They had meat stew for lunch.
It has already been two days since Averie touched any meat.
She no longer felt disgusted anymore, so she was craving it a little.
“Averie, you usually don’t have spicy food, don’t you?” Tammy saw that she had put quite a bit of pepper in her bowl so she was slightly surprised.
Averie had a piece of meat with the pepper and her appetite instantly increased. “It’s fine to have a little once in a while.”
“Why do I feel that you’re getting thinner and thinner? Are you not eating properly?” Tammy asked with puzzlement as she stared at Averie’s thin face.
Averie said sheepishly, “Is that so? It’s just your illusion.”
After she had happily eaten her fill, she took out her phone and sent a message to Eric, asking him if he was free on the first of May.
She did not expect him to reply so quickly.
After he had explained the matter to him, he quickly agreed.
“Tammy, Eric said he will be coming to attend your wedding on the first of May.”
As soon as she finished saying that loud cheers of excitement instantly sounded!
Tammy, Lisa, and Ellie were all crazily excited.
In just a blink of an eye, Tammy told Jun thead news.
Jun then told Ben the news.
“My wife said Averie was the one who invited him,” Jun said resentfully, “I suddenly don’t want to get married anymore. My wife is Eric’s fan…a crazy fan! Her good friends as well… I should say that almost all those women are Eric’s fans. When the time comes, who would be looking at me? All of them would be looking at Eric! As the groom, all my thunder would be stolen. This is completely different from what I imagine the wedding would be!”
Jun felt upset, but he did not dare to tell Tammy.
Ben sympathized with him very much but felt a little delighted about his misfortune as well.” Don’t worry. You won’t be the only person feeling upset. Eric likes Averie. Elyette would probably be upset as well.”
Averie had only worn a white sweater yesterday, which coincidentally became so-called matching outfits with what Eric had worn, and Elyette was furious.
If Averie truly were to date Eric, perhaps Elyette would be up all night losing sleep.
“Does Elyette have a masochistic tendency? If any woman dared to hurt me, it would already be very kind on my part to not hurt her twofold. It would absolutely be impossible for me to continue liking her.” Jun was puzzled.
Ben said very objectively, “It’s not exactly a masochistic tendency. After all, Averie was once heartbroken as well. He is just more stubborn, no matter if it’s the career or the person that he likes.”
Once he had made up his mind, he would never change his mind anymore.
Others would turn back when they hit a dead-end, but he would not even turn back if he had hit a dead-end.
“Oh, then should we tell him about this?” asked Jun.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ben said, “I’ll find a chance to tell him.
At three in the afternoon, Averie got back to her company.
Before she pushed open her office door, Mike called out to her.
“Averie, come over here!”
Averie strode over to Mike as soon as she heard that. “What’s the matter?”
Mike took her by the arm and brought her to the reception room.
A man and a woman were sitting inside the reception room.
“They are the staff from Fashion Forward, the magazine, and they would like to interview you, “Mike whispered in Averie’s ear, “I have checked them out. Fashion Forward is quite famous. See if you want to accept being interviewed by them.”
After Averie gave it a quick thought, she nodded.
“Hello,” Averie greeted the staff.
The staff said politely, “Hello, Miss Tate. We can first conduct a simple interview. After that, you may come to our studio to have some photos taken when you are free. If you are free now, we can start the interview immediately. It will take up around half an hour of your time.”
Averie looked at the time and gladly agreed.
“Miss Tate, would you have an even more in-depth collaboration with Eric after this? For example, invite him to be the ambassador. Have you ever considered that?” The reporter mentioned Eric right off the bat.
Averie was not the least bit surprised at all.
If the scandal between her and Eric had not gone viral last night and caused a ruckus, this kind of fashion magazine would not have come to interview her at all.
“There are no plans for that at the moment,” she replied.
“Eric said that you are a goddess to him, then is he your dream hunk?” the reporter asked while smiling
That question made Averie hesitate for a moment. “He could be considered so! I admire him very much.”
“We found out online that you once had a relationship with the president of the Sterling Group, Elyette Foster. May I know if this is true?” The reporter’s questions got more and more
tricky.
Of course, Averie would not answer that question.
She could not show too much resistance as well, so she implicitly said, “You shouldn’t mention any questions related to him. I’m afraid that when the time comes, your magazine won’t be able to be distributed smoothly.
Her answer made the gossipy staff of the magazine aware of their foolishness.
“Alright, Miss Tate. You have studied medicine. Why did you think of starting your own business after you graduated? What is the motivation that made you choose to go into business?”
Averie furrowed her brows slightly at that question.
If she were to answer it seriously, it would take more than a day and a night for her to finish her story
She planned to deal with them as simply as possible.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, an insuppressible nauseated feeling emerged withined her.
She covered her mouth with one hand and rushed out toward the washroom outside.
“Miss Tate! What’s wrong?” Both the staff also rushed over.
The incident happened too quickly and no one could react in time.
After Averie ran to the washroom, she threw up into the toilet bowl!
She threw up everything that she had eaten during lunch.
Because it was too uncomfortable, tears welled up in her eyes.
After her stomach was emptied from throwing up, the sense of discomfort instantly vanished without a trace.
She flushed the toilet and leaned against the wall to stabilize herself.
Mike rushed over with strides into the washroom as soon as he heard.
“Averie, what’s the matter?” Mike grabbed her arms and pulled her around to make her face him. “Why is your face so pale? Did you throw up?”
Averie pulled his big hands away and walked over to the sink. She turned on the tap and got some water to wash her face. “I had meat stew together with Tammy for lunch, and we ordered a bit too much. I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I overate.”
“You could’ve packed the food if you couldn’t finish it! Why did you stuff yourself until you
threw up?” Mike furrowed his brows and said, “I will send you back to rest.”
Averie said, “The interview is not over yet! I will go back on my own after the interview has ended.”
“You’ve already thrown up. Other matters can first be put aside.”
“I don’t feel uncomfortable now.” After she had washed her face, she felt a lot more relaxed. Therefore, when she walked out of the washroom, she said, “Mike, leave me be. Carry on with your work!”
After saying that, she said to the two staff apologetically, “I’m sorry! Let’s continue!”
Because she was not feeling well, the two staff just followed up with a few simple questions, and then they ended the interview.
After she had sent the people from the magazine away, Averie returned to her office to grab her bag and prepared to go home.
