When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242 

Avery was left speechless by Tammy’s words.

It was all her own fault! 

Why did she have to accept Elliot‘s gift?! 

Things would not be this awkward if she had just rejected it. 

Avery hung up on Tammy, then called Mike and said, “Don‘t you think you should tell me before organizing a makeup birthday party?” 

“What if I told you first and you said no?” Mike said. He knew her too well. “If I inform everybody else before I tell you about it, then you would have no choice but to show up.”

Avery let out a bitter laugh. 

“You have fun with everybody on your own, then! I‘m not going!” 

“I already invited Elliot Foster! That shameless man accepted the invitation right away!” Mike said mockingly. “Your ex husband sure is thick–skinned, Avery. Why do you like men like him?

Avery lifted her hand to massage her temples, then hung up the phone. 

Tammy called again less than a minute later. 

“Elliot‘s going to the party, Avery! I figured someone as proud as him would definitely take the chance to decline!” Tammy said. “I can never predict his reaction. Is this a special trait that only successful people have?” 

“You can never predict the reactions of a madman, either. Stop looking at him through rose tinted glasses, Tammy.” 

“Hahaha! You always get so worked up when we talk about him,” Tammy assessed. “It looks like you still love him! Otherwise, you wouldn‘t react like this!” 

Avery took a large gulp of water, then found an excuse to end the call. 

She suddenly missed the days when she was too busy for anything else.

After inviting Elliot to the party, Mike went into the bathroom to compose himself.

Once he was calm enough, he called Chad’s number.

Mike had deleted Chad’s number long ago, but for some god forsaken reason memorized it.

Scanned with CamScanner 

It took a while before his call was answered.

“I thought you wouldn’t answer my call! Why didn‘t you reply to my text a few days ago?” 

Mike was forced to send Chad an apology text a few days ago after Avery’s threats.

However, Chad did not respond to his text, and Mike could not stop thinking about it.

“You have the right to text me, and I have the right to not text back,” Chad said coldly. “Please don’t call me for no reason.”

“I do have a reason! Are you coming to Avery’s birthday party this weekend?”

“It depends if my boss is going or not.” 

“Elliot Foster told me he was coming!” 

“In that case, I‘ll be going with him,” Chad said, then added, “I‘m busy right now. Please don’ t call me again during office hours.” 

He then hung up the phone. 

A raging fury boiled inside of Mike. 

He was nothing but a puny assistant! 

What could he be busy with? 

Elliot did not say anything like that to him! 

Mike was second in command at Tate Industries, but was he constantly saying he was bus

Moments later, Mike created a text chain with some of the company‘s managers.

The name of the chain was “Down with Elliot Foster“. When the heads of department and managers saw the shocking title, nobody dared comme in the chain. 

Mike: (We‘re bringing Elliot Foster down at the party this Saturday! Is everyone in?!)

One of the managers replied: (How?] 

Mike: (With alcohol, of course! How else?) Everyone in the group was relieved.
