NovelEnglish"Why is she here?” asked Ruby.
Ruby of course saw how impeccable Avery was dressed and could feel her heart filled with envy.
Before seeing Avery in full makeup, Ruby had never felt that Avery could compete with her in the looks department.
But after seeing Avery today, Ruby could not help but feel that she seems like a little girl next to the elegance and maturity that Avery exudes so effortlessly.
Ruby was of course unhappy with this.
Elliot did not reply to Ruby, all of his attention was on Avery.
"Ruby, happy birthday. This is Nick's gift," said Avery as she handed the present in hand to Ruby.

"Yes, Nick told me to come in his place,” replied Avery.
"Why do you know Nick and why did he ask you to come in his place?” questioned Ruby as she passed the present to one of the workers that were standing by beside her.
"This is a long story, are you sure that you have the time now to listen to me to tell you about it?" asked Avery.
Even when Avery was talking to Ruby, she is actually secretly observing Elliot in the corner of her eye.
Avery noticed that Elliot is staring at her.
Elliot is staring at her in the public. 'Did I finally succeed in getting his attention? Could it be that the bodyguards plan worked" thought Avery.
Ruby, of course, noticed that Elliot is staring at Avery. She panicked and said, "I don't care why you know him. If you are here in his place, | have to respect his wishes, you can wait for the party to start at the ballroom!" The party was of course held in the interiors of the yacht.
However, most of the guests were enjoying the sunny weather on the deck of the yacht.
Avery was here for Elliot, that is why she stayed on the deck.
Avery walked to the bow of the yacht and started to admire the scenery, she would occasionally sneak a peek or two at Elliot.

Elliot and Ruby joined Gary as the party starts.
Gary was quick to get drunk, it was a happy day after all.
After Gary got drunk :h+;PNU? was escorted to the lower decks to rest, Elliot was quick to replace Gary and started to socialize with the guests.

Avery could see that Ruby actually likes Elliot and she believes that under normal circumstances Elliot might even be able to live a fulfilling life here.
However, Avery knew that Christopher wasn't going to let Elliot get away with being happy.
Avery could not help but felt alarmed when the thought of Christopher crossed her mind, she tried to see where he was the moment she got on the yacht, but she couldn't see him anyway.
'He is Ruby's brother, shouldn't he be here for his sister's birthday? Where is he?" thoughts raced across Avery's mind.
Avery suddenly felt that if Christopher were to be up to no good here, Elliot might not have any idea and would be caught off guard, As such, Avery started to look harder for where Christopher might be.
Elliot could not help but noticed a red silhouette moving around in the corner of his eyes.
Elliot noticed that Avery seemed to be looking for somebody.
Elliot could not help but wonder, "Who is Avery looking for, does he know anybody else on this yacht?’ After looking on the top deck, Avery still could not find Christopher, she decides to go down into the lower decks and perhaps the ballroom to see if there was any sign of Christopher Gould.
"Elliot, Gary was just complimenting you, he said that with you by his side, he would finally be able to retire," said one of the guests.
