NovelOnlineAfter the meeting ended, Mike was naturally worried.
Mike would probably be less worried if the executives did not seem so calm.
Mike called Chad out for lunch.
"Not only did they not blame me, they even tried to comfort me. They said that they didn't blame me and | don't have to feel bad, " said Mike as he took a swig out of the can of beer in his hand.
Chad watched how worried his friend was, he could not help but feel sorry for him, he knew that Mike hadn't gotten a good night's sleep ever since this whole ordeal happened.
Even if it was in no way, shape, or form his problem, Mike still decided to shoulder the responsibility.

"You could call Avery, and see if she has any advice for you? It doesn't matter what she says, you could at least get another opinion on this matter," suggested Chad.
"She just got out of surgery, there is no way am | going to trouble her now! She also said that it doesn't matter if the company goes bankrupt, she’s ready to accept it. I'm the only one who can't accept the company going bankrupt!" exclaimed Mike.
"If she doesn't think it's a problem, why are you so hung up over it?" asked Chad.
"Because I'm partially responsible for it! That's why I'm hung up! | can't help but feel that | must be blind to trust him! He already betrayed me once, and now he came to finally finish the job. Fuck! Just thinking about it makes me want to go and end him now!" exclaimed Mike.
"That's enough, come on, drink," said Chad as he handed him another can of beer.
"I don’t want to see the company bankrupt. If Elliot was here, there's no way he would let the company go bankrupt. | have to at least make sure that the company is still here when Elliot comes back!" said Mike.
"Are you sure you can hold on until then?' asked Chad.
"He could be back sooner than we think!" said Mike.
Chad stayed silent. He didn't want to crush Mike's final hope.
Hope might be the only thing Mike has left.
Before long, a whole week had passed, and Avery was still stuck in the hospital. Avery tried to do anything she could to get out of the hospital, but her doctor was adamant that she stayed in the hospital after her latest results were in.
"Miss Tate, unless you are going to transfer to another hospital, there's no way I'm allowing you to go out of these doors," said the doctor.
"You need to stay for a month after the surgery," explained the doctor.

"| feel fine, like I'm totally recovered," said Avery.
"Miss Tate, you too are a doctor. If you were in my shoes
"If something were to happen to me, you wouldn't be held liable. Even if after | go back to Aryadale, if | feel anything is off, | would immediately seek medical attention, " promised Avery.
"I'm still not letting you go," said the doctor.
As both of them continued to argue on the issue, Elliot walked into the room.
"Ms. Foster, thank god you are here. Ms. Tate here is still not fully recovered, yet she insists on leaving. | can't let her go..." complained the doctor.
Elliot stopped the doctor, "Let her go."
