“Eric, your comeback this time, you must have a lot of choices, yet you pick Tate Industries. Are you close to Miss Tate? When did you know each other?”
Eric replied, “We got to know each other when I was sick. This song was also written when I was sick.”
Suddenly, someone below the stage demanded, “Eric, can you perform this new song live for us?”
After this was demanded, everyone cheered together too. Averie smiled and looked at him before retreating to the side, letting him have the stage.
At the Sterling Group, Elyette came out from the bathroom. Ben had already switched off the live stream on Elyettet’s laptop.
Ben could not understand. Since they have already broken up, why was he still concerned about her news? Whoever she ended up with is her own matter.
Why did he still care? Was he not hurt badly enough from the previous incident?
“Elyette, I’ll send you home!” Ben stood in front of him, determined. “Look at you right now. Are you planning to die in the office?”
Elyette’s face turned blue. He clenched his fists tightly and strode over to the elevator. Ben
followed behind him.
“She came looking for me yesterday,” Elyette said in a low hoarse voice when he entered the elevator.
Ben looked at him in disbelief. “You said Averie went looking for you yesterday?”
“I didn’t see her.” Elyette’s Adam’s apple moved a little. “She deliberately wore the cream sweater today to annoy me.”
Ben found it hard to believe that Averie was this type of woman.
However, the wound in Elyette’s heart constantly reminded him that he did not understand Averie very well.
“If you don’t love her, no matter what she wears, it will not provoke you,” Ben went straight to the point, “You can’t change her, so change yourself.”
It was easier said than done!
If he could force himself to not love her, he would not be in so much pain up till that moment.
At the hotel, after Eric sang his new song, the atmosphere there was at its peak!
After that, Averie, as the President of the company, explained to everyone the direction in which Tate Industries was growing. She also introduced the upcoming products and explained their functions.
Because Eric had always been standing next to Averie, the viewers of the live stream did not reduce but increased on the contrary.
The marketing effect of Tate Industries was at its most effective.
At Wonder Technology, when Wanda saw the live stream, she was so furious her facial expressions were distorted.
“Averie has some tricks up her sleeves!” Wanda said coldly.
Although Eric was not the hottest celebrity at that moment, he once was! His official comeback that day had sensationalized the entire entertainment industry!
Wanda did not understand why Eric wanted to help Averie. Previously, hè tweeted for the Tate Industries, rescuing them once.
This time, he actually wrote a song for them! How absurd!
Wanda dialed Zoe. The call was soon picked up.
“Zoe, do you know why Eric Santos is helping Averie? Are they secretly together?”
Zoe was also watching the live stream. She was also in a bad mood.
Eric was not only talented. He was also very good-looking. The women would find it hard to resist hiszd seduction.
“He already told us the answer just now at the live stream,” Zoe said frigidly, “He said that he knew Averie when he was sick.”
Wanda did not understand what Zoe meant. “What’s so strange about that?”
“He was a vegetable previously! They don’t have consciousness! Even if Averie was in front of him every day, he would not get to know Averie! So, he must have known Averie after he was cured! How was he cured? Why was he so nice to Averie? Isn’t that clear?”
Wanda was shocked. “Are you saying Averie cured him!”
Zoe gritted her teeth. “Yes! Averie must have cured him! He must be grateful to Averie for saving his life, which is why he is doing everything to pay back!”
Wanda suddenly laughed.
Zoe was confused. “What are you laughing at? Averie has Eric as her trump card! You should find a way to stop her!”
“Since when did Averie become so great? Why have I never heard of it before? She could cure a vegetable? If she really has the abilities , why does she have to open a company? She should just be a doctor and cure patients. Look at you treating Shea. Elyette has paid you three hundred million. Isn’t that much more than operating a company?”
Wanda went against Zoe’s speculation.
Zoe said, “If you don’t believe me, forget about it! I’m not planning to persuade you!”.
TEL
Wanda said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, I don’t believe Averie! How could she be so great!
Zoe took a deep breath. “Initially, I didn’t believe how great she was either, but…this was a fact that I can’t ignore even if I can’t believe it! Lying to myself would only make a fool out of
me!”
The smile on Wanda’s face completely vanished.
“Are you afraid already?” Zoe mocked when she did not hear a response from Wanda, “If I knew you were only like that, I wouldn’t have invested all my money in you!”
Wanda was provoked, “Zoe, you have been defeated by Averie. Do you think everyone is like you? Just wait and see!”
Zoe was not angry, on the contrary, she laughed. “I’ll just wait and see how you defeat her!”
At the hotel, after the official signing ceremony ended, Eric got into a black sedan under the protection of bodyguards.
The fans waiting outside the hotel screamed!
Averie was behind Eric. She looked at the group of people swarming all over. She truly felt the difference between celebrities and ordinary people.
After Eric left, the fans waiting outside dispersed too.
Not far away, a black Rolls-Roice was parked there. Elyette was in the car.
After the crowd dispersed, he looked at Averie in the cream sweater with cold eyes. She was talking to Mike. Mike affectionately wrapped his arms around her shoulders, taking her to the parking lot.
This scene broke his heart.
Averie never had a shortage of men protecting her.
Ben was gripping the steering wheel. He looked at Elyette’s cold yet pained expression. “Elyette, forget about her! Without you, she is still doing well.”
Elyette could see. Averie was indeed doing well.
After Averie got in the car, she took a flask out from her back, twisted the cap open, and drank some warm water.
Mike waited for her to finish drinking before moving the car.
“What are we having for lunch?” He asked.
Averie said, “It’s not lunch yet, I’m not hungry.”
Mike replied, “We could still decide beforehand!”
Averie pondered for a few seconds before saying, “Next time, I’ll deal with lunch on my own.
Mike had to have meat for every meal. Averie was not interested in meat at all at that moment. Before her pregnancy, she had a good appetite, so if Mike saw her not eating meat, he would definitely be suspicious.
“Are you trying to lose weight?” Mike asked suspiciously, “Averie, stop doing that to yourself! You’re not becoming a celebrity. You don’t have to compare yourself to them!”
Averie clutched her forehead. She knew Mike was meticulous, he would surely simply speculate.
“I’m not going on a diet. I just don’t want to have lunch with you.”
“Why? If you don’t have lunch with me, who are you having lunch with?”
Averie said, “I think we should still keep some distance. I heard what Chad said last night. You care so much about Chad and Elyette’s relationship, what if Chad also cares about your relationship with me?”
Mike was speechless.
