"Well, as long as you don't tell Miss Tate that you've been here, she wouldn't come asking me about it,
would she?" the person in charge said gingerly.
Elliot could not find an issue with what he said.
Meanwhile, Avery and Robert were at Tammy's house.
They were there to keep Tammy company, and because it was that time of the month, Tammy was in a
rather foul mood.
Avery's other reason for visiting Tammy was so she could find out who Elliot's drinking buddy was.
"Elliot was drunk?"
No way! I've never seen him drunk before!"
Jun seemed a bit excited upon hearing what Avery had to say.
"I know most of Elliot's friends, but I didn't hear that he was hanging out with friends last night!"
Tammy was playing with Robert and said, "Avery, it's either that Elliot has lied to you, or Jun is not as
close to Elliot as he thinks he is."
"Let's go with the second one then!" Jun immediately said.
"I'd rather admit that I'm not as close to him as I thought I was than to see you two fight again!" Avery
chuckled.
"I won't fight with him.I'm just a bit worried because he said that he was coming over to see Robert last
night but was caught up with something else at the very last minute.Mrs.Scarlet called last night and
told me that he was drunk...Jun, why don't you ask Ben and see if he knows who Elliot was drinking
with last night?"
"Oh, I'll ask him now."
"Don't tell him that I'm asking."
"I get it.You just want to care for him in secret," Jun said before dialing Ben's number.
Ben picked up immediately.
"Didn't he leave a bunch of managers to go home and see his son?"
Ben was confused by Jun's question.
"Who told you that he went drinking with friends? I haven't heard about that."
Jun had placed the call on speaker and based on Ben's reaction, they had all come to the conclusion
that Elliot had lied about last night.
"It's fine, Ben.I'm just asking."
Jun hung up.
Tammy looked at Avery and could not help but reiterate the truth.
"That guy lied to you again."
Avery's lips curled into a smile.
"Maybe he is just trying to keep me from worrying! I could sense that he was in a bad mood when I was
on the phone with him last night."
"Why don't you go speak to him, then? I'm just having my period.This happens every month so you
don't really have to keep me company."
Tammy simply felt reluctant to part with Robert.
"Baby Robert is so sweet.Do not become a liar like your dad in the future!"
"Elliot probably ran into some kind of trouble after getting drunk.Avery, you should go find him!" Jun
said.
Avery took Robert from Tammy's and said, "I'll go now."
After exiting Tammy's house, Avery made a call to Elliot to get his location.
"I'm in the office.What's wrong?"
He sounded composed.He sounded like a completely different person last night.
"Were you drunk last night? Doesn't your head hurt?"
Avery was amazed.
"It's hurting a bit, but it's tolerable," Elliot said casually.
"Did I say anything weird to you last night when I was drunk?"
"You mean to say that you don't remember a thing about last night?" Avery gasped.
"I don't remember much.I just remember talking to you on the phone.I asked you to come over, but you
refused..." Elliot furrowed his brows.
He had deliberately eased into a lighter part of last night in order to put Avery at ease.
Avery scowled.
"People say weird things when they are drunk, and you just flip the whole story around? I was the one
who wanted to come over, but you didn't want me to..."
"Really?" he said guiltily.
It's my bad.Come over tonight!"
