Chapter 250
Elliot suddenly held Avery’s hand. She let go of her phone in her hands and he let go of her instantly.
Ben was right, he was directing the speech towards her. The managers’ jaws all dropped.
Oh shit! Is something about to happen between the both of them? Avery’s face felt burning hot. She
took a huge gulp of the juice she just poured for herself.
Fortunately, today wasn‘t her real birthday. It will be a real treat to have a lecture on her real birthday,
Avery thought sarcastically. Elliot went on and on about his secrets of sess while drinking with
everyone.
It seemed as if he forgot today was her birthday celebration.
Avery had two tes of pasta and a te of fresh fruits. An hourter, he‘s still at it with his speech.
She held her head and looked at him.
Elliot cleared his throat and turned at her, “Avery, you got everything I said jotted down?”
“Let‘s drink!” Avery looked down as she helped herself a ss, and poured one for him, “It’s been ages
since I knew you and we never drink together!”
As Elliot contemted, Avery had already finished hers.
Tammy looked wildly surprised at the table next to them and gasped, “Avery has gone mad!”
Jun said to Tammy, “In the end, it was Avery who ended Elliot tonight, not Mike, and certainly not the
managers.”
As Jun said it, Tammy saw Elliot raise his ss and drank it all. She gasped, “What are they trying
at?!”

Jun continued, “It‘s obvious, these two are attracted to each other. Either they get back together, or
they be each other‘s worst enemies.”
“They are never getting back together. There‘s Zoe, and Shea…even if Avery’s gone mad, she’ ll stay
away from a rtionship with him,” Tammy said with a scoff.
They continued drinking for another half an hour.
Elliot was dead drunk, and Avery drank quite a bit too. She rubbed her fingers against her temples,
forcing herself to stay awake.
Mike was thest man standing. Everyone was high from dri?king except him. Mike dragged Ben away
for more drinks. Looks like Mike had nned to have all of them drunk today!
At 10.30 at night, Zoe appeared at the banquet hall with a cold expression. Her heels clicked
against the marble floors as they caught Avery‘s attention. They looked at each other.
“Happy Birthday, Miss Tate,” Zoe stood taller than Avery and she looked down as she spoke, “I ‘m here
for Elliot.”
Avery had too much to drink. She tried to speak but nothing came out of her mouth.
She waved her hands signaling at Zoe. That‘s the best she could manage for now.
“Miss Tate, why did you get Elliot so drunk for? You knew that overconsumption is bad for health. I
thought you would care for him since you used to be with him!” Zoe reprimanded as she tried to get
Elliot up with his driver.
They couldn‘t get him to the parking lot as he was heavily inebriated. Zoe had no choice but to get a
room. The driver left as soon as they got Elliot to the bed. Zoe took out the bottle of liquid Cole gave to
her. She must seize the opportunity tonight.
Ben replied, (I don‘t mean it that way, Miss Tate. Let him drink if he wants to. Just ignore him.)
Avery ced her phone on the table. Elliot red first at Avery, then Ben. He meant that he knew they
were texting about him behind his back.
He raised his ss, took a sip, and said, “Do you guys know, what’s the most important thing about
running apany?”
The supervising managers were dumbstruck. Where did thate from? Were they suddenly looped
into a free seminar?
Avery looked stunned as well. She couldn’t tell whether it was her or Elliot who was drunk
She looked at him as his face now looked surreal. Elliot felt hot and he tugged at his cor ajar with his
fingers.
“To start apany is easy. But to maintain it is another story. To keep thepany afloat, you got to
have some management skills...” Elliot opened his mouth again.
The managers all put down their sses and listened to him attentively.
Ben sent another text to Avery saying, (He‘s trying to warn you. He‘s worried that you will go broke.)
Avery read the text as her face blushed red.
