At eleven in the morning, Avery got off work early to find a place to change her phone screen.
She found a repair shop about a kilometer away. She walked over and handed her phone to the staff there.
She waited for about half an hour. Her phone with a new screen was returned to her.
After she paid, she left the shop.
It was just in time for lunch. She called Mike.
"I'm outside, what do you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you."
Mike heard her voice and felt extremely awkward. If she knew that he had told
Elliot about her, she would surely be mad.
"I'm having lunch with some colleagues," Mike refused politely, "Why don't you head home and rest after lunch!"
"Hmm, then I'll just head home." She could clearly sense Mike being aloof and distant from her, but her head hurt terribly, she did not have the energy to deal with it.
After hanging up, she walked back to her office and drove away.
She only had one week. She had to properly think about how she was going to bring that up to Elliot within the week.
At the Sterling Group. Elliot pondered for about two hours. He decided he was not going to ask Avery about it. Just like what Mike said, even if he asked her, she would most likely not tell him.
This thing could not have happened within the past two days. She had kept it a secret for so many days, how could she possibly tell him the truth at that moment? Unless he had evidence of her being threatened.
Evidence was easy to find. All he needed to do was get the recording of the call between Avery, Henry, and Cole.
He made a call, getting someone to investigate Avery's calls.
"Hmm. I am only a lowly assistant, but you are different," Chad said fawningly, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you too." "Okay! I'll go check up on him. Buy me something light. My stomach hasn't been doing well recently."
After the call, Ben came to Elliot's office. He pushed open the door =d'?PJS> entered. When he saw Elliot, he instantly understood why Chad was worried.
Elliot looked terrible. He was a completely different person when he saw him that morning.
"Elliot, get off work! Let's go have lunch," Ben said in his usual passionate manner.
"Chad went to get me lunch." Elliot rejected him.
"Oh, then, I'll get Chad to get me some too," Ben said. He pulled a chair over and sat opposite Elliot. "What happened? Why do you look unwell? Nothing is happening to the company!" "Let me have some peace and quiet." "Okay, then. If you have anything, don't keep it in. You can talk to me about it anytime!" Ben said, he then got up and left.
About half an hour later, Elliot's phone rang.
At the same time, a knock came on the office door. Chad brought lunch and entered.
