NovelOnlineAfter ordering, Lilith turned to Adrian and said, "Avery's company is in some deep trouble. | think she must need a large amount of money. Adrian, you are the current boss of the Sterling Group, do your job. Get some money for Avery!" "Okay! But what am | supposed to do?" asked Adrian.
"Make a call to Ben, and tell him that you are interested in investing in Tate industries... you know what, just tell him that you want to give some money to Avery Tate. If you tell him that, he would surely understand. Plus you are his boss, he must listen to whatever you say. Also, | think he is one of the people who wants to help her the most," explained Lilith.
Adrian nodded and said, "I don't have his number." "I do! Do you remember what | told you to say?" asked Lilith as she opened her phone, scrolled to the list of numbers that were blacklisted, and read out Ben's number to Adrian.
"Tell him that I'm planning on giving Avery money," said Adrian.
"Bingo! After the calls get through, just say that!" said Lilith.

After a few minutes, Ben finally picked up the call.
"Hello?" asked Ben.
When Ben's voice sounded over the phone, Lilith immediately glanced at Adrian, waiting for him to say something.
Adrian just stared at Lilith.
When another hello drifted through the phone, Lilith finally blurted out, "Moron!" Ben was shocked to hear Lilith’s voice, " Are you calling me just to call me a moron? Is this your new number?" "No! This is your boss's number!" said Lilith.
After a slight pause, Ben asked, "Elliot's? | thought you were at Bridgedale? Why are you in Ylore?" "Do you not know who your current boss is? How did you become CFO with that 1Q of yours?" questioned Lilith.
"Oh, you mean Adrian! Is this Adrian's number?" asked Ben.
"Why did you not have your boss's number? Do you really think so little of him?" asked Lilith.
"That's enough. | don't think you are calling me just to belittle me. So what is it that | can do for you?" asked Ben.
"Adrian, tell him," said Lilith as she pushed the phone towards Adrian.
"Hello? I'm calling to ask for help on behalf of Avery," explained Adrian "What?" asked a bewildered Ben.

Lilith could hear the confusion in Ben's voice, she snatched the phone out of Adrian's h>a#;PMY?s and said, "Adrian is trying to help Avery! Adrian is the current CEO of Sterling Group, he has the ability to allocate the revenue of the company... He wants to allocate a part of the money to Avery. You are responsible for the cash flow in the company, that's why he's calling you." Ben finally understood why they were calling him.
"I understand that you care for Avery. I'll call Mike and see how much money they need. Even if Adrian is my current boss, it doesn't mean that he can use the company’s money for his personal gain. | hope that you understand this," explained Ben.
"Adrian has a large stake in the company, and that in itself is worth a lot of money, right?" asked Lilith.
"Yes." "Just give that money to Avery!" said Lilith.
"Lilith, do you think that Sterling Group is your personal ATM? Adrian's stake in the company is only temporary, he has to return all of his stakes to Elliot the moment he returns, and he could return at any moment..." "Elliot would surely do anything he can to help Avery. It's not like we are using your money, what are you worried about?" asked Lilith.
"I'm not worried about the money. | just think that you haven't thought this through, the problem faced by Tate Industries is not only an economic one, what they need now is to adjust their strategy..." "I'm not interested in that! | don't understand a word you are saying. Call Mike! If he says that he needs money, give him money! This is your boss's orders!"
