"Mainly because Chad is with him, so I didn't worry that much," Mike added.
"A social function?" Avery muttered. She was still worried, so she asked, "What social function? Where is it?"
"I don't know. I wanted to ask, too, but Chad won't tell me. After all, this is their work. How could they tell me." Mike shrugged. " Why don't you call Elliot and ask him?"
Mike reminded her. She immediately headed back to her room.
"Avery, are you sober? Does your head hurt? Do you want to drink something? The nanny has made a sobering drink for you. It's in the thermos. I'll go get it for you!" Mike chased after her and said this before heading to the kitchen to get it for her.
Avery quickly returned to her room and picked up her phone. She found Elliot's contact and called him.
At the presidential suite of the hotel, Chad was in the living room when he heard Elliot's phone ring. He immediately went to the bedroom and picked Elliot’s phone up.
When he saw that it was a call from Avery, he answered the call without any hesitation.
"Elliot!"
"Avery, it's me," Chad said, "Mr. Foster is asleep."
"Where is he right now? Where is this social function? You clearly know his condition. How could you let him attend?" Avery was anxious. "Chad, tell me where he is right now. I'll go get him." "Avery, calm down. I won't let him drink. I won't let him stay up late either. The social function is just a business meeting.
Nothing to do with alcohol," Chad consoled her. "We're still in Bridgedale, not very far away. He is only staying out because he wanted a breather."
"A breather?" Avery asked.
"Yes, you watch him too tightly. He has been very depressed. Let him have some air outside!" Chad took his glasses off, feeling extremely absurd at the lie he had come up with.
