Chapter 254
“I‘m sorry, Doctor Sanford,” Elliot said as he immediately calmed down his nerves. He went back to his usual cold self and added, “It was my mistake last night, I need to calm down now.”
He left the room as he said it.
Zoe stood frozen. She thought her tears will soften him up, and that Elliot will take her into his arms and comfort her.
Why on earth was he still acting so cold? And just took off like that?
He wasn‘t like this last night with Avery.
Zoe wiped her tears off her face. Though she was heartbroken last night, at least there was a positive outcome for her. She looked for her phone and dialed Cole‘s number.
“I‘ve succeeded,” said Zoe. “Congratulations, Dr. Sandord! Let me know if I can be of any help in the future. I‘ll be here for you,” said Cole with a laugh.
Zoe‘s heart turned sour as she heard that from Cole. If only Elliot was half as obedient as Cole to her. “Tell me, do I look like a man? Your uncle never batted an eye on me,” said Zoe. “He had zero reaction even when I had no clothes on,” she added.
Cole laughed even harder as he heard that from her, “My uncle is abnormal! Dr. Sanford, He should seek medication as he‘s the ill one.”
Zoe thought that was mockery, and she said sadly, “He was completely normal last night when he was with Avery!”
“Oh…” Cole toned down his voice, and said, “No man can refuse Avery, she‘s a real beaute.”
“Did you just say I‘m not as pretty?” Zoe asked,
“No, Dr. Sanford! You have a great body and a pretty face. Both of you are beautiful! I mean, maybe, men prefer Avery who‘s more seductive yet innocent–looking…”
Zoe hung up. She didn‘t need to hear more.
She knew Avery was younger and prettier than her. She doesn‘t even wish for Elliot‘s heart, as long as he was hers.
In another room of the hotel, Chad woke up looking for his glasses. He was blind without them. As he felt a warm body with his hands, he gasped! “Who‘s that?” Chad asked nervously.
He had too much to drink last night. He couldn’t recall how he got here last night. He needed to look for his glasses and check what was going on.
Mike yawned and kicked him with his leg and said, “What the hell are you waking so early for? It’s a weekend! “Where are my glasses? Where did you hide them?” Chad could see a shadow moving in front of him.
“Why would I want your glasses for? Just say it if you want my help! Say please! If you just say please…” Chad kicked Mike down the bed before he could finish his sentence.
“You shameless prick! Why are you on my bed?” said Chad fuming with anger. “Darn it! I was going to ask how did you end up on my bed! I can‘t remember a thing since last night as I got too drunk,” Mike got hold of Chad‘s collar and they fought on the bed.
Avery was woken by a phone call. She spent the night on the bench at the bus stop. She took out her phone as she heard the ringing tone and put the phone close to her ears. Her fingers touched her ears, and her skin felt hot.
Avery had a fever.
“Avery, they beat me up again!” Mike cried from the phone, “I slept with Chad again last night as I got too drunk! How could they blame me if I blacked out?”
Avery held up her head and breathed in deeply, “If you think you‘re innocent, just call for the cops this time.”
