The woman pondered for a while before stating her request.
Coming out of the detention center, Elliot received a call from his bodyguard.
Avery walked to the side and took her phone out. She saw missed calls and messages from her bodyguard.
Before arriving at the detention center that morning, she put her phone on silent mode.
When she got out of the detention center, she put her phone back into normal mode and returned her bodyguard's call.
"Miss Tate! Where are you? You were not answering my calls or replying to my messages! I was worried sick!" The bodyguard was so worried he sweated profusely. He was pacing around the hotel lobby with Elliot's bodyguard.
"Don’t worry. We just came out to do something," Avery explained to her bodyguard. "We got up earlier today, so we didn’t call you two."
"How could you two do that? Where are you right now? We'll meet you there," the bodyguard said.
Avery hesitated for a while before refusing his offer.
At the same time, Elliot had already refused his bodyguard’s offer. "Just wait for me in the hotel. Once I'm done, I'll call you if I need you to pick me up."
The woman had wanted two things.
She was going to take them to look for Ivy that afternoon, but they could not bring police officers or personal bodyguards. The three of them must go alone.
Elliot and Avery agreed without any hesitation.
The woman had information as large as the pit, and that meant that she must know more of the organization's secrets.
Therefore, Elliot and Avery did not suspect a thing she said when she told them she knew where Ivy was.
Furthermore, she was so thin. Even if Elliot was not coming with her, Avery was not afraid of the woman.
After the call, the bodyguards, in the hotel lobby, looked at each other.
"What did your boss say?"
"What did your boss say?"
"My boss said that she still has something to deal with," Avery’s bodyguard said."
What was your boss' reason?"
"What? My boss, giving me a reason? Do you think my boss is Avery Tate?" Elliot's bodyguard said loudly. "My boss will only give me orders. Does he need to give me any explanation? He is my boss. I am his subordinate. You must have been with Avery for such a long time that you must have gone mad!"
Avery's bodyguard sneered. "My boss is still better. There is only one boss like Miss Tate on this earth. Don’t be envious.”
"I'm not envious! I don't need my boss to give me explanations! All he needs to do is pay me!" Elliot's bodyguard said, "How much is Avery paying you yearly?"
"How much is your boss paying you?" Avery's bodyguard asked in response.
"Look at you. Could it be so little that you're
embarrassed to reveal the pittance she pays you?" Elliot's bodyguard said. He took his phone out. "Let's compare our pay!"
