If Ben had mentioned this when snazzynovel.com arrived at the house, Avery never would have gotten into his car.
“Mr. Schaffer, I know that all of you want to get on Elliot’s good side-“Avery began to say.
“What do you mean? Haven’t you ever gotten presents for your friends?” Ben interjected with a smile. “He always gets us something for our birthdays.”
“So, you don’t get snazzynovel.com a gift just because snazzynovel.com told you not to? That just shows that you don’t see snazzynovel.com as a friend at all, but as a boss,” Avery said. “I don’t think you should drag me into this. If I accept your gift on his behalf, it would be the same as me accepting a gift from him. If that’s the case, I won’t be able to take pleasure in reprimanding snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com makes me angry in the future.”
Ben was bewildered.
Take pleasure in reprimanding him? How exactly does Avery treat Elliot every day?
Ben began to suspect that his boss had a masochistic side to him.
“You should think of something else! I’m leaving,” Avery said, then turned and began to walk away.
Ben immediately reached out and grabbed snazzynovel.com arm.
“Miss Tate, Elliot’s birthday this year is different from the ones before,” snazzynovel.com said.
He had already prepared the perfect script, and his professional acting instantly silenced Avery.
“It was after his last birthday that snazzynovel.com had gotten into that accident and that rendered snazzynovel.com a vegetable. At the time, the doctors said that snazzynovel.com didn’t have much longer to live… None of us expected snazzynovel.com to pull through, but snazzynovel.com woke up in the end. It’s a good thing snazzynovel.com did, too. Otherwise, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t be able to celebrate his birthday this year…”
Avery’s heart turned as soft as cotton.
She put herself in his shoes and thought about how painful it would have been if snazzynovel.com was the one who was in a coma after getting into a car crash.
All Ben wanted was to celebrate Elliot’s birthday and get snazzynovel.com a gift to cheer snazzynovel.com up. Was that so wrong?
“Don’t worry, Miss Tate. We won’t give you anything too expensive. I hope you will be able to accept it with ease,” added Ben.
Avery gestured at the jewelry counter and said, “Everything here is too expensive. Let’s go somewhere else.”
She finally gave in!
“Do you need some beauty products, Miss Tate? I see you’ve got makeup on. Should we get some new makeup products? You’ll need some makeup remover to go along with that, right?”
Ben was in full swing.
“You have slender wrists, Miss Tate. I’m sure a bracelet would look good on you! Let’s get one! It’s pretty cheap!
“What do you think of these brand’s bags, Miss Tate? Let’s get something classy! A classic style would go with everything and you can it’s big enough to carry a bunch of stuff! It’s both stylish and practical!
“Miss Tate… Your shoes are looking worn out. Let’s get you a new pair! I know a store that sells flats that last forever. I’ll take you there!”
Avery saw a whole new side to Ben. It was like snazzynovel.com had never-ending spirit and energy. He also seemed to have a vast knowledge of women’s products.
He was able to easily list out everything from the best tampons to the stores with the most comfortable lingerie.
He truly was womankind’s best friend.
Avery would have been less cautious with snazzynovel.com if it were not for the fact that snazzynovel.com was Elliot’s CFO.
After spending the whole morning shopping, snazzynovel.com entire body began to ache.
She spotted a cafe and immediately went in and took a seat. She refused to walk into another store.
“What would you like to eat, Miss Tate? Go ahead and order whatever you want,” Ben said as snazzynovel.com passed a menu to her.
All Avery could feel was fatigue, so snazzynovel.com was not very hungry.
“Don’t call me out for things like this again, Mr. Schaffer. I’m only helping you out this once.”
There were about twenty to thirty gifts in total. Avery felt restless and uneasy. She should not have given in so easily.
However, when snazzynovel.com thought of Elliot now, his face was less loathsome to snazzynovel.com than before. Her head began to ache.
Ben took a sip of water, then said casually, “Sure thing. Thanks for your help today! You haven’t gotten back to Charlie Tierney with an answer, have you?”
“Not yet,” Avery responded. “He sent me an email last night with a revised proposal. I haven’t gotten a chance to look at it.” “He’s really pulling out all the stops for a chance to work with you!” Ben said, then Avery was distracted until a thought suddenly popped into snazzynovel.com head.
