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 sjuice?" 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.

Survive your probation and it should get easier." "I'm doing alright. President Tate is extremely nice toand the others at the office take care ofas well." "Great. I heard that your family runs a business selling tea leaves," Mike said. "Any tea you would recommend?" Avery glanced at Mike. "Why are you asking about this? Are you buying tea from Juliet's family?" "Ben loves tea, right? His wedding is coming up, and I haven't decided what to get him!" Mike took a sip of juice. "Tea sounds nice, right?" "My family only sells tea leaves in Ylore and ssmaller countries around the area," Juliet said sheepishly. "Even if I ask my mom to send sover right now, the delivery would take up a lot of time."

"President Tate, I will ask my mom to send sof their tea over, and will make sfor you to try. It's hard to tell the difference between different types of tea if they are all of higher quality, actually, because everyone has their own preference." "That's true. I just didn't want to trouble your mom over this," Avery said sheepishly.
"It's not a problem at all. My mom would do anything for me." After lunch, Juliet returned to the office, while Avery sent Mike home.
"Your new assistant isn't bad. She looks sharp," Mike said while driving. "Yeah." "If her family is rich and her mom loves her so much, why would they let her work outside?" Mike asked.
"She's probably here for her boyfriend, right?" Św"She doesn't have a boyfriend! What makes you say that?" "She doesn't?! What about the hickey on her neck, then?" Mike giggled. "She has to have a boyfriend!" "I asked her about it in the morning, and she said it's a mosquito bite." "Avery, how can you be so naive? How can that be a mosquito bite? Trust me, that's her boyfriend's bite!" Mike yelled.
