Avery stared at him in shock.
"Avery, don't overthink this. The kids are growing up, and they have their own thoughts. As long as they don't make horrible
mistakes and focus on their studies, we don't have to be so nervous," Elliot said and left, leaving Avery to walk into the building.
As soon as she entered the office, Avery immediately called the new Vice President, who hurried to Avery's office shortly after.
Avery was slightly taken by surprise as she did not think that he would look so young. Though she knew that he was actually in his
forties, he seemed to have maintained his health well, and he looked to be in his thirties.
"Hello, President Tate. Allowto introduce myself. My nis Melvin Thornton. Glad to meet your acquaintance. You look far
more beautiful than you do in photos."
"Hello, Mr. Thornton."
"There's no need for such formality! Just callMelvin," he said. "Frankly, | feel a little hurt that you didn't inviteto your
wedding."

She froze for a moment. "Hahaha! I'm sorry about that. The wedding on Christmas was planned by my friends so we didn't even
know there was a wedding until the day of the wedding itself."
Melvin nodded. "So | heard, which is why I'm not as upset now."
"Hahaha! I'll bring sof the sweets we served during the wedding tomorrow."
"You are so kind! | thought that Elliot assigned Chad to manage the Bridgedale branch because he wantedand Chad to
compete against one another..."
"You've read too much into it. Chad was transferred simply because he wanted to live there. The two of you aren't supposed to be
competitors. You need to work together," she said. "You will have to strengthen all forms of communication with the Bridgedale
branch. Chad has worked for Elliot for many years, and | know for a fact that he's capable. | heard from Shaun that you've been
working overseas and have recently decided to move back for your family. Shaun mentioned that you are good at your job, which
is why | couldn't wait to give you a call as soon as | arrive."
"I don't really know Mr. Locklyn so he probably asked around about me. I just thought | could try this out since he was very sincere
when he reached out to me. We actually think and act very differently," Melvin confessed. "I took a look at the company's
operations, and with the company's current state, simply upgrading our products won't do. I've discussed with the R&D
department and they've reached a standstill with the drones. It's going to be extremely difficult to make it any better at the
moment, but the market demand still exists, so we need to switch up the way we think."
Avery nodded. "Put your thoughts into a proposal and show me. We will have a meeting with the other managers after that."
"Sure. I'll get back to work now, then."
"Alright."
After he left, Avery turned on her desktop and glanced around the office.
Natalie had worked here before, so the interior had changed slightly, but Avery did not mind it.

Tate Industries had expanded while Natalie was in charge, and though Natalie was capable, she was far too ambitious and had no
morals.
People like that were often dangerous.
Avery studied her office, opened her purse and took out her thermal flask, tissue, hand cream, sanitizer and snacks out, laying
them out on the desk.
It had been so long since she had worked, so she felt oddly excited.
After putting her purse away, she cleaned the desk, desktop and mouse with the sanitizer, before sitting down to log into her work
account and email account.
Shaun had sent her a copy of Melvin's resume, and she read through it before she sent it to Elliot with a message.
[Forward Chad's email toand I'll edit it accordingly.]
Elliot replied with an 'okay' emoji, before forwarding the email to her.
