Chad and Elliot were in the black Rolls-Royce. Chad had accepted a phone call from Mike, and when he had ended the call, he turned and looked at Elliot.

"Mr. Foster, Mike just called me. He invited me to a hotel to have a meal." Chad hesitated, "Do you want to come?"

Elliot's expression darkened. "They didn't invite me. Why should I go?"

Chad said awkwardly, "I heard that Avery had called you this morning, but she could not get through to you. Why don't… you two meet and talk? Don't pay attention to her smiles while she was on the live stream. Mike said that she was absolutely livid. I'm guessing she dressed as she did to upset you."

Elliot's gaze darkened. "How do you know she did not wear it for Eric?"

Chad could feel Elliot's anger, and he dared not say more.

Eric was at the hotel, and he was giving a demonstration on the latest drone that came out of Tate Industries. Later, by popular demand, he sang for them too.

The live stream suddenly became an online concert!
