Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Being a Good Bestie (3)

Bryan Hawkins finally let go of her hand, but not because of Avery Graham’s words. It was because Carolline Ruiz kept blinking her eyes forcefully at him. He was worried that she’d damage her eyes, so he released his grip, "We agreed on five minutes, okay?"

Avery Graham was almost choked by her own saliva. This guy was actually serious about it.

Kent Auclair thought to himself, even if it was just for five minutes, it should be enough. He believed that with his eloquence, he could leave a deep impression on Bryan Hawkins in just five minutes.

Little did he know, he didn’t even have a chance to speak to Bryan Hawkins. Forget about five minutes; he didn’t even get a second.

The next moment, Bryan Hawkins turned to Carolline Ruiz and said, "I’ll answer a call over there, and I’ll come find you in five minutes."

"Okay." Carolline Ruiz nodded and walked off with Avery Graham, not paying any attention to Kent Auclair standing there.

She was never very enthusiastic about this man to begin with, and she wanted to ask Avery Graham some questions privately, so naturally, she tried to avoid Kent Auclair.

Kent Auclair stood there by himself, looking left and right, and suddenly felt extremely awkward standing there.

——Dotted line——

Carolline Ruiz pulled Avery Graham towards a less crowded place outside the party. When Bryan Hawkins was by her side, she was probably the center of attention. Without Bryan Hawkins, she wasn’t important enough to be looked at.

The two women made their way out to the banquet hall effortlessly. After standing for a brief moment earlier, Carolline Ruiz was tired, so she dragged Avery to sit on a bench under a streetlight.

Avery had been following her all along. She had seen Nancy Sallow grabbing Carolline Ruiz’s hand earlier and Carolline’s polite smile in response. At that moment, Avery felt the smile was very irritating to her eyes.

Later on, Kent Auclair chatted with her, showing curiosity about Bryan Hawkins, so she brought him along.

She could completely understand Kent Auclair’s mindset, as they had gone through the same experience. After all, Bryan Hawkins was the richest man in their city and nationally renowned. Even a man like Kent Auclair wanting to see him up close was not excessive.

In reality, once seen, the richest man was just like an ordinary person. Other than having more money than an average person, he was just the same.

"Do you really plan to be with this Kent guy?" Carolline Ruiz couldn’t understand. In theory, a person like Kent Auclair shouldn’t be Avery’s ideal partner. But it seemed like Avery was very serious about it.

"Kent Auclair, not Kent what." Avery repeated Kent Auclair’s name impatiently.

"Who cares what he’s called? Are you serious about it this time?" As far as Carolline Ruiz knew, this was Avery’s first time in a romantic relationship. The use of the word "this time" was purely a matter of habit.

"What do you mean, ’this time I’m serious’? You make it sound like I’m some kind of relationship expert." Avery voiced her dissatisfaction.

"..." Carolline Ruiz was on the verge of losing her patience. They only had five minutes to talk, and while she was anxious, Avery appeared completely nonchalant, which was driving her crazy.

"Alright, alright, I know you’re in a hurry. I am pretty serious this time. You know I’m not getting any younger, and my parents are really pushing me. Anyway, you, who got married and had a child early, can’t possibly understand the pain of us older, single women." Avery said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"You’re... an older, single woman?" Carolline Ruiz was speechless. Avery was more like a young girl than an older, single woman. Only Avery could come up with such a shameless term.
