The car window rolled down and Mike's face appeared in front of them.
"Hey! You two! What are you doing in front of the office? Sunbathing?" Mike teased," It's almost lunch. I suggest that you two find a restaurant to sit down and slowly fight it out. It's bad to fight in front of the office."
Avery’s expressions turned a little colder.
Elliot said, "Lunch?”
Avery replied, "I'm not having it with you." Then, she turned around and headed back to the office.
Mike honked and said to Elliot, "Buy me lunch!"
Elliot swept him a cold glance and planned to leave.
"Buy me lunch and I'll bring back lunch for Avery too!" Mike called out after him. Elliot stopped in his tracks.
They found a restaurant nearby and sat down. Mike ordered food for Avery and wrote her number down. He got the waiter to directly deliver it to her.
Elliot furrowed his brows. "You're exposing her privacy!”
Mike tutted. "Avery always orders from here!"
Elliot was speechless.
"Do you think that everyone is like you, getting their assistants and secretary to run around while you hide in your office being the big boss," Mike would never give up a single chance to mock him.
As long as he thought about how Chad's job every day was to serve Elliot, he would be extremely unhappy about it.
"Mike, we're adults. Let's not beat around the bush. Do you know what Avery is thinking about?" Elliot picked up his cup and drank some water.
Mike replied, "Didn't you say you wanted to draw the line with Avery? Now you look aggrieved as if Avery did something wrong. You're funny."
"Since when did I say that I wanted to draw the line with Avery?" Elliot slammed his cup on the table.
