"It's better you don't go. Shea is there as well, and with those two there guarding him, you are definitely going to feel provoked," Tammy said. "Elliot’s isn't all that mentally stable. I had thought that maybe his company had run into trouble, but Jun said nothing has happened. I was thinking that it has something to do with you?"
Avery walked back to her office chair and sat down." You've overestimated me, Tammy. He didn't break down when I divorced him, so I don't think that I matter that much."
"Then why is he acting so oddly? It can't be because of Zoe, right?" Tammy muttered in confusion. "I heard that she has been visiting the old Foster mansion frequently lately. That woman is too good at scheming!"
The more she heard about Elliot and Zoe, the more composed Avery found herself becoming. Perhaps, she might be able to maintain her calm if they were to get married one day.
Elliot and her were two parallel lines running in the same direction but never crossing, and they would only move further and further apart in the future. 1
"Tammy, how are things between you and Jun?" Avery changed the subject.
"Same old, same old! He decides to keep trying until the end of the year, and if my parents aren't satisfied by then, he will go home and carry on the family business next year," Tammy sighed. "Not everyone has Elliot's mind for business. Maybe both Jun and I are destined to take over our family businesses." 1
"You really are a spiritual high-born." 1
"As if I can be in front of you," Tammy chuckled and said, "Avery, I'm actually quite glad that you are not going to visit Elliot in the hospital."
Avery pretended not to be concerned. "It's not like he is terminally ill."
"Will you go see him if he is?"
"If he is, then out of humanitarianism, I have to pay him a visit before he dies."
Tammy laughed. "It's going to be his birthday soon; will you attend the party if he invites you?"
"No."
"Oh, well, he doesn't plan on celebrating anyway. He never does."
"Then why are you asking me?"
"Just checking to see how determined you are!" Tammy acknowledged Avery's resolve and said, "Now I'm no longer worried."
After hanging up, Avery hesitated for a while, before finally calling Mrs. Cooper.
