Elliot remained in the same spot. Avery soon quickly walked over to him.
"When did you come?" Avery looked at him. There was not any expression on his face. He looked away and said in a very low voice, "Yesterday."
"What are you doing here?" Avery raised her voice. "Did you come alone?"
She did not know why she wanted to stop him nor why she asked him these questions.
Previously, they both had an argument. No one wanted to admit defeat. At that moment, meeting each other, they could have gone their separate ways. However, Avery could not control her thoughts. What if he was there to look for her?
"There's a speech at a school." Elliot swallowed his saliva. He could not help but look at her.
"I studied here for a year in high school. I'm going to give a speech in the afternoon. Do you want to go?"
Avery was a little disappointed. She did not hide it very well.
"I'm with Hayden today. I'm not free," Avery said and looked toward Hayden.
Hayden’s smile has long vanished. At that moment, he was looking coldly in their direction.
The bodyguard was holding onto the robot that they won, standing next to Hayden. He was looking at them too.
Avery inhaled awkwardly. "I only felt that it was a little too much of a coincidence that I would bump into you here," she paused for a while before saying, "I'll make a move."
She only took her first step away when Elliot grabbed her arm. "Let's have dinner tonight." Afraid that she would reject him, he added, "I'm returning to Aryadelle tomorrow."
"Hayden wouldn't want to have dinner with you, so..."
"I know you'll find a way. He listens the most to you." Elliot walked over to Avery and looked at her with his dark eyes. He said seriously, "Avery, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have suspected you. Although my initial intention wasn’t that way, I still hurt you."
Avery's face blushed red. Her body temperature shot up within a few short seconds too. She was so hot she panicked. She never thought that Elliot would say
such a thing.
