Chapter 963
“It’s not like he takes me with him on every business trip.” Chad put down his glass of water, then asked sharply, “Why is Avery suddenly asking about Mr. Foster? Can’t she ask him herself?”
“She left for a trip today, too. It’s also for a week. Which was why she asked if I knew where your boss was going.” Mike let out a hearty guffaw. “She was wondering if he was going to the same place as she is. I told her it was impossible! Why would Elliot Foster ever attend some ridiculous professional training course? With that temper, the only thing he is suited for is being the king of hell. He is certainly not fit to be an instructor! I can’t even imagine his stone cold face eloquently giving a lecture in front of a crowd!”
Chad furrowed his brows as he felt that something was off. “Where is Avery going?” “Sierra University. What about your boss?”
“Ah! He’s going to Mount Sierra too!” Chad was suddenly in high spirits. “Is Avery going to Sierra Univesity to give a lecture too?” Mike burst into laughter. “As if! She’s going as a student! Why do I feel like this whole thing is a f*cking setup?! Tell me the truth, Chad. Did your boss set this up?!” “No way! At least not that I know of.” “I guess that’s right. Our company’s vice president was the one who signed up for the course. Something came up at home, so he asked Avery to go instead. Your boss could not have possibly gotten to our vice president, right?!” “It probably really is a coincidence. Even the heavens want to set them up.”
“Bullsh*t. It’s more like the heavens find them annoying. Why else would they still not be married after all these years? Hercules had to endure twelve labors, but at this point, those two have suffered a hundred labors!”
“Who knows? This trip might have a happy ending,” Chad said. “Let’s hope so! Avery went too far today. She asked me when I was moving out of her place. Do you think she has grown tired of me?” Chad let out a cold chuckle, then said, “I bet you thought you were the popular golden child.” “Are you trying to pick a fight with me?!”
Chad cleared his throat, then said, “I’m really busy right now. Let’s talk again when I see you tonight.”
Mount Sierra was a natural wonder near the border of Aryadelle that was never subject to
commercial development.
Several years ago, a wealthy businessman from the Goldstein family had spent a fortune to build an extravagant mountain villa, and that shot Mout Sierra intoze stardom. By the time Avery arrived at the bottom of Mount Sierra, it was already evening.
It felt like time passed by quicker on the mountain than in thef2 city. A staff member picked her up and drove her up the mountain. As Avery gazed out the window at the swirling mountain roads, she could not help but complain, “Why do the wealthy like living out in the middle of nowhere? Do they think this shows off their status and positions? Don’t they find secluded areas like this4e terrifying?” The staff member chuckled and said, “Miss Tate, they say that Mr. Goldstein chose to build a villa out here after listening to the advice of a fortune teller. Mr. Goldstein’s health was poor, so the fortune-teller told him to move to Mount Sierra to escape misfortune.” “I see. Did Mr. Goldstein really get better after moving4e here?” The staff member continue to smile and said, “He died from an illness not long after moving here. Later, his son took over the villa and turned it into a university that focuses solely on the training of professionals.” Avery was taken aback and at a loss for98 words. The car arrived at Villa de Sierra about fifteen minutes later. She opened the door and stepped out of the car.
