Chapter 44 

The bodyguard yanked Avery out of the way, causing everyone in the office to look toward the door.

When Elliot recognized Avery’s slender figure, he got up from his seat and said, “What are you doing here?”

Avery shook off the bodyguard’s grip once again, smoothed her clothes, and walked into the office.

“I’m here to see Professor Hough,” she said, then looked curiously at Elliot and asked, “Are you here to see him, too?”

Professor Hough examined the two, then adjusted his glasses, and asked, “Do you two know each other?”

Avery was about to tell the professor that they were acquaintances, but Elliot was one step ahead of her.” Professor, please keep the matter we talked about private.”

“Of course,” answered the professor. “It’s doctor-patient confidentiality.”

“I’ll be off, then,” Elliot said.

The professor nodded in response.
