Chapter 242


    Avery was left speechless by Tammy’s words.


    It was all her own fault!


    Why did she have to ept Elliot‘s gift?!


    Things would not be this awkward if she had just rejected it.


    Avery hung up on Tammy, then called Mike and said, “Don‘t you think you should tell me before


    organizing a makeup birthday party?”


    “What if I told you first and you said no?” Mike said. He knew her too well. “If I inform everybody else


    before I tell you about it, then you would have no choice but to show up.”


    Avery let out a bitterugh.


    “You have fun with everybody on your own, then! I‘m not going!”


    “I already invited Elliot Foster! That shameless man epted the invitation right away!” Mike said


    mockingly. “Your ex husband sure is thick–skinned, Avery. Why do you like men like him?


    Avery lifted her hand to massage her temples, then hung up the phone.


    Tammy called again less than a minuteter.


    “Elliot‘s going to the party, Avery! I figured someone as proud as him would definitely take the chance


    to decline!” Tammy said. “I can never predict his reaction. Is this a special trait that only sessful


    people have?”


    “You can never predict the reactions of a madman, either. Stop looking at him through rose tinted


    sses, Tammy.”

    “Hahaha! You always get so worked up when we talk about him,” Tammy assessed. “It looks like you


    still love him! Otherwise, you wouldn‘t react like this!”


    Avery took arge gulp of water, then found an excuse to end the call.


    She suddenly missed the days when she was too busy for anything else.


    After inviting Elliot to the party, Mike went into the bathroom topose himself.


    Once he was calm enough, he called Chad’s number.


    Mike had deleted Chad’s number long ago, but for some god forsaken reason memorized it.

    It took a while before his call was answered.


    “I thought you wouldn’t answer my call! Why didn‘t you reply to my text a few days ago?”


    Mike was forced to send Chad an apology text a few days ago after Avery’s threats.


    However, Chad did not respond to his text, and Mike could not stop thinking about it.


    “You have the right to text me, and I have the right to not text back,” Chad said coldly. “Please don’t call


    me for no reason.”


    “I do have a reason! Are youing to Avery’s birthday party this weekend?”


    “It depends if my boss is going or not.”


    “Elliot Foster told me he wasing!”


    “In that case, I‘ll be going with him,” Chad said, then added, “I‘m busy right now. Please don’ t call me


    again during office hours.”


    He then hung up the phone.


    A raging fury boiled inside of Mike.


    He was nothing but a puny assistant!


    What could he be busy with?


    Elliot did not say anything like that to him!


    Mike was second inmand at Tate Industries, but was he constantly saying he was bus


    Momentster, Mike created a text chain with some of thepany‘s managers.


    The name of the chain was “Down with Elliot Foster“. When the heads of department and managers


    saw the shocking title, nobody daredme in the chain.


    Mike: (We‘re bringing Elliot Foster down at the party this Saturday! Is everyone in?!)


    One of the managers replied: (How?]


    Mike: (With alcohol, of course! How else?) Everyone in the group was relieved.
