Chapter 966
"Can you not try and give me a bad name, Elliot?" Avery was trying her best to remain clear-headed
and not get dragged into Elliot''s tempo. "If I really wanted to chase you a thousand miles away, I
wouldn''t have let youe to the birthday party yesterday.”
Elliot pursed his lips. He wanted to say something but ended up keeping it to himself.
"I''ll take you to your room to get some rest." He picked up her suitcase and walked toward the door.
"You know my room number?" Avery watched as he led the way, then said, "Did you really bribe my
vice president? Where do you find all your courage, Elliot?" Elliot stood waiting at the doorway for her,
then said, "It''s now what you think. Your vice president asked me for help at the hotel yesterday. His
son really is sick. He wanted to get a refund on the enrollment fees, but the organizers didn''t allow it, so
I helped him out with that. When I asked him to ask you toe here, he refused at first, but he
changed his mind after seeing how well you and I got along yesterday."
"Are you sure?" Half of Avery’s anger subsided after hearing his exnation.
"You can call him right now. How do you trust him to be yourpany’s vice president if you won''t
even trust him on this?" Elliot teased.
"Even if you have a reason, it still doesn''t change the fact that you''re a b*st*rd." Avery sneered, "Does
the great president of Sterling Group really need to go to these tacky lengths just to chase after a
woman?''
Seeing through her pretense, Elliot grinned and said, "How would you like me to chase after you, then?
I can do anything.”
Avery strode over to him, snatched her suitcase back, then said, "I''m going to my room by myself. I
don''t need you to lead me there!"
Elliot followed her nonchntly.
Avery pulled out the keycard to her room and checked her room number.
"Your room’s right next to mine. I''ll take you there," Elliot said leisurely.
Then, he took Avery''s suitcase from her once again.
"If I''m really that tacky, Avery, I have plenty of ways to subdue you. Would I bother getting a separate
room from you?" Elliot dragged the suitcase over to the elevator doors. "I think you haven''t met a bad
man before. Well, it''s my fault for spoiling you."
Avery was at a loss for words.
One truly was unbeatable when one was shameless.
A pang of hunger suddenly shot up from her stomach. She had not had dinner. Her hunger made her
stop bickering with Elliot.
Elliot sent Avery to her room, then pointed at the room next door ?b*:PNQ: said, "That''s my room.
You''re wee over anytime.”
Avery opened the door to her room, then snapped coldly, "No, thank you. Don''t youe over either.”
She entered the room and shut the door behind her.
Even with the door standing between them, they could almost hear the sound of the other''s breath.
Avery felt torn. "Am I being a little too harsh by shutting the door on Elliot''s face like that? He did help
me with my suitcase, " she thought.
On second thought, however, she would not have had to rush over here if it were not for his antics.
Avery took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, then dragged her suitcase over to the bed.
She was starving and she smelled awful. She nned on taking a shower, then heading out to eat.
She opened up the suitcase, took out her toiletries, then took out some clothes, and headed into the
bathroom.
She emerged after her shower about twenty minutester.
She was beginning to experience some mild stomach cramps, so she did not bother drying her hair.
She grabbed her phone and keycard, then walked out the door.
She took two steps out of the room, then saw a slender woman standing in front of the room next door.

Just as Avery looked up at the woman, the woman looked back at her, too.
As their eyes met, there was a hint of shock on Avery''s face, while a charming yet yful grin appeared
on the woman''s face.
It was as if she was telling Avery that she was about to walk into the room in front of her and subdue
the man inside!
