A few minutester, Avery''s face was filled with disbelief and shock. She immediately found Melvin''s number and made a call to him.


    "Is there something you need, President Tate?" Melvin was slightly surprised to receive a call from her. "Have you eaten?"


    "Melvin, I just saw your proposal and saw that you want to hire a spokesperson, which is fine by me, but why do you have to choose Eric out of all people? Don''t you know he''s my friend? If we reach out to him, he''s definitely not going to take any money from us."


    A few years ago, there had been a crisis in the Tate Industries and Eric had chosen to resume his job as an idol to support Tate Industries; not only did he write a song over the Tate Industries'' drones, he even reviewed the drones on a video he posted on social media.


    After that, Tate Industries had coborated with Eric and Eric refused to ept any payment.


    Avery knew how much Eric''s effort was worth, and she refused to take advantage of him.


    "President Tate, I know that you are friends with him. Close friends, at that. But let''s be logical here. Eric Santos has the influence and poprity like no other idols. If we can get him to work with us, our sales will double or even more." Melvin was merely viewing the matter from a business point of view.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Though Avery understood that, she could not get herself to ept it.


    "The influence of our products in the market is equivalent to his influence in show business. Who else should we hire?" Melvin asked.


    Avery was not certain if she felt like crying orughing. "Melvin, you don''t have to praise our products to that extent. It''s not good to be too arrogant."


    "I''m simply stating a fact, President Tate. If you don''t want to talk to Eric, I can do it."


    "What''s the difference, Melvin? It''s not like Eric doesn''t know I''ve returned to Tate Industries. You are putting me in a very difficult position." Avery felt a sharp pain in her head.


    "If you are only worried about him


    not epting any payment, I can convince him. As long as he ispensated for his service, you are okay with it, right?" Melvin did not wish to give up on his proposal. "I will find a way to convince him."


    Avery rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Let me think. You don''t have to represent Tate Industries if we are really doing this. I already know him and if blet you do the talking, it would look like I feel guilty oD something."


    "You don''t have to overthink this, President Tate. If you feel conflicted, you can show my proposal to your husband and get his opinion on this. I believe he will make the right choice." Melvin was confident with his proposal, and with Elliot as well.


    As a sessful businessman, Elliot would never let his personal feelings get involved in making any business decision; when something was beneficial to thepany, Elliot would never be as hesitant and indecisive as Avery.


    "Sure. I''ll ask him about itter." Avery decided to get a second opinion from Elliot.


    "Let me know once you have."


    "Sure."


    "But you can tell me about it tomorrow if it gets toote at night. I don''t want your husband to misunderstand."


    Avery chuckled. "Rx, Melvin, Elliot will not misunderstand."


    "Why?" He asked sincerely. "Is it because I''m ugly?"


    Avery burst intoughter.


    "Oh, I need to go for dinner now. Let me know if you need anything. You can reach me any time before twelve at night."
