His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 954

"About what? Can't we talk now?" Avery asked. Her conscience was clear.

Their misunderstanding had been resolved and all he wanted to talk about was to ask her for another chance.

She politely refused the last time, but she still could not bring herself to agree at the present.

It was not so much that she hated him, but more so that she did not feel as though she had calmed down sufficiently.

Moreover, the current relationship between the two of them-where they respected each other and were neither too cordial nor too distant—was actually pretty good.

"If we talk now, we won't be able to reach a conclusion." He could already guess what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

"Do you think you’ll be able to get to a conclusion after you come back from a business trip?" Avery found it incredulous." How long is your business trip?"

"A week."

"Oh, then we'll talk about it in a week!" She lowered her eyes and glanced at his hand holding her arm. "You didn't wash your hands after you were done playing poker, right?"

She viewed his hands with disgust.

He was stunned for a moment, but then led her to the restroom. "Let's wash our hands together then!"

The two of them walked through the banquet hall in full view.

"Didn't you notice that their relationship has warmed up a lot today?" Mike asked Eric.

Eric had a disinterested look on his handsome face. "I didn't notice anything. It's obvious that Avery is being forced to do it."

Mike retorted, "Do you think she'd let another man do that to her?"

Eric raised his chin slightly. "I don't fancy their chances. Elliot might look like a man right now, but he won't be able to do that anymore in a couple of years."

Mike gasped, "Why not? Do you write a man off just because they're old? What do you mean he 'might look like a man now', it's not like he'll transform into a woman in two years, will he? I don’t suppose Avery knows about your sharp tongue?"

Eric looked at him cordially and explained, "I don't look down on old men because I'll grow old one day too. What I look down on is old cows like Elliot who insist on eating young shoots."

Mike smiled >e$>WJR< patted his shoulder, "Don’t be so salty. If Elliot really can't function after two years, Avery might just find a way to treat him instead of abandoning him. Have you forgotten what's her profession?"
