Chad hung up and handed the phone back to Elliot." Avery's Vice-president got her the flowers."
Elliot instantly calmed down.
"Go back and take a shower, Mr. Foster." Chad stared at the coffee stain on Elliot's clothes. "Your secretary wanted to apologize to you, but I sent her back to work seeing how pale she looked."
Elliot didn't blame his secretary for what happened. He grabbed onto his phone and left the office.
Meanwhile, in Tate Industries.
When Avery found out that it was the vice-president who sent her the flowers, she shoved the card to his face and said, "if you are representing all employees when you got me the flowers, you should have written you are forever our goddess, not you are forever my goddess. Did you even pass your English test back in school?"
Shaun lowered his head and apologized. "I just didn't see that big a difference between those two ways of saying it, President Tate. Everyone sees you as their goddess..."
"You are still arguing? Why didn't you tell me that you are getting me flowers? I called Elliot and scolded him because I thought that he was the one who sent these, do you know how humiliating that was?!"
Avery flushed and took her glass to take a sip of water, only to realize that it was empty.
Shaun immediately took her glass and filled it for her. "You are right, President Tate, you are absolutely right! Take this as a warning to him, then. We all remember to send you flowers, so how could he forget to do the same? A bouquet doesn’t cost much and considering how rich he is, if he wouldn’t even buy you flowers, it means that he doesn't really care about you."
Shaun handed the glass back to Avery respectfully.
"You may go now! Thank you for the flowers." Avery didn't want to continue the topic.
