Eric probably felt that he had a responsibility to help Avery entertain the female guests, which is why he indulged their requests for photographs, autographs, and just general small talk.
He did not even have the time to take a sip of water.
"Why don't you call him over to have a bite! " Avery said to Mike.
"Don’t try to be funny. He won’t pay attention to me at all," Mike sighed, "He's too handsome, so it's no surprise that Elliot feels threatened."
"How do you know that Elliot feels threatened?" Avery failed to see how that was the case.
"Don't you think Elliot dressed up like a peacock today?" Mike teased, "I don't suppose he dressed up so handsomely for all these little kiddos?"
Avery could not help but laugh. "Stay here and take care of the little kids. I'll check on Robert."
"Bring him here if he's awake!" Mike said.
"Yeah. He hasn't been in a place with so many people yet! I wonder if he'll be scared. " Avery said, then she strode towards the exit of the banquet hall.
By the time she carried Robert and returned to the banquet hall, she met Jun and Tammy who had finally come.
"I'm sorry we were late, Avery," Jun said apologetically.
"You go on ahead!" Tammy let go of Jun's hand.
She wanted to have a private chat with Avery.
Jun understood and walked into the banquet hall.
"Did the two of you..." Avery could not bring herself to look any further when she looked at Tammy's face.
"Sigh! I drank some wine last night because I wanted to try and see whether I wouldn't be that scared when I was drunk, but..." Tammy shook her head.
"Was it that bad?" Avery frowned. "Don't worry, Tammy, it's normal to have that psychological barrier. I believe you will be able to overcome it slowly."
"It’s ridiculous now that I think about it! I don't know how he even thought about playing that song for me, but we had a good laugh when it started playing =e)
