Elliot opened up the bagand found the shirt and cash inside.
“Swoop” he smacked the bagand it fell to the ground.
“Get ridof it!
“exclaimed Elliot coldly.
“Yes alright,” said Chad as he picked it up an d walked out the door.
At the mall streets, Mike threw on multiple pieces of clothin g to Avery for her to try on.
“You got to try it on before you know if it fits,” said Mike as he pushed her into the fitting room.
“You’ve such a good boyfriend, Miss.
It’s rare to have an attentive man!” The salesperson grinned as she said to Avery, “Do you need my assistance?”
Avery shook her head vigorously, “Ican manage.”
Mike and Avery spun a round the whole stretch of mall stre et for that entire noon. The back of the carwas filled with shopping bags.
He bought clothes not only for Avery but also for Hayden, Layla, Laura, and himself.
This might be the last time Avery would agree to go shopping with Mike. Avery was famished at this point.
They satdown at a random restaurant and she planned to he ad home right after.
“Hurry up and eat, Avery, I’ll bring you to a hair salon next,” said Mike.
“But I’m all drained up!”
exclaimed Avery.
“You can just sitand relax at the salon.
How are you going to look for your next love with that look of yours?”
Mike said as he scrolled through his phone for a photo, “Look at this manfrom Edelweiss.
Rich, tall, and handsome, so much better than that dirtbag Elliot.
This manshould be your standard from now on.”
Avery was dumbfounded.
She wasn’t feeling hungry anymore.
“Doyou think this manfrom Edelweiss will fall for me with me buying newclothes and changing my hairstyle?”
“Ofcourse not.
You have to go there if you want an opportunity to woohim,” Mike was adamant about it, “Wewill work towards the goal, baby steps.”
Avery putdown her utensils and wiped offher mouth with a serviette.
“Are you all done?
To the salon!”
Mike dragged Avery to the next stop as soon as he paid the bill.
It was Avery’s birthday party that Saturday.
She had it in a five-star hotel located in the city.
Laura stayed home with the kids as they weren’t too keen on joining a crowded event.
Mike arrived at the hotel together with Avery at four in the afternoon.
Some of the guests have already arrived.
Avery lether hair down with her natural waves. She wore a v-neck cream-colored dress, and the hems were in brow nombre, and it was filled with sparkly sequins.
She looked as if she had an entire galaxy of stars shining on her.
The guests all looked in her direction as she walked in.
Benand Chad walked towards Avery and greeted her, “Happy Birthday, Miss Tate,” Ben said as he passed a gift to her, and praised her earnestly, “You look beautiful today.”
Chad passed over his gift as well and said, “Myboss can’t come over today as he had something else planned for.”
Avery smiled and said, “Thank you for your gifts and wishes.”
As she said it, Mike yelled and Chad and gasped, “Ohshit!
Isn’t that your boss, Chad?”
Everyone in the hall looked at the entrance and there he was, Elliot, looking dashingly handsome at the entrance.
