Chapter 504


    It was noon in the city of Zirconia as a bulletproof car slowly made its way into the base of the Border


    Control Force.


    Avery sat in the car and curiously looked out at the scenery outside the window.


    There were no colossal skyscrapers here. They were far from the hustle and bustle of the city.


    The only things here were the most pristine beauty of nature and the soldiers that defended the


    country.


    "Miss Tate, we''re far away from the city here. The environment''s a little rough, so you might have a


    tough time the next couple of days," said the director of the logistics department, Sean Tennant. "It''s no


    trouble at all. It''s ourpany''s honor that you chose our products."


    Seanughed and said, "Wepared several of the drones produced by localpanies and your


    we use your drones!"


    Avery felt slightly embarrassed as she said, "It''s always been our goal to produce the best products."


    "By the way, Miss Tate, you mentioned on the phone that we could add some functions to drones


    based on our needs... When do you think is the earliest you’d be able to deliver the goods?"


    "We''ll first have to see what kind of functions you''d like to add, then I''ll have to discuss it with my


    director of operations," Avery said." "Alright. Let’s get something to eat for now. Mr. Lowe will meet with


    youter."


    "Alright.”


    After lunch, Mr. Lowe took Avery out for a stroll. As they walked, they talked and discussed their ns.


    The base was massive. After a while of walking, Avery''s belly began to ache before her legs did.


    She had made ast minute decision toe here, so she did not inform anyone at the base that she


    was pregnant.


    However, now that she could no longer take another step, she had no choice but to reveal her condition


    to Mr. Lowe.


    When Mr. Lowe heard that Avery was pregnant, his eyes immediately shot to her abdomen.


    She was wearing a in pair of jeans and a long sleeved t-shirt.


    It was not a loose t-shirt, so it showed her t belly.


    "You’re barely three months pregnant, aren''t you, Miss Tate? You''re not showing at all! Why didn''t you


    just rest at home? You could have sent someone else toe here!" Mr. Lowe, puzzled.


    Avery felt embarrassed to say that she had decided toe here on a whim in an effort to avoid Elliot.


    "I''m just three months pregnant now. My checkup yesterday showed that everything was going well.


    Besides, I''m usually working anyway, so I wanted toe here personally with the hopes of improving


    our coboration," Avery exined after sheposed herself.


    "I can tell you’re very serious about your work, Miss Tate. Tell you what, I''ll call for a car =e&:VJY>


    show you around the base," suggested Mr. Lowe.


    "That sounds perfect. Thank you!"


    At four in the afternoon, Avery woke up from her nap and began to work.


    She opened up herptop, typed up a document that included the points that Mr. Lowe had requested


    earlier and sent it to Mike.


    Mike replied to her email right away.


    Mike: [How much longer do you n on keeping your phone turned off?]


    Avery''s cheeks flushed in embarrassment.


    Avery: [I didn''t notice.]


    Mike: [Turn it on now, then!]


    Avery took a look at her phone, then put it back down.


    Avery: [Why should I? I don’t need to use my phone here ]


    Mike: [Don''t you want to make a video call with the kids tonight?]


    Avery: [I can use myptop for that.]


    Mike waspletely defeated.


    After a moment of silence, he sent another email.


    [By the way... Elliot Foster came by this morning looking for you, then he used Chad to threaten me


    and forced me to tell him where you were... So... He''s gone to look for you.]


    Avery: [...]


    Mike: [He took the 1 p.m. flight out earlier, so he should arrive at the Zirconia Airport around 4.30 p.m.


    in the afternoon... Then, he’d be in Zirconia in about half an hour. Prepare yourself! I don''t think he''ll be


    able to get into the base, but isn''t there a saying in Aryadelle about how money makes the world go


    round?]N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Avery: [...]


    The sound of someone knocking on her door drained the color from Avery''s face and left her in a daze


    of horror!


    Was he not supposed to arrive in Zirconia at 4.30 p.m.ter?!
