Felix''s expression changed. Leslie wasing too? Averill was already enough for him to deal with. If Leslie joined in, he couldn''t imagine how things would turn out.


    "But don''t worry. I''ve sent Leslie away for now. If you cooperate andpromise with meter, I''ll not only help you out but also make sure that Leslie won''t bother you for a while."


    Although those words calmed Felix a bit, he knew very well that "cooperating" with Averill wasn''t going to be as simple as it sounded.


    Jack couldn''t stop gawking at her as Averill walked closer. Then, sure enough, she sat directly next to Felix and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Darling, sorry that I''mte."


    What?


    Jack nearly lost his bnce and had to grab the chair to steady himself.


    Every man seeing this scene could practically hear their heart shattering into pieces. How could Felix get such a perfect woman?


    Even Felix couldn''t help butugh at Jack''s reaction.


    "Jack, is it really that shocking?" he teased.


    Taking a few deep breaths, Jack hurriedly sat down. His dder had probably stopped functioning long ago.


    "You... You two... What''s going on?"


    Averill wrapped her arm around Felix''s, pressing her ample chest against him


    intentionally, making him very aware of her presence.


    "What? Can''t you tell we''re in a rtionship?" said Averill.


    Jack was dumbfounded.


    He blurted out, "But isn''t Felix''s girlfriend supposed to be Wendy?"


    What? Averill slowly turned toward Felix with an intimidating look.


    "You dare find a new love behind my


    back?"


    Felix sighed helplessly. "It''s just a fake rtionship."


    Why was he even exining this to his senior apprentice?


    "Fine. I''ll let it slide this time."


    Jack felt his scalp tingle. Felix''s romantic luck was unbelievable. Wendy, the daughter of a


    billionaire, was willing to pretend to be his girlfriend. Then, there was Yvonne, the stunning CEO who pursued him. And now, a literal fairy kissed him in public.


    How much more unreasonable could this be? How could any man stand this?


    "Hi, I''m Jack, Felix''s buddy," Jack greeted, extending his hand awkwardly.


    Averill shook his hand gracefully. "Hello, I''m Averill."


    "Let me get some more food for you."


    But Averill, unfazed, picked up Felix''s utensils and started eating from his bowl without hesitation.


    "It''s fine. There''s still plenty left. Enough for me."


    As she spoke, she ced her hand directly on Felix''s thigh, causing his body to tense up. Even though Felix was no stranger to being teased in Eden Vige, this was on another level. Half an hour passed, and the dinner was finallying to an end. Felix spent the entire meal on edge.


    As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Averill teased him, "Are you feeling ufortable, Felix? Do you want me to help you out back at your ce?"


    Her eyes yfully drifted down as she spoke.


    "No, no! That won''t be necessary! Averill, please! I''m begging you. I really came to you for something serious!"


    Averill draped her arm over his shoulders.


    "Whatever it is, can''t it be discussed in bed?" she teased.


    Finally, after Felix''s relentless pleas, Averill relented and returned to her normal demeanor. "Okay, then. What''s so urgent that you had to hunt me down like this?" Felix''s expression grew serious.


    "My aunt, Yvette Harrington, has been imprisoned by someone. I need you to find her and keep her safe for a while. Once I''ve dealt with this person, everything can go back to normal." Today''s Bonus Offer
