The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 874

"If you want to say thanks, you could've just called or dropped a text, you know? No need for a house call. It's better for both of you to keep your distance for now."

Bonnie couldn't wait to get this chubby nuisance away from Avery, "If you're straight as an arrow, why the shifty behavior? We've done nothing wrong, so why do you prevent our meeting?"

Leah wasn't one for wasting words, "I'm not here to argue with you. Bottom line, you won't be seeing Avery until this whole hype blows over."

A hint of scorn flashed across Bonnie's face, "Leah, you're just his assistant, not his girlfriend. You don't have the right to make decisions for him."

Leah struggled to remain composed, refusing to stoop to her level, "My job is to keep those looking to latch onto fame and stir up buzz from bothering him."

Bonnie let out a derisive laugh. Leah’s intentions were as clear as day. She had long noticed Leah's crush on Avery, the epitome of unrequited love.

"Just a heads-up, you're not Avery's type. He doesn't go for the plump types. Back in school, a chubby girl confessed to him and he rejected her without a second thought. You'll always be just a sister to him."

Her words were like daggers to Leah and paled her face. Marianne wrapped an arm around Leah, "I don't know what my idol prefers, but a backstabber like you? Definitely not on his list."

Bonnie clenched her jaw, eager to erase that stain from her life.

"I left Avery because we will ruin each other. I did it for his well-being and I can do anything for him."

Marianne rolled her eyes dismissively, "Save your breath, nobody's buying it. Just stay away from now on, you're not welcome here."

Their idol was theirs, and no one else's.

Just then, Avery finished his night shoot and walked over from the set.

Upon seeing Bonnie, he paused.

Bonnie, spotting him, lit up like a torch, a flame that could skyrocket her to fame.

"Avery—" Paparazzi lurking nearby buzzed with excitement, with their cameras clicking away furiously.
