Elliot came out from the shower. He heard Avery''s phone ring, so he walked over to her and looked at the caller ID on her phone. "Why is he calling you thiste at night?" Elliot asked casually.


    "I was the one who contacted him first. I''ll answer the call. I''ll tell you about itter." Avery walked over to the balcony.


    Ten minutester, Avery finished the call and returned to the bedroom.


    "Is it about the endorsement?" Elliot sat on the bed and looked at her.


    "Yes! My vice president is quite anxious about getting Eric. He has already privately gotten Eric''s manager''s contact details." Avery ced her phone on top of the drawer. "But I have already spoken to Eric about it."


    "What''s the price?" Elliot knew that Eric would surely agree to be a spokesperson, he was only curious about the price they had agreed on.


    Just as Avery had said, Eric had not demanded arge sum of money. He might even help out without any payment, but Avery would surely not agree to it.


    "He said he will charge the same amount as thest endorsement deal he had," said Avery, "But he has forgotten the amount, so he will have to go home and look for the contract."


    "He can''t remember his previous endorsement fee. It must have been quite a long time ago?" Elliot guessed.


    "Maybe! His manager said that he doesn''t like being a spokesperson forpanies. ording to his manager, an international makeuppany offered him a nine-figure, spokesperson contract, but Eric turned them down," sighed Avery. "I suddenly realize that he is worth quite a lot of money."


    Elliot could see the admiration that Avery had for Eric in her eyes. "Why have I never heard you praise me this way before? I can earn money too."


    "Oh... am I praising him? I don''t think so. I was justmenting on it." Avery touched his head. "I''ll go shower! By the way, go and check on La! If she''s still studying, get her to stop."


    "How hardworking!" Elliot looked at the time and immediately headed for the door. "I''ll go check on her."


    A momentter, Avery came out from the shower. Elliot was already in bed.


    "Is La asleep yet?" Avery asked.


    "Hmm. When I went to check on her, she was just about to head to bed. She said that her final exams wereing up. She''s a little nervous. Elliot could not hide the heartache in his voice. "She was never this nervous about her studies. don''t know why she would suddenly care so much about scores and


    rankings."


    "Haven''t you realized that she rarely talks about wanting to enter the entertainment industry when she grows up?" Avery knew that her daughter had changed.


    "Hmm! Let things be! She can be whatever she wants to be in the future," Elliot said dotingly.


    The next day, Eric brought hisst endorsement contract to Tate Industries.


    Melvin, the vice president, was shocked to see him when he passed by Avery''s office.


    It was only nine in the morning, and Avery was not even there yet.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Melvin immediately entered Avery''s office and passionately greeted Eric.


    "You must be the new vice president." Eric put the cup of coffee in his hand down.


    "Yes! You know about me! I''m honored." Melvin sat down next to Eric on the sofa. "You''re here to look for Miss Tate? She should be here soon."


    "I came here today to sign the endorsement contract," Eric said while taking out his previous contract. I discussed it with Averyst night. I''ll charge her the same amount as I did with thestpany I endorsed."


    Melvin''s face flushed in surprise. "Miss Tate hasn''t told me about this. You all are way too efficient!"
