"Welcome to Villa de Sierra, Miss Tate."
The staff member handed over an entry pass to Avery, then said, "You may only enter and exit the villa
with this pass.Please keep it on you at all times."
Avery took the pass.
Dragging her suitcase, she entered the modern villa that thrummed with the grandeur of modern
technology.
When she stepped into the foyer, she suddenly noticed that the villa was much more spacious than it
looked from the outside.She felt like she had walked into a majestic maze.She pulled out her phone
and found the course schedule that the vice president had sent her.She dragged her suitcase and
began to search for the multipurpose training hall.
Soon, she arrived at the hall's entrance, knocked on the door, then walked in.
There were about twenty to thirty men and women seated in the hall.
After Avery entered the hall, everyone's eyes turned toward her at the same time.
Her cheeks suddenly flushed.
Just as she was about to apologize for being late, she heard a familiar voice from the podium say, "Are
you not coming in?"
Avery felt shocked, and she felt numb.
"Am I hearing things? Why am I hearing Elliot's voice?" thought Avery.
There was no way she would not recognize his voice! It was Elliot! She turned and looked at the
podium.She saw a well-dressed Elliot staring at her with amusement.
"How can this happen? "Why did the vice president not tell me beforehand that Elliot would be here,
too?" thought Avery.
If she had known that Elliot would be here to give a lecture, she definitely would not have come...as a
student!
"How humiliating!" she thought.
"I'm sorry.I walked into the wrong room."
Avery remembered from the course schedule that tonight's lecturer was a man named Justin Meyers.
"You're at the right place, Avery Tate."
Elliot strode over to her, grabbed her suitcase from her, and said, "Justin Meyers isn't feeling well, so
I'm substituting for him.
Avery was at a loss for words.
"Find a spot and take a seat.We can talk about the rest after class, " Elliot said, then dragged her
suitcase up to the podium.
Avery watched with red eyes as he took her suitcase away.
She had almost gone up to him BAn-]JuIN snatched her suitcase out of his hand.She took a deep
breath, then headed toward the back row.
She took a seat, then immediately pulled out her phone and planned to text the vice president to ask if
he knew that Elliot was going to be here as a substitute lecturer.
"Phones away, please."
Elliot clearly saw Avery's actions from the podium.
After he sternly reprimanded her, everyone's eyes fell on Avery once again.
Avery was utterly humiliated!
"What the hell is he doing? Does he really think he is my teacher or something? Even Professor
Hough didn't use to be this hard on me.How dare he treat me this way?" thought Avery.
"I'm turning on the voice memo on my phone to record your lecture so I can study it when I get back!"
Avery boldly stared right at Elliot.
"Is this your first time attending this training course, Miss Tate? Were you not aware that the lecture
materials are top secret?" One of the female students seated next to her said to her disdainfully.
"Also, you're not wearing your uniform, and you even showed up with such a huge suitcase.Do you
think this is some kind of marketplace?"
"That's right.It's my first time here.Have you been here many times?"
Avery gazed at the student with an innocent expression on her face.
"Are you proud to have been here this much? Didn't they say that this place turns everyone into
successful individuals? Have you not found success even after attending the course this many times?"
Some people instantly began to snicker.
"Avery Tate! What are you doing here if you think you're so successful!" snapped the student.
"Do you want to know the truth?"
Avery fixed her eyes on the student next to her, then eloquently dragged Elliot into the conversation by
saying, "I'm definitely not here to listen to the lecture.I'm here to see the man up on the podium!"
