Serena was dog-tired after the conference.
"How could those stars survive so many cameras and paparazzi every day?" She asked Avery, pressing herself against his chest.
"Perhaps that's why they wear sunglasses all the time."
"I thought it is intended to look cool."
"Partly, and to protect the eyes from the flash. You're tired?" Avery cuddled her closer.
"Mm, exhausted. The journalists. They are so inquisitive."
Avery chuckled and gently brushed her nose. "We still have a lot in our hands, but we'll attend to them tomorrow."
"Good idea but tarrying won't do us any good. The bidding will start tomorrow."
She sighed and then continued, "Would you go to the M group with me later? I have some work to do."
"Of course."
He would say yes to any of her requests.
"By the way, I saw Amy just now. She looked pale."
Serena didn't mention what Amy had done.
But Avery had heard of it from Nisse and didn't intend to let Amy get away with it.
His face darkened. "Perhaps it doesn't feel good to lose."
"She will leave the company after the bidding. Will you feel upset about her leaving? She's capable."
Avery's brows furrowed and made a sound of disgust.
"Serena, I abominate her than anyone else. I'm very happy that she's leaving."
"Avery, you..." Serena saw the revulsion on his face.
"Silly, I know what she did. How long are you going to keep it from me? You should have told me as soon as you knew it."
"Avery, I can defend myself and she can't harm me. I don't want you to deem me gossipy."
"I don't want us to be bothered with someone else when we're together."
"Still, you will not do such things again," Avery demanded.
"What are you going to do with her?" Serena asked. Avery could become brutal when the line was crossed.
"Just leave it to me. I'll see to it that she pays her price," he answered grimly.
"Okay. I want to eat steak tonight." Serena changed the subject.
"Then I'll take a reservation."
"No, you make it for me," Serena said as she wrapped her arms around Avery's neck like a spoiled child.
Avery gently kissed her. "Okay, we'll get off work early and go to the supermarket to buy ingredients."
They were just a normal couple, despite their high positions in the company.
