Chapter 999
“Okay.”
Elliot Foster sent Avery to the Tate Industries’ offices. They arrived at a time when most employees were arriving at work. When the employees saw them, they gathered around to give their greetings. “Good morning, Ma’am! Good morning,
Sir!”
“How many points do you get for calling him, Sir? He is your boss’s fiancé now. Just call him Elliot or Uncle Foster.” Mike stepped out from the crowd. Avery glared at him. “You are early today?” “Is it wrong to come early?” Mike asked, glancing at Elliot again. “Is Mr. Foster’s wedding ready? There’s only one month left!”
At the mention of the wedding, Elliot felt anxiety increase the beating of his heart.
For the past week, he had been with Layla at Starry River Villa. So he had no clue how the wedding arrangements had been progressing.
“Dear, I’ll make a move,” he said.
After Elliot Foster left, Avery walked up to Mike and whispered, “I have something to tell you.” “What’s the matter? You make it sound so mysterious.” “I want you to help me find out which area my patient lives in now.” Avery said, “I have his number. Can you find his location through his number?” The two entered the elevator. There were other employees in the elevator so they fell silent. After a while, the two got out of the elevator and walked toward Avery’s office.
“What are you trying to find out about your patient? Is he in Aryadelle?” said Mike. “Avery, in a month’s time, you will be married. Don’t you think you should be focusing on yourself during this time? Knowing Elliot, he won’t like you getting involved in your patients’ lives.” “I talked to him about this issue. He supports me.” Avery looked proud. “Elliot is not as petty as you think!”
“Tsk tsk! I seem to have gotten a whiff of something, the sour smell of love!” Mike walked in front of her, pushed open the door of her office, and walked. “Can’t you contact your patient’s family?” “They didn’t want to talk to me. They think I’m annoying,” Avery said truthfully. “My patient called me DTG6|rCY said that his family treated him badly. He asked me for help. I can’t just sit here and do nothing.” “That serious?” Mike frowned. “You send me your patient’s number, and I’ll try later to see if I can find where he lives.”
“Cool. Keep this matter a secret. Don’t tell anyone,” she said. “Don’t even tell Chad. This is not
something you should be gossiping about.” “Oh, why are you so serious? I won’t say a thing.” Mike looked at her. “Avery, sometimes I really don’t like when you do these things. You have too much love. You’re good to everyone, like the central air conditioning unit.” Avery asked, “You feel uncomfortable if you don’t run your mouth for a day, right?” “I haven’t spoken to you for several days, have I?” Mike teased. “Lately, you and Elliot have been sticking together like glue. Do I even exist? By the way, Layla went back to school today. I suppose that Elliot should go back to his house now?” Avery raised her eyebrows. “You said he was my fiancé. Why do you think he will go? My house IS his house!” “Tsk tsk!” Mike was hurt. “Looks like I should pick an auspicious day to move out.” Avery said, “Help me find out the location of my patient first. Don’t worry about moving.” Mike gasped. “Oh, you remembered that I still have value, didn’t you?” “Get to work. Let me know as soon as there is a result.” Avery pushed him out.
It was three in the afternoon by the time Avery got back from the beauty salon. Not long after she sat down in her office chair, Mike pushed the door and came in.
Mike handed her a drawing. Then he stared at her radiant face. “Why didn’t you take Elliot to the beauty salon? He’s so much older than you and yet he doesn’t feel old. So why should you think you’re all rough?”
