Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 249

Chapter 24

Sage opened up the album Tammy gave to her, and it was filled with photos of them from college.

It was a precious gift. “We are best friends, that‘s how! Other than my own photos, the rest of them are mostly yours.” Tammy said as she looked at Avery lovingly, “Cheers to the friendship forever!”

Avery raised her glass and cheered, “Friendship forever!” She took a sip and put the glass down.

Someone patted her shoulder. It was Ben looking blushing red. “Come sit with us, Miss Tate!” Ben pointed at the table next to hers and said, “Tell your staff to behave themselves, we are getting hammered by any minute now.” Ben looked pitiful. 

“You‘re kidding Ben, you are a master at drinking!” teased Tammy. 

Ben sighed and said, “That was all in the past. I‘m getting older now...” 

Avery got up and followed Ben to the next table. Ben signaled for her to be seated on Mike’s seat. It was next to Elliot‘s. She glanced over at Elliot and saw him staring sharply back at her.

She sat down as he was making her uneasy. 

“Miss Tate, have some juice, “Ben said as he poured her a glass of juice and asked Elliot, “Do you want some?” 

No one was trying to make Elliot drink in her presence. Elliot raised his liquor glass and drank by himself. 

Ben awkwardly put down the jar of juice. 

“Miss Tate, Happy Birthday. Cheers to you,” a manager stood up and raised his glass at her.

Avery replied and said, (I can wear whatever I like. If he doesn’t like it, he may leave!]

Avery placed her phone on the table. Elliot glared first at Avery, then Ben. He meant that he knew they were texting about him behind his back.
