The avalanche had disrupted and damaged themunication system in the area, so there was no hope in calling for help.
Thankfully, the avalanche immediately made international news.
The other two employees of Tate Industries who were in the hotel received the news and started calling Layla and her assistant
Emma right away.
"Ms. Tate won't pick up."
"Neither will Emma. The signal has to be out over there! What should we do? Should we order a taxi and go there?"
"The roads are probably all blocked!"
"So are we just going to stand here and wait?! If something happens to Ms. Tate, we—"
"Stop being so pessimistic! Ms. Tate didn't go alone. Eric Santos went with her, didn't he?"
"So what if he did? There's a gigantic avalanche. It's not like Eric can control it! You have probably seen too many movies and have
mistaken him for skind of hero!"

"Why are you shouting at me?! | just want Ms. Tate to be safe."
The two argued heatedly.
"We need to call Mr. Foster! Are you doing it or should I?" the manager said to the team leader.
"You are my superior, so you are doing it," the team leader said. "Mr. Foster might not answer my call."
"You are just askingto call him because you know he's going to be livid! How convenient for you!"
"Stopplaining. If Ms. Tate dies, we will both be blamed." The team leader sighed. "I should have gone with her."
"To die? Haven't you seen the photos of the mountain right now? Even the ticket counter is covered in snow! You can't survive
that!" the manager said, feeling chills run down his spine. "The news said that it's been over a decade since an avalanche of this
scale occurred. Our boss is just unlucky. Had she gone a day before or after, she wouldn't have run into this!"
"That's just about as unlucky as a person can be!"
"Alright, just stop! My head hurts! | will call Mister Foster! Even if Ms. Tate died, we still need to recover her body!" the manager
said before calling Elliot.
The moment he dialed the number, tears began to roll down his cheeks, and the team leader gaped at him, wondering if this was
the difference between a team leader and a manager.
Elliot answered the call after a while.
It was ten in the morning in Aryadelle, so Elliot and Avery went for a walk after breakfast before heading back home.
As they were changing into their slippers, they heard Elliot's phone ringing.
"Didn't you bring your phone with you?" Avery asked.
"No." Elliot put on his slippers and went to the living room.
"Who's calling you this early in the morning?" Avery put on her slippers as well and followed Elliot.
Elliot grabbed his phone from the table and immediately answered the call after glancing at the screen.

"Mr. Foster, something happened!" Elliot immediately tensed at the manager's sob. "Ms. Tate went to the Cambrode mountain with
Eric today, and we just received news that there has been an enormous avalanche... | tried calling Ms. Tate and her assistant
Emma, but none of them answered their phones... Emma went to the mountain, too, but not with Ms. Tate. Ms. Tate went with
Eric... | don't have Eric's number, and | don't know if he can be reached..."
Elliot kept the manager on the line and immediately tried to call Eric.
Avery was standing next to Elliot and though she could not hear every single word, she faintly heard the mention of an avalanche
and immediately felt her blood run cold as she watched her husband dial Eric's number.
"Sorry, the number you are calling is unavailable. Please try again later."
"Eric went to see Layla because she asked him to go. Are they in that avalanche?" Avery asked hastily.
Elliot nodded and returned to the phone call with the manager.
"Mr. Foster, we failed to protect Ms. Tate... We are calling a taxi to go there... the roads are all blocked, but we will get as far as we
can... If we manage to reach Ms. Tate, | will let you know right away, but it's best if youe here immediately! None of us know
what to do at this point!"
This time, Avery heard everything.
