He stretched out his hand to cover the receiver of his mobile phone, and whispered to Elyette, “Boss, Averie is calling. She said that your mobile phone can’t be reached, and the message has not been answered. She asked if you are off work, and asked if you are busy.”
Elyette: ” Tell her I’m busy and I’ll be home late tonight, and tell her not to wait for me.”
Chad immediately conveyed the boss’s meaning to Averie.
Averie responded in frustration: “Is your boss so busy now? I didn’t listen to him.”
“Yeah! I’ve been very busy recently. He didn’t tell you, maybe he didn’t want to worry you.” Chad said .
“Oh, then you ask him to call me back.”
“Okay, I’ll pass it on.”
After talking on the phone, Chad said to Elyette, “Averie asked you to call back.”
Elyette: “My phone is out of battery.”
“Oh, is your charger broken? I have a charger there, I’ll bring it to you…”
“No.” Elyette’s charger is not broken, he just doesn’t want to charge it.
His mobile phone was automatically turned off when he heard Averie’s call recording till the phone was out of power.
After listening to the recording all afternoon, he now only needs to think of keywords such as ‘Averie’, ‘Adrian’, ‘Henry’, and his heart hurts and disgusts.
Chad couldn’t help it, and he asked loudly, “Boss, what is the reason for you and Averie this time?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t say what you shouldn’t say.” He raised his cold eyes and looked at him coldly.
Chad immediately shut up: “I see. Do you want to go home tonight? If you don’t go back, I’ll go buy you dinner now.”
Elyette: “I don’t think so.”
“If you don’t give her a Call back, I think she may come to the company to look for you later.” Chad reminded, “If you don’t neglect her so much, she will definitely think wildly.”
“It’s precisely because I don’t neglect her, so she always don’t care about my feelings.” Elyette eyes were cold, and his voice was even colder, “I was never afraid of making trouble with Henry before. But now, I’m tired.”
Not tired, but tired.
Thinking about being used from birth. Now that he has become famous. he thinks that he can dominate everything, that he has found true love and a destination, but he still cannot escape the end of being used.
Averie said more than once that he would never lie to him again, and Elyette believed it. Now the beautiful illusion is torn apart, revealing the ugly lie.
Elyette is really tired.
Chad had never seen Elyette so depressed.
When Elyette was angry, Chad had seen it, whether it was a rage or cold-blooded revenge, but he had never seen Elyette cry tiredly.
Chad especially wanted to know what happened between Elyette and Averie, but he knew very well that he couldn’t find the result if he asked again.
And what he said just now was very clear, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t say what you shouldn’t say.
Chad not only couldn’t ask him what happened, but he couldn’t tell everything that happened now.
Foster family.
Averie and Layla are sitting at the dining table and having dinner.
“Mom, our house is so deserted.” Layla felt emotionally, “Uncle Mike is no longer living with us. My brother is not at home, and Dad is going to work again. Maybe he will work overtime every day in the future… A classmate told me that she can only see her father two or three times a month, because her father usually travels around for work.”
Averie: “Your father will not do this. Even if he works overtime, he will go home at night.”
“But if he comes back too late, I won’t see him. I go to school early in the morning, and he can’t see me.” Layla puffed out her cheeks, “My classmate said that her father had a woman outside, so she often Don’t go home.”
Averie was shocked by her daughter’s remarks.
“Layla, your dad isn’t that kind of person.”
Layla sniffed, “I don’t want dad to be like that either. I’ll be sad and you’ll be sad too. Brother will hate him even more. Then You call my father after dinner and ask him to come back early.”
Averie: “I have called your Uncle Chad, and when your father is not so busy, he will call me back. If he does not call I called back to show that he was on his way home.”
“Oh!” Layla felt relieved, “Mom, when are you going to see brother? I’m about to have summer vacation!”
Averie thought for a few seconds then said, “We can visit him anytime after your summer vacation.”
Layla put down her tableware and ran out of the dining room with a look of excitement.
Seeing that her daughter was so happy, Averie picked up the phone to see if Elyette had any reply.
As a result, still no.
Half an hour has passed since she called Chad.
It stands to reason that Chad should have conveyed what she said to Elyette, why did Elyette still not reply to her?
Whether it was a message or a phone call, as long as she didn’t receive a response from him for a second, she felt uneasy in her heart.
She dialed his number again, and the system beep was still heard.
Averie frowned, came out of the dining room, and decided to drive to his company to find him.
She wondered if he was busy with work and didn’t have time to look at his phone, or if there were other reasons.
Half an hour later, her car stopped at the entrance of Sterling Group Building.
The lights on some floors of the building are still on. She went straight to the lobby on the first floor.
The security guard saw her and immediately swiped her card to let her in. She took the elevator to the floor where Elyette’s office was.
With a ‘ding’ sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
The lights in the corridor are on, but the door of Elyette’s office is closed.
Elyette was no longer in the company. Was he already on his way home?
Her disappointment was greater than her hope. Always feel like something was wrong. Otherwise Elyette wouldn’t have contacted her for so long.
They have been very sweet since their marriage, even if they stick together 24 hours a day, they will not get tired.
How could his attitude change?
Did Henry and his son find him?
But she’d already negotiated with them, and they shouldn’t have the guts to provoke him. She squatted at the door of his office and dialed Chad.
Chad answered again in seconds: “Averie, what’s the matter?”
“Where has Elyette left? I’m at the door of his office now, and he’s no longer in the office.” Averie’s tone couldn’t hide her disappointment.
“When I got off work, I told him what you said. However, his mobile phone was out of power, and it seemed that the charger was broken. At that time, a client wanted to invite him to dinner, and then talk about the cooperation in detail, so he may now Let’s go to dinner with the client.” Chad worked hard to make up the reason.
Elyette was sitting in his car. Because Elyette didn’t want to go home, Chad took him to the hotel now.
Chad continued.Averie, why don’t you go to the company’s ground parking lot. If my boss’s car is still there, I’ll probably leave with the client.”
“Okay, I’ll go take a look.” Averie got up and walked towards the elevator, “By the way, what kind of person is that customer? Will he drink Elyette or mess around?”
“No. That client and the boss have known each other for a long time.”
“Oh. I see. Why don’t you send me the client’s number?” Averie asked.
“Uh…I don’t have the customer’s number. Because this customer is in direct contact with the boss every time.” Chad continued.
After talking on the phone, Chad looked at Elyette in the back seat.
