Chapter 378


    At the summit, Mike and Chad had been arguing for over twenty minutes, and they were both


    exhausted.


    “You are being unreasonable!” said Chad readjusting his spectacles.


    Mike snorted. “You lose your mind every time you mention your boss. You need to do some self-


    reflecting! Your boss isn’t your dad, why do you im to know him?”


    “You are the one who needs self-reflection! Why do you care who my boss invests in? Even if he did


    ce his money on Wanda Tate, it only means that she has that sort of value! It doesn’t mean that he


    likes her as a person!” Chad argued.


    “Don’t call me out for drinks from now on! If you all teaming up with Wanda Tate, then it’s best we don’t


    meet again! I’m on Avery’s side!” dered Mike, severing all ties with Chad.


    Chad’s face was flushed with frustration. “Sure! Who wants to be friends with you, anyway?”


    After the argument, the two went on to look for their bosses.


    Ten minutes had passed, and Mike could still not find Avery, so he went looking for Chad. “I can’t find


    Avery! Where’s your boss?”


    Chad shrugged. “I can’t find him. He didn’t tell me where he was going. We came here for the summit,


    though.”


    “Avery came for the summit as well! She is expected to go on stage to give a speechter!” Mike


    panicked and took out his phone to call Avery, but her phone had been switched off, and he could not


    reach her.


    “Do you think that Mr. Foster is only here as a member of the crowd?” Chad snorted. “They have to be


    together if they are both missing.”


    “Of course, I know that they are together! That b*st*rd Elliot must have kidnapped Avery!”


    “Can’t you be more civilized with your words?” Chad red at him. “Don’t panic. Mr. Foster is very


    particr with time, so he should be back soon.”


    Mike took a deep breath and decided to wait.


    Half an hour had gone by, and it had been twenty minutes since the summit’s official start, but there


    was still no sign of Elliot or Avery.


    If it were not for all the people around them, Mike would have grabbed Chad by the and demanded to


    know what he meant when he said that Elliot was particr with time.


    Suddenly, they heard a round of apuse, followed by Wanda being invited on stage.


    Wanda walked up to the stage with an elegant and confident smile and bowed.


    “”I’m honored for being invited to this event today. It is my pleasure to share my story of sess with


    the entrepreneurs before me. The concept of ourpany is to change lives with technology. We aim


    to change not only the lives of those in the upper and middle-ie groups but those in the lower-


    ie groups as well.”


    Wanda passionately gave her speech on stage.


    Mike strode toward the organizer. Knowing that Avery could not make it back in time, he had decided to


    represent her on stage.


    He could not let Wanda steal their thunder.


    Meanwhile, Avery was in the guest room of the hotel.


    Avery had tried multiple times to get off the bed, but Elliot would not let her. He used his weight to pin


    her down, and there was only a thin silk nket separating them.


    “Why is he acting so childish? What’s the point of making mete for the summit?” she thought.

    “Why bother participating in that kind of event? Aren’t you tired?” He buried his face in the crook of her


    neck. As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against her skin, and it tickled.


    She pushed his head away. “I’m more tired when you press me into the bed like this!”


    He got off of her at the sound of her heavy breathing. Hey down next to her and stared at her


    blushing face in contentment, “Let’s have dinner together.”


    “Our rtionship is limited to sleeping together, and we are not as close as to be dining together,” she


    said sarcastically, getting out of bed.


    “You are alreadyte, there’s no point in hurrying over now,” he said in a cold voice.


    “I would rather go sunbathe than stay here with you.” She started putting her clothes back on, one


    piece at a time.


    Elliot’s good mood waspletely destroyed, and his expression darkened. He swung his legs and got


    out of bed. The two started getting dressed on opposite sides of the bed.


    Once she was dressed, Avery picked up her purse and after a moment of hesitation, she asked,” Elliot,


    have you ced your money on Wanda?”


    He buckled his belt and narrowed his eyes while looking at her. “I thought our rtionship is limited to


    bed? We are off the bed now.”
