Elliot reached his arm out through the car window.Clipped between his slender fingers was a pack of tissue. Avery was stunned. She was about to decline but ended up uncharacteristically accepting it."Thanks."The warmth of his palm still lingered on the tissues.Elliot quickly averted his gaze from her face and rolled up the window as the car sped off.It was ten in the morning at Tate Industries, and all of its employees were working away at their respective stations.It had been a month since the company had paid wages. However, Tate Industries was an old player in the industry. Even if all kinds of negative news were circulating on the internet, its employees refused to give up until the very last moment.If she had not known about the company's many debts, Avery could not imagine that the calm atmosphere in front of her was an illusion.She entered the meeting room with the company's vice president, Shaun Locklyn.The lawyer went straight to the point when he saw Avery

In the bathroom of the master bedroom, the nurse was carefully drying the water droplets off of Elliot's body with a dry towel.His legs were still weak and he was only able to stand up if someone was holding on to him, so he needed the help of the nurse.This nurse had been taking care of him ever since he met with the accident.He was a middle aged man who was meticulous and careful with his work."You have a bruise on your thigh, Mr. Foster," said the nurse as he put on Elliot's bathrobe and helped him out of the bathroom. "I'll go get some ointment for you."Elliot sat on the edge of the bed and opened up the bathrobe to look at the bruise when the nurse walked out of the room.It was not like he had no feeling in his legs, but when Avery had pinched him, he held back and pretended like he had felt nothing.For some reason, he kept recalling Avery's crying face.Also, the unique fragrance of her body continued to linger in his mind.Elliot had never felt this way about a w

It clearly stated “calcium tablets" on the bag as calcium supplements for pregnant women were the same type that the elderly and those that lack calcium take."Do you have to tell other people exactly what kind of medication you take?" Avery asked.Her cheeks were flushed, but her tone was relatively stable.She hurried off after she said that.She kept the bag of pills in a drawer, then washed up in the bathroom.Things could not go on like this. Everything would be exposed if she did not leave soon.All of her checkup reports were in the room. Elliot would find out about everything if he decided to check her room.Of course, reason told her that Elliot might be a little extreme, but he was not actually crazy. He probably would not go as far as to check her room.Besides, if he did not mention divorce, she had no way of divorcing him.Her stepmother accepted the exorbitant benefits from the Foster family after all.Avery sat on the edge of the bed with her mind in such a fre

The car sped past Avery, leaving a trail of dust.She lifted her head and saw the blurry tail lights of the Rolls-Royce in the darkness.Was that Elliot's car?She wiped the tears off her face, calmed herself down, and walked toward the house.She saw the car parked in the courtyard when she arrived.She waited outside in hopes of going in after Elliot had gone to his room.Her eyes stung. She looked up at the stars shining brightly in the night sky.It was a beautiful spring night.Before she knew it, she had been standing outside for an hour.The driver had already moved the car into the garage.The lights in the living room were still on, but there was nobody in sight.Avery felt normal, so she walked slowly into the house.On the veranda on the second floor, Elliot, dressed in a grey robe, was sitting in his wheelchair. The last dregs of wine sat at the bottom of his wine glass. He had watched Avery the entire hour that she had stood outside in the cold. He could

It was Sunday, and Avery did not get out of bed until it was ten thirty in the morning.It was the first time she had slept in at Elliot's house.When she walked out of the room, the group of men in the living room shifted their gaze toward her.Avery was dressed in a loose nightgown with her disheveled hair falling to her shoulders, framing her clean, spotless face.She did not expect Elliot to have guests that day.Elliot and his guests stared sternly at her as if they did not expect her to suddenly appear.Something snapped in Avery's head.When she realized the awkward situation she was in, she instantly turned around and made her way back to her room.At that moment, Mrs. Cooper walked over and pulled her in the direction of the dining room."You must be hungry, Madam. You were sleeping soundly when I went to your room earlier, so I didn't wake you.""Those people… Who are they?" Avery stammered."They're friends of Master Elliot. They came to visit him. Don't worry.
