Chapter 249

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.

“It‘s not my birthday today, you don‘t have to drink with me.” She sipped on her glass of juice as she

said it. The manager felt embarrassed as the glass of liquor was still in his hand.

Elliot stood up and raised his glass with a hoarse voice, “I‘ll drink with you guys!”

Avery took a deep breath and looked past Elliot with her eyes laid sight on Ben. Why blame it on her

staff when Elliot was the one asking for drinks from everyone?

Ben dug out his phone and sent Avery a text. It read, (He took a glance at your chest. I guess he didn’t

expect to see you dress sexily.)

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

Ben replied, (I don‘t mean it that way, Miss Tate. Let him drink if he wants to. Just ignore him.)

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.

He raised his glass, took a sip, and said, “Do you guys know, what‘s the most important thing about

running a company?”

The supervising managers were dumbstruck. Where did that come from? Were they suddenly looped

into a free seminar?

Avery looked stunned as well. She couldn’t tell whether it was her or Elliot who was drunk

She looked at him as his face now looked surreal. Elliot felt hot and he tugged at his collar ajar with his

fingers.

“To start a company is easy. But to maintain it is another story. To keep the company afloat, you got to

have some management skills...” Elliot opened his mouth again.

The managers all put down their glasses and listened to him attentively.

Ben sent another text to Avery saying, (He‘s trying to warn you. He’s worried that you will go broke.)

Avery read the text as her face blushed red.
