Avery rushed to the technical department the moment she received the notice.
“Our director isn‘t here today, Mr. Foster.”
The manager at the technical department had no clue what had happened,
However, judging from the coldness on Elliot‘s face, he guessed that Mike had somehow offended the
man.
“Perhaps I should escort you to the president!” said the manager just as Avery walked into the room.
Avery approached Elliot, noticed his rage, then said, “Let‘s talk in my office.”
He probably came up to the technical department to see Mike about something that had happened
between them.
Mike did not tell Avery anything but based on how livid Elliot looked, she guessed that it must be
something serious.
Once they were in Avery‘s office, Elliot and Ben sat down on the couch while the bodyguard waited at
the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What happened?” Avery said as she served each man a glass of water.
“Miss Tate, I‘m afraid your director of operations violated Chad,” Ben said.
Avery was speechless.
Chad was Elliot‘s most trusted assistant and right–hand man. Anyone who picked on Chad picked on
Elliot.
Avery‘s head began to spin.
She did not expect Mike to do something this outrageous!
She picked up her phone and called Mike. He was quick to answer her call.
Avery lowered her voice and hissed, “Come to the office right now!”
Mike was bewildered, “I‘m eating out! What’s going on? Why are you snapping at me?” “Did you mess
with Elliot Foster‘s assistant?!”
“What are you talking about? How am I supposed to know his assistant?”
“Elliot Foster’s sitting in my office right now. He wouldn’t be here if it weren’t true!” Avery snanded as
her breathing quickened. “Did you sleep with him without even knowing his
name?!”
“Of course not! I’ve only slept with one person since I arrived -”
“What was his name?”
“Chad. I haven‘t been able to contact him since that night.”
Avery inhaled a slow tortured breath and said, “That‘s Elliot Foster’s assistant! Get your *ss over here
right now!”
Once she hung up, Avery walked over to Elliot and Ben, then sat across from them. Her cheeks were
flushed.
“How‘s Mr. Rayner doing? My apologies. Mike didn‘t tell me what he did,” she said apologetically, then
added with a hint of suspicion, “How do they know each other?”
Aside from work, Mike spent his time bar–hopping.
Avery could not imagine how he could have met Chad.
After thinking over the matter for a few seconds, Ben said, “Mike went to a bar after your company
dinner the other night, and Chad was there, too. I admit that Chad went to that bar to dig up information
about Mike—”
Avery instantly understood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“So, you sent Chad Rayner to get close to Mike, and by some strange circumstances, they ended up
sleeping together,” she said, then turned to Elliot and added, “That‘s how you found out Mike was
gay.”
Noticing that they were about to get into a fight, Ben quickly jumped in, “There’s something you don‘t
know, Miss Tate. We investigated Mike because our company had recently been hacked. Our entire
network had been disabled. The hacker even left a written challenge on Elliot‘s computer. We suspect
that this hacker is the same one that hacked into Angela Special Needs Academy.” Avery‘s heart
tightened, and her fists clenched slightly as she asked, “Why do you suspect it was Mike?”
“That‘s because he‘s your director of operations. I bet his technical skills are amazing! Besides, we
found it suspicious that we could not find any information about him,” Ben said. ” We never asked Chad
to sacrifice his body like that. Mike was the one who forced him into it.”
Avery lowered her gaze as she lost confidence in her argument.
If Mike really forced himself onto Chad and hacked into the school and the Sterling Group, then Avery
would not stand up for him.
There was nothing she could do even if she wanted to help.
Elliot would be showing him great mercy if he decided not to kill him. Soon after, Mike arrived at the
office.
