Elliot stood in silence for a moment, then called Chad on the office intercom and asked who sent the magazine over.
"One of the employees from Tate Industries delivered it. They sent a total of twenty copies to us. I've asked the secretary to distribute a copy to each department head."
"Have you seen it?" Elliot asked with a frown.
"Not yet. I was going to buy myself a copy after work today."
"You can take mine!"
Moments later, Chad entered Elliot's office.
When he saw the grim expression on his boss's face, he instantly had a feeling that there was something wrong with the magazine.
He had only glanced at the magazine's cover.
The photo of Avery was beautiful, so that could not be the problem.
The issue must have something to do with the content of the interview.
"Should I take the magazine, Sir?" Chad asked.
"Take it away!" Elliot snapped.
His expression was icy, and his voice was even colder.
Chad picked up the magazine from the desk then walked out of the room.
He flipped to the page of Avery's interview and quickly read the title.
What the hell?!
Avery Tate’s dream hunk was Eric Santos?
Chad returned to his office, then called Mike to ask the meaning behind the interview.
"Wanda Tate was selling the whole 'boss lady’ and 'superwoman' angle, and people were eating it up," Mike said. "Avery accepted the magazine’s interview to increase our company's exposure. What's up?"
"So you used Eric Santos to hype things up?
"That wasn't our intention. The magazine decided to go with that direction. They
need the sales!" Mike explained. "Besides, Eric Santos was the one who called Avery his goddess first...” "How could Avery publicly announce that Eric Santos is her dream man? My boss got jealous!" Chad hissed under his breath. " You even sent a copy of the magazine to him. What were you thinking?"
Mike chuckled, then said, "That's the vice president's work. I told him to send copies of the magazine to our biggest clients. Why did he send them to you, too? You may be one of our biggest clients, but it’s obvious that we don't need to keep up rapport with you!"
