"..." Looking at Bernard Taylor's sparkling eyes, Avery Graham's face suddenly turned red. What she meant was that she was responsible for the money she had invested in him. Where did his mind wander off to? Why was he staring at her like that?
But that was just how Avery wasn't strong-willed; unable to utter a word with Bernard looking at her like that, she felt her heart pounding fiercely, nearly suffocating. Why did it have to be like this?
Was she sick? In the past, she had never reacted this way in front of Bernard. Recently, these abnormal reactions seemed to be happening more frequently.
Bernard took a step forward, slowly approaching her. Just one step away from Avery, he stopped, bent down, and his head slowly moved towards her. Avery was stunned.
She realized they were too close for comfort, perhaps too close, but at that moment, she didn't know whether she should step back.
