Chapter 1174
Making negative assumptions about Avery was something Elliot would never do, but her conversation
with Henry was like a stab in the back for him.
Had she ever thought that he, just like Adrian, was a human being too? Adrian might be in a pitiful
situation, but did that give her a free pass to save Adrian at his expense?
He would not have been that heartbroken if she consulted him first and received his consent before
talking to Henry on the phone.
Chad sent him to the hotel and came out.
It was almost July and the nights were getting warmer.
Chad already started to sweat even though it had only been seconds since he came out of the hotel.
He got into the car and dialed Ben''s number.
"I don''t know what to do now, Ben." His mood was severely affected by Elliot. "I feel like I''ve lost my
job."
Ben frowned. "Did he fire you? What did you do?"
"I don''t know what I did, but I don''t think I did anything wrong." Chad took a deep breath, "But he just
told me not to call him Mr. Foster anymore. How else am I supposed to address him?"
"What about...''Sir''?!" Ben gave him some advice.
"I called him that when I first joined thepany. When he was with the vice president, I called him that
and they both looked at me weirdly," Chad exined. " I''ve called him Mr. Foster since then. It’s been a
few years now, and all of a sudden, he told me to stop What does he mean?”
Chad was one of the few people around Elliot who genuinely knew him best.
Unfortunately, Chad could not guess Elliot’s thoughts, let alone what Elliot would do next.
An unknown fear appeared out of nowhere in his heart.
"I wouldn''t know either." Ben pondered for a few seconds, "I went to him at noon but he wouldn''t say
anything. I''m certain it has something to do with Avery, though."
"I know it has something to do with Avery. He has no ns to go home tonight, nor does he want to
contact Avery. He even told me to lie to Avery and say that he was very busy. He never does that, not
even when he got into all those huge arguments with her in the past!" Chad seemed at a loss. "Just
keep this between us, alright Ben? He won''t let me tell anyone."
"Where is he now?"
"At the hotel! He said he won''t be going to thepany tomorrow."
Ben''s breathing became heavy all of a sudden, "What in the world is going on? They were fine
yesterday. Didn''t Avery just post a loving picture on her social media?"
"She did. I have no clue either. But I can''t ask Avery, :f":XJR: you shouldn''t ask her either. If we do, then
my lie will be exposed.
"Why don''t you ask Mike?" Ben suggested." Maybe he knows something." "He moved out of Avery''s
house," Chad said. "I''m positive he doesn''t know anything."
"Then our hands are tied," Ben said, "and we, as outsiders, have no business getting involved in their
affairs. Don''t they usually make peace with each other after they quarrel?"
"But Mr. Foster always went to work like usual whenever the two of them quarreled in the past. I
wouldn''t''ve felt that there was a huge problem as long as he went to work as he always did. This time,
he decided not to go. " Chad was uneasy. "Does he n on quitting or something?"
"In that case, let him rest for a few days!" Ben said. "There’s no point in us worrying. You should go on
home. We''ll talk about it tomorrow.”

"Okay."
At Elliot''s mansion, Avery had just taken a bath when she came out of the bathroom and walked to the
bed.
She picked up her mobile phone and saw no messages or calls.
Elliot seemed to have disappeared out of thin air from her world even though he kissed her cheek
before going out that morning.
She called his number again but still couldn''t get through.
If his cell phone battery went t and his charger was broken, he could just use someone else''s
charger to charge it. In fact, he could do so anytime if he really wanted to.
He could even get a new cell phone just to contact her if he so wished.
Were his clients or his work that important?
Avery knew full well that he neither wanted to contact her nor did he have any intention of going home.
