“Have some water, Elliot!” Zoe said as she placed his head higher on the pillow and brought him the
bottle of water, “You must be feeling lousy. Here, drink and you will feel better.”
Back at the banquet hall, Avery felt a lot sober. But it felt worse than being drunk. She knew she can no
longer be entangled with Elliot anymore. Nothing good will come out of this.
“Zoe was such a snob!” Tammy walked to Avery and comforted her, “Don‘t bother with her words. She
should look into a mirror herself.”
Avery carried her purse and prepared to leave as she said, “I’m only mad at myself.”
“You didn‘t do anything wrong,” Tammy said.
“I‘m being ridiculous,” Avery muttered to herself, “I still think we could be together one day… Tammy,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtplease give me a good scolding if I still see him in the future!”
Tammy nodded, as she wanted the best for her friend. “I‘ll get you home!” Tammy held her up and said,
“Don‘t worry about the rest of them, Jun will make the necessary arrangements.”
They went down on the elevator. Avery spotted Elliot‘s car. “Oh dear, look at you! You can‘t even let go
of the sight of his car,” Tammy turned over and mocked Avery, “I heard that Zoe got a room in the hotel.
Elliot was too drunk tonight, nothing will happen between them tonight,” she added.
“Was the added imagination necessary?” Avery asked.
“Tighten your seatbelts now!” Tammy teased her and then continued, “Get some sleep tonight. Avery,
you deserve better.”
Avery felt touched. Her phone rang as she was about to say something. It was Mrs. Cooper calling.
Avery felt weirded but she answered it anyway, and before Mrs. Cooper could say anything, she heard
a loud cry.
It was Shea crying on the other end of the phone. Tammy was about to start the car engine when she
heard the crying sound from the phone.
“Avery, I can‘t get through Master Elliot. I had no choice but to call you… Shea kept crying for Master
Elliot as she missed him all day. She wouldn’t calm down. Is Master Elliot there at your party? Can you
pass on the message to him?” Mrs. Cooper sounded anxious.
Just as Avery swears off seeing Elliot forever.
“Tell her you can’t,” Tammy reminded Avery.
She couldn’t form the words out of her mouth even when she wanted to. The crying sound was
painful to the ears
“I‘ll go get him,” Avery hung up as soon as she reassured Mrs. Cooper.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTammy was about to lecture Avery. “I‘ll go back by myself later, go home and get some rest, Tam,”
Avery said as she’s fully sobered up now, though her eyes were red and voice hoarse, “I know what I‘m
doing.”
She got down and closed the door behind her.
Tammy thought of what Jun said as she watched Avery walk back into the hotel. Either they get back
together, or they will be enemies for life.
Avery checked with the receptionist for Zoe’s room number.
It was Room V906.
Avery took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. There was no answer.
She tried again, no response.
As she was leaving, the door opened ajar. Elliot appeared with his shirt all buttoned wrong, his chest
flushed red from the overconsumption of alcohol. His brows furrowed due to the migraine in his head.
He grabbed Avery into his arms as his red eyes set sight on that familiar face.
