Chapter 242
Avery was left speechless by Tammy’s words.
It was all her own fault!
Why did she have to a ccept Elliot’s gift?! Things would not be this awkward if she had just rejected it.
Avery hung up on Tammy, then called Mike a ndsaid, “Don’t you think you should tell me before organizing a makeup birthday party?”
“What if I told you first and you said no?
” Mike said.
He knew her too well. “If I in form everybody else before I tell you about it,then you would have no choice but to show up.”
Avery letout a bitter laugh.
“You have funwith everybody on your own, then!
I’m not going!”
“Ialready invited Elliot Foster!
That shameless manaccepted the invitation right away!” Mike said mockingly.
“Your exhusband sure is thick skinned, Avery.
Why do you like men like him?
Avery lifted her hand to massage her temples, then hung up the phone.
Tammy called againless than a minute later.
“Elliot’s going to the party, Avery!
I figured someone as proud as him would definitel y take the chance to decline!”
Tammy said.
“Ican never predict his reaction.
Is this a special trait that only successful people have?”
“You can never predict the reactions of a madman, either.
Stop looking at him thro ugh rose tinted glasses, Tammy.”
“Hahaha!
You always get so worked up when we talk about him,” Tammy assessed. “It looks like you still love him!
Otherwise, you wouldn’t react like this!”
Avery to okalarge gulp of water, then found an excuse to endthe call.
She suddenly missed the days when she was too busy for anything else.
After inviting Elliot to the party, Mike went into the bathroom to compose himself.
Once he was calm enough, he called Chad’s number.
Mike had deleted Chad’s number long ago, but for some god forsaken reason memorized it.
“Ithought you wouldn’t answer my call!
Why didn’t you reply to my text a few days ago?”
Mike was forced to send Chad an apology text a few days ago after Avery’s threats.
“It depends if my boss is going or not.”
“Elliot Foster told me he was coming!”
“Inthat case, I’ll be going with him,” Chad said, then added, “I’m busy right now. Please don’t call me again during office hours.”
He then hung up the phone.
Araging fury boiled inside of Mike.
He was nothing but a puny assistant!
What could he be busy with?
Elliot did not say anything like that to him!
Mike was second in command at Tate Industries, but was he constantly saying he was bus Moments later, Mike created a text chain with some of the company’s ma nagers.
The name of the chain was “Down with Elliot Foster “.
When the heads of department and managers saw the shocking title, nobod y dared comme in the chain.
Mike: (We’re bringing Elliot Foster down at the party this Saturday! Is everyone in?!)
One of the managersre plied: (How?
] Mike: (With alcohol, of course! How else?) Everyone in the group was relieved.
