At Elliot's mansion, once Elliot and Avery returned home, Layla immediately ran to Avery.
"Mommy, Uncle Eric is going to be Tate Industries' spokesperson, right? He is going to shoot the advertisement tomorrow. Take me to the shooting set to see him!" Avery wondered where Layla got the news from. She had only discussed the shooting time with Eric that day.
"Layla, I have already agreed to your Aunt Lilith that I'll take you and Robert to see her tomorrow," Avery said, "You like attending other people's weddings, right? Tomorrow is your Aunt Lilith's wedding rehearsal. It's going to be fun!"
Layla felt conflicted. She wanted to see Lilith's wedding rehearsal, but she also wanted to see Eric filming the advertisement.
"Mommy, let me think about it! I want to go to both places." Layla pouted before looking at Elliot. "Daddy, where will you be going tomorrow?"
Elliot chuckled a little. "I'm going to the office to work tomorrow."
"Oh… then I'll go see Uncle Eric filming the advertisement! It's only the wedding rehearsal that's happening tomorrow and not the wedding. I can see it all again when she has her real wedding!" said Layla with a flash of clarity. "Mommy, so it's a deal! I'll go call Uncle Eric to pick me up tomorrow!"
Avery was speechless.
Layla ran off after she said that. She did not even give Avery any chance to react.
"Are her results out yet?" Elliot asked.
"Her teacher said it would be out next week," Avery replied. "Let her go! She has been studying every night before her exams. Studying all day and all night, she must be more tired than us. We should let her relax a little."
Elliot was feeling for Layla too, so he had no objections. "Will Eric's shoot be indoors or outdoors?"
"I didn't ask for the details, but I'm guessing it will be outdoors." Avery could not help but laugh at him, "Because we're selling drones."
In order to save face, Elliot said, "Don't you have a special effects team? You can film indoors and use a greenscreen. You can edit it later and insert the scenery in."
Avery said, "Now why is that necessary?"
