Elliot opened up the bag and found the shirt and cash inside.
"Swoop-" he smacked the bag and it fell to the ground.
"Get rid of it!" exclaimed Elliot coldly.
"Yes alright," said Chad as he picked it up and walked out the door.
At the mall streets, Mike threw on multiple pieces of clothing to Avery for her to try on.
"You got to try it on before you know if it fits," said Mike as he pushed her into the fitting room.
"You've such a good boyfriend, Miss. It’s rare to have an attentive man!" The salesperson grinned as she said to Avery, "Do you need my assistance?"
Avery shook her head vigorously, "I can manage."
Mike and Avery spun around the whole stretch of mall street for that entire noon. The back of the car was filled with shopping bags.
He bought clothes not only for Avery but also for Hayden, Layla, Laura, and himself.
This might be the last time Avery would agree to go shopping with Mike. Avery was famished at this point. They sat down at a random restaurant and she planned to head home right after.
"Hurry up and eat, Avery, I'll bring you to a hair salon next," said Mike.
"But I’m all drained up!" exclaimed Avery.
"You can just sit and relax at the salon. How are you going to look for your next love with that look of yours?” Mike said as he scrolled through his phone for a photo, "Look at this man from Edelweiss. Rich, tall, and handsome, so much better than that dirtbag Elliot. This man should be your standard from now on."
Avery was dumbfounded.
