Chapter 978 - 015 Enemies on a Narrow Road
Halfway through their meal, Avery Graham beckoned the waiter and asked for some more noodles, mentioning that adding noodles to the soup would taste great. She had heard this from Mia Parker, the food enthusiast.
Avery ordered noodles for two. When it was served, she caught sight of Michael Auclair walking in from outside. He seemed to be in much better shape than before, at least in terms of his physical appearance.
As Michael entered, he even turned to share a few laughs with the person who had come in with him.
Upon spotting Avery and Bernard Taylor there, his eyes instantly tightened. For the last couple of days, he had been busy with a project given to him by Bernard, and although it meant extra work, the project could earn him at least a million dollars, which made Michael quite happy.
Therefore, with the motivation of money, the irritation caused by his breakup with Avery had somewhere to dissipate.
However, what he hadn’t expected was that while he was slaving away on a million-dollar project from Bernard, Bernard was here openly flirting with his woman.
At that moment, Michael completely forgot that he and Avery had already broken up, and that she wasn’t his woman anymore; yet, there was still a fleeting sense of imbalance in his heart.
When Avery faced him, she remained composed, although she thought back to the day they ran into each other and wondered whether Jollie Auclair had been persuaded to return home.
