His Eagle Eyes on Me

Perhaps it was because Elliot had not shown favor to many people in his life so far that when he showed the slightest feeling for someone, everyone assumed that he was in love with that person. 3 The kind of love that Avery dreamed of was one of mutual respect and not one where one party held all the control and power in the relationship.

When the car arrived at the Foster mansion, the bodyguard got out and walked right up to Elliot. 1

"Miss Tate told me in the car that the things she said last night were simply to test out the lie detector," explained the bodyguard, probably in fear of Elliot losing his temper.

Avery was taking her time changing into her house slippers at the front door. She was alert, listening in to the conversation. 2

"She even said that she never meant to anger you," added the bodyguard.

"Does she not have a mouth? Why are you speaking for her?" snapped Elliot.

The bodyguard immediately dismissed himself, but not before throwing a threatening glare at Avery, as if to warn her that her days were numbered if she did not make things up to his boss. Avery slowly sauntered over to Elliot. 1

She sat herself down on the couch across from him, then mustered up her courage and prepared to speak.

"Did you go to a singles party?" Elliot was one step ahead of her. He had asked her the question before she could say anything.

"Was that a singles party?" Avery responded. "I had no idea. All I knew was that many of the guests were rich, so I went to look for investors." 3

Elliot's brows furrowed tightly as he asked, "And did you find any?"

"I didn't," Avery answered. "I was only there for about ten minutes before your bodyguard called me." 1
