Since it was already quite late that day, Hayden was about to return soon, so after giving it some thought, Avery said," Tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then we’ll meet tomorrow at ten in the morning. You can decide the location."
Avery told him about a cafe near her neighborhood.
After deciding on the time and place, she hung up.
The nanny brought the bowl of oatmeal porridge and a plate of freshly cut berries and placed them before her.
"Miss Tate, eat up. I'll go cook the ravioli."
"Where is Mike?" She remembered that Mike was with her that morning.
"He said that there's something at the office, so he went to the office. He'll be back once he is done," The nanny replied.
"Hmm." Avery had two mouthfuls of porridge, suppressing the uneasiness in her stomach. Then, she picked up her phone and sent Mike a message.
After receiving her message, Mike immediately called her back. "Dean Jennings is asking to see you? What for?"
"His assistant called him. I didn't ask."
"Oh... then I'll come with you tomorrow," Mike said. "I'm just on the way back. Do you want anything? There's a cake shop at the junction ahead. You said that their cakes were quite good the last time."
"I don't have an appetite. Don't get it." "Okay, then! How are you feeling." "Much better. My throat hurts, so I can't eat too much sweet stuff." "Then, I'll get some fruits."
"Because, even if he told you this, it would be pointless. Whether you want to help him cure his brother or not is your matter. He can't stop you."
"Do you think I'll agree to help cure Bobby?" Avery smiled.
"Of course, this is a good chance for you to get closer to the Jennings." Mike looked at her. "How much are you planning to charge Dean Jennings?”
"I haven't named a price. Also, I might not be able to treat Bobby. I have to see him first."
The next day at ten in the morning, Avery met Dean at the cafe. The information about the Jennings that Mike compiled for her has Dean's photo in them.
She had never thought that Dean would look much more spirited than he did in his photos.
