Chapter 954
“About what? Can’t we talk now?” Avery asked. Her conscience was clear. Their misunderstanding had been
resolved and all he wanted to talk about was to ask her for another chance.
She politely refused the last time, but she still could not bring herself to agree at the present.
It was not so much that she hated him, but more so that she did not feel as though she had calmed down
sufficiently.
Moreover, the current relationship between the two of them-where they respected each other and were neither too
cordial nor too distant-was actually pretty good. “If we talk now, we won’t be able to reach a conclusion.” He could
already guess what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. “Do you think you’ll be able to get to a

“A week.” “Oh, then we’ll talk about it in a week!” She lowered her eyes and glanced at his hand holding her arm.
“You didn’t wash your hands after you were done playing poker, right?” She viewed his hands with disgust. He was
stunned for a moment, but then led her to the restroom. “Let’s wash our hands together then!” The two of them
walked through the banquet hall in full view. “Didn’t you notice that their relationship has warmed up a lot today?”
Mike asked Eric. Eric had a disinterested look on his handsome face. “I didn’t notice anything. It’s obvious that Avery
is being forced to do it.” Mike retorted, “Do you think she’d let another man do that to her?” Eric raised his chin
slightly. “I don’t fancy their chances. Elliot might look like a man right now, but he won’t be able to do that anymore
in a couple ofed years.”
Mike gasped, “Why not? Do you write a man off just because they’re old? What do you mean he ‘might look like a
man now’, it’s not like he’ll transform into a woman in two years, will he? I don’t suppose Avery knows about your
sharp tongue?”
Eric looked at him cordially and explained, “I don’t look down on old men because I’ll grow old one day too. What I
look down on is old cows like Elliot who insist on eating youngze shoots.”
Mike smiled and patted his shoulder, “Don’t be so salty. If Elliot really can’t function after two years, Avery might
just find a way to treat him instead of abandoning him. Have you forgotten what’s her profession?”.
Eric frowned at hisf2 answer.
Chad came over with a smile when he saw the two of them chatting secretly with each other.”
What are you two talking about!” Mike held back his laugh. “He said your boss won’t be able to get up anymore in
two4e years.” Being the men that they were, Chad understood Mike’s words in seconds. The smile on Chad’s face
suddenly turned cold. “I know you don’t like my boss, but you don’t need to curse him like that. Who do you think is
going to suffer if he can’t get up anymore? It’s Avery, of course! If you really want what’s good for her, you need to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpray for my boss. Bless him so his strength increases as he ages, and so he’ll always be able to stand4e tall!”
“Rather than pray for him, I’d much rather pray for myself so I’d get Avery sooner.” “I guess my boss was right,
after all. You’re98 stubborn.” “Your boss is like a frog who wants to kiss a princess.” Chad’s face became extremely
gloomy all of a sudden. Mike cleared his throat dryly and reminded, “That frog just hopped here.” Chad and Eric
looked to the side. They saw Elliot coming over with a refreshed look on his face.
His relationship with Avery seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds that day. “What are you guys talking
about?” he asked insipidly.
He did not expect to see varying degrees of embarrassment on all their faces as soon as he asked that question.
“Chad?” Elliot put the pressure on Chad. Chad immediately cleared his throat and said, “Eric said that it won’t be
long until you can’t get up anymore.” After a pause, he added, “He also called you a frog who wants to kiss the
princess.”
Elliot’s face soured at once.
The war of words was just about to begin when Avery walked over. “What are you guys talking about?”
