After ordering, Lilith turned to Adrian and said, "Avery's company is in some deep trouble. I think she must need a large amount of money. Adrian, you are the current boss of the Sterling Group, do your job. Get some money for Avery!"
"Okay! But what am I supposed to do?" asked Adrian.
"Make a call to Ben, and tell him that you are interested in investing in Tate industries... you know what, just tell him that you want to give some money to Avery Tate. If you tell him that, he would surely understand. Plus you are his boss, he must listen to whatever you say. Also, I think he is one of the people who wants to help her the most," explained Lilith.
Adrian nodded and said, "I don't have his number."
"I do! Do you remember what I told you to say?" asked Lilith as she opened her phone, scrolled to the list of numbers that were blacklisted, and read out Ben's number to Adrian.
"Tell him that I'm planning on giving Avery money," said Adrian.
"Bingo! After the calls get through, just say that!" said Lilith.
After a few minutes, Ben finally picked up the call.
"Hello?" asked Ben.
When Ben's voice sounded over the phone, Lilith immediately glanced at Adrian, waiting for him to say something.
Adrian just stared at Lilith.
When another hello drifted through the phone, Lilith finally blurted out, "Moron!"
Ben was shocked to hear Lilith’s voice, " Are you calling me just to call me a moron? Is this your new number?"
"No! This is your boss's number!" said Lilith.
After a slight pause, Ben asked, "Elliot's? I thought you were at Bridgedale? Why are you in Ylore?"
"Do you not know who your current boss is? How did you become CFO with that IQ of yours?" questioned Lilith.
