"You could come to the office to look for me! You look silly standing next to the car." Avery smiled. "I thought you were trying to look cool. I was wondering since when you were such a show-off."
Elliot said, "I was afraid that I would disrupt the office if I entered."
"Everyone is off work. No one would care about being orderly. Furthermore, you're the big boss of Tate Industries. Why are you so afraid to come here?"
"This is your territory, so stop laughing at me."
"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. But I'm serious. You don't have to pick me up every day after work. I can drive on my own, or get the bodyguard to send me." Avery leaned her head on his shoulder and lightly sighed. "There are so many things to do at the end of the year! All kinds of miscellaneous things. Year-end reports, parties, future work plans… Usually, when I'm not in the office, no one ever looks for me. Now that I'm back to work, everyone comes to report to me. I was afraid that I was not that important. Now I feel a little useful."
"If you don't want to be so busy, just get them to not come to you for small matters. Things that the vice president can do, let him do." Elliot looked serious. He was worried that she would tire herself out. "Learn to delegate. Let the professionals do their work. The role of the boss is to set the general direction of the company's development…"
"Everyone seems happy to report their job to me. I can't just tell them to look for the vice president, right? Also, those are things that I am willing to deal with," Avery said. "I'm sitting in the office. If the staff come looking for me, of course I have to deal with it."
Elliot was speechless.
"The staff are not the problem. I have rested for too long. I just can't get used to this work tempo so suddenly. It'll be better after a few days."
Elliot said, "As long as you can take it."
"I'm not foolish. If I can't handle it, I'll rest at home. As long as I don't go to the office, they won't go looking for me for every small matter." At that, Avery suddenly thought of something. "By the way, I arranged for an interview with Juliet Sutton tomorrow morning."
"Hmm… It seems like you're quite satisfied with her," Elliot said. "Tell me how you feel after the interview."
"Since you care so much, why don't you meet her together with me tomorrow!" Avery raised her hand and rubbed her palms against his chin.
