Recently, he will actively find opportunities to get along with her and make them closer.
“Tomorrow I won’t…” she gave him a blank look. She wanted to refuse his invitation, but changed her mind “Well! You’ll pick me up tomorrow. ”
Tomorrow may be a good opportunity.
Through tomorrow’s party, she must speak clearly and draw a line with him as soon as possible.
At 7:00 p. m., Avery and Kevin arrived at the home of big brother Thomas on time.
They are not the first pair of guests. More than a dozen guests have come to the spacious hall. They are sitting or standing in twos and threes, talking to each other happily.
“Kevin, I have something to tell you.” Avery pulls Kevin to the corner of the hall.
Although there are many business people worth knowing, that’s not the purpose of her coming here tonight. She plans to make things clear as soon as possible so as not to give Kevin too much imagination.
“Come on, here you are.” He brought her a drink and handed it to her. “What do you want to tell me?”
“I want to talk to you…”
She took the drink and was about to say goodbye, but Kevin suddenly interrupted her.
“Wait a minute, they’re coming!” His eyes fell on the door of the hall with an expression of excitement.
“Who’s here?” Although she didn’t care who it was, she was curious to see his excited appearance.
“Leon!” He said quickly, “you should have heard of Leon’s group! He is the president of an l group. He and my brother are good friends. ”
He has always admired Leon, but not because of his achievements, but because of his self-control over women.
Hearing the word “Leon”, her face suddenly turned pale.
Shit!
Why hasn’t she heard of the deep relationship between Leon and big brother Thomas? How could it happen that she met him in this place?
“Hey, what are you doing?” She was so confused that Kevin took her hand and walked to Leon.
She didn’t want to see Leon. She would rather hit the wall than meet him on such an occasion.
“Go, go!” Kevin pulled her hard without knowing her face. “If you have anything to say, I’ll introduce you first.”
Under very’s concealment, he was completely unaware of the crisis that Wilson was canceled by l group, let alone the entanglement between her and Leon.
They talked and talked all the way, and soon attracted the eyes of other guests. Even Leon, who had just entered the door, didn’t look at them more.
It’s her!
Leon was also surprised when he caught a glimpse of Avery. Although he had a good relationship with his eldest brother Thomas, he rarely dealt with Kevin.
Because fun-loving Kevin only likes to roll among women and has never been very interested in such business parties, he didn’t expect Kevin, a fancy radish, to come to the party tonight, let alone with his fiancee.
“President Leon, long time no see.” Kevin shook hands with him warmly” Yeah! How are you? ” Leon responds to changes with constancy, but his eyes float to the white woman next to Kevin from time to time.
“Not bad. I just came back from abroad.” He said with a smile, “you and Elizabeth look good. Are there any happy events recently?”
“Mr. Kevin, don’t make fun of others.” At this time, Elizabeth, who nestled in Leon’s arms, burst into a sweet smile. “Leon is so busy. How can you talk about anything else? You’ve been engaged for so long. When will you get married?”
Her eyes slowly fell on Avery. “This must be your fiancee, isn’t it? Can you introduce me? ”
Until now, Avery, who kept his head down, didn’t notice Elizabeth’s existence.
Is this Leon’s girlfriend?
She couldn’t help looking at Elizabeth secretly.
Beautiful, sweet, gentle
This sweetheart has the advantages that women should have. No wonder Leon chose her.
Thinking of this, Avery’s heart hurts.
“What’s the problem!” Kevin hugged his fiancee. “Honey, this is Leon I just mentioned to you. This is his girlfriend, Elizabeth.”
Kevin patted Avery on the shoulder, smiled, and said to them, “this is my fiancee, Avery.”
“Hello, Miss Avery. Nice to meet you.” Elizabeth shook her hand generously.
“You, hello.” Avery took a deep breath, then bravely raised his head. Now he can only pretend to be all right and deal with the scene first.
“Miss Avery?” Leon said calmly, “why do you act so strange? It’s not too much to shake hands with Thomas because of my friendship?”
He reached out and held Avery’s slim little hand in his palm. “Nice to meet you.”
Feeling his temperature, she hurried back to her hand like an electric shock” Me, me too. ”
Barely glancing at Leon, she hurried away from her face and then giggled at Elizabeth. Otherwise, she really didn’t know where to look.
Leon looked as if he were just greeting a stranger and still looked at Avery with no discomfort.
How could he be so… Uh… Unresponsive?
Avery was surprised and surprised by Leon’s calm response.
Maybe only because Leon doesn’t care about her at all, can he face her so calmly!
For him, she is just a dispensable and idle role to tease. Naturally, her appearance can’t make any ripples in his heart.
This seems to be the only reasonable explanation.
“Avery and I are just thinking about getting married.” While Avery was secretly hurt, Kevin suddenly said surprisingly.
Hearing the speech, Avery was so angry that she couldn’t consider marrying him at all. Kevin even released news to others before she got her consent. If she hadn’t been afraid of how ugly people are, she would have kicked him.
“Really?” The eyes suddenly brightened, and Leon’s eyes became extremely sharp.
“Really? That’s great! ” Elizabeth seemed to sympathize with the good news and snuggled closer with her boyfriend with a sweet smile on her face” Let us know then. Don’t forget! ”
“Of course I won’t forget. I’ll be the first to inform you.” Kevin smiled happily.
Avery would have denied it, but after witnessing the intimacy between Elizabeth and Leon, he swallowed all the words that came to his mouth.
Avery knew he had no position to envy Elizabeth, but he couldn’t help it.
Maybe I’m angry!
She forced herself into Kevin’s arms.
“Will you accompany me to get something to eat? I’m hungry. ” Avery said to Kevin in an unprecedented gentle tone.
Seeing this, the expression on Leon’s face began to harden.
Avery is looking at Kevin wholeheartedly as if he is the only one in his eyes.
When Avery and Kevin snuggled up and left, Elizabeth couldn’t help saying, “Miss Avery is not only beautiful but also stable and generous. She is really suitable for brother Kevin.”
She always knows how to say good words, especially good at choosing good words.
“Hum!” Unfortunately, these nice words are not pleasant to Leon at all. On the contrary, they make him angry.
