"Why is she here?” asked Ruby.
Ruby of course saw how impeccable Avery was dressed and could feel her heart filled with envy.
Before seeing Avery in full makeup, Ruby had never felt that Avery could compete with her in the looks department.
But after seeing Avery today, Ruby could not help but feel that she seems like a little girl next to the elegance and maturity that Avery exudes so effortlessly.
Ruby was of course unhappy with this.
Elliot did not reply to Ruby, all of his attention was on Avery.
"Ruby, happy birthday. This is Nick's gift," said Avery as she handed the present in
hand to Ruby.
"Nick? Nick told you to come?" asked Ruby as she took the present from Avery.
"Yes, Nick told me to come in his place,” replied Avery.
"Why do you know Nick and why did he ask you to come in his place?” questioned Ruby as she passed the present to one of the workers that were standing by beside her.
"This is a long story, are you sure that you have the time now to listen to me to tell you about it?" asked Avery.
Even when Avery was talking to Ruby, she is actually secretly observing Elliot in the corner of her eye.
Avery noticed that Elliot is staring at her.
Elliot is staring at her in the public. 'Did I finally succeed in getting his attention? Could it be that the bodyguard's plan worked' thought Avery.
Ruby, of course, noticed that Elliot is staring at Avery. She panicked and said, "I don't care why you know him. If you are here in his place, I have to respect his wishes, you can wait for the party to start at the ballroom!"
The party was of course held in the interiors of the yacht.
However, most of the guests were enjoying the sunny weather on the deck of the yacht.
