Mike heard the meaning of her words and broke her fantasy mercilessly: “No matter where Elyette goes on business, it is definitely not the Hallstatt University you are going to. He is such a proud and pretentious person. How could he be willing to talk to you? Others share his successful experience? You search online, he has hardly ever given personal interviews, and with his character like gold, do you think he can stand on the podium and give lectures?”
Averie woke up like a dream.She clearly knew Elyette, why did she still make unrealistic fantasies?She blushed in embarrassment, and Mike didn’t continue to laugh at her.
“Why don’t you call Chad and ask? What if he really went to Hallstatt?” Mike didn’t laugh at her, but he couldn’t help laughing at Elyette, “Hallstatt is a good place, the environment on the mountain is beautiful and the air is fresh and a good place for leisure and vacation, what if he goes to the green hills to play in the name of a business trip?”
Averie’s temple throbbed: “Whether he goes on a business trip or a vacation, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to know that he goes Where, don’t ask Chad, don’t say anything.”
She peeled a boiled egg and put it on Mike’s plate.
“What time is your flight? I’ll take you to the airport.” Mike asked after biting into the egg.
Averie lowered her eyes and said, “I haven’t bought a ticket yet! I’m a little confused. I’m totally unprepared. I was going to go to work today.”
Seeing her gloomy, Mike comforted: “Hallstatt is a good place, but has not been developed, isolated from the world, especially quiet, you should go to retreat for a week!”
Averie said, “What image do I have in my heart? If there is no internet there, I promise I will leave as soon as I get there.”
“How can there be no internet? That kind of CEO training camp where all the CEOs go, you won’t stay without internet, and they can’t stand it without internet.” Mike teased.
“I can’t stay there without the internet. I have to make videocall with my kids every day.”
“Okay, don’t be sad. The week is fast.”
“Well, I’ll go pack.” She put down the dishes and finished the milk then go back to her room.
After she left the dining room, Mike took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Chad: Where is your boss on a business trip?
Chad was busy and didn’t see any news from him.
After a while, Mike drove Averie to the airport.
Arriving at the airport, Mike’s cell phone rang, and the company called him and asked him to go to the company immediately.
“Go back to the company! I’m fine now.” Averie took the suitcase from him, and her mood was completely calm.
If Vice President told her about it yesterday, she would not be so bored this morning.
Mike reached out and touched her head, “Call me when you arrive, and come back if you’re really uncomfortable! You don’t have to stay there for a week. The vice president is not your father, so you don’t have to do it for him.”
Averie couldn’t help but laughing: “Thank you for enlightening me, don’t do this next time.”
The vice president worked with my father for a long time, although he was only a small supervisor before, but later Tate Industry was rebuilt and he helped a lot.
Mike saw Averie enter the waiting room, and then left the airport. He drove in the direction of the company. On the way, Chad’s phone calls.
“I’m so busy today! What are you asking my boss for?” Chad took a mobile phone in one hand and a water glass in the other, and took a sip.
“I didn’t ask, it was Averie.” Mike asked, “Why didn’t your boss take you on a business trip?”
“It’s not like he takes me with him on every business trip.”
Chad put down his glass of water, then asked sharply, “Why is Averie suddenly asking about Mr.Foster? Can’t she ask him herself?”
“She left for a trip today, too.It’s also for a week.Which was why she asked if I knew where your boss was going.”
Mike let out a hearty guffaw.
“She was wondering if he was going to the same place as she is.I told her it was impossible! Why would Elyette Foster ever attend some ridiculous professional training course? With that temper, the only thing he is suited for is being the king of hell.He is certainly not fit to be an instructor! I can’t even imagine his stone-cold face eloquently giving a lecture in front of a crowd!”
Chad furrowed his brows as he felt that something was off.
“Where is Averie going?”
“Sierra University.What about your boss?”
“Ah! He’s going to Mount Sierra too!”
Chad was suddenly in high spirits.Is Averie going to Sierra Univesity to give alecture too?”
Mike burst into laughter.
”As if! She’s going as a student! Why doI feel like this whole thing is a f*cking setup?! Tell me the truth, Chad.Did your boss set this up?!”
“No way! At least not that I know of.”
“I guess that’s right.Our company’s vice president was the one who signed up for the course.Something came up at home, so he asked Averie to go instead.Your boss could not have possibly gotten to our vice president, right?!”
“It probably really is a coincidence.Even the heavens want to set them up.”
“Bullsh*t.It’s more like the heavens find them annoying.Why else would they still not be married after all these years? Hercules had to endure twelve labors, but at this point, those two have suffered a hundred labors!”
“Who knows? This trip might have a happy ending,” Chad said.
“Let’s hope so! Averie went too far today.She asked me when I was moving out of her place.Do you think she has grown tired of me?”
Chad let out a cold chuckle, then said, “I bet you thought you were the popular golden child.”
“Are you trying to pick a fight with me?!”
Chad cleared his throat, then said, “I’m really busy right now.Let’s talk again when I see you tonight.”
Mount Sierra was a natural wonder near the border of Aryadelle that was never subject to commercial development.
Several years ago, a wealthy businessman from the Goldstein family had spent a fortune to build an extravagant mountain villa, that shot Mout Sierra into stardom.
By the time Averie arrived at the bottom of Mount Sierra, it was already evening.
It felt like time passed by quicker on the mountain than in the city.
A staff member picked her up and drove her up the mountain.
As Averie gazed out the window at the swirling mountain roads, she could not help but complain, “Why do the wealthy like living out in the middle of nowhere? Do they think this shows off their status and positions? Don’t they find secluded areas like this terrifying?”
The staff member chuckled and said, “Miss Tate, they say that Mr.Goldstein chose to build a villa out here after listening to the advice of a fortune teller.Mr.Goldstein’s health was poor, so the fortune-teller told him to move to Mount Sierra to escape misfortune.”
