Averie continued, “We’ll eat on our own in the future. We can still head back home together after work.”
Mike said, “Oh…okay!”
At that moment, Mike’s phone rang. He fished his phone out and had a look at who was calling. He slowed the car down and put on his Bluetooth earpiece.
“Are you with Averie right now?” On the other end of the line, Chad’s voice came through.
Mike glanced at Averie. “N-N…. What’s going on?”
He only lied because he wanted to know what Chad was about to say.
Chad said, “Do you know where Averie’s cream sweater she wore today came from? She’s terrible! She made the sweater for Mr. Foster previously…”
Mike looked at the cream sweater on Averie and said calmly, “Oh. If she gave your boss the sweater, why is it in her hands?”
Chad exhaled. “Perhaps he returned it to her after they broke up!”
“Since he has returned it to Averie, Averie will wear it whenever she wants to! What the hell does it have to do with your boss!” Mike was gradually getting infuriated. He did not mince his words.
Chad did not expect that Mike would be so fierce.
“My point is, Averie is doing that only to provoke Mr. Foster! She must have agreed to do so with Eric! How dare they wear white together. What? Are they trying to announce their relationship? Mr. Foster saw the live stream this morning! He was pissed off!”
“Since he has already seen the live stream, he should have already heard Eric’s explanation, right? What is he upset about? Does he expect Averie to be single for the rest of her life to please him?”
Mike’s question made Chad ponder silently. Mike made sense. Why was his boss so angry then? They have long split up and even tried to kill each other. Logically speaking, there should not be any feelings for each other left!
Averie was sitting in the front passenger seat. She could basically guess what Chad said.
The reason she wore the cream sweater that day was because Eric requested that she wore the necklace the night before.
The necklace was black, so wearing cream would match it more. Averie did not have a cream jacket, so she chose to wear the cream sweater.
She never thought that Eric would wear a matching color sweater that day. She was quite embarrassed that it caused a misunderstanding.
However, Averie did not want to explain herself.
“Chad, go and tell your boss that Averie is already together with Eric!” Mike wanted Elyette to give up and stop harping on Averie.
When Averie heard what nonsense Mike was spewing, she immediately snatched his Bluetooth earpiece from him.
“Chad, don’t listen to him,” Averie said, “Eric and I are collaborators. Also, your boss was the one who returned the sweater to me, so I will wear it whenever I want to. In the future, if I ever get together with someone, I might wear this to the date too.”
Chad was speechless.
Mike, that idiot! How dare he lie and say that he was not together with Averie.
Other than awkward, there was nothing else to describe his current situation.
“Miss Tate. It’s your clothes. You can wear them whenever you want to. I’m just complaining to Mike. I don’t mean anything by it. I have already realized that Mr. Foster is no saint. He has his flaws too. I will constantly remind myself in the future,” Chadad said.
“Hmm. Did he go to work today? Shouldn’t he be at home resting?” Averie asked calmly.
Chad replied, “He never listens to the doctor, but Ben has sent him home.”
“Hmm.”
Up to that point, they did not know what else to talk about.
Chad suddenly said, “I hope you have a great sales record, becoming the number one in the industry.”
Averie was speechless.
Mike took the Bluetooth earpiece back to end the awkward conversation.
“Averie, you’re pretty nifty with your fingers! When are you going to make me a sweater?” Mike teased.
Averie glared at him.
Mike chuckled and changed the topic. “Elyette is terrifying! How is he still not giving up on you yet! It looks like you did not stab him deep enough!”
Averie corrected him. “I did not stab him.”
“Oh. I suspect that he is probably mentally unstable.”
Averie said, “I used to read a book on success. In it, it mentioned that successful people usually have different thinking than an ordinary person.”
Mike said, “But you’re normal!”
Averie said, “I’m not considered a successful person.”
“You’re not successful? You got the business tycoon, Elyette, to fall in love with you, then you got the dazzling celebrity, Eric, to fall head over heels for you. Truth be told, I think Eric might have fallen for you. During the event just now, he kept looking at you. The gaze… is not right,” Mike exaggerated.
Averie said, “Are you asking for a beating?”
Mike shut up.
In the evening, many topics were trending on Tweeter.
[Eric Santos Announces Relationship]
Tapping into this trending topic. A marketing account posted a new Tweet. It said that Eric and Averie were not only collaborators. They were lovers!
More importantly, the crucial evidence was the necklace that Averie was wearing that morning. It belonged to Eric!
The account posted a screenshot of an old fan commenting.
[I have been Eric’s fan for 8 years! Even when he retired because of his injuries during the past 3 years, I have never forgotten him! I have been waiting for him to come back! He brought such a huge surprise to his comeback today! New fans might not be able to recognize the necklace on Averie Tate, but the old fans would know! This necklace is Eric’s personal belonging! Back then, out of 10 events, he would wear the necklace 8 times! Now he has given the necklace to Averie. If this is not love, what is it?!)
Below it was countless photos of Eric in events back then. In every photo, Eric was wearing a black necklace.
Was this considered confirmation!?
After the hot topic appeared, the internet was in mourning! Averie was hated on the internet too.
At Elyette’s mansion. A news notification popped up on Elyette’s phone.
[Eric Santos’ Relationship Exposed! His Lover: The Gorgeous President of Tate Industries, Averie Tate!)
Elyette has just finished showering. Water beads dripped down from his hair.
He had a dry towel in one hand and his phone in the other.
When he saw the news, he tapped it with trembling fingers. After he read through, his eyes were darkened and cold!
Since when did Averie accept Eric’s token of affection? Did she come to look for him yesterday to tell him that she has started a new relationship? Was there the need to do so?
He threw his phone at the cabinet. It slammed loudly!
In the luxurious European-manner mansion, Wanda had a glass of wine in her hand, slowly swirling.
She looked at the news on the internet smugly before taking a sip of red wine.
“Do you know what celebrities are most afraid of?” Wanda said in Zoe’s direction, “They’re most afraid of losing fans. What would make a celebrity lose fans? The announcement of a new relationship. No matter how famous Eric is, he can’t escapezd this!”
Zoe was in admiration of Wanda.
“This would definitely hurt Eric. No matter how he tries to explain it, he would surely lose fans.” Wanda laughed delightedly. “The times have long changed. We are no longer short of handsome and talented celebrities.”
Zoe said, “Don’t be too smug too early. The most famous male celebrities right now are not as great as Eric.”
“You hold him in such high regard. Don’t tell me you’re his fan too?” Wanda looked at Zoe in disbelief.
“Will it be strange that I’m his fan? Our main intention is not to smear Eric. Our target is Averie, so you should know not to cross the line,” Zoe said, grabbed her bag, and left.
At that moment, Wanda was staying with Richard, so Zoe often came to have a meal together.
After Zoe left, Richard said to Wanda, “Don’t bother her. Do it accordingly to your way. You’re a businesswoman, profit is what you need to consider.”
Wanda responded distractedly, “Your daughter pissed me off, shouldn’t you repay me in some way? Massage my feet.”
Richard immediately came over to massage her feet. Wanda lay on the sofa with a comfortable expression. She sighed. “Why did I have to marry Jack back then? You don’t know that when I was his wife, I had to obey him all the while, relying on him for my living expenses. What a loser! How I wish he was alive. I want him to see how great I am right now!”
