Chapter 893
When His Eyes Opened
Chad hung up and handed the phone back to Elliot.
"Averyâs Vice-president got her the flowers." Elliot instantly calmed down.
"Go back and take a shower, Mr.Foster."
Chad stared at the coffee stain on Elliotâs clothes.
"Your secretary wanted to apologize to you, but I sent her back to work seeing how pale she looked."
Elliot didnât blame his secretary for what happened.He grabbed onto his phone and left the office.
Meanwhile, in Tate Industries.
When Avery found out that it was the vice-president who sent her the flowers, she shoved the card to
his face and said, "if you are representing all employees when you got me the flowers, you should have
written you are forever our goddess, not you are forever my goddess.Did you even pass your English
test back in school?"
Shaun lowered his head and apologized.
"I just didnât see that big a difference between those two ways of saying it, President Tate.Everyone
sees you as their goddessâ¦."
"You are still arguing? Why didnât you tell me that you are getting me flowers? I called Elliot and
scolded him because I thought that he was the one who sent these, do you know how humiliating that
was?!"
Avery flushed and took her glass to take a sip of water, only to realize that it was empty.
Shaun immediately took her glass and filled it for her.
"You are right, President Tate, you are absolutely right! Take this as a warning to him, then.We all
remember to send you flowers, so how could he forget to do the same? A bouquet doesnât cost much
and considering how rich he is, if he wouldnât even buy you flowers, it means that he doesnât really care
Shaun handed the glass back to Avery respectfully.
"You may go now! Thank you for the flowers."
Avery didnât want to continue the topic.
"Okay.Do you want to hold a meeting? This is the first day that you are back so you might not be that
familiar with the current status in all departments.The others can report to you."
"Letâs do that in the afternoon! I need to be alone for now."
Avery had not made up her mind on how, or whether to apologize to Elliot.
In the Central University elite class, there was a new teacher who was hired from overseas.
Not only did the new teacher bring a brand new curriculum, but also the news of the international
contest.
The International Hacking and Programming Contest was to take place in June and the top of the class
would be chosen to participate in the contest, which meant that the entire class would be fighting over
the opportunity.
During lunch, Daniel chatted with Hayden.
"Hayden, do you want to participate in the contest? I kind of want to, but I get plane-sick.I hate traveling
on air."
"You are too fat.You can try to lose weight."
"My mom said that as well, but I get so hungry even if I skip one meal.My dad is the only one who
doesnât say that Iâm fat.I havenât met your dad before, Hayden! Why doesnât he ever pick you up from
school?"
After spending the past six months together, Hayden had become rather close with Daniel.
"I donât have a dad."
"How can that be possible? Everyone has a dad.Does your mom not know who our dad is?"
Danielâs question had enraged Hayden and he shoved him aside.
"Of course, my mom knows!"
Danielâs face instantly flushed.
"Iâm sorry, Hayden.You mentioned that your mom is great and I just thought that she wouldnât keep your
dadâs identity from you if she knows who he is.Thatâs all."
Hayden realized that Daniel did not say those words out of malice and scowled, before responding in a
muffled voice, "I know who my dad is."
"Oh."
Daniel studied Haydenâs face and guessed, "did your dad abandon you? Itâs no wonder that you are
sad every day.Oh, thatâs sad."
