Thinking of what had happened last night, Jean blushed red as a cranberry. She touched her forehead where Zed had kissed her and felt as if it was still wet and warm.
Suddenly, her heart gave a thump and she was thrown out of her musings. She got up hurriedly and went into the washroom.
She was wondering whether Avery and Moore were awake or not.
'They are probably still asleep. After all, they hadn't gone to bed until the wee hours of the morning, '
Jean thought as she freshened herself up in the bathroom.
Anyway, no one was working harder than Zed these days for her. He went to bed very late last night, but had gotten up so early today for his work.
All because he had to take good care of his big company. In people's eyes, he was a successful and glamorous man but only she knew just how hard he was working everyday behind that success.
Jean sighed. Then she took out a white cotton suit from her wardrobe and got dressed before going out.
When she was just at the top of the stairs, she saw Moore and Avery come out of the guest room. More importantly, it looked like they were coming out of Avery's bedroom together.
Totally amazed, Jean looked at them and asked, "You... Why are you two coming out together?"
"Jean, don't take this the wrong way." The expression on Jean's face made Avery's s cheeks blush. She hurriedly explained, "I forgot my cell phone charger. I was afraid that my phone had stopped functioning so I asked Moore to check it out for me. It turned out that my cell phone was dead."
After saying that, Avery felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had made a stupid mistake.
"You don't have to explain it to me." Jean nodded with joy in her heart.
Her cell phone had died? Well, that was really a good and suitable excuse for Avery, the super star.
After all, her assistants were the ones who took care of her daily life, so she didn't have to worry about trivial things like her charger.
Jean thought of yet another excuse to make the two of them spend time together.
She opened her mouth with a smile on her face, "I think you must be hungry now. Let's go downstairs and eat something. It's long time for breakfast."
"I've just woken up and don't want to eat right now. Don't wait for me. You two can go down and eat something first." Without saying anything more, Moore directly walked toward his room.
"What's wrong with him?" Confused, Jean looked at Avery and asked.
Avery shrugged and threw up her hands. "I have no idea. I too felt that he was quite silent this morning. The Moore who had spoken up for me last night has disappeared again."
"Then let's forget about him now." Upon hearing Avery's words, Jean took her hand and replied, "Let's go and have some breakfast. He will come down once he is hungry."
"Really?" Avery worriedly turned around to take a look at Moore's room.
"Yeah, it's okay," Jean assured. Then she held Avery's hand and slowly walked downstairs.
"How is your foot now? Do you need any help climbing down?" Seeing that Jean was walking with a slight difficulty, Avery hastily asked.
A startling thought had just occurred to Jean. She looked at Avery and asked, "Do you want Moore to eat with us?"
"Of course." Upon hearing what Jean had said just now, Avery nodded and replied, "To be honest, I remember that Moore is a very cold and distant man. You know, like, someone I can't relate to. Hence, when I heard him ask Adolf to give me some time so that I could rest, I was so happy."
"Don't be sad. There are three days ahead of us and I'll do my best to make him spend time with you," Jean said with a smile on her face, trying to make Avery feel better.
"Jean, are you serious?" Avery asked in surprise, looking at Jean.
"Yeah." Jean nodded at her. Then she whispered with Avery.
Avery's eyes shone up and she looked at Jean grateful for her help.
Jean nodded at her in return. Then she stood against the wall, looking at Avery with a smile on her face.
Avery also smiled. She turned around and quickly ran towards Moore's bedroom.
Moore went onto the balcony. Looking at the yard, which was bathed in the sun, he felt very upset.
So many years passed, he thought Avery didn't have any feelings of love for him anymore.
