Chad's anger surged up in an instant and he strode behind Mike to give him a pinch on the back.
Mike endured the pain and immediately rephrased his sentence. "What I'm saying is that you don't have to wait for him here! It's such a waste of time! No company president would cto work this early!" His explanation did not convince Avery.

Mike dragged her out of the office with ease and they left the Sterling Group.
He stuffed her into the car and fastened her seat belt. "I'll get someone to drive your car back.” Mike got into the driver's seat and immediately drove away.
Avery looked out of the window and watched as she was going further and further away from the Sterling Group's building. She murmured, "Mike, you said earlier that he's not coming. Who told you that?" Mike felt a headache coming on when he saw her in a trance.
Telling her the truth would only trigger her emotions even more.
"It was a guess. I'm a man, after all,” he said. "Chad also toldlast night that—" "What did he tell you?" she interrupted him immediately.
"He toldthat you were looking for Elliot, but Elliot didn't seem concerned at all, so he assumed that the two of you were arguing with each other again." Mike looked at the road ahead with a guilty conscience.
He was lucky that Avery could not see his face, otherwise she would have spotted his guilty look.

He's not a fickle person, and he wouldn't avoid coming hjust because of something minor.” "If he knows, then so be it! When it comes to everything, you need to prepare for the worst. It's something you should have already considered when you were threatened,” he said calmly. "It might not necessarily be a bad thing if he knows." "But he's ignoringnow," she said emotionally.
