"It''s just a vase of water. You are overthinking things," Avery said cheerfully. "You might have moved in with Eric but you will always be my daughter!"


    "Mom, I wasn''t feeling sad about this and now that you''ve said that, I don''t feel like leaving."


    "Then stay," Elliot added.


    La chuckled and walked over to Elliot. "Dad, are you going to get Robert to work for you during the holidays? You can just hand him over to your vice president, so you won''t have to worry." "I''m worried that the vice president would go soft on him. I never asked Robert to intern at mypany. He was the one who brought it up."


    La immediately turned to look at Robert in awe, not expecting him to be such a responsible man.


    "Why are you staring at me, La? You were the one who said that you want me to help Dad with work, right?" Robert felt chills down his spine when he saw the way La was looking at him. "That''s great! If you''ve decided to do it, make sure to give it your best," La said.


    "I know. I''ve prepared myself."


    La turned her attention back to Elliot. "Dad, what position will you give him?"


    Robert was curious as well and stared at Elliot. He thought that Elliot might make him his assistant so that he could learn how to run the business.


    "He will work his way up from the bottom," Elliot said.


    "As a sales? Or a janitor?" La teased.


    Robert was instantly rendered speechless.


    Avery was confused. "I thought that everyone in your office knows Robert?"


    "Naturally, I won''t have him working at the main branch." Elliot had been considering the same issue for the past two days. "He will get some experience from another branch."


    "... Why do I feel like I''m being exiled?" Robert muttered.


    "Even your younger sister isn''t afraid of hardship, yet you are?" Elliot said.


    Robert shook his head. "Of course not. I can work my way up from the bottom. I don''t even mind working as the janitor!"


    Avery panicked. "Your dad will never make you work as a janitor. Your sister was just messing with you!"


    "You will start as an ordinary salesperson! Go to the interviews on your own and don''t tell anyone know that you are my son," Elliot said.


    Robert stared at Elliot bbergasted.


    "Robert hasn''t even graduated. Will they hire him?" Avery had not expected Elliot to be so ruthless with Robert.


    "The average salesperson does not


    earn that much, so the job requirements are pretty low, too." Elliot had made his decision. "Let it be known that Elliot Foster''s sons have to have great survival skills."


    Avery fell silent as she knew that Elliot was right; they could spoil their daughters and must ensure that their sons were prepared for hardship.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Ivy had suffered for years and turned out brilliantly with far superior survival instinctspared to Robert.


    Robert was not entirely worried


    about hardship, but he was slightly confused. "If you intend for me to work my way up, why did you show me the data of yourrgestpetitor this afternoon?"


    He had thought that Elliot wanted his help to counter hispetitor.


    "There''s no harm in filling you in on our situation ahead of time," Elliot said casually. "Naturally, you will never inherit my firm if you can''t even handle a sales position." Robert stared at his father silently.


    "Alright, let''s not talk about that for now. Let''s eat!" Avery was worried that Elliot was pressuring Robert and did not want Robert to be overly stressed, so she swiftly changed the subject.
