Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Avery received a call from Fred at two in the afternoon.

“They want to meet us to discuss the purchase of the property, Avery. When will be a good time for you? Also, do you have proof of assets ready? The building is worth at least eighty million dollars at the current market price.”

Fred’s words took Avery by surprise.

“Didn’t Tate Tower sell for half that amount back then?”

“It did, but it’s prime real estate in a great location. With the rise in property prices in the past couple of years, of course, its price would increase.”

“I see. I’m busy today. Let’s meet them tomorrow!”

“Got it. I’ll arrange it with them now.”

Avery had promised to meet Tammy that afternoon.

The two best friends had kept in touch throughout the years.

They did not talk much, but their friendship remained strong.

Tammy walked into the restaurant she had agreed to meet Avery with a bouquet of red roses.

When the best friends spotted each other, they ran into each other’s arms.

“You took your time coming home, Avery! I was considering breaking up with you if you still didn’t come back!”

Avery and Tammy had met exactly twice in the last four years.

Tammy had been the one to visit Avery abroad both times.

Avery sniffed at the bouquet of roses, then said, “Flowers from my best friend really smell extra sweet.”

“I was going to pretend like I didn’t know you, but I couldn’t do it! How could you not come back to see me for four whole years?!” Tammy said as she sat Avery down next to her. “You won’t be leaving again after this, right?”

“Of course, I will… To travel, maybe.”

“Look at you joking around with me! Where are you staying right now?”

Tammy ordered a few dishes, then passed the menu to Avery, who glanced through it and passed it back to the waiter.
