When Avery got home, her heart was empty.
In fact, Elliot didn’t reply to her messages in seconds every time. If Avery didn’t ask him for shares in the
future, she would never be so nervous.
She took the phone and swiped several times, but she didn’t get a reply from him.
She sent a message to Tammy: [Tammy, how are you and Jun recently?]
Tammy: [That’s it! He has been very busy lately.]
Avery: [Then when you send him a message, when does he usually reply?]
Tammy: [He usually returns when he sees it. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?]
Avery: [I messaged Elliot at noon, but he hasn’t gotten back to me yet.]
Tammy: [You can just call him and ask if it’s okay. He must be busy and didn’t see the messages, or he
must reply to you.]
Avery: [I think so too. So I still don’t call him. Anyway, he will be back in the evening.]
Tammy: [Well, don’t you also go to work?]
Avery: [I took Robert to get vaccinations this afternoon, but didn’t go to the company.]
Tammy: [Oh, I haven’t seen you talk to me specifically for such trivial matters. I always thought that you
were taking Elliot’s hands to death, but now it’s the other way around haha!]
Avery: [The feelings are mutual. He likes me and I like him too.]
Tammy: [Yes. After I divorced Jun once, I realized that it wasn’t that I couldn’t live without him, but that I
was as lost as I was without him. what a shame.]
Avery: [It’s all over. Cherish each other well in the future.]
After chatting with Tammy, Elliot still didn’t reply.
Avery took the phone to charge and planned to ask him what Elliot was doing when he came back from
get off work.
At 5:30 p.m., the bodyguards took Layla home.
Avery’s mobile phone is also fully charged. She unplugged the charger and opened Whatsapp, but Elliot
still did not reply to the message.
Her heart suddenly froze. She found his number and dialed it.
The phone was dialed, and a system prompt sounded soon – sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily
unavailable, please try again later.
Is his phone turned off?
Is it powered off or the meeting is shut down?
Her heart suddenly beat violently, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart. She immediately dialed
Chad’s number, but fortunately the call was quickly connected.
“Chad, is Elliot off work now? I sent him a message and he didn’t reply, and I couldn’t get through when I
called him.” Avery asked, “Is he so busy today?”
Chad was stunned. He raised his eyes to look at Elliot in the office chair, and then looked up at Elliot’s
mobile phone on the desk.
Elliot is not busy today.
He stretched out his hand to cover the receiver of his mobile phone, and whispered to Elliot, “Boss,
Avery is calling. She said that your mobile phone can’t be reached, and the message has not been
answered. She asked if you are off work, and asked if you are busy.”
Elliot: ” Tell her I’m busy and I’ll be home late tonight, and tell her not to wait for me.”
Chad immediately conveyed the boss’s meaning to Avery.
Avery responded in frustration: “Is your boss so busy now? I didn’t listen to him.”
“Yeah! I’ve been very busy recently. He didn’t tell you, maybe he didn’t want to worry you.” Chad said .
“Oh, then you ask him to call me back.”
“Okay, I’ll pass it on.”
After talking on the phone, Chad said to Elliot, “Avery asked you to call back.”
Elliot: “My phone is out of battery.”
