When His Eyes Opened (full chapter)

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!” The cup fell and the coffee spilled all over his hand, the desk and his clothes. Terrified, the secretary frantically apologized. With no regards to the awkward state he was in, Elliot immediately took some tissue to wipe away the coffee on the screen of his phone and accidentally pressed on the button to accept the call on speakered phone. Avery’s voice echoed around the meeting room. “Elliot Foster! Were you the one who sent me flowers? Do you take me for an eighteen years old teenage girl? Do you think that I would be grateful if you do this? Why are you so childish? Can’t you act like an adult? The issues between us cannot be resolved by a bouquet!” Avery’s throat felt dry from all the shouting and she picked up the glass of ater on her desk to take aie sip. Elliot stared at his phone and scowled, feeling as though someone had pressed the pause button on him since he heard her voice in the meeting.
“What I’m saying is that I won’t forgive you even if you give me all the roses in the world! Stop doing such meaningless things, or I’ll come to look down on you!” She raised her voice once94 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?!”
