Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 

“Maybe it’s fate,” said Chad.

“That’s too bad for my baby sister,” responded Charlie.

“Forgive me for being forward, Mr. Tierney,” Chad said. “Chelsea is an exceptional woman, but despite all the years that she’s spent by Mr. Foster’s side, he still hasn’t fallen in love with her. Even if she spends the next twenty, thirty years next to him… He will never love her.”

A hint of malice flashed in Charlie’s eyes as he replied, “Thanks for the reminder.”

That evening, Elliot took the company’s managers out for dinner.

After that, Ben dragged him out for drinks.

Everyone knew that Elliot was in a foul mood, but nobody knew the reason behind it.

Which was why they all decided to work together to get him drunk.

Once drunkenness began to show in Elliot’s eyes, Ben took his wine glass away from him.

“You haven’t said much today. Isn’t it stressful keeping everything inside?” Ben said as he switched Elliot’s wine glass out for a glass of juice.

Elliot raised his slender fingers to his head and began to massage his temples.

“Avery wants a divorce,” he said in a low voice with his eyes slightly closed. “Am I that pathetic?”

The room froze in stunned silence.

How was it possible for anyone to think their boss was pathetic?!

Was there something wrong with Avery Tate’s head?

Not only was Elliot Foster a talented man, but he was also a master of business.

The number of women who love and admire him would line up from here all the way to the south pole!

Who did Avery Tate think she was to hurt him this way?!

“What do you think of Miss Tate, Ben?” Chad asked.

“She’s just an average college student,” Ben responded, then changed his mind and corrected himself,” Wait, maybe not. She’s quite a looker. If Chelsea’s looks could kill, then Avery gives off a sweet and friendly girl-next-door vibe.”

“I’ve never met Avery Tate! Should we give her a call and ask her to join us?” someone suggested.
