"No!" She said, before running to the door to change her shoes. Before Isaac could respond, she left and mmed the door behind her.


    Meanwhile, in Elliot''s mansion, Avery woke up and checked the time on her phone, only to find a message from Juliet.


    [President Tate, my father fell ill and I''m at the airport getting ready to go home. I don''t know when I cane back. I''m sorry.]


    Avery read the message over a few times, before replying. [Go home and stay with your family. Don''t worry about work. I will wee you whenever youe back.]N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Avery set her phone down and muttered, "Elliot, I might have to hire a new assistant."


    Elliot walked out of the bathroom and asked, "what happened? Juliet quitted?"


    "Her dad got sick and she went home." Avery frowned. "I have a strong feeling that she might note back again."


    "Hire another one, then," he said, "if you don''t want all that trouble, I will hire someone for you."


    "Let''s see what happens after the end of this year! She might stille back!" She mumbled. "She told me that she will never get married because the man she loved died. She felt like she can''t fall in love again, but when we met with Mike yesterday, Mike mentioned that she had love marks on her neck..."


    Elliot flushed slightly. "You think that she is lying?"


    "Not wanting to get married and finding a boyfriend don''t contradict one another. It''s just that she gives me an odd feeling and I keep thinking that there''s more to her story."


    Elliot could understand what Avery was trying to say.


    "Since she''s already left and might note back again, just think of it as if she''s never been here," he said.


    "Yeah. I''m not concerned. Her family


    is rich, so she shouldn''t be in too


    much trouble," Avery said. "My vice president told me that the advertisement Eric filmed is ready and told me to go to the office to


    see it."


    "They are quite efficient."

    "It''s just done filming, and they haven''t edited it." Avery took a set of clothes out of the closet. "He said


    that he is going to invite Er said


    to our


    company''s annual dinner."


    "I can tell that your vice-president likes Eric."


    "He likes Eric''smercial values. I will give him this, though: he doesn''t bother hiding his real thoughts on that."


    "That''s good. Just let him get to work and once next year''s sales reportes out, reward him ordingly." "Yeah."


    In Ylore, Juliet returned home and finally met her father, who was supposed to be severely ill.


    ''I thought he''s in the ICU?'' She thought. ''How did he manage to get discharged so quickly? Have they all been lying to me?''


    She clenched her fists until they started to sweat.


    "Juliet, your dad is fine." Mrs. Sutton walked toward Juliet and took her hands. "But our family is in trouble."


    Juliet stared at her father dazedly, who was ring at her with his fists clenched.


    "If I didn''t receive a request for you, I


    didn''t even know that you were involved with Paul! How dare you? How dare you associate yourself


    with that kind of man?! I never imagined that you would go running to Avery for his sake!"


    Juliet was confused. "Who told you about me and Paul, Dad? Did you just say someone requested for me?"
