NovelEnglishThere were a dozen resumes.
They were all applying for the position of Elliot's assistant.
Avery casually opened one of the resumes to have a look. The candidate's education and work experience were excellent.
If this person were to hand in their resto her, they would undoubtedly be able to continue straight to the interview.
She opened another resume. After going through it, her feelings were the sas when she had looked through the first one.
This candidate was as exceptional a lady as the first. If she wanted to be Avery's assistant, Avery would have barely had a reason
to refuse.
Avery guessed that the rest of the dozen resumes were also excellent. If they were not, Elliot would not have sent them to her.
She was suddenly in a situation where she did not know whom to pick.
She let her mind go blank for a while, then realized that she still could not sleep. She unlocked her phone and continued looking at
the resumes.

After going through the dozen resumes, her eyes were feeling a little sore. She rubbed them. Her eyes were dry and itchy.
She placed her phone down and planned to go wash her face before she went looking for the eyedrops in the study room.
When she went to the bathroom, Elliot woke up.
He opened his eyes and, through the dim light, found her.
"Avery, what happened? Are you feeling unwell?" Elliot groggily sat up. He supported his body with his arms.
"No, | was looking at the phone for too long. My eyes are a little itchy. I'm going to go get eye drops. Go back to sleep!" Avery
switched off the bathroom light and walked over to him.
Elliot was afraid that she could not see clearly. He immediately switched on the lights by the side of the bed.
"Avery, did you not sleep at all?" Elliot looked at the time. It was already past midnight.
"I couldn't sleep, so | was looking at the resumes you sent me. All these people are excellent! They want to be your assistant. |
doubt they would be willing to work for me!" Avery raised her concerns.
"If their salary is sufficient, it shouldn't be a problem. Choose first. Then go talk to them," Elliot said. "Did you lose sleep because of
this?"
"I'll go get eye drops first, then I'll tell you later. That is, if you're sure you're not going to sleep and want to talk to me," Avery said
before walking out of the bedroom.
Five minutes later, Avery had applied the eye drops and returned to the bedroom.
Elliot looked much more awake than he had before.
He was propped against the headrest of the bed, looking at his phone. Seeing her enter the bedroom, he put his phone down.
"Honey, why don't we sleep? It's quite late! We have work tomorrow!" Avery yawned. "We don't have to rush the hiring process.
The human resources department on my side is also helpingmake a selection."
"Hmm... You didn't have a nap this afternoon, right? Why can't you sleep?" Elliot switched off the lights once she got in bed.
"|—" Just as she was about to say something, she stopped.

She did not need to tell Elliot about the problem of Layla and Eric's relationship because Eric would not do anything to Layla.
If she were to tell Elliot about this, he would surely blow things out of proportion. He might even stop Layla from hanging out with
Eric in the future.
Layla would be furious, and it would definitely affect her studies.
Avery also did not want to see Elliot and Eric have a falling out. It would be hard for her to be stuck in the middle as well.
"Maybe my period is coming soon," Avery said, hurriedly coming up with an excuse. "My stomach is cramping."
Elliot immediately walked over to her side when he heard that. "Do you want to drink shot water? I'll go get sfor you."
"No need. If | drink water now, I'm afraid that I'll have to get up in the middle of the night." Avery reached her arm out and hugged
him around his waist.
"Then, I'll give you a massage." He placed his huge palm on her abdomen, gently rubbing it.
Avery's abdomen was, in fact, doing just fine. However, Elliot's massaging had a hypnotizing effect.
Soon, she fell asleep.
