Chapter 275
Eric was born for the stage Whenever he was on stage, he could move the hearts of many without doing anything.
That evening, Avery drove We sley to the gathering venue Mike had told her about.
The two got out of the carwhen they arrived at the hotel.
“Wesley, everyone here to night is either a friend of mine or a friend of Mike’s, so don’t hold back,” said Avery with a smile.
“Weare mainly cele brating the fact that James go t arrested. It’s something that’s been on my mind for some time now.”
“I know. I heard you mention it before.” Wesley smiled while looking at her. “I can see that you are in an excepti onally good mood today.”
The two went to the event hall that Mike told her to go to. As soon as they entered the hall, the smile faded from Avery’s face.
“What the heck? Why are there so many strangers? Did we walk into the wrong place? But – I can see Mike’s golden hair from here,” she thought.
When Mike spotted Avery, he walked up to her.
“Avery, here you are!
Welcome, Wesley!”
Avery drag ged Mike outside and asked him what happened.
“Well… When I invited Chad, he said that they are having a company gathering tonight in a bigevent hall.
He said that we can just come join them… That way we can save the money for gathering, right?”
Mike’s eyes shone in a calculative manner.
Avery’s eyes filled with anger as she thought, “I’m in such a good mood, and he thinks that I want to skim ponfood?!” “Relax, Elliot usually doesn’t show up to gatherings for the Sterling Group,” Mike explained.”
Their company has a gathering every fort night, so he couldn’t possiblys how up every time. According to Chad, Elliot only shows his face during special occasions…
and tonight’s not an occasion, so he won’t be here! I swear it!”
Mike placed his hand on his chest and swore.
Just then, they heard the distinct sound of leather shoes hitting the floor. Avery looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elliot walking toward them. He was dressed in black.
Mike took a deep breath awkward breath and whisp ered, “What do we do?
The people I i nvited are already insid e… I can’t just ask them to get out.”
“… On getting three hundred million,” he added.
Avery lifted an eyebro w.
“Oh… Don’t you usually stay out of company gatherings?”
“I come when I want to.
Nothing is fixed,” he said casually, before teasing her, “Are you drinking tonight?”
“Idrink when I want to.
Noth i ng is fixed,” she retorted stubbornly.
Elliot pursed his lips and gave her a look, before looking away and stepping into the event hall.
Mike dragged Avery along and followed Elliot closely.
“Weare already here.
If we leave now, he is going to think that we are afraid of him!”
Mike tried to brainwash her by saying, “Not only are we going to eatmore, but we are also going to order a fewbottles of good wine!
He’s paying, anyway.”
Avery glared at him.
“Don’t yo uever feel embarrassed?”
Mike gave her a charming smile.
“Heis not my exhusband, so the only on e who would feel embarrassed would be you.”
Avery silently decided to never organize a gathering again.
Suddenly, she realized that Wesley was nowhere to be found and looked around. “Where is Wesle y?”
