"Mr. Foster asked me to take you to the airport." Once the elevator doors opened, the bodyguard entered with Avery.
"I don't need you to take me there!"
"What are you raising your voice at me for? " snapped the bodyguard. "I'm just following my boss's orders and doing my job!"
As Avery looked at the dark expression on the bodyguard's face, she swallowed the words she wanted to say before they could escape her lips.
This entire thing was strange and absurd. She had a hunch that something was not right.
"Did he say anything else when he told you to take me to the airport?" she asked softly.
"First, wipe those tears away. Your crying is frustrating me."
Avery lifted her hand to wipe the tears off her face. "Is he being threatened?"
"I don't know. He just told me to take you to the airport as soon as possible."
Avery remained silent.
"From what I know about my boss, I'm guessing this place is most likely not safe anymore. He fought with you to protect you and get you to leave."
The bodyguard had thought that saying this would move Avery to stay and stand by Elliot’s side.
In the eyes of the bodyguard, Avery was a loving, righteous woman who was not afraid of death.
Otherwise, Elliot would not love her this much.
However, Avery simply stayed silent, lost in her thoughts.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" The bodyguard nudged her with his elbow. "Did you hear what I just told you? Show some kind of reaction, won't you?!"
Avery took a deep breath, then said," Should I continue to cry when I step out of the elevator?"
It was as if the woman who was crying her heart out just moments ago was a completely different person >c'
