After Mike thought about it for a while, he called Avery back.
"He said he is here for business."
"Business? Does the Sterling Group have a branch office in Bridgedale? They don’t, do they?" Avery said while feeling puzzled.
"It seems like they don't... I'm not sure either, but I haven't heard of them opening an office here. However, isn't Tate
Industries under the Sterling Group? If Tate Industries has a branch office in Bridgedale, that means their...” Mike explained, "Maybe he is here to handle the matters of Tate Industries?"
"Isn't Tate Industries fully under Natalie's management now?" Avery was even more confused. "Could it be that they intend to go against Natalie?"
Mike said, "I don't know. Chad is pissed at me. He said that we didn't tell him anything when we started Dream Maker, so now, he won't tell us anything either.”
Avery could not help but laugh. "If Chad truly came over to handle business matters, then he indeed could not tell you."
"Hmph. He is deliberately saying this. He has shared plenty of juicy gossip about Elliot with me in the past, hasn't he? Other people may not be clear about his role as a spy, but are you not clear about it? Elliot might also know it well." Mike made fun of him. "I'll go to him later, and I promise to make him spill everything."
"Mm-hmm."
After Elliot came out of Avery's house, he got into Chad's car.
Elliot was the one who had asked Chad to come to Bridgedale.
Elliot did not tell him over the phone why he had asked him to come. He did not ask Elliot either.
After they left Avery's house, Chad drove Elliot to a cafe.
"Did Avery say anything when you came out?" After the woman sat across from Elliot, she took off her mask. "She cares a lot about you."
"If I insist on coming out, she certainly won’t stop me.” Elliot picked up his cup and took a sip.
You didn't tell her that we're meeting each other, right?" The woman ordered a cup of coffee. After the waiter left, the woman continued, "She is actually quite respectful toward me. She always addresses me respectfully as I'm her senior."
"I know. Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited you to her house a few days ago." The person that Elliot was meeting was Avery's senior, Amelia Cooper.
She is still too arrogant and conceited."
