"No way," the vice president thought to himself. "Did Avery Tate leave?" He took a deep breath, then knocked on the open door to Elliot's office.
Elliot looked up, saw who it was, then immediately said, "Come in and shut the door." The vice president was terrified! Elliot's tone was no different than usual, but there was something scary about the way he said the words "come in and shut the door".
The vice president timidly walked into the door and closed the door behind him.
"Where's Miss Tate, Sir?" Elliot pushed the file he was working on aside, then said coldly, "Do you need to talk to her about something?" He paused, then continued ominously, "You scared her off." The vice president's back broke into a cold sweat.

The vice president humbly hung his head. His face said, "Do what you want with me." "I don't want a word of this going out!" Elliot snapped.
The vice president nodded furiously and said, "Don’t worry! | won't say a word!" "I've still got some work to do. Bring the others to come see me in thirty minutes.” Elliot's tone returned to its usual calm.
The vice president let out an internal sigh of relief.
"It looks like the boss really is in a great mood today!" he thought.
Avery drove her car aimlessly on the road.
She had yet to calm down from her earlier fright.
How humiliating! She never dreamed of anything like that happening in her life.
Sure enough, one should never act on impulse.
She called Tammy and asked her to come out and meet her.
They met at a cafe half an hour later.

Tammy watched as she ate slowly, then asked in confusion, "You didn't call me out here just so | could watch you eat, did you?" Avery stopped eating, then said, "I went to see Elliot just now." Tammy could not hold back her laughter.
"I was wondering why you were wearing this outfit today... You kept saying how it didn't suit you before, but you look gorgeous in it! Hahaha! | bet Elliot was shocked to see you wearing this, right?" Avery's cheeks flushed as she said, "He stared at me like an idiot... It was such a huge difference!" "Hahaha! Did the tyrannical president turn into a drooling idiot?" Tammy said as she imagined the scene in her head.
"Pretty much..." Avery took a sip of water as she tried to calm herself. "Then, we got on the couch in his office =e%?UIU<..." "Holy sh*t! That's hot! Why do you look so miserable, though? Is he... impotent?!" Tammy exclaimed in horror.
If she was right, then she would definitely tell Avery to find another man.
Avery took a deep breath, then held her head in her hands and said, "While we were ... In his office... A group of employees saw us." Tammy had her breath taken away.
"You two are incredible!" "I'm never going to his office ever again." Avery gritted her teeth and kicked herself." Why didn't | just agree when he said he would come see me at my place? Why did | have to insist on going to his office? Oh, right. | was worried it'd affect his work... Then again, it's not like he could do any work with me there!" "There's no point in regretting it now, Avery! What's done is done, just accept it! | bet this has already spread all over the company,” Tammy said, adding fuel to fire. "This type of gossip spreads like wildfire!" Avery was stuck in a daze.
When she finally snapped out of it, she said, "By the way, did you buy someone online for me? | received a package from Bridgedale this afternoon.”
