Mike burst outughing. "It''s probably the same concept as polishing a shoe."


    "Dyeing someone''s hair is definitely going to be more difficult than that," Chad said. "But Avery is a smart woman so she should be alright as long as she followed the instructions."


    Elliot shuddered.


    "Mom, why don''t you just take Dad to a salon? Your hands might get dirty," Hayden suggested.


    Hayden had always been skillful with his words when he wanted to be. He was concerned that Avery would fail but simply said that he did not want Avery to get her hands dirty.


    "Your mom wants to do it for your dad. Don''t you know what this is?" Mike threw his arm around Hayden''s shoulders and said, "It''s called ''spicing things up''. You don''t have a girlfriend, so you won''t understand."


    Hayden responded to his sarcasm with silence.


    "It''s gettingte, so Chad and I will leave now," Mike blurted out before Hayden had the chance to retort.


    Avery saw them out the door and returned to the house before asking Hayden, "Are you staying the night here or are you going back to your ce?"


    "Here."


    Avery nodded and whispered, "Is there really no girl that you are interested in at all?"


    Avery rarely pried when it came to Hayden''s romantic life and only asked about it because Mike mentioned it.


    Hayden did not panic at the question as his parents had never tried to rush him into a rtionship like other parents would.


    They were more easygoing and respected his will on the matter, so they had not attempted to get him together with someone.


    "No," he responded honestly.


    "That''s because you don''t have that many female employees in yourpany. Outside of work, you have no reason to socialize at all!" Avery pointed out. "You should socialize more outside of work. Try participating in some activities that interest you, perhaps. Just check out whatever sparks your interest... You will definitely find a girl who shares your interest that way."


    Hayden nodded in agreement and said, "But I''m toozy to get to know strangers."


    "Find someone among the people you know, then?"


    "I don''t want a wife just yet."


    "Oh... Alright, then. You aren''t that old, anyway."


    "Do you want to watch some tutorials on how to dye hair? You might get confusedter, and I can''t help with that."
