The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 277

When Avery thought of the two children, she felt extremely guilty. She breathed a sigh of relief once she heard that they were fine.

It was fortunate nothing happened to them. If something really happened, she would have regretted it for the rest of her life.

Avery vowed to Lindsay, “I promise it won't happen again.”

At that, Lindsay nodded, opened the door, and exited the room.

As a whole, Lindsay fairly approved of this girl.

After all, Avery was pretty, had a gentle personality, and was educated. Not only did the CEO like her, but she was also the twins' biological mother. If she could be with them, then Rory and Zachary would have a warm and complete family.

Nevertheless, it seemed that this young mother still had a long way to go.

After Lindsay left, Avery opened the box and found a set of white Chanel clothing inside.

The cuts and finishings of the clothing were neat, and its design was elegant.

Avery had seen this set of clothing and the accessories that come with it in the newest issue of a fashion magazine. This whole set could cost a year of her income.

Such clothing wasn't something a person from the working class like her could wear.

However, besides this set, she didn't have any other things to wear.

Moreover, she needed to go to the company later.

After all, Nina was still in Dylan's clutches, and her situation was unknown. Avery had to go to the company and beg Cayden to save Nina since he was the latter's last hope.

In addition, she was called out by Wisteria in public for taking too many days off. So she couldn't take another day of absence anymore.

Due to the circumstances, Avery had no choice but to wear the set of Chanel.

To her surprise, the clothing fit her like a glove.

At Trident Group, when Avery appeared in the design department, she instantly attracted the attention of her female colleagues.


The instant Betty saw that blouse on Avery, she exclaimed so loudly with a voice so shrill that the whole department could hear her. “Wow, Avery! Are you wearing the latest piece from Chanel? That outfit is well worth a few months of our salary! I'm envious!”

Even though she seemed like she was expressing her admiration toward the shirt, jealousy oozed from her words.

Having an affair with the boss really changes things. Betty couldn't help but exclaim internally.

Betty remembered that when Avery had just entered the company, she wore only regular clothes. But now? The things Avery wore were so stylish that she could only watch on with envy.

At that, Avery answered good-naturedly, “Oh, you know, these are actually knockoffs. I can't possibly afford the real deal.”

On the side, Cecelia, who was focused on designing, looked up and scrutinized Avery's attire.

She was very familiar with many brands and their products and could immediately tell that what Avery was wearing now was genuine. Nevertheless, Cecelia kept quiet and merely smiled.

After Betty heard that the clothing was knockoffs, she felt a bit better. Betty muttered, “That makes sense. Your salary is lower than mine, so there's no way you could have afforded the real thing. Unless a man paid for you.”

When Avery heard that, her expression darkened.

Of course, Cecelia had always supported Avery, so she rolled her eyes at Betty and sneered, “What do you know? Ery can easily live off the money she receives using her good looks, but she doesn't. Instead, she earns money with her own hands. She's not like a certain someone who looks average and has a nasty and petty personality. Moreover, that certain someone is as flat as a board. Even if that person were to undress and throw herself at a man, that man would ignore her. Sigh. There will always be people better than you. What can you do?”

Immediately, the others covered their mouths and snickered.

At that jab right at Betty's sore spot, she glared at Avery's ample bosom.

Betty's size was a small bun-like A cup, so she always preferred wearing heavily padded bras to conceal that fact. Now that Cecelia had exposed her, Betty was so embarrassed that she was at a loss for words.

She swore to herself that she would scrimp for a few months to get the money for breast enlargement surgery.

On the other hand, Avery didn't bother about her colleagues' open rivalry and veiled strikes. If this had happened to her a few years ago, she might argue with Betty about a thing or two, but now, she could brush off everything as a joke. After all her rough experiences, her mental strength gradually increased.

What was in Avery's mind right now was how she would plead for Cayden to save Nina when she reached the CEO's office.

After all, he was furious yesterday.

At that time, Cayden was like an enraged dinosaur, and that image was still stuck in Avery's head. She remembered how Cayden violently stabbed the glass cup into Dylan's palm.

Instantly, she couldn't help but shudder.

Other than that, Avery knew that a rift had appeared in their relationship.

For our old time's sake, will he help me find Nina? She was unsure.

As Avery pondered her options, Cecelia suddenly tugged at the scarf around Avery's neck, something which she didn't normally wear.

Shockingly, what Cecelia saw were bruises and bite marks all over Avery's neck, as if an animal had gnawed on her. She took a sharp breath.

Leaning against Avery, Cecelia teasingly asked, “Avery, I wonder how long Mr. Moore did not have sex? Jeez. He was not gentle with you, huh? Look at the state of your neck. As a woman, I pity what he had done to you... Come on, spill it! What's Mr. Moore like in bed?”

“Stop it, Cecelia.” Avery flushed a bright red, and even her ears were pinkish.

Immediately, Avery tightly grabbed her scarf and looked at Cecelia cautiously—specifically her hands—for fear she would yank her scarf off.

“Okay, okay. I won't tease you anymore. I want you to take this to the CEO's office and hand it to Mr. Moore.” Cecelia let out a giggle.

Cecelia didn't expect Avery to be this shy since the latter had sex before.

Thus, Cecelia handed a document to Avery. Initially, that was the former's job, but she didn't want to come face-to-face with Cayden's cold and expressionless face. Although he was heart-stoppingly handsome, not many could stand his bone-chilling aura.

On the other hand, Avery was Cayden's woman. Only when he was with her would his expression slightly warm up. Hence, sending Avery on that errand was the best choice.
