Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 

Tammy was holding the menu. She glanced at Jun and said, “Your outfit was pretty tight, so I assumed you liked men. Of course, I’m not saying you can’t prefer men. I respect everyone’s sexual orientation.”

Jun almost choked on his water.

“You’ve greatly misunderstood, Miss Lynch. I’m straight. Very straight.”

“And I’m not as promiscuous as you think.”

“Alright! Let’s start over,” Jun said as he reached out his hand for a handshake.

In order to find out his true intentions for Avery, Tammy shook his hand.

Once they had ordered their food, the two of them talked about anything and everything.

An hour and some wine later, Jun’s defenses crumbled and he began to ramble.

“I have a friend who had a shotgun marriage. He has feelings for his wife, but he’s too scared to show it. When she had gotten into some trouble recently, he had me help her. The funniest thing is that his wife has no idea that I’m friends with her husband. The first time she met me, he had been furious. He didn’t think that she should have gone to meet a stranger… Isn’t that hilarious?”

Tammy was stunned, then said, “A friend of mine also suddenly told me she had a husband out of nowhere! She won’t even tell me who he is because she keeps wanting to get a divorce, but I don’t know if she’ll be able to get one.”

“I guess anything is possible nowadays,” Jun said.

“Exactly! One thing’s for sure, I’m never jumping into marriage,” said Tammy.

“Me, too,” responded Jun.

At this point, Tammy had decided that it was time to find out if Jun really had two hundred million in his bank account, and she executed her plan.

“Do you use a digital wallet or a credit card to buy stuff nowadays?” Tammy asked as she tried to behave as casually as possible.

“I use my phone because it’s more convenient,” Jun replied.

“Isn’t there a limit to that?”

“I rarely splurge on things. After all, it hasn’t been long since I graduated, I feel bad using too much of my parents’ money.”

Tammy nodded, then asked bluntly, “How much money do you have in your savings account?”

Jun was taken aback by her the personal nature of her question.

“Are you worried that I’m some penniless loser?” Jun asked, then answered honestly, “I only have under a hundred thousand in there.”

Tammy pursed her lips, then shook her head out of politeness.
