adrian might be in a pitiful situation, but did that give her a free pass to save Adrian at his expense? He would not have been that heartbroken if she consulted him first and received his consent before talking to Henry on the phone.
Chad sent him to the hotel and cout.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was almost July and the nights were getting warmer.
Chad already started to sweat even though it had only been seconds since he cout of the hotel.
He got into the car and dialed Ben's number.
"I don't know what to do now, Ben." His mood was severely affected by Elliot. "I feel like I've lost my job." Ben frowned. "Did he fire you? What did you do?" "I don't know what | did, but I don't think | did anything wrong." Chad took a deep breath, "But he just toldnot to call him Mr.
Foster anymore. How else am | supposed to address him?" "What about..."'Sir'?!" Ben gave him sadvice.
"| called him that when | first joined the company. When he was with the vice president, | called him that and they both looked atweirdly," Chad explained. " I've called him Mr. Foster since then. It's been a few years now, and all of a sudden, he toldto stop What does he mean?” Chad was one of the few people around Elliot who genuinely knew him best.
Unfortunately, Chad could not guess Elliot's thoughts, let alone what Elliot would do next.
An unknown fear appeared out of nowhere in his heart.

"I know it has something to do with Avery. He has no plans to go htonight, nor does he want to contact Avery. He even toldto lie to Avery and say that he was very busy. He never does that, not even when he got into all those huge arguments with her in the past!" Chad seemed at a loss. "Just keep this between us, alright Ben? He won't lettell anyone." "Where is he now?" "At the hotel! He said he won't be going to the company tomorrow." Ben's breathing becheavy all of a sudden, "What in the world is going on? They were fine yesterday. Didn't Avery just post a loving picture on her social media?" "She did. | have no clue either. But | can't ask Avery, :f":XJR: you shouldn't ask her either. If we do, then my lie will be exposed.
"Why don't you ask Mike?" Ben suggested.” Maybe he knows something." "He moved out of Avery's house," Chad said. "I'm positive he doesn't know anything." "Then our hands are tied," Ben said, "and we, as outsiders, have no business getting involved in their affairs. Don't they usually make peace with each other after they quarrel?" "But Mr. Foster always went to work like usual whenever the two of them quarreled in the past. | wouldn't've felt that there was a huge problem as long as he went to work as he always did. This time, he decided not to go. " Chad was uneasy. "Does he plan on quitting or something?" "In that case, let him rest for a few days!" Ben said. "There’s no point in us worrying. You should go on home. We'll talk about it tomorrow.” "Okay." At Elliot's mansion, Avery had just taken a bath when she cout of the bathroom and walked to the bed.
She picked up her mobile phone and saw no messages or calls.
Elliot seemed to have disappeared out of thin air from her world even though he kissed her cheek before going out that morning.
She called his number again but still couldn't get through.
If his cell phone battery went flat and his charger was broken, he could just use someone else's charger to charge it. In fact, he could do so anytif he really wanted to.
He could even get a new cell phone just to contact her if he so wished.
Were his clients or his work that important? Avery knew full well that he neither wanted to contact her nor did he have any intention of going home.
