    Kabanata 334 Pagkalipas ng limang araw, nagpakita si Elliot sa mga opisina ng Sterling Group sa s


    diyes ng umaga gaya ng dati.


    “Bukas na po ang engagement niyo sir. Ayaw mo bang mag-day off?” tanong ni Chad habang binabati


    si Elliot.


    “Ayoko,” sabi ni Elliot, pagkatapos ay nakad sa pintuan ng kanyang opisina.


    Sumunod naman si Chad sa likuran niya.


    “Sir, narinig ko m kay Mike na matagumpay nng napag-usapan ang Bohmer Holdings sa


    pagsisim ng isang bagong kumpanya dito sa Aryadelle para mag-supply ng mga high-end na lens


    sa kan.”


    “Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, hindi ba gumagana ang Bohmer Holdings sa Alpha Technologies?”


    “Tama iyan. Ipinapakita nito kung gaano kaganda ang rsyon ni Miss Tate at ng may-ari ng Bohmer


    Holdings. Kung hindi, hindi s pupunta sa Aryadelle para magtayo ng bagong kumpanya parang sa


    kanya,” deduced ni Chad. “Tumingin ako sa pinuno ng Bohmer Holdings at nakakita ng isang bagay na


    kawili-wili.


    “Ano ito?” Tanong ni Elliot nang maslong lumakas ang kuryosidad niya.


    “Ang kasalukuyang pinuno ng Bohmer Holdings ay anak ng pinsan ni Propesor James Hough,” init


    ni Chad ang mga natusan ng kanyang kamakang mga pagsisiyasat. “Ang tagumpay ng Alpha


    Technologies ay hindi isang pagkakataon, ngunit ang resulta ng pagsusumikap ng maraming tao.”


    Nagsalubong ang mga ky ni Elliot.


    sahat ng estudyante niya, bakit kla ng anak ng pinsan ni Professor Hough si Avery?


    Ipinakla ba s ng propesor, o nagkataonng?


    “The problems that Tate Industries will have to face moving forward have nothing to do with their


    product quality, but with their sales and reputation,” Chad continued. “I advised Mike to engage a


    professional marketing agency, but he said Avery refused. She has always insisted on focusing on


    product quality…”

    Elliot lifted his gaze to look at Chad, then asked, “Why are you reporting Tate Industries’ situation to


    me? Who exactly do you work for?”


    Chad was taken aback.


    Who was the one who was listening so intently just moments ago?


    Elliot withdrew his gaze, then turned on hisputer and said, “Avery and I are officially over. You


    don’t need to purposely report to me about her or her personal life.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Chad walked out of Elliot’s office and bumped into Ben.


    “The boss said that things were officially over between him and Avery,” Chad said. “We both know he’s


    in denial.”


    Ben burst intoughter, then said, “When did you be so brave? How dare you mock your


    superior? Mike’s a bad influence on you!”


    “I know you won’t snitch on me to him. He’s about to get engaged tomorrow, but he’s in a terrible mood.


    I feel like I’m watching a tragedy unfold.”


    “It’s his own choice,” Ben said. “We should just sit back and watch the show.”


    “I feel like you’re taking pleasure in his misfortune, Ben.”


    “That’s nonsense. I’m thinking of forging his signature and sending an invitation to Avery,” Ben said as


    he contemted fanning the mes of the situation.


    “He might not end up getting engaged to Zoe if that happens,” Chad reckoned. “Isn’t the reason why


    he’s so against sending an invitation to Avery because he’s worried he’d regret his decision if he sees


    her?”


    Ben coughed slightly, then patted Chad on the shoulder.


    “What’s wrong, Ben? Don’t you think I’m right? I think…”


    “Chad Rayner! Get in my office right now!” Elliot snapped coldly with a menacing expression on his


    face.


    Chad felt like he died on the spot.


    Around lunchtime, Avery received a call from the preschool.


    “Miss Tate, La isn’t feeling too well, so we sent her home to get some rest. Please go home and take


    a look if you have the time,” informed the teacher.


    Avery instantly lost her appetite.


    She put down her knife and fork, then picked up her bag and rushed home.


    Everything was fine when she dropped the children off at school that morning.


    Bakit bing nakaramdam ng sakit si La?


    Tinawagan ni Avery si Hayden nang makapasok siya sa kotse.


    Si Hayden ay may smartwatch na maaaring tumawag sa telepono.


    ng sandali pa ay sinagot ang tawag niya.


    “Hayden, tumawag ang teacher mo para sabihing masama ang pakiramdam ni La. Ano ang


    nangyayari?”


    Habang nagsasalita si Avery, nakarinig siya ng sutsot na ingay m sa telepono.


    Ibig sabihin, w sa bahay ang mga bata.
