Chapter 102

She lifted her head, her gaze shifting across the faces of the men before finally landing on the one on the far left.

"He's single. I can vouch for his character, totally trustworthy. He just doesn't talk much. But don't misunderstand. I didn't force anyone to come here. They all volunteered. Anyway, you guys can just get to know each other."

Avery walked over to Thea, his expression unchanged, though the tips of his ears turned slightly red. "Hello, Miss Rowland."

Thea subtly avoided Avery's outstretched hand, turning to lean on Joyce's shoulder. "I think I'm a bit drunk. I should head back."

Joyce gasped in concern, her eyes full of worry. "Your face is all flushed. Could you be coming down with something?"

Thea chuckled. "Not that serious. I'll be fine after some rest,"
