When His Eyes Opened (Elliott and Avery) novel Chapter 891

Chapter 891 

Avery was overjoyed at the compliments she received.

Upon arriving at her office, she spotted a bouquet of red roses on her table and the smile on her face instantly froze.

It was not an ordinary bouquet; it contained at least ninety-nine roses and had taken up the space of over half of her desk.

Only a man would send a woman ninety-nine roses when he was trying to pursue her.

She placed her purse on the table and ran her fingers through the petals to find a hand written note, which said: ‘you are forever my goddess’.

Elliot’s face instantly appeared in her mind when she saw the note.

Who else would send her such an enormous bouquet along with such a cheesy note? She could tolerate him fawning over her in private, but doing so in her office would affect her mood to work In Sterling Group, it was time for the weekly meeting on Monday.

The managers entered the meeting room once Elliot arrived into the office.

After having too much to drink the night before, Elliot woke up with a mild headache and told the secretary to get him a cup of coffee before heading to the meeting room.

Once the meeting began, Elliot started to hear reports from all departments regarding performance in the prior week.

Shortly after, the secretary came in with the coffee and just as she was about to deliver the cup to Elliot’s hand, the screen of his phone lit up with Avery’s name displayed on it.

His heart thumped at Avery’s call and accidently bumped his hand towards the cup of coffee his secretary was holding when he reached for the phone.

"Snap!"

She raised her voice once again.

Elliot cursed under his breath and turned off the speaker mode; catching onto the key information in what she said, he asked, "Avery, someone sent you roses? Who?!"

Avery was taken by surprise.

‘It wasn’t him?’ She thought, ‘was I being unreasonable, then, for shouting so harshly at him? But I can’t make myself apologize to him.

I need to calm down and decide what to do next after I find out who gave me the roses!’ She took a deep breath and hung up without a moment of hesitation.

Inside the meeting room of Sterling Group, everyone was trying their best to suppress their laughter while they observed Elliot.

None of them had expected to hear Avery scold their all-mighty and respected boss for being childish and immature; what came as a bigger surprise was that Elliot did not get mad for being scolded like a small child.
