Chapter 339
When His Eyes Opened
Chapter 339 âMike! Why arenât you and Miss Tate answering your phones?â said the vice president
anxiously as he gave Mike a once over. âSomething huge happened! Hurry up and wake Miss Tate up!â
With an embarrassed face, Mike scratched his head and walked into the house.
âItâs not like the company shut down. What happened?â
The vice president followed Mike and said, âDid you two engage a celebrity to advertise for us
overnight? Some pop idol called Eric Santos spoke up for our products! Heâs a major celebrity!â
The embarrassment vanished from Mikeâs face as bewilderment took over.
âWhy donât I understand a thing youâre saying?â
âMy god! Thereâs a huge celebrity called Eric Santos who showed his support for the Storm Series on
social media. Since his post went up, our customer service lines have been blowing up. Whatâs even
more crazy is that new orders are coming in at an alarming rate⦠Iâve never seen this kind of chaos
before!â said the vice president with flushed cheeks.
He could not reach Avery or Mike on their phones, so he showed up at the villa.
Mike felt that things were not that simple after hearing the vice presidentâs words.
He rushed over to the master bedroom, knocked on the door, then entered to find the room completely
empty.
âAvery isnât home,â Mike muttered. âYou canât reach her phone?â
The vice president shook his head and said, âI even tried calling before I rang the doorbell! Her phoneâs
off.â
Mike quickly went to his room and changed his clothes.
âI looked into Eric Santos. He had disappeared for three years before he spoke up for our company!
After his post went up, all of the trolls that slandered our company instantly vanished! The fighting
power of his fans is incredible!â
âI know Eric Santos. Avery is a fan of his,â Mike said as he became more clear headed. âI donât know
why heâs helping us. We have to ask Avery about it.â
âDidnât she say where she was going?â asked the vice president frantically. âMy phoneâs been blowing
up all morning. Other than switching it on to call you, Iâve had it on airplane mode the entire time.â
Mike raised his brows and asked, âIs it that serious?â
The vice presidentâs forehead was dripping with sweat as he said, âIt is! Everyone thinks weâre
working with Eric Santos and asking me how we made him come back to life! They even asked me
how much we paid him! My own daughterâs been pestering me for his autograph!â
Mike was speechless.
It was the day of Elliot Foster and Zoe Sanfordâs engagement party.
The guests were already gathered at the hotel venue.
Zoe was dressed in a custom, high-end gown with her hair and makeup ready, and she had been
anticipating Elliotâs arrival since the morning.
As eight in the morning turned into nine in the morning, she was beginning to lose patience.
âLetâs head over to the hotel first!â Rosalie said as she tried to comfort Zoe. âI tried to call him earlier but
his phone was turned off. Iâm sure heâll call us back right away when he sees our missed calls.â
Zoe maintained a polite smile on her face, but her heart was filled with misery.
They had agreed for Elliot to pick her up from the old mansion and drive to the hotel together.
It was the day of their engagement.
No matter what happened, he should not have his phone turned off!
The bottom line was that Elliot did not care for Zoe at all.
On the way to the hotel, Zoe scrolled through her phone in frustration and happened upon Eric Santosâ
latest social media post.
Her brows furrowed.
Why was Eric Santos helping Avery Tate?
If he did not stand up for her, Tate Industries was sure to go under soon!
Something suddenly clicked inside of Zoeâs head.
Did Avery have anything to do with Elliotâs absence?
At that thought, Zoe dialed Averyâs number with trembling fingers.
âSorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.â
Zoe burst into tears!
Elliotâs phone was turned off!
Averyâs phone was switched off, too! Were they together right now?!
