"I built her a house back in her hometown and gave her an allowance every month."
"Okay." Avery could not help but glance at him. "Elliot, I lived in Bridgedale before, so of course, I know about Dream Maker and their products. I can buy whatever I want myself, but thank you for the car."
"Can you tell me how you got that silvery-pink car now?" Elliot had already guessed from what she said that she was not the one who purchased the car.
"You already know the answer to that question, don't you?" she said. "Someone else got it for me. Do you want to know who it was?"
The look in Elliot's eyes grew colder, but he refrained from asking, knowing that Avery would not tell him even if he did.
"I've done something unnecessary, then." Sensing the irony in all of it, he said, "You don't have enough parking space here, do you?"
"Why, do you want your car back?" Her heart sank at the defeated look on his face. She had not expected to receive two cars at her doorstep at the same time. It almost felt as though she had been caught cheating when that wasn't even close to the truth.
"I don't take back my gifts.” He clenched his fists, anger filling his expression.
He gave it some thought and realized that whoever bought Avery the custom-made car was no ordinary man. The staff had declined to fulfill Elliot's request. Therefore the person who had bought Avery the car must be someone in the company, or someone more powerful than Elliot.
Everyone knew that Avery had finished her doctorate in the past two years, but it seemed as though they had all underestimated her.
Avery watched as he stormed off and scowled.
She noticed that he was furious because someone else had bought her a custom-made car, but why?
