When His Eyes Opened (Avery and Elliott)

Chapter 76

Chapter 76
If Ben had mentioned this when he arrived at the house, Avery never would have gotten into his car.
“Mr. Schaffer, I know that all of you want to get on Elliot’s good side-“Avery began to say.
“What do you mean? Haven’t you ever gotten presents for your friends?” Ben interjected with a smile. “He always gets us something for our birthdays.”
“So, you don’t get him a gift just because he told you not to? That just shows that you don’t see him as a friend at all, but as a boss,” Avery said. “I don’t think you should drag me into this. If I accept your gift on his behalf, it would be the same as me accepting a gift from him. If that’s the case, I won’t be able to take pleasure in reprimanding him when he makes me angry in the future.”
Ben was bewildered.
Take pleasure in reprimanding him? How exactly does Avery treat Elliot every day?
Ben began to suspect that his boss had a masochistic side to him.
“You should think of something else! I’m leaving,” Avery said, then turned and began to walk away.
Ben immediately reached out and grabbed her arm.
“Miss Tate, Elliot’s birthday this year is different from the ones before,” he said.

He had already prepared the perfect script, and his professional acting instantly silenced Avery.
“It was after his last birthday that he had gotten into that accident and that rendered him a vegetable. At the time, the doctors said that he didn’t have much longer to live… None of us expected him to pull through, but he woke up in the end. It’s a good thing he did, too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to celebrate his birthday this year…”
Avery’s heart turned as soft as cotton.
She put herself in his shoes and thought about how painful it would have been if she was the one who was in a coma after getting into a car crash.
All Ben wanted was to celebrate Elliot’s birthday and get him a gift to cheer him up. Was that so wrong?
“Don’t worry, Miss Tate. We won’t give you anything too expensive. I hope you will be able to accept it with ease,” added Ben.
Avery gestured at the jewelry counter and said, “Everything here is too expensive. Let’s go somewhere
else.”
She finally gave in!
“Do you need some beauty products, Miss Tate? I see you’ve got makeup on. Should we get some new makeup products? You’ll need some makeup remover to go along with that, right?”
Ben was in full swing.
“You have slender wrists, Miss Tate. I’m sure a bracelet would look good on you! Let’s get one! It’s pretty cheap!
“What do you think of these brand’s bags, Miss Tate? Let’s get something classy! A classic style would go with everything and you can it’s big enough to carry a bunch of stuff! It’s both stylish and practical!
“Miss Tate… Your shoes are looking worn out. Let’s get you a new pair! I know a store that sells flats that
last forever. I’ll take you there!”
Avery saw a whole new side to Ben.
It was like he had never-ending spirit and energy.
He also seemed to have a vast knowledge of women’s products.
He was able to easily list out everything from the best tampons to the stores with the most comfortable lingerie.
He truly was womankind’s best friend.
