Avery knew that Elliot and Eric had a bad relationship, so she found it rather strange to see them standing together.
"Nothing to talk about," Elliot looked at Eric coldly and answered Avery. "Eric is worried about your bedroom life, so he reminded me to exercise a little more."
"Don’t you guys have anything better to talk about?!" Avery's cheeks turned red and she walked away angrily.
Eric lost his cool when he saw Avery getting angry. "How shameless can you be, Elliot!"

Avery frowned and remarked resentfully," You guys have crossed the line." "I swear, that had nothing to do with me or Elliot. Eric was the one who started it," Mike explained, "It's because he can't win your heart that he's against Elliot. Of course, you don't have to blame him. After all, he's young
