Avery was stunned.
“Initially everyone was just privately discussing who the father of your child is. Last night, Elliot suddenly arrived. Although he said nothing, he kept looking at you. It’s too obvious!” The vice president chuckled.
Avery said, “Eric was also looking at me last night.”.
“That’s different. If the child is Eric’s why would Elliot continue harping over you? Elliot is not the type who would let himself lose.” The vice president said vividly.
Avery opened her laptop.
The vice president continued, “Elliot boycotted Eric. So many big brands chose to cancel their contract with Eric because they did not dare to defy him. Only our company would dare to do so, why? Because you’re pregnant with his child.
“Last night during the live stream, many called me to ask me to advise you to not be so rash. They said that Elliot would surely come looking for us for trouble. Look at today’s headlines! I was laughing my head off!”
“Miss Tate, the scandal this time made our company the biggest winner.”
Avery opened her email to look at the job reports for the day. The sales last night were higher than the sales of the previous month. No wonder the vice president was so happy.
“If this trend continues, as long as our core technology won’t be surpassed by others, Wanda won’t be able to defeat us,” The vice president said confidently, “Eric is now our spokesperson. He has a huge fan base! Although he has been boycotted, that does not affect his fans buying our products to avenge him.”
Avery nodded. “I’m going abroad the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay. Miss Tate, your tummy is getting bigger by the day. You don’t need to come to the office. Don’t tire yourself from traveling. I will let you know at first notice if anything happens, “The vice president said.
Avery said, “Thank you.”
“The company is progressing so well, it’s all thanks to you,” The vice president lamented, “If your father in heaven could see how well you managed Tate Industries, he would be relieved.”
Avery lowered her gaze. She hoped her father could rest in peace.
Henry let out a sigh of relief upon Elliot’s reply. “I plan to wait until at least three months then I’ll let them get engaged. As for the wedding, we could do it after the child is born. What do you think about that?”
Elliot said, “Just let me know once you set the date.”
Henry said, “Okay! We brothers have not drank together for a long time! We have to drink tonight!”
Elliot raised his glass and took a sip.
An hour later, the drunk Henry was brought back to his room by his wife.
Elliot has drunk quite a bit too. His handsome face had a shade of red.
“Elliot.” Zoe chased after him to the front yard. “I have really loved you previously. Even if you’re the unattainable President of the Sterling Group, I still love you! My love for you is definitely not less than Chelsea’s or Avery’s love for you, yet why are you so cruel to me?”
