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.
