Lilith blushed. "I thought they weren't back yet?"
"They will be back the day after tomorrow. I'm just informing you ahead of time so that you won't schedule work on that day."
"Oh..." Lilith took her phone out to inform her manager, only to find numerous messages from Howie.
[You are Elliot Foster's sister?! You sure hid it well! So you are just modeling for fun?}
[Lilith, I didn't say anything mean to you before, right? If I did, I didn't mean to. I just expected a lot from you because I see greatness in you.] [Coco called me in tears, saying that she wants to apologize to you. Call me when
you see this... Or just message me... Or just reply tomorrow.]
Lilith's finger slid across the screen as she typed her reply.
[I have something to do the day after tomorrow and I need a day off.]
Howie replied right away.
[Sure! Do you need a day off tomorrow as well? If not, come over to the office tomorrow. Let’s talk.]
[Alright.]
Elliot had been sleeping the entire day and woke up at dawn.
He went downstairs and the first floor was quiet and there was no one in sight. He headed out to the yard and asked his bodyguard, "Where're Mrs. Cooper and the kids?"
"Chad, I think I need to act." Elliot's eyes gleamed with determination. "I told her to bring her boyfriend back to meet me and she refused. It's been some time since she came back to Aryadelle and that guy has not followed her here. If they aren't physically together right now, I am taking Avery away from him."
Chad set the glass down in surprise, not knowing the extent of Elliot's plan.
"How?" He swallowed hard. "By kidnapping her? Mr. Foster, if you do that, Avery is going to be really pissed off! Calm down and think of another way when you sober up."
Elliot shot Chad an icy look. "You think I'm drunk? I'm not."
"Oh..." Chad doubted that people who were drunk would actually admit that they were.
"That Billy guy keeps trying to play the mysterious card, so I want to know if he would show up if I take Avery away." Elliot narrowed his eyes coldly.
