Elliot noticed and mirrored her motions.
Half an hour later, he placed all the unshelled pistachios into a bowl and pushed it towards Avery.
Avery took one glance and said, "I don't want it."
"Then I won't continue."
Avery passed the bowl to Tammy and Tammy's expression instantly transformed into a face that looked worse than crying." Your man gave that to you, so I'm not going to be the third wheel here! Besides, it's bad to eat too many nuts!"
Avery immediately took the bowl back.
"I'm fine with ruining my health, give it to me!" Mike snatched the bowl from Avery and said cheerfully to Elliot, "I guess a successful man is just good at everything. You are definitely going to win if there's a competition for deshelling nuts."
Avery noticed that Elliot's expression had darkened from the corner of her eyes. She took a deep breath and took the bowl back from Mike.

Chad kicked at Mike.
"Why are you kicking at me? Elliot knows to deshell pistachios for the person he likes; you are his assistant, can't you learn from him?" Mike grabbed a handful of pistachios to place them before Chad and lifted an eyebrow. "Start right now!"
"You do it, or you are walking home later!" Chad said.
Mike took a deep breath and set his phone down, before starting to deshell the pistachios he grabbed.

"Avery, what did Tammy say to you?" Mike asked.
"She said she is going to the washroom."
At half-past eleven, the bride
