“You have the power to reject,” Elliot said.
“Just eat your food!” Avery snapped. “Even if I decide to work with Charlie Tierney, it doesn’t mean that I will fall in love with him. Why do you think that I’ll give in to his advances? Do I seem that easy to you?” Elliot fell silent. Avery returned to snazzynovel.com room after dinner, opened Charlie’s email, and looked through its contents.
A wave of uneasiness washed over snazzynovel.com after snazzynovel.com finished reading it.
She did not know a thing about running a company, but snazzynovel.com understood Charlie’s proposal very well. ” If they go in the direction that snazzynovel.com suggested, Tate Industries might just be able to come back from the dead.
If it were not for the fact that Charlie was Chelsea Tierney’s brother, snazzynovel.com would have immediately agreed t o work with him.
Avery shut snazzynovel.com laptop and lay down on snazzynovel.com bed.
She picked up snazzynovel.com phone and saw a text from Tammy.
[I slept with Jun Hertz! Ugh! I think I’m in love with him!
Avery did not expect things to turn out the way they did.
However, apart from being a little strange, Jun Hertz was not a bad catch at all.
Avery: (Work things out with snazzynovel.com if you’re in love. This is your fate!)
Tammy: (He said snazzynovel.com wants me to meet someone important tomorrow but won’t tell me who it is. I’m so nervous!)
Avery: (Maybe snazzynovel.com wants to surprise you.)
Tammy: (A surprise is fine, but I don’t need a fright. Let’s talk about your husband! Do you sleep in the same room?)
Avery’s cheeks flushed as snazzynovel.com replied: (I’m in the guest bedroom. There’s nothing much to talk about him. Stop asking.)
Tammy: (Is snazzynovel.com good looking?)
Avery did not want to answer at first, but Elliot’s handsome face popped into snazzynovel.com mind and snazzynovel.com could not help herself from texting back: (Yes.)
Tammy: (Damn, Avery! You sure are lucky! How old is he?)
Avery: (He’s up there. He’s pretty much an old man to us.)
Tammy: (Older men have their advantages. They’re gentle, thoughtful, and know how to treat you well.)
Avery: (I think you’ve been watching too many romantic dramas.)
Tammy: (Didn’t you say snazzynovel.com was good looking? That’s all you need! A handsome face can make up for all a man’s shortcomings!)
At breakfast the next day, Avery deliberately stared at Elliot for longer than usual.
The more snazzynovel.com glanced at his thick brows, smoldering eyes, chiseled nose, and seductive lips, the more attractive snazzynovel.com seemed.
She recalled what Tammy had said the night before, and began to believe that a handsome face might just be able to make up for all of a man’s faults.
Elliot ignored snazzynovel.com blatant observation of snazzynovel.com and asked, “Do you have time tonight?”
Avery’s heart skipped a beat.
Was snazzynovel.com asking snazzynovel.com out?
“I think so,” Avery said as snazzynovel.com lowered snazzynovel.com gaze and took a bite of toast.
“I’ll get the driver to pick you up in the afternoon.”
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll find out when we get there.”
This was a vast improvement from the time Elliot had taken snazzynovel.com to a recital without previously asking snazzynovel.com about it.
He was at least giving snazzynovel.com a heads up this time.
At 5 p.m. that evening, Jun brought Tammy to a high-end restaurant.
“Do you remember that friend I mentioned before?” Jun asked as snazzynovel.com held Tammy’s hand like snazzynovel.com did not want to be apart from snazzynovel.com for a second. “The one who suddenly got a wife.”
Tammy thought about it and the memory popped back into snazzynovel.com mind.
“Do you mean the one who had a shotgun marriage? The one who got you to help out his wife when snazzynovel.com got in trouble but got mad when snazzynovel.com actually came out to meet you?”
