Chapter 293: You Are a Miracle (7)
For nearly half an hour, Avery Graham couldn’t manage to hail a single taxi. Some were taken by quicker passengers, while others had weird drivers, who used bizarre excuses to refuse her. Still, others seemed to be occupied but had forgotten to change their sign to off-duty.
Ten more minutes passed, and Avery was just about to give up when a black car pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Bernard Taylor’s face.
Seeing him, Avery felt even more frustrated and turned to leave. Bernard, however, stopped her, "You probably won’t get a cab at this time. Do you want to be late for your dinner with Carolline Ruiz?"
Avery stopped in her tracks, not because she doubted her ability to hail a cab, but because she was wondering how Bernard knew about her date with Carolline. Had he gone crazy?
"How do you know about my appointment with Carolline?" Avery turned around, glaring at Bernard, wondering just how twisted he was.
She had already told him that she didn’t like men who appeared as flirtatious as he was, so why couldn’t he understand and stay away from her?
She still remembered how she reacted when Bernard first confessed his feelings for her; she had been so shocked that she laughed out of disbelief. Avery felt that someone like him should be receiving confessions from women or even men, but he had confessed to her instead.
It wasn’t due to her lack of self-confidence, but she had never imagined that someone like Bernard Taylor would actually be interested in her. Therefore, she thought that Bernard must be trying to make fun of her and seeking revenge for something.
