Chapter 529
When His Eyes Opened
âNo way,â the vice president thought to himself.
âDid Avery Tate leave?â
He took a deep breath, then knocked on the open door to Elliotâs office.
Elliot looked up, saw who it was, then immediately said, âCome in and shut the door.â
The vice president was terrified!Elliotâs tone was no different than usual, but there was something scary
about the way he said the words âcome in and shut the doorâ.The vice president timidly walked into the
door and closed the door behinde8 him.
âWhereâs Miss Tate, Sir?â
Elliot pushed the file he was working on aside, then said coldly, âDo you need to talk to her about
something?â He paused, then continued ominously, âYou scared her off.â
The vice presidentâs back broke into a cold sweat.
âIâm so sorry, Sir! Iâll go and apologize to Miss Tate right away!â
Elliotâs brows furrowed tightly as he asked, âDonât you think youâve embarrassed her enough?
The vice president humbly hung his head. His face said, âDo what you want with me.â
âI donât want a word of this going out!â Elliot snapped.
The vice president nodded furiously and said, âDonât worry! I wonât say a word!â
âIâve still got some work to do. Bring the others to come see me in thirty minutes.â Elliotâs tone returned to
its usual calm.
The vice president let out an internal sigh of relief.
âIt looks like the boss really is in a great mood today!â he thought.
Avery drove her car aimlessly on the road.
She had yet to calm down from her earlier fright.
How humiliating!She never dreamed of anything like that happening in her life.
Sure enough, one should never act on impulse.She called Tammy and asked her to come out and meet
her.
They met at a cafe half an hour later.
Avery ordered some dessert.
Tammy watched as she ate slowly, then asked in confusion, âYou didnât call me out here just so I could
watch you eat, did you?â
Avery stopped eating, then said, âI went to see Elliot just now.â
Tammy could not hold back her laughter.
âI was wondering why you were wearing this outfit today⦠You kept saying how it didnât suit you before,
but you look gorgeous in it! Hahaha! I bet Elliot was shocked to see you wearing this, right?â
Averyâs cheeks flushed as she said, âHe stared at me like an idiot⦠It was such a huge difference!â
âHahaha! Did the tyrannical president turn into a drooling idiot?â Tammy said as she imagined the scene
in her head.
âPretty muchâ¦â Avery took a sip of water as she tried to calm herself. âThen, we got on the couch in his
office andâ¦â
âHoly sh*t! Thatâs hot! Why do you look so miserable, though? Is he⦠impotent?!â Tammy exclaimed in
horror.
If she was right, then she would definitely tell Avery to find another man.
Avery took a deep breath, then held her head in her hands and said, âWhile we were⦠In his office⦠A
group of employees saw us.â
Tammy had her breath taken away.
âYou two are incredible!â
âIâm never going to his office ever again.â Avery gritted her teeth and kicked herself.
"Why didnât I just agree when he said he would come see me at my place? Why did I have to insist on
going to his office? Oh, right. I was worried itâd affect his work⦠Then again, itâs not like he could do any
work with me there!â
âThereâs no point in regretting it now, Avery! Whatâs done is done, just accept it! I bet this has already
spread all over the company,â Tammy said, adding fuel to fire.
âThis type of gossip spreads like wildfire!â
Avery was stuck in a daze.
When she finally snapped out of it, she said, âBy the way, did you buy someone online for me? I received
a package from Bridgedale this afternoon.â
