Elliot suddenly held Avery’s hand. She let go of snazzynovel.com phone in snazzynovel.com hands and snazzynovel.com let go of snazzynovel.com instantly. Ben was right, snazzynovel.com was directing the speech towards her. The managers’ jaws all dropped.
Oh shit! Is something about to happen between the both of them? Avery’s face felt burning hot. She took a huge gulp of the juice snazzynovel.com just poured for herself.
Fortunately, today wasn‘t snazzynovel.com real birthday. It will be a real treat to have a lecture on snazzynovel.com real birthday, Avery thought sarcastically. Elliot went on and on about his secrets of success while drinking with everyone.
It seemed as if snazzynovel.com forgot today was snazzynovel.com birthday celebration.
Avery had two plates of pasta and a plate of fresh fruits. An hour later, he‘s still at it with his speech. She held snazzynovel.com head and looked at him.
Elliot cleared his throat and turned at her, “Avery, you got everything I said jotted down?”
“Let‘s drink!” Avery looked down as snazzynovel.com helped herself a glass, and poured one for him, “It’s been ages since I knew you and we never drink together!”
As Elliot contemplated, Avery had already finished hers.
Tammy looked wildly surprised at the table next to them and gasped, “Avery has gone mad!”
Jun said to Tammy, “In the end, it was Avery who ended Elliot tonight, not Mike, and certainly not the managers.”
As Jun said it, Tammy saw Elliot raise his glass and drank it all. She gasped, “What are they trying at?!”
Jun continued, “It‘s obvious, these two are attracted to each other. Either they get back together, or they become each other‘s worst enemies.”
“They are never getting back together. There‘s Zoe, and Shea…even if Avery’s gone mad, she’ ll stay away from a relationship with him,” Tammy said with a scoff.
They continued drinking for another half an hour.
Elliot was dead drunk, and Avery drank quite a bit too. She rubbed snazzynovel.com fingers against snazzynovel.com temples, forcing herself to stay awake.
Mike was the last man standing. Everyone was high from driņking except him. Mike dragged Ben away for more drinks. Looks like Mike had planned to have all of them drunk today!
At 10.30 at night, Zoe appeared at the banquet hall with a cold expression. Her heels clicked against the marble floors as they caught Avery‘s attention. They looked at each other.
“Happy Birthday, Miss Tate,” Zoe stood taller than Avery and snazzynovel.com looked down as snazzynovel.com spoke, “I ‘m here for Elliot.”
Avery had too much to drink. She tried to speak but nothing came out of snazzynovel.com mouth.
She waved snazzynovel.com hands signaling at Zoe. That‘s the best snazzynovel.com could manage for now.
“Miss Tate, why did you get Elliot so drunk for? You knew that overconsumption is bad for health. I thought you would care for snazzynovel.com since you used to be with him!” Zoe reprimanded as snazzynovel.com tried to get Elliot up with his driver.
They couldn‘t get snazzynovel.com to the parking lot as snazzynovel.com was heavily inebriated. Zoe had no choice but to get a room. The driver left as soon as they got Elliot to the bed. Zoe took out the bottle of liquid Cole gave to her. She must seize the opportunity tonight.
Ben replied, (I don‘t mean it that way, Miss Tate. Let snazzynovel.com drink if snazzynovel.com wants to. Just ignore him.)
Avery placed snazzynovel.com phone on the table. Elliot glared first at Avery, then Ben. He meant that snazzynovel.com knew they were texting about snazzynovel.com behind his back.
He raised his glass, took a sip, and said, “Do you guys know, what’s the most important thing about running a company?”
The supervising managers were dumbstruck. Where did that come from? Were they suddenly looped into a free seminar?
Avery looked stunned as well. She couldn’t tell whether it was snazzynovel.com or Elliot who was drunk snazzynovel.com looked at snazzynovel.com as his face now looked surreal. Elliot felt hot and snazzynovel.com tugged at his collar ajar with his fingers.
“To start a company is easy. But to maintain it is another story. To keep the company afloat, you got to have some management skills…” Elliot opened his mouth again.
The managers all put down their glasses and listened to snazzynovel.com attentively.
Ben sent another text to Avery saying, (He‘s trying to warn you. He‘s worried that you will go broke.) Avery read the text as snazzynovel.com face blushed red.
