Hayden saw his face and hurried to another elevator by reflex.
Elliot came out of the elevator with his companions and strode toward the hotel entrance.
He did not seem to have noticed Hayden, or perhaps he had noticed the child but he had not realized that Hayden was his son.
All in all, their encounter went unnoticed.
After Elliot left, the elevator door before Hayden opened. After hesitating for a few moments, Hayden decided to check out from the hotel.
For him to run into Elliot today, meant that there were chances of him running into that man again. The hotel Hayden was staying at was the best hotel in all of Ylore, and he had booked a room here because it was safer; however, Gary ran that hotel.
Elliot went to the hotel today because Gary wanted him to inspect the place.
Gary intended on passing all of his businesses to Elliot, as his son, Christopher, was extremely reckless, and he had made plenty of enemies. If it was not for Gary, Christopher would have been killed off long ago.
Gary had sent him away to pioneer other establishments in a different city, and Christopher had yet to have anything to show, despite being there for years.
Gary could only hold onto Elliot, in hopes of getting Elliot to work for him.
A few days ago, they had fought because of Avery, but it had not affected their friendship.
Elliot exited the hotel and strode towards the car park.
The bodyguard went ahead and opened the car door for him, but he paused when he was right in front of the car.
"I need to make a phone call," he said to the bodyguard, before turning to stroll toward the fountain.
Just then, Avery and Jed were in the hospital.
Avery paled and snatched her phone from his hand to call Elliot back.
Elliot picked up right away and said sternly, "Avery Tate! Why is your son here? Are you allowing him to stay here, or is he here on his own?!"
Avery was stunned for a moment and reached her hand out toward the wall to support her weight. "Are you talking about Hayden? Where did you see him?!"
The panic in her voice explained everything. She had not known that Hayden was in Ylore which meant that Hayden had come in secret. It was something that one would expect of Hayden— who knew no fear and restraint.
"De Ligt Hotel!" Elliot roared, "Get over here, find him, and take him away!"
"I will be over right away!"
With that, Elliot hung up, before walking back to the car to get in.
