"Alright." A few card playing friends around her age were also happy to continue playing. Unexpectedly, before they had been playing for long, someone reported, "Ma'am, Mr. Thomson from Thomson Group is outside looking for Mrs. Thomson."
The card-playing friends glanced at Avery Clark, who also turned her head to ask, "Is he alone?"
"No, there is a woman of the same age with him," the person replied.
It must be Emma Smith! Avery Clark's face suddenly looked amused. She continued to throw cards, her voice becoming colder: "Don't bother with them. We still have a round left to finish! We'll talk when we're done!"
This time, the card-playing friends could tell that there was something off. They looked at each other and saw Avery's nonchalant expression. They thought that maybe it had something to do with their family problems. Perhaps her husband and son had come looking for her because of some issues.
