“Averie, I still have something to talk to you about. I’ll send you home. We can talk on the way, “Elyette’s tone was unquestionable.
Averie grabbed her bag and followed behind him. Coming out of the mansion, he reached his hand out to her. “Pass me the keys.”
“How are you going to come back later?” After asking this question, Averie saw from the corner of her eyes that his bodyguard had driven another car over.
Averie sighed secretly. No matter where Elyette went, his bodyguard would follow along. Why did she need to worry about him?
After getting in the car, Elyette drove the car calmly. After the meal, Averie’s blood sugar spiked, so she was a little dizzy.
“Averie, what are your plans for the children during their summer break?” Elyette asked the question he wanted to discuss with Averie about.
Averie furrowed her brows and suddenly she was no longer groggy. Elyette was so concerned for Hayden and Layla. Did he already know that they were his children?
Looking at how sensitive her reaction was, Elyette could not help but explain, “You’re pregnant now. It’ll be harder to care for the kids. Why don’t you sign them up for summer camp?”
“Oh, Hayden’s school has arranged his summer holidays. As for Layla, I haven’t decided whether I want to sign her up for any summer activities,” Averie said conflictingly.
“You can discuss it with her, see what she wants to do.”
“I know. You don’t have to worry about this.” Averie looked at Elyette’s side profile. She hesitated for two seconds before saying, “Elyette, if you really want me to properly stay healthy for the child, you will stop bullying my friends.”
Elyette furrowed his brows. “Averie, the people you should warn are your friends. They were the ones that made me angry in the first place.”
“Of course, I’ll tell them to stay as far away from you as possible, but can you control your temper?” Averie said seriously.
“In your heart, your friends are always more important than me.”
Averie’s temples hurt. What was the point in comparing?
To prove that he indeed wanted Averie to stay healthy for the child and not make her angry, Elyette turned on the music and ended the argument.
Elyette drove to the Starry River Villa, but he did not enter together with Averie. When Averie entered and changed shoes, she saw Elyette getting into the bodyguard’s car from the corner of her eye.
This man was indeed stubborn and proud. If he insisted that he was not in the wrong, even if vou grabbed his head, he would never admit that he was in the wrong.
“Averie, have you eaten?” The nanny asked her immediately when she saw Averie returning.
“Yes.” Averie sat on the sofa and saw a few letters on the coffee table.
“Hayden took this home last night,” The nanny explained, “Also, Layla’s summer break is starting tomorrow. Mike went to attend her school activity today.”
Averie opened the letter. It was detailed information about the summer camp. She looked at where the summer camp was happening, it was in Bridgedale.
Averie could accompany Hayden to Bridgedale. Then, she would see if Hayden could adapt to the summer camp activities. If he could fit in, she would return alone. If not, she would bring Hayden back together with her.
In the afternoon, Averie drove to her office. The moment she entered the office, the vice president pushed and entered her office too.
“Miss Tate, the live stream last night was amazing! Our sales increased tremendously today!” The vice president smiled widely. “There are rumors on the internet saying that this is a tactic that you did with Elyette. Now the entire internet knows about our company!”
Averie laughed self-deprecatingly. “Then should we have given Elyette some commission?”
The smile on the vice president stiffened. “Did you really join forces with Elyette?!”
Averie said, “Can you use your brain for a second? Do you think that’s possible?”
The vice president said, “It’s possible! Isn’t the father of the child in you Elyette? The entire company knows about it!”
Averie was stunned.
“Initially everyone was just privately discussing who the father of your child is. Last night, Elyette suddenly arrived. Although he said nothing, he kept looking at you. It’s too obvious!” The vice president chuckled.
Averie said, “Eric was also looking at me last night.”.
“That’s different. If the child is Eric’s why would Elyette continue harping over you? Elyette is not the type who would let himself lose.” The vice president said vividly.
Averie opened her laptop.
The vice president continued, “Elyette boycotted Eric. So many big brands chose to cancel their contract with Eric because they did not dare to defy him. Only our company would dare to do so, why? Because you’re pregnant with his child.
“Last night during the live stream, many called me to ask me to advise you to not be so rash. They said that Elyette would surely come looking for us for trouble. Look at today’s headlines! I was laughing my head off!”
“Miss Tate, the scandal this time made our company the biggest winner.”
Averie opened her email to look at the job reports for the day. The sales last night were higher than the sales of the previous month. No wonder the vice president was so happy.
“If this trend continues, as long as our core technology won’t be surpassed by others, Wanda won’t be able to defeat us,” The vice president said confidently, “Eric is now our spokesperson. He has a huge fan base! Although he has been boycotted, that does not affect his fans buying our products to avenge him.”
Averie nodded. “I’m going abroad the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay. Miss Tate, your tummy is getting bigger by the day. You don’t need to come to the office. Don’t tire yourself from traveling. I will let you know at first notice if anything happens, “The vice president said.
Averie said, “Thank you.”
“The company is progressing so well, it’s all thanks to you,” The vice president lamented, “If your father in heaven could see how well you managed Tate Industries, he would be relieved.”
Averie lowered her gaze. She hoped her father could rest in peace.
During the evening, a black Rolls-Roice drove into the old Foster mansion. Ever since his mother passed away, Elyette has never come over anymore.
That night, his brother called him and insisted that he came over.
Elyette got out of the car and strode into the living area. Other than Henry and his family, Zoe was there too.
When Zoe met Elyette’s eyes, she immediately looked down.
“Elyette! You haven’t come for quite a long time! Let’s go have a meal and we can talk over it,” Henry said affectionately.
They entered the dining hall and sat down.
Henry cleared his throat and said, “Elyette, I called you over today because there is something important that I need to tell you. Zoe is pregnant with Cole’s child for about more than a month. Initially, I’m against them being together, but now that Zoe is pregnant…”
Elyette had no reaction on his face. “That’s good. I remembered that Zoe said she could not get pregnant easily. Since she got pregnant, she should give birth to the child.”
Henry let out a sigh of relief upon Elyette’s reply. “I plan to wait until at least three months then I’ll let them get engaged. As for the wedding, we could do it after the child is born. What do you think about that?”
Elyette said, “Just let me know once you set the date.”
Henry said, “Okay! We brothers have not drank together for a long time! We have to drink tonight!”
Elyette raised his glass and took a sip.
