Chapter 912: 003 Stay Overnight Together_2

She really didn’t have that much American time to deal with them, and besides, why were these wealthy young ladies so lacking in confidence?

Of course, she also understood the reasons for their lack of confidence. The other party was Bernard Taylor, and if Bernard were her boyfriend, she guessed she might also be worried all the time that other women were eyeing him.

This was also why she didn’t want to date Bernard Taylor; first, because Bernard was truly excellent, and she didn’t believe she could hold on to someone like him, and second, Bernard’s mother was a major reason, at least half of it anyway.

She really didn’t like a mother-in-law like Nancy Sallow.

"You already have a boyfriend you’re discussing marriage with?" Mona Cervantes clearly didn’t know about this, why hadn’t Nancy Sallow told her?

Really, it made her come all this way for nothing. Since Avery Graham already had such a boyfriend by her side, it naturally couldn’t be likely with Bernard Taylor. What exactly was Nancy Sallow thinking, letting her come all this way just to be embarrassed?

"Hmm, Nancy Sallow didn’t tell you?" Avery knew that Mona Cervantes was here probably because she was pushed by Nancy Sallow. If the cake that Bernard bought from her yesterday was taken home, then Nancy Sallow was probably agitated again.

"You knew she asked me to come?" Mona Cervantes was surprised that Avery knew so clearly.

"Guessed it. Looks like I guessed right." Avery chuckled, "Miss Cervantes, I’ve got some things to take care of, and if you came here today just to probe into my relationship with Bernard, then all I can tell you is that he used to be a doctor, and I was a nurse; we were colleagues, just like that. Other than that, it’s really not as complicated as you all think."

"..." Mona Cervantes didn’t know what to say after that speech.

She actually knew that Bernard wasn’t interested in her, and it probably really had nothing to do with the Avery Graham in front of her. But she had foolishly believed Nancy Sallow’s words.

Nancy Sallow asking her to visit Avery had an unclear purpose. Now that she thought about it, it was probably all Nancy Sallow overthinking things. Avery was actually quite straightforward.

Fortunately, she hadn’t done anything to make a scene at Lala Cake Shop.

After Avery went back to her business, Mona Cervantes also bought some cakes to take back, in a way patronizing Avery’s business; honestly, the cakes they made were quite exceptional.

Afterward, Mona Cervantes even signed up for a substantial membership fee.

Avery’s negotiation abilities once again impressed her staff. Before, Mona Cervantes’s arrival had seemed like she was looking for trouble, but when she left, she was patronizing their business like this.

Such a big change could only be brought about by Avery.

When Avery was done and returned, she received a message from Nelson Castillo, informing her of the day their department dinner was scheduled, and specially inviting her and Bernard Taylor.

Avery couldn’t refuse, so she just agreed. She could only agree, because if you didn’t, Nelson Castillo had ways of making you agree. However, Nelson Castillo repeatedly reminded her not to bring family members.

She didn’t plan on bringing anyone anyway.

Michael Auclair didn’t have to work overtime today, which was rare. With the Spring Festival approaching, after such a period of high-intensity work, the company’s business was nearly wrapped up.

Avery’s business had been quite good these past few days. After Michael arrived, her customers hadn’t stopped coming, and Michael patiently waited by her side.

It wasn’t until the shop assistant arrived for the night shift that Avery, feeling apologetic, walked over to Michael, "Sorry for the wait, this time of day is when we get the most customers."

"Yeah, I know. It’s my lack of ability that makes you work so hard," Michael said with a smile. If he were wealthier, Avery wouldn’t have to toil so much.

"..." For Avery, her hard work wasn’t related to whether or not Michael had money. She enjoyed the feeling of earning money through her own efforts.

Moreover, a woman with financial independence has status. She had believed in this point for a long time.

"Don’t say that, I like living a fulfilling life. By the way, have you all finished up?" Avery shook her head.

"Yeah, pretty much. Starting today, I should be able to enjoy a few days of normal work schedule, then just wait for the holidays," Michael Auclair nodded. "In the next couple of days after work, let’s go shopping and prepare some New Year’s gifts for your family. I’ve already told my parents that I’ll go back later this year for the Spring Festival, later to bring a daughter-in-law home. They’re very happy. They said it’s okay even if I’m a few days late."
