"Tiffany, when you look for a boyfriend in the future, you have to find one that listens to you," said Tammy, sharing her thoughts with Tiffany.Avery said, "Tammy, Tiffany is still young. Why are you talking to her about this?""You're right! Tiffany is still a little too young. Other than playing and eating, she doesn't think about anything else." Tammy ruffled Tiffany's head. Seeing how Tiffany's mouth was covered in food scraps, she gave Tiffany a tissue paper to wipe her mouth."Children at this age are all like this. You should be grateful that Tiffany is such a good girl. You haven't met naughty children. Those will give you a headache," said Avery, consoling Tammy."Is Robert naughty?" Tammy saw that Avery felt deeply about the matter, and she said, "But Robert is a good boy too!""I'm not talking about Robert. When we are out in public, we often see naughty children, right?""Oh, you meant those wild children! If my child goes while, I'll break their legs," Tammy said wi
Isaac immediately handed the menu to her. "Let's order first! You should be hungry at this hour.""Let's get straight to business instead!" Juliet pushed the menu away. "You said someone is looking for me. Who's looking for me?"Isaac took the menu, carelessly ordered a few signature dishes, and handed the menu to the waiter. After the waiter left, Isaac picked up the jug of water and calmly poured a glass of water for Juliet."Juliet, I can't tell you who it is for the time being. However, I can tell you how you were exposed." Isaac had long formulated a plan, so was calm and unhurried when he spoke.Juliet did not say anything. She calmly gazed into his eyes. Exposed?She was not aware of what had exposed her. "The scar on your wrist is not very common." Isaac pointed out the problem. "I don't understand what you have done, but I can tell you that the person who's looking for you is no ordinary person."After Juliet heard what he said, she immediately pulled her left hand
"I can fulfill your request, but I won't marry you." After Juliet thought about it for a moment, she said, "I'm not targeting you. I'm a person who doesn't want to get married. If you don't believe me, you can ask my boss.""Why are you not willing to get married?" Isaac asked as he was curious."Some people yearn to get married, but some just don't like the idea of marriage. There's no particular reason. I just don't like being tied to another person," Juliet said nonchalantly. "Besides, even if I did want to marry you, my parents would never allow me to marry someone from Aryadelle." Isaac smiled. "I have no intentions of marrying you. I'm not such an easy man either. I just like how you look. You are very beautiful, and you live up to my beauty standards." "I'm really unlucky," said Juliet, taking a dig at herself.The smile on Isaac's face disappeared. "Am I that bad for you to think so little of me?"Juliet said, "We aren't close, and I told you that I'm a person who does
"Accompany me back to my hometown for the New Year's then!" said Isaac with a smile. "Don't worry. I won't let you suffer any grievances. Since you're now my girlfriend, I certainly will do my best to treat you well."Juliet blocked out the words that came out of his mouth.The next morning, Avery called Juliet using the company's internal line and told her to come to her office. Juliet quickly entered Avery's office. Avery took out an exquisite little paper bag and handed it to her. "These are the chocolates I got when I attended the wedding rehearsal at the hotel yesterday. You can have them."Juliet accepted them while smiling. "Thank you, Miss Tate. Who gave you the chocolates?" "My husband's younger sister. She is marrying the chief financial officer from Sterling Group," said Avery with a smile."That's really a joyous occasion.""Hmm." Avery saw a red mark on Juliet's neck. "What happened to your neck? Are you allergic to something?"Juliet's skin was especially fair
"Why are you so nosy? I thought you already read through her resume?" Avery walked toward the elevator. "Wait for me at the airport. I'll head over now. We will talk later.""Sure. Drive safe. It's snowing outside!" Mike stood outside the airport and stared up at the sky.Aryadelle was warmer than Bridgedale in general, so he did not feel the cold despite standing outside.Forty minutes later, Avery arrived at the airport and saw Mike."Do you know why I asked you to pick me up instead of just taking a taxi?" Mike lifted his gigantic luggage and shoved it into the trunk.Avery stood next to him. "Because of the size of your luggage?""Yeah! These are all gifts for your kids. It's hideous for me to run around with this so I asked you to come pick me up. Isn't that the perfect solution?" Mike closed the back trunk door and walked toward her to stare at her face. "You gained weight."Avery just stared at him. Avery knew exactly what she looked like and how much she weighed. She h
"Mike, do you consider yourself young? You are just slightly younger than Elliot."Mike's grin froze."You just look young. I still have your medical reports, and you are in poorer shape than Elliot!" Avery said and Mike immediately fell into silence.Half an hour later, the two arrived at the restaurant and saw Juliet waiting there.The waiter served them the food, and Avery picked up her spoon. "I suppose you are both starving. Let's dig in!"Mike grabbed the jug of juice and poured a glass for Avery before turning to Juliet, "Ms. Sutton, would you like some juice?"Juliet could tell that Mike was an easy-going person and nodded.She noticed that he did not bother asking Avery whether she wanted a glass of juice; he just poured one for her. It meant that they must be extremely close. "Ms. Sutton, how's work so far?" Mike asked. "The beginning and end of a year are usually the busiest time and other times of the year usually aren't as demanding. Survive your probation and it
Avery flushed. "She said she doesn't plan on getting married.""Didn't Ben used to say the same thing? Look at him now! He's about to become a father," Mike mocked. "You can't possibly think whatever others say is the truth! If she met someone she truly likes, anything can happen.""Sure, but even if she really has a boyfriend, you don't have to act so shocked, right? I don't care about my employees' private lives.""Do you think I'm shocked about her? I'm shocked because you are so silly."Avery's expression darkened. "It's not that important so there's no need for me to look into it. She said it's a mosquito bite and whether or not that's the truth, I will believe her. If it's really what you think it is, it's going to be humiliating to say it out loud...""That's why I am telling you in private. I didn't say anything to her face, did I?""If you dare to say that in front of her, I would have sewed your lips together.""Hahaha! I know what I shouldn't do. I'll head back to get
With the last one being [patience].Avery was completely stunned when she saw the messages. She proceeded to randomly click on one of them and saw Ben complaining about how Lilith refused to take her medicine and that he never wanted to bother caring for her again.That was when Elliot replied with [patience].Avery was surprised at how great Elliot was with calming his friends down.Avery opened another conversation and saw Jun complaining about Tammy not returning home until late at night; he said that Tammy did not care about their child or him and that he could not stand this any longer, to which Elliot replied with [calm down]."Have you guys ever talked about me in the group?" Avery asked Mike with a smile on her face."I guess so! I don't check the group that often. I only open it whenever money is involved," he said.Avery keyed in her name in the search bar and as expected, they had talked about her before. She read through everything carefully and though the others had
