Faux Vows, True Desires

Cedric chuckled, "I know Tiffany already has a crush. We're just neighbors from childhood, no special feelings between us. The matchmaker was just too enthusiastic, thus the date tonight. If you're busy, you can head out first."

Cedric would love to chat more with Liam, but he could tell that Liam's mind was elsewhere and he was just not interested in talking with him.

He kindly suggested Liam to leave first.

Liam was thrilled after receiving Tiffany's call. Upon hearing Cedric's words, he didn't hesitate one bit to take his leave.

The moment he left, Avery arrived.

Hearing that Cedric was going on a date, Avery was a bit green with envy. He wanted to see with his own eyes who that woman was. To his surprise, he only found Cedric alone. "Avery."

Even with Avery's arrival, Cedric still wore a gentle smile. He beckoned Avery to sit, "Everyone's gone, but the food I ordered hasn't arrived yet. Since you're here, why not join me for dinner?" "Where's your date?"

"She didn't show up."

Avery's face softened a bit.

"Cedric, I told you. I'll figure out a way to help with your company's issues. You don't have to sacrifice yourself,"

Avery was jealous, but he also cared for his lover.

Their relationship was kept under wraps, not many knew that they were a couple. Most thought that they were just good friends.

After the Frost Group faced financial troubles, Avery dipped into his savings to help Cedric out of troubles. But his hundreds of thousands of dollars couldn't make a dent in the problems of such a big corporation.

The Frost Group needed an investment to solve their problems.
