Half an hour later, the vice president of Sterling Group burst into Ben's office.
"I've looked everywhere for you, Chad. I knew you'd be here!"
The vice president slumped down next to Chad.
Noticing the vice president dripping in sweat, Chad asked," What happened? You’re making me think the company's in some kind of trouble."
The vice president poured himself a glass of water, then said, "Did the two of you know that Avery Tate was here? Why didn't you tell me?" He drank the entire glass of water in one gulp. "Let me tell me, when I went to Mr. Foster's office just now... Ah! Just the thought of it makes me want to bury myself in a hole! What the hell was that? I have a feeling I'm about to get fired."
Ben and Chad were shocked.
"Don’t tell me they were..." Ben began to say, but did not finish the rest of his sentence.
The vice president nodded furiously and said, "The worst thing about it was that I wasn't the only one who saw it. I was with a whole team of people... All of them saw it, too... Honestly, I might as well just pack up my things and leave..."
He buried his face in his hands in agony.
Everyone knew that the president of Sterling Group, Elliot Foster kept his distance from women.
He had never brought a woman to the company before, let alone do anything with a woman in his own office.
However, everything changed today!
Never in his dreams did the vice president think that he would walk into something like this.
Elliot cared very much about his privacy, and was probably pondering on how to make him disappear into thin air.
Ben and Chad gazed at the vice president with sympathetic eyes.
They wanted to share their opinions, but ended up unintentionally bursting into laughter instead.
"Stop laughing! I'm devastated right now! You shouldn't kick a man while he's down! " The vice president said dejectedly as he checked his phone to see if he had received any new calls or messages.
He had a feeling that Elliot was not going to go easy on him.
"Don't be so pessimistic. I think you'll be fine." Ben took a sip of water to calm himself down. "If I were you, I'd go back to his office half an hour later ?f)
"Mr. Foster won't be mad," Chad said. "He's in a good mood today. Even if you made a big mistake, he might be able to forgive you.
