Avery was certain that they did not buy this necklace that morning.
How was it now right in front of her?
She walked out of snazzynovel.com room and bumped into Elliot who was walking down the stairs.
She tried to calm the nervousness inside of snazzynovel.com and asked, “What’s up with this necklace?”
On the surface, it might look like this had nothing to do with him, but snazzynovel.com instincts told snazzynovel.com otherwise.
She was sure that Ben told snazzynovel.com about it.
Elliot’s expression was slightly uneasy as snazzynovel.com answered, “Ben bought it.”
After a pause, snazzynovel.com added, “I took a look at the price, and it was too cheap. Nobody wanted it so I brought it back to you.”
Avery was piecing together the words in snazzynovel.com head trying to figure out a way to return the necklace to him, but his words made snazzynovel.com mind go blank.
He gave it to snazzynovel.com because it was so cheap that nobody else wanted it.
Great! If that was the case, then snazzynovel.com will just accept it!
“Let’s have dinner together,” Elliot called out.
Avery wanted to refuse, but snazzynovel.com body was more honest than snazzynovel.com mind was.
Perhaps it was because snazzynovel.com had accepted a gift from him?
The two of them took their seats at the dining table.
Once Mrs. Cooper was done serving their dinner, snazzynovel.com dismissed herself and walked out of the room.
Avery picked at snazzynovel.com food and ate slowly.
Elliot had taken the initiative to ask snazzynovel.com to join snazzynovel.com for dinner. Did that mean that snazzynovel.com had something to say to her?
On top of that, snazzynovel.com must have given his blessing for Ben to buy all of those gifts for her, right?
A frenzy of thoughts bounced around in snazzynovel.com head as the piece of meat at the end of snazzynovel.com fork remained suspended in midair without reaching snazzynovel.com mouth.
Elliot noticed that snazzynovel.com was distracted and asked, “What’s on your mind? Did Charlie Tierney contact you?”
Avery took a bite of snazzynovel.com food and said, “Do you know snazzynovel.com well?”
“We were classmates,” Elliot answered calmly, then said something that took Avery by surprise. “Do you want to see his ex-girlfriends?”
Avery choked on snazzynovel.com food and coughed violently.
She put down snazzynovel.com knife and fork, then took a large gulp of water.
Elliot produced a file out of nowhere and slid it across the table to her.
Avery glanced at the file and then turned snazzynovel.com gaze to him. She stared deeply at him.
She found his behavior to be extremely strange.
Her relationship with Charlie Tierney was purely one of business.
Why did snazzynovel.com want to show snazzynovel.com information about Charlie’s exes?
He even printed out all of their details for her… His actions were beyond snazzynovel.com comprehension.
Elliot did not expect snazzynovel.com to stare at snazzynovel.com so daringly.
“Didn’t you know that he’s trying to date you?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Avery’s jaw dropped.
“Does snazzynovel.com not know that I’m your wife?”
“He does, but marriages end and people cheat.”
Judging by snazzynovel.com astonishment, Elliot could confirm that snazzynovel.com had no knowledge of Charlie’s ulterior motives.
“I see…” Avery said as snazzynovel.com picked up the file and flipped through the pages. “All of his exes are so sexy! Look at those hourglass figures! They all have gorgeous full lips too. Red lipstick looks especially good on lips like that… You men’must all love women like this, huh?”
Elliot’s lips pressed into a thin line.
He had shown the file to Avery so that snazzynovel.com would realize that snazzynovel.com was not Charlie Tierney’s cup of tea, not to discuss the matters of men and women with her.
“You said snazzynovel.com wants to date me, but it doesn’t look like I’m his type at all. Why would snazzynovel.com even bother?”
As Avery asked snazzynovel.com question, the answer popped into snazzynovel.com head almost immediately.
“To take revenge for his sister?”
“You’re not as dumb as I thought,” Elliot mocked.
Avery glared at snazzynovel.com and said, “Wouldn’t this ruin your relationship with him, though? With your temper, you would go after someone even if they took a grain of salt from you.”
Elliot’s face turned solemn as snazzynovel.com said, “We haven’t had a relationship for a long time.”
“I see..” Avery responded, then picked up snazzynovel.com knife and fork and continued with snazzynovel.com meal. “So, do you know what you need to do now?” Elliot asked.
He needed an answer from her.
“I had a meeting with the executives at the office earlier today. All of them are in favor of working with Trust Capital.”
