Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

Avery’s phone rang ten minutes later.

She answered it, hung up, sent Tammy a text, then rushed toward the hotel exit.

Jun watched Avery’s back as she quickly made her way out. He smiled.

How did she find the men to make a fool out of Elliot Foster behind his back?

Could she not just stay quietly by his side?

Where was she going to find a man who was better than Elliot Foster?

Jun had no idea what she was thinking.

Tammy’s brows furrowed as she replied: [What’s the rush? Is it that urgent?]

Avery: (Extremely urgent! I’ll see you again soon!)

The one who had called Avery was Elliot’s bodyguard.

He had instructed her to wait for him at the hotel entrance.

If she did not listen, he was going to break her legs.

Avery still suffered from the past traumatic experience with the bodyguard. He was a cruel man.

Although she knew that he was acting on Elliot’s orders, it was better to be safe than sorry.

A black car stopped on the street in front of her about fifteen minutes later.

The car window rolled down, revealing the bodyguard’s ominous face.

Avery got into the backseat, closed the door, and the car sped off.

“You know, Miss Tate,” said the bodyguard. “If Mr. Foster had a pet dog for a few months, it would know who its owner and family are. Why are you biting the hand that feeds you?”

“Are you saying I’m less than a dog?” Avery said with a frown.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” said the bodyguard in a tone filled with loathing. “After spending all of this time freeloading off Mr. Foster, what else have you done other than p*ss him off every day?”

“You think I want to be a freeloader? If you don’t like me that much, then why don’t you convince him to divorce me?” suggested Avery.

“You’re an idiot!” roared the bodyguard. “I don’t know what’s gotten into Mr. Foster. How could he fall in love with a stupid woman like you?”
