At that moment, he only thought of torturing her badly until she begs for forgiveness!
However, the moment the idea appeared, he got rid of it immediately. She was still pregnant with his child at that moment. He could not be reckless!
If he wanted to be a competent father, he would have to learn how to control his emotions!
He grabbed his phone and left the room.
When Elyette arrived at the Sterling Group, Chad immediately entered his office.
“Mr. Foster, I was talking to Public Relations just now. Right now, we have two options,” Chad suggested solutions, “The first is to deny today’s news and say that you have never said anything about Eric.”
After Chad suggested the first solution, Elyette threw his phone on the desk. Chad picked up Elyette’s phone and noticed his email account. There was an email that was sent by ‘him’ to some reporter at three in the morning.
When Chad read the message, a chill ran down his back, spreading throughout his entire body.
“Uhm Averie sent this from your phone after you fell asleep?”.
Elyette’s gaze was so cold he could murder someone. “What do you think?” Would he have done such a humiliating thing to himself?
Chad did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Then, we can only use the second solution, which is to generously compensate the brands.”
Money was nothing to Elyette. The thing that made him furious was how Averie humiliated him! She crossed a line!
Could he not have discussed it with him before deciding? Did she have to secretly send the reporters an email behind his back?
“Mr. Foster, don’t you have a lock setting on your phone?” Chad kindly suggested, “Why don’t you set one now in case something like this happens again?”
“Can I lock her up?” Elyette said coldly, “She could still use my thumb to unlock the phone when I’m asleep!”
Chad forgot about this point. They slept with each other again the night before. This once again proved that Elyette could not resist Averie!
At Elyette’s mansion, because no one disturbed Averie, so she slept all the way until noon.
When she woke up, the memories of the night before flooded her mind. Her face turned hot!
Averie did not dare to stay too long in Elyette’s house. After dressing up, she secretly went downstairs and decided to sneak off.
“Averie, are you not going to explain yourself?” Elyette had a cup of coffee in his hands. He gritted his teeth and said, “If you dare take a step out of the door, I will break your legs!”
When Averie heard Elyette’s voice, a chill ran down her back.
Did Elyette not go to work, or did he wait for her to wake up at home?
Averie awkwardly turned around and looked at him. Elyette was in a suit, with a serious expression on his face.
The sun shone in through the window and fell on him, yet it made him look even more aloof.
“I did take your phone to send out an email,” Averie came clean, “I’ll admit that it’s wrong of me to take your phone without your permission, but you did not talk to me before you boycotted Eric.”
Averie admitted her mistakes, but she did not regret making them.
“Averie…”
“Why are you calling me? Are you trying to settle a score with me? I didn’t say I wanted to stay with you last night, you thug!” Averie raised her chin and retorted, “If I were you, I would shut up and just let this thing go.”
Elyette was at a loss of words upon hearing what Averie said.
Mrs. Cooper saw how they were arguing, she immediately came over to pacify the situation.” Averie, lunch is ready. You should be hungry, right? Come and have lunch!”
Averie’s stomach grumbled before Averie could refuse. She did not have breakfast that morning, so she was famished at that moment.
Ever since she got pregnant, her appetite increased tremendously. Even at times, she might feel slightly nauseated, but that did not affect her appetite either.
Elyette at that moment felt as if a bucket of cold water had just been doused over him. All his emotions calmed down.
“Master Elyette, go have some food too! Don’t get angry with Averie. She’s pregnant with a child now and it’s tough for her too.” After Averie left for the dining hall, Mrs. Cooper went to Elyette and took over the cup of coffee from him.
Mrs. Cooper’s advice worked.
So, what if Averie took his phone and emailed reporters? It was not as if she sent out his nudes. It was just a slight humiliation. Compared to his embarrassment, the child in Averie was obviously more important.
in the dining hall. They sat opposite each other.
Averie was starving, so she buried her head and ate with vigor.
“Slow down, don’t choke on your food,” Elyette reminded with furrowed brows.
Averie paused for a while before calmly scooping a spoonful of soup and drinking it down.
Perhaps she had enough food already, she suddenly felt like talking to him.
“Elyette, I heard that you have a new staff member that looks like me.”
“Are you talking about Chelsea’s cousin?”
“Do you think she looks like me?” Averie placed the bowl of soup down and calmly looked at him.
Elyette said, “Only on the outside.”
“Oh, do you think she looks better than me?”
Elyette looked up at her. “Have you had enough food already? You’re asking such lame questions.”
“Why are you not answering me? If you say that she looks prettier, I won’t do anything to you. I’m not like you, who gets angry so easily,” Averie provoked, forcing Elyette to answer her question.
Elyette put down the utensils in his hand. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said seriously, “If I think that she’s prettier than you to the point that it’s dazzling, the woman laying next to me in my bed last night would be her and not you.”
Averie was speechless. He could have just answered the question. Why must he bring up the incident the night before?
Looking at her scrunched-up brows, Elyette teased, “Now who’s the one who said that they don’t get angry easily?”
“I’m not angry. I just think that this is a little disgusting,” Averie said what was making her unhappy, “Could it be that they think I attracted you because of my looks? How absurd. I am so much better on the inside.”
Looking at how self-absorbed she was, the coldness in his eyes vanished. He teased in a hoarse voice, “Yes, I was dazzled by your inner beauty last night.”
Averie had goosebumps upon hearing what Elyette said.
“I’m full. I’ll make a move first.” “I’ll send you off.” Elyette got up and chased after her.
“No need.” Averie regretted it terribly. She should not have chatted with him. At that moment, not only could she not continue the conversation, but she was also feeling awkward too.
