    Ang halik ay parang tumagal ng wng hanggan.


    Hindi pinakawn ni Elliot si Avery sa kanyang pagkakahawak hanggang sa marinig niya ang tunog ng


    pagtapik sa bintana ng sasakyan.


    Si Mike ay nalilitong nakatingin sa loob ng sasakyan.


    Laking gt ni Avery na naw ang ky sa kanyang mukha.


    Bubuksan na sana niya ang pinto atlabas nang hawakan siya ni Elliot at paos na sinabing, “Ang mga


    bintana ay tinted. Hindi niya tayo nakikita.”


    Nakahinga ng maluwag si Avery!


    Ang halik ay nagtk sa kanya sa isang sib ng damdamin.


    Ang kanyang mga pisngi ay hindi pangkaraniwang namum habang ang kanyang buhok ay gulo-


    gulo. Hinubad ni Elliot ang kanyang jacket at itinapon ito sa lupa!


    Kinuha ni Avery ang kanyang jacket.


    Inabutan siya ni Elliot ng isang bote ng tubig.


    “Ayoko!” putol niya habang mmig na tinitigan siya.


    The thought of what he just did to her made her so mad her head ay pumipintig.


    She would rather die of thirst than drink the water he was offering.


    Elliot ignored the hateful gaze Avery shot at him.


    All of the anger and resentment he felt melted away with their kiss.


    Was all the unhappiness he felt this entire time simply a symptom of him missing the taste of her lips?


    “Didn’t you enjoy that, Avery?”


    Elliot took a sip of water, then used his fingers to elegantly wipe away the droplets on his lips.


    “You haven’t had a man in a while. You must be lonely, right? If you have the need for it, I could always


    help you out for free.”


    “Get out of my sight, Elliot Foster!”


    Avery felt like she was stabbed in the heart. She immediately jumped out of the car.


    She mmed the door shut, then gave the car a violent kick!


    “Holy sh*t! Avery!” Mike eximed. “What were you doing in Elliot Foster’s car?! You weren’t


    fighting in there, were you? What’s the point of kicking his car? You shouldnd a kick right on him!”


    “Don’t you think I wanted to kick the sh*t out of him? It was just too cramped in there for that!”


    “I see… I almost called the cops when you disappeared all morning! What were you doing with him?


    Wasn’t he supposed to get engaged today?” Mike pestered as he followed closely behind Avery.


    Avery walked ahead, walked through the front door and hurried into the bathroom.


    Her face was boiling up!


    She had to wash her face! She had to take a shower! Otherwise, his scent would be lingering on her


    body!


    “Can you stop asking questions? Can’t you see how annoyed I am right now? Give me some peace,


    won’t you?”


    Avery washed her face in the first floor bathroom, then hurried upstairs.


    “Let’s not talk about that b*st*rd, then! Let’s talk about Eric Santos! Why did she speak up for our


    company? Do you know him? If you don’t, then why did you buy all of those portraits of him before?”


    Mike badgered on.


    Tate Industries was aplete mess.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    However, everyone was quite happy despite the chaos.


    Mike was ecstatic, too.


    The huge problem that bothered him just the day before disappeared overnight like a godly miracle!


    Avery picked up her phone to check on the situation and asked, “How exactly did Eric Santos help us?”


    “He posted a video online basically advertising the Storm Series. After that, his fans not only scared off


    the trolls who were bad-mouthing us, they also caused our new orders to go through the roof… Isn’t


    that interesting?” Mike said as he could not hide the joy he was feeling


    Avery’s mood wasplicated.


    Maaaring nakatulong sa kanya ang mga aksyon ni Eric, ngunit inlantad din niya ang kanyang sarili.


    Ayaw niyang gumawa siya ng ganoong seng sakripisyo.


    Gayunpaman, sa puntong ito, ang tanging magagawa niya ay tanggapin ang mabait na kilos nito.


    “Avery, ano ba tga ang ginagawa mo sa b*st*rd na iyon, sa kotse ni Elliot Foster kanina?” Mike


    bing tanong na may masungit na tingin. “Bakit namum at namamaga angbi mo?! Mukhang


    kakakuha mong ng fillers!”


    Hindi nakaimik si Avery. W na siyang ibang gustong ihampas ng duct tape sabi ni Mike para


    tumahimik siya!


    Sa lumang mansyon ng Foster, ginugol ni Rosalie ang buong oras sa pag-aliw kay Zoe pagkabalik n


    m sa hotel.


    Nawasak ang puso ni Zoe, ngunit tumanggi siyang maging isang katatawanan, at pinanatili ang isang


    maayos na kilos.
