She opened her eyes and saw Mike's face. What happened last night suddenly came to mind.
"Avery, it's almost nine o'clock. Why are you still sleeping?" Mike walked to the window and opened the curtains, "I bought you breakfast."
"How could you walk into my room without knocking on the door?" Avery got out of bed immediately and walked toward the closet.
"I was afraid that something had happened to you because you are usually not this late. " Mike sat by the window, and his eyes fell on her. "Actually, I didn't want to disturb you, but Chad wanted me to find out what was going on."
Avery went to the bathroom to change her
clothes, washed her face, and came out.
"How much alcohol did you drink last night?" She looked at him coldly.
"I didn't drink much, just... a bottle!" Mike felt guilty when she looked at him. "What's the matter? Do I still smell of alcohol? I took a shower."
He smelled his clothes, muttering, "I don't smell anything!"
"Did you tell Chad last night that I was poor? Elliot sent me a message last night and wanted to pay me alimony!" Avery exhaled. "Why did you say that?"
Mike was stunned for a moment. "Did I? Let me think about it! " After a pause, he slapped his head sharply, "I remember now. I didn't mean to say that on purpose. It was Chad who was particularly concerned about your career development.
I was annoyed by him, so I made it up." "Why does he pay so much attention to me? " Avery didn't feel so annoyed now.
"That's how he is. He likes to worry about everything. He said that he feared you would feel uncomfortable if you saw the building of Tate Industries." Mike asked her, "Do you?"
"Yes.” Avery replied, "I don't care how they are developing in Bridgedale, but when I returned to Aryadelle and saw the familiar headquarters building of Tate Industries, I felt bad."
Mike was speechless.
