“Don’t go in! President Tates’ boyfriend is here. They are snuggling together,” the manager hinted to the secretary, “You should wait for him to come out before going in.”
The secretary looked anxious, “But Elliot Foster from Sterling Group is here and wants to meet with President Tates. I can’t just let him wait downstairs, can I?”
The manager was shocked. After taking a deep breath, the manager said to the secretary, “I’ll go down and talk with him first. I will find out why is he looking for President Tate.”
After speaking, the manager marched towards the elevator. Coincidentally the elevator door slowly opened once the manager was in front of it. A tall man walked out from it.
The manager looked up and saw Elliot’s stern and solemn face. He was so scared that he did not even dare to breathe out loud.
At that moment, he had forgotten what he had said to the secretary.
“President Foster, you are here. Let me lead you to President Tates’ office,” the manager flattered. He swiftly walked ahead of Elliot with his back bent a little to show respect.
When the manager was in front of the office door, he became a wuss. He had no courage to offend neither Elliot nor Avery.
“President Foster, this is President Tates’ office. You may go in,” said the manager.
Elliot frowned and did not hesitate to open the door with his long arm. He saw Avery sitting in her chair while Mike was sitting on the table facing Avery and playing with her hair. They were both very intimate with each other. Bang! Elliot kicked the door with his leg.
The loud sound startled Avery and Mike and they looked at the door with surprise. From there, they saw Elliot’s face looking horrible and sunken as if someone had offended him.
“Hi, Avery’s ex-husband!” Mike jumped off the table and marched towards Elliot as he greeted Elliot cheerfully.
Avery felt pain in her temples. Mike had no idea what a scary person Elliot was. It was up to Avery to stop Mike from inviting his own death. Avery quickly strode toward Mike and pulled him backward.
This action caused Elliot’s anger to slowly rise. What was the relationship between the both of them, Elliot wondered? Why was Avery being so protective of this inappropriate-looking man?
“Why are you here?” Avery stood in front of Elliot as she looked up at him, “Is there still reason for us to meet anymore?”
Elliot clenched his fingers so tightly that the paper in his hand almost ripped apart. He walked a step forward so that his body got closer to Avery.
Avery could feel the anger in Elliot rising and he could lash out at any time. She quickly pushed Mike out of the door and said,
“Wait for me outside.”
After she pushed Mike out of the office, she closed the door.
“Who is that man?” Elliot questioned Avery with her cheek slowly turning red.
There was no one else in the room spectating, so Avery was no longer afraid of Elliot.
“Elliot, don’t force me to be rude. I don’t want to fight with you,” Avery said as she took the piece of paper away from Elliot’s hand, “This is…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Hayden’s name on the piece of paper. Her body started to shiver and her face was full of terror and nervousness.
Elliot looked at the change of expression on Avery’s face coldly. His intuition became stronger.
“Avery Tate! Is this child mine?” said Elliot with a cold and sharp voice, without any trace of warmth.
Without any hesitation, Avery responded very quickly, “No. Our child was aborted a long time ago. This child… I adopted him while I was abroad.”
The only way to get through this was to lie. Avery must lie. If she did not, then Elliot would use all means to take the child away.
He hated children and he vouched to never have children in this life.
In addition, Hayden was different from normal children. Who knew what would happen to Hayden if Elliot had custody over him.
“Adopted?” Elliot frowned as he did not expect that answer, “Why did you want to adopt a child?”
“Because he was different from a normal child. I think he’s pitiful and that’s why I adopted him. This will be the only and last time that I’ll explain it to you, Elliot. Stop messing around in my private life. If you have so much free time on your hands, why don’t you go take care of your girlfriend?”
Avery threw the piece of paper into the shredder.
Looking at how emotional Avery was, Elliot suddenly felt as if he was being doused with a bucket of cold water. The anger he felt was instantly extinguished.
News traveled so fast that even Avery now knew he had a new girlfriend. He wanted to explain to Avery, but he realized everything he said would be funny.
“Avery, the new boyfriend of yours doesn’t seem good. You should have better taste in men.”
It was supposed to be just an advice and yet, it turned out to be mockery.
Avery was agitated by him and wanted to show him what it felt like, “Your new girlfriend is nothing good as well. You should have picked Chelsea instead. I wonder what were you thinking.”
Elliot gritted his teeth, “Have you ever seen Zoe before? To me, she is far better than Chelsea!”
Avery raised her eyebrows, “What do you know about my Mike? He may look messy and playful but he has a pure heart. Unlike someone who is not only in two but even three relationships at the same time!” Elliot’s face turned pale after being agitated.
Soon, he stormed out of Avery’s office.
After Elliot left the office, Mike returned into the office.
“What does your ex-husband want with you? He looks very fierce. Did he bully you?” Mike asked as he brought Avery to her chair and gave her a glass of water.
At first, Avery was feeling very angry. After seeing how attentive Mike was, Avery felt a little relieved, “He thought you were my boyfriend and I did not deny it. Will it cause any trouble to you?”
Mike blinked his eyes and said, “Just your boyfriend? If you want, I can be your husband. We can get married now.”
Avery said, “I don’t plan on getting married. Leave the space to write your true love’s name on it.”
Mike said with a depressed face, “I don’t plan on getting married too. My ex hurt me too deeply. I don’t think there is a true love for me in this world.”
Many years ago, Mike had a tumor inside of his brain. Avery was the one who operated on it and the operation was successful.
However, in the midst of his illness, his boyfriend who Mike had been with for five years, dumped him. After the operation, Mike and Avery founded Alpha Technologies.
“Stop thinking about the unhappy thoughts. Have you found a place to stay? I can book a hotel for you if you haven’t.” Avery took out her phone and wanted to search for a hotel.
“I’m going to stay with you. I have already brought my luggage to your house. Your mother was very friendly to me,” said Mike pleasingly, “Think about our relationship. Your house is my house. Why should I stay in a hotel?”
