Chad sent Avery to Elliot’s office and poured her a glass of warm water, before asking enthusiastically, “do you want something to eat?”
“No, thank you. Go back to what you were doing and just ignore that I’m here.”
The smile on Chad remained. “I don’t have anything to do, so I can wait here with you!”
Avery reached for the glass and took a sip of water.
“Avery, I heard what happened yesterday as soon as Mr. Foster hit Tammy, so allow me to explain something to you first! Mr. Foster
didn’t raise his hand on Tammy for Chelsea’s sake, it was because Tammy had made a few inappropriate comments. She called him a
dirtbag and said that he deserves getting dumped by you…”
Avery stared at Chadee coldly.
Chad panicked and blurted out, “um… Mr. Foster had already explained this to Jun.”
“The more you try to explain, the more I resent him.” Avery set her glassóf down.
Chad quieted down and said, “I’ll wait outside.”
He sighed a long breath after exiting the office. Shortly after, Elliot stepped out of the elevator and walked towards his68 office.
Chad went up to him and whispered, “she is really angry, Mr. Foster, so be careful. Also, her belly has grown a bit bigger, so you must
refrain even if she pisses you off…” Elliot swallowed hard and strode into the office.
When Avery saw him walking in, she immediately took the contract out of the folder.
“This is the tripartite agreement we signed before,” she drawled in a calm voice, “the cooperation between my company and the Border
Security Force doesn’t need your involvement disguised as charity work”
“Disguised as charity work?” Elliot scowled.
“You only decided to donate the money because you were pursuing me, not because you believe in the cause,” Avery lifted an eyebrow
and continued, “I’m terminating this tripartite agreement. This is not to be negotiated, I’m only here to inform you about it.”
Elliot looked at her coldly. “You are here for Tammy Lynch.”
“So what if I am?”
“I hit her, and you hate me for it.”
“So what if I hate you for it?”
“Is terminating one contract enough to settle the grudge?” He walked towards her and took her hand, before placing it onto his face.
“Here. Slap me across the face and avenge your best friend!”
Avery pursed her lips and tried to pull her hand back, but he wouldn’t budge.
“Come on!” His eyes reddened as he gritted out fiercely, “other than your best friend, there’s also your son! Have you forgotten that I
came close to strangling your son to death?! I’m the devil! I will harm anyone who crosses me! It doesn’t matter if it’s your best friend, or
your son, I won’t show them any mercy!”
She could feel his burning breath on her face and she somehow seemed to have caught his evilness from it.
Avery raised her hand and struck at Elliot’s handsome-looking face. The deafening sound wa like a whip to her heart. Her palm went
numb from the pain, along with her heart.
‘I hit him,’ she thought, ‘he provoked me into hitting him!’
Just then, the office door was pushed open and Chelsea hurried inside in heels.
“Avery Tate! Who gave you permission to raise your hand at him? Do you have a death wish?!’ Chelsea saw the palm print on Elliot’s
cheek and threw herself at Avery hysterically.
Elliot grabbed her by the arm and gritted out, “I was the one who told her to do it! Don’t ever try to lay your hands on her, Chelsea
Tierney!”
