Chapter 47
Elliot felt like a joke.
Why did Avery not want to be discovered by her friends?
Was it that embarrassing for her to be seen with him?
The recital began soon after, and Avery calmed down.
It was a good thing that Tammy did not see her!
She wondered where she was seated.
She wanted to turn and look around, but reason stopped her from acting rashly.
Tammy was at the recital with another friend and was seated in the fifth row.
“Who’s that on the first row? Three people taking up all those seats. What a waste!”
Tammy was complaining to her friend who was scrutinizing the row of nearly empty seats.
“Probably someone rich! We’re on the fifth row and the tickets cost over a hundred and fifty bucks, so I bet first row tickets are expensive! It looks like they reserved the whole row. You can tell right away that
that guy in the middle is super-rich. The woman next to him is either his daughter or his lover. The muscular guy on the other side is definitely his bodyguard.”
Tammy agreed with her friend’s analysis.
–
“That woman on the left looks a lot like my best friend!” Tammy said as she stared at the back of Avery’s head.
“What kind of best friend would I be otherwise? Of course, I know what her back looks like!”
The more Tammy looked at the woman, the more she thought she looked like Avery.
She pulled out her phone and sneakily took a photo.
“You can’t take pictures in the concert hall!” sigħed the friend. “You might as well go to the first row and check it out!”
“Forget it, the recital’s about to start anyway,” Tammy said as she sent the photo to Avery.
Avery felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
She pulled it out and saw Tammy’s text message.
Tammy: (Avery, doesn’t this woman look a lot like you?]
Avery’s heart almost burst out of her chest, and she unconsciously sank further into her seat.
Seeing her odd reaction, Elliot turned his head and looked behind him.
