Chapter 113: Showtime -1
"What nonsense was that, Evy?" Avery grumbled, feeling her heart race, which was definitely because of anger. Did she like that mobster? Not even in a worst nightmare!
Evelyn shrugged, glancing at the mirror to see the traffic jam her best friend had caused behind them. Avery quickly started the car again, but she wasn’t done with Evelyn yet for that stupid joke.
Taking a swift turn in the direction of their company, Avery continued, "Spew something like that again and I will seal your mouth forever." She threw a glare at Evelyn who innocently smiled back at her.
"I mean the way you guys keep fighting, it feels like you were lovers in your past life." Evelyn continued to get more on Avery’s nerves, her words causing the angry bird to cross the speed limit. "God decided to give you another chance but you morons are wasting it in petty fights."
"Stop it if you don’t want me to open the doors and kick out this instant, Evelyn," Avery warned for the last time.
Evelyn wasn’t the first person who had mentioned it, the fact that she and Damien fought like an old couple who had spent decades with each other. And she denied it every damn time, but something felt different now that Natalie was tied up to him in a marriage prank. It was as if she was rather disappointed than angry with him, and it only frustrated her more.
"Alright, boss." Evelyn pretended to agree only to jump into the same topic again. "But you should seriously start going on dates again, Avy. How about I sign up on some dating apps?"
"Are you picking on me, Evy?" Avery asked, realizing too late that her friend had been just paying back for all the torture she gave her before Zevian came back into her life. Though Evelyn was engaged to that dumbass Vincent, she always pestered her to switch to a better one, going to the lengths of even setting her profiles. And Evelyn seemed to be paying back for that torture.
"Let’s select a picture of you first," Evelyn murmured to herself, going through her phone. The way she kept smiling conveyed she was right and Avery groaned out lout.
"I don’t have time for romance, Evy. You know it all too well." Avery replied, her voice tinged with disappointment. "I am currently married to my work."
Evelyn agreed to it with a sigh. At first, her best friend simply started the company out on a whim to support her dream that was long lost with Gracia. But as they started to make money and gain fame, consistently climbing the success ladder, as the CEO Avery had become busier than ever, taking responsibilities seriously. She felt bad for being so caught up in her married life that Avery had to bear everything alone for the past couple of months.
