"Have some water, Elliot!" Zoe said as she placed his head higher on the pillow and brought him the bottle of water, "You must be feeling lousy. Here, drink and you will feel better."
Back at the banquet hall, Avery felt a lot sober. But it felt worse than being drunk. She knew she can no longer be entangled with Elliot anymore. Nothing good will come out of this.
"Zoe was such a snob!" Tammy walked to Avery and comforted her, "Don't bother with her words. She should look into a mirror herself."
Avery carried her purse and prepared to leave as she said, "I'm only mad at myself."
"You didn’t do anything wrong," Tammy said.
"I'm being ridiculous," Avery muttered to herself, "I still think we could be together one day... Tammy, please give me a good scolding if I still see him in the future!"
Tammy nodded, as she wanted the best for her friend. "I'll get you home!" Tammy held her up and said, "Don't worry about the rest of them, Jun will make the necessary arrangements.”
They went down on the elevator. Avery spotted Elliot's car. "Oh dear, look at you! You can't even let go of the sight of his car," Tammy turned over and mocked
Avery, "I heard that Zoe got a room in the hotel. Elliot was too drunk tonight, nothing will happen between them tonight,” she added.
"Was the added imagination necessary?" Avery asked.
"Tighten your seatbelts now!" Tammy teased her and then continued, "Get some sleep tonight. Avery, you deserve better."
Avery felt touched. Her phone rang as she was about to say something. It was Mrs. Cooper calling. Avery felt weirded but she answered it anyway, and before Mrs. Cooper could say anything, she heard a loud cry.
It was Shea crying on the other end of the phone. Tammy was about to start the car engine when she heard the crying sound from the phone.
