However, Elliot had to face her eventually.
Now Shea needed Zoe’s treatment. As Zoe’s boyfriend, Elliot must not be too harsh.
Around half an hour after Elliot had left, Chad’s friend came out from the restaurant.
There was a group of men coming out along with him. Including Mike.
“Our Director of Operations will wing us to continue drinking at the bar…Chad, I remember that you can drink a lot. Come and join us.” Chad’s friend patted Chad on the shoulder and said in a low voice, “I feel like he is more of a sister to Miss Tate…
normally a couple won’t act like this. I don’t know if you get what I mean…find out when you drink with him later.”
Chad was shocked but pleased.
If Mike was merely a friend of Avery, then that would be ideal In the past two days, Elliot was feeling down due to Mike and Avery.
And yet, since they already had a divorce, Elliot could not do anything.
“To be fair, I’m not sure about my boss’ relationship with Shea. They’re not a couple but they… do have something. I can’t tell.”
Chad said in a low voice, “Don’t spread this, if not, my boss will fire me.”
“Well, don’t tell anyone about what I told you as well. After all, he’s our Director of ‘Operations. If he’s not gay, he will definitely fire me.”
“Yeah!”
At the bar.
Under the dim light and with the alcohol working, one could lose consciousness easily.
Mike had two drinks when Chad’s friend brought Chad forward.
“Director, this is my friend, Chad. He is good at drinking, let him drink with you!”
Mike glanced at Chad.
Chad had an ordinary look but his eyes were special. Mike had not seen such clear eyes for a long time.
“How much can you drink?” Mike held on to his glass and touched it with Chad’s.
Chad said, “Half a bottle maximum, I don’t really drink a lot.”
“Oh, that’s not a lot. Well, then drink half a bottle with me, then!” Mike’s face was red, forming a stark contrast with his neck.
Chad had a drink with him. Based on their conversation and eye contact, Chad felt that Mike did not seem gay.
However, his friend said Mike seemed gay, so Chad decided he would test it further.
Chad took a deep breath and as the alcohol worked in their heads, Chad moved his legs toward Mike.
Mike saw it and he was quite shocked.
Chad coughed and moved his legs away.
When he did this, Mike did not move his legs away.
This showed that he might actually be gay.
However, he was not sure yet.
Both of them finished their second drink. They were talking when Mike’s legs leaned forward out of the blue!
Their legs were touching very closely. Skin to skin.
Chad was speechless.
Mike was definitely gay, but he was not! He stood up right away as he was going to leave but Mike hugged him tightly!
At 5 a.m. the next morning, Elliot‘s phone vibrated. He had received a text message.
It was not until two hours later that he woke up and saw the message from Chad.
(Sir, according to Mike, he‘s an expert hacker.)
(He‘s gay.)
(I‘d like to take the day off, Sir.)
Elliot‘s brows furrowed as he read the three messages.
How did Chad manage to find out this much crucial information in the span of a night?
M ike was not someone who was easy to deal with.
He would not simply reveal personal details to a stranger for no reason.
At that thought, Elliot dialed Chad‘s number.
“Chad, how did you get all that information from Mike?”
Chad remained silent for two seconds, then said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, “I was drinking with him last night. He told me after a few drinks.”
“That‘s it?”
“Yes. Also, I had too much to drink, so I‘d like to take the day off.”
“Okay. Stay home and get some rest.”
Chad‘s eyes were red at the end of the phone call.
No one would believe what happened to him the night before.
He had no plans to talk about it, anyway.
It was too humiliating.
At eight in the morning at Starry River Villa, Avery was getting ready to take the children to school.
“Didn‘t Uncle Mike come home last night, Mommy?” Layla asked with her backpack on her back and a curious expression on her face. “I checked his room and he wasn’t there!”
Avery had called Mike at 11 p.m. the night before.
I hope
He had told her he was out drinking.
When she called again at midnight, he had not answered her call.
“He probably had too much to drink and ended up staying at a hotel,” Avery answered. “Don’t worry about him. He‘ll be fine.”
Mike had always had an entertaining nightlife, so it was normal for him to be out all night.
“Oh. Will you and Uncle Mike get married, Mommy?” Layla pried nosily. “I won’t be mad if you and Uncle Mike got together.”
Avery found her daughter‘s words both laughable and infuriating.
“Mommy would never get together with Uncle Mike. Stop imagining things.”
“Hayden and I really like Uncle Mike, though.”
“I know you like him, and I will be friends with him forever,” Avery said, then led the children out the front door, where their eyes landed on the black Rolls–Roice out front.
Elliot was standing by the car outside the gates, and his gaze was fixed on Avery and the children.
The expression on their faces instantly changed.
It was only eight in the morning, so what was Elliot doing at their front gate?
When did he get here?
Why did he come?
