"Elliot pulled him away." Mike pointed her in the direction the men had gone. 1
Avery turned to see Elliot and Wesley at a table by themselves with the bodyguards standing next to them. There was a bottle on the table, and it appeared that they intended on drinking.
Avery scowled.
Wesley did not drink very often and his alcohol tolerance was not at all great.
"Two amateurs! Let's see who goes down first," Mike teased.
Avery suddenly remembered that Elliot could not drink as well.
"Avery, it's a contest between the two men. Just let them drink!" said Mike, tapping her on her shoulder.
She looked up and shoved his handsome face away. " This is all your fault!"
"I will never get fooled by Chad again! Next time I will ask him to join us instead!" Mike swore.
"There won't be a next time!" Avery walked toward Tammy.
Tammy raised her middle finger at Mike.
It had been a while since Avery had been in contact
with Elliot or seen him, and because of Mike, they had met tonight. Seeing him only added to her headache and reluctance to cut all ties with him.
"Avery, congratulations on getting that money." Tammy took a glass of juice and passed it to Avery. " Doesn't matter if you can actually get it back or not, at least you have fulfilled your dad's wishes."
Avery nodded. "Yeah, I intend on going to the cemetery to visit my dad tomorrow."
"Sure! You should take the two kids with you... If your dad was still alive, he would have been overjoyed."
