She sobered right away and got out of bed with her phone in hand. She stepped over to the window and opened it.
The day was bright and breezy but slightly dry.
Once Joe explained the reason for calling, he said, "Are you at home right now? I can send someone to drive the cars over to you now, or should I arrange for it later?”
Slightly confused, Avery responded regardless, "I'm home right now, so please send them over now."
"Of course."
After the phone call, Avery set her phone down and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Joe had informed her that she had two cars waiting for custom's approval before they could send them to her. Since there were two cars and Avery could not drive them home on her own, they intended on sending the cars to her doorsteps.
After washing up, she went back into the bedroom and put on a dress she grabbed out of the closet, before stepping out of the master bedroom.
She poured herself a glass of water and went to take a seat on the couch while calling Mike. "Mike, you mentioned that you reserved a car for me. There's only one, right?"
"Yeah! It’s here? Doesn't it look great?
Hayden said you like pink, but I think pink is too childish-looking, so we went for a silvery-pink color. It looks more silver in the distance and turns pinkish when you get closer. It's both elegant and cute; both mysterious and cheeky..." "I'm getting goosebumps now."
"That's what the designer told me! He said that any woman would fall in love with that color," Mike said confidently. "I saw the car with my own eyes. It really isn’t bad at all. I wanted to surprise you so I didn't send you the photo. Besides, the photos don't do it justice.”
"Oh. But why do customs say that there are two cars?" Avery asked. "Who else bought me a car?"
Mike, too, was taken by surprise. "I don't know! We only reserved one for you."
Avery's brain went into overdrive, and she started to think.
"Have the cars arrived? Just take a look at what model is the other car. If it's also a car manufactured by Dream Maker, I can get someone to check the order."
"Sure. I will let you know when the cars arrive." Avery hung up =h'
"She already signed for it," Elliot said. "The last time I went to Bridgedale to visit Hayden, I took a detour to the Dream Maker's factory and ordered a car for her. I thought she would like it since that’s the exact type of car her father had dreamed of creating."
Coming to realize the situation, Chad said," Dream Maker cars are hard to come by! Since you've bought it for her, she will surely like it. If I were you, I would definitely call her, otherwise, it would be a waste if she thought that someone else bought it for her."
Elliot had wanted to call Avery before, and Chad's words had only given him more courage to do so.
"Mr. Foster, since Avery is home right now, why don't you head over to have a look? You can teach her how to drive the new car if she doesn't know how to! " Chad could tell that Elliot still loved Avery, and he made the bold suggestion.
Elliot immediately accepted the idea and said, "I'll get going, then. Get the vice president to run the meeting and call me if something comes up."
"Don't worry! Nothing is going to happen to the company." Chad watched him leave the office with a smile.
In Starry River Villa, Avery stared thoughtfully at the cars she received from the customs broker.
