"It's our date, why would I bring him along?" Tammy poured a glass of wine and handed it to her. "What did you do last night? You have really bad dark circles under your eyes."
Avery raised her glass and took a sip, "I stayed up late last night watching dramas!"
"You wish I believe that. Fess up, you have the fakest forced smile plastered across your face," Tammy said.¹ Are you still into Elliot, and that is why you couldn't sleep?"
Avery almost spat out her wine. "Tammy, do I look so gullible?"
Tammy nodded vigorously, "Although you make a lot of money, you're still really gullible."
Ben was pouring Elliot a glass of wine at their table in the corner of the restaurant.
This was the only high-class restaurant closest to the hospital.
"Elliot, I won't ask about you and Shea. I asked you out to have a drink with you," Ben said. "By the way, is Dr. Sanford that serves you really that good?"
Elliot took the wine glass and took a sip, "She performed the operation on Shea, but she's not awake yet."
"Oh... If it works, how much are you going to give her?" Ben raised his brows, and his eyes were filled with curiosity.
"I'll see how much she wants."
"What if she doesn't want money but you?" Ben said. " Avery can't accept that your heart belongs to Shea, but some women don't care about that. For example, Chelsea. If Dr. Sanford doesn't care either and wants to date you, what are you going to do?" 1
Elliot glanced at Ben, "She lives and works abroad. She only came here for a short time on vacation."
"If you're willing to marry her, she can completely give up living and working abroad," Ben said. "You're too attractive to women."
"Dr. Sanford is not such a person," Elliot said firmly.
Ben nodded and did not mention Zoe Sanford again.
"Elliot, look at that table in front. Isn't that Tammy?" Ben pointed in a direction. "That woman sitting opposite Tammy looks like Avery, or at least from the back it looks like it could be her."
Ben squinted his eyes. He stood up once he was done speaking and walked over to the table.
Elliot looked in the direction that he was heading.
It was indeed, Avery.
