Just then, a blue car stopped outside the yard, and shortly after, the bodyguard entered the living room to inform Elliot about it. "Mr. Foster, Ms. Jennings is here. She says she is here to look for Avery."
Avery immediately glanced outside the door.
She had not officially met Natalie, and it was unexpected that she would look for Avery at Elliot's house.
Without a word, Elliot strode outside and Avery followed closely behind, wanting to know why Natalie wanted to speak to her.
Natalie held a jewelry box in her hand, and the moment Avery spotted the box, she came to realize why Natalie had come.
"Elliot, Miss Tate." Natalie watched as the two stepped out of the house together and was filled with envy at how compatible they looked.
"Natalie, I thought I'd been clear with you on the phone." Elliot scowled. He sounded annoyed. "Don't come to my place again. We have nothing else to talk about apart from work."
Elliot's tone was hardly polite, and if those words were directed at Avery, she would have turned heels and left without hesitation, but Natalie did not.
Natalie remained, unwavering; a sign of how strong she was under pressure. "Elliot, I'm not here for you, and I don't intend on going inside your house," she said before turning to look at Avery. "Miss Tate, I am very sorry. I didn't know that you wanted this set of jewelry. Now that I do, you should have it as it belongs to you. I do think that it would match Layla perfectly, so you can purchase it from me for her.
