His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 147

"She hasn't changed much. She's still young and beautiful, but there was something very different about her temperament."

Chat reported to Elliot what had transpired when he had met Avery. 1

"She's a lot more composed than she used to be. She has the air of someone who has made it. I wonder how she has managed to make that much money in a few short years."

Ben pulled out a stack of files, then said, "I looked into it and found out that she had started a company called Alpha Technologies with a business partner three years ago. The company mainly sells drones. I'm guessing she used the program that her father had left behind. I heard that the program itself wasn't complete, so she probably found someone to perfect it for her. Otherwise, sales wouldn't be through the roof." 1

"She's no longer the same helpless, little Avery Tate from four years ago."

"I never found her to be helpless. She might not have had much money four years ago, but she had a mind of her own. How did you think she managed to drive the boss insane?" Chad mused.

"That's true," Ben agreed. "She's pretty impressive now! Even with the asking price of a hundred and fifty

million, I'm sure she will be able to afford it."

Chad glanced at Elliot, who had been silent the entire time, and asked, "Will you sell, Sir? She's very interested." 1

Elliot shifted his gaze from his laptop screen, then responded coldly, "I'll wait for her to come to me."

That afternoon, a man and a woman were sitting by the window of a high-end restaurant.

The man was Cole Foster, and the young woman was the daughter of one of the city's top financial groups. 1

"My uncle is Elliot Foster. I see him every week, and he's really close to my father," Cole said, lying through his teeth. "I'll take you to meet him if we start dating."

"Why won't you work at your uncle's company, then? Sterling Group, wasn't it?" asked the woman.

"I don't want to depend on him. I want to make a name for myself."

"I see. How many girlfriends have you had before?"

"Just two," answered Cole. "One in college, then one after I graduated. I haven't dated in the last four years because work's been busy."

"Do you stay in touch with your exes?" asked the woman.

"Not since we broke up. I don't like getting entangled in past relationships. We became strangers after we broke up. I wouldn't give them another look even if they came back begging on their knees."

The woman nodded at Cole's answer, seemingly satisfied with what she heard.
