Chapter 818

This request perplexed Neera.

Uncle Chad didn’t mention this to me. Besides, I’m not familiar with him. It’s odd to attend an event with him.

Instinctively, she wanted to refuse, but considering they just agreed on a collaboration, it seemed inappropriate to reject him. Additionally, it’s a gift Uncle Chad wants to give to Aunt Adriana.

Avery was an outsider, but he would personally attend to this matter. I don’t have any reason to refuse to be Aunt Adriana’s niece.

“Alright, I will join you tonight.”

Avery seemed to have expected this answer. He raised his brows a little and said leisurely, “Thank you for doing me this honor, Ms. Garcia.”

When Neera thought the conversation was concluded, Avery spoke again, “In this case, would you mind inviting me to your office for some tea?”

Neera was dumbfounded. She stared at Avery in puzzlement.

The latter lowered his gaze and smiled elegantly before he slowly raised his head.

“Don’t get me wrong. I have heard wonderful things about your tea brewing skills from Uncle Chad.

I happen to be a tea lover; I hope I get the privilege to try it.”

Neera was helpless.

Why did Uncle Chad spill the beans on him? How am I going to turn him down now?

She had no choice but to agree in the end. She raised a polite smile and said, “Since Mr. Cox has

brought this up, I would happily oblige. Please come with me.”

She quickly invited Avery to her office.

Avery took in the entire office while Neera was making tea.

His gaze eventually settled on Neera’s face.

He had to admit she was lovely, elegant, and noble. Whatever she did, it was always visually appealing.

Neera was completely unaware of this. She was fully absorbed in preparing the tea.

The tea leaves she was using were of the highest quality, which she specifically brought over.

When the time was right, she poured two cups of tea and set one down in front of Avery. She said, “Mr. Cox, please give this a try. I hope it suits your taste.”

Avery cooled his tea by blowing it on the rim of the cup. He drank from it and seemed pleased with the tea. He then took two more sips.

“Premium imperial tea. This is good stuff. The aroma is stronger when combined with your exceptional tea brewing technique.”

He smiled as he praised her ability.

“I haven’t had such authentic tea in years. This is something I long for. Indeed, the fragrance of Kingsview’s tea is legendary.”

He spoke with sincerity, as if his true reason for coming here was for the tea.

“Mr. Cox, you’re overly dramatic,” Neera said softly. “However, based on what you’ve said, has the

Cox Group been developing overseas for a long time?”

Avery caressed the tea cup and nodded.

“My family has been away for generations, but we remember everything about Kingsview. It’s

where we came from, after all.

After replaceing common ground, the two began talking without realizing

Around five o’clock in the evening, Neera thought it was almost time. She invited, “Let me treat you to dinner. It seems appropriate that I show you some appreciation now that we’ve finalized our

collaboration.”

With a wry smile, Avery said, “I hope you wouldn’t think of me as a client.”

Neera said with a smile, “Of course not. You’re Uncle Chad’s friend, which makes you my friend.”

“I see.”

Avery responded meaningfully. His eyes sparkled with amorousness.

Are we just friends?

He said nothing and accepted her offer of dinner.

While they were on the road to the restaurant, Neera texted Jean, “I won’t be home for dinner. Don’t wait up; you should have dinner with the kids.”

Jean received her text and replied, “Meeting with a client?”

“Yes, it’s Avery,” Neera replied truthfully. “Uncle Chad brought him on board to boost my business. and break into the artificial intelligence industry. I need to take him out to dinner.”

“Also, tonight I’m attending an auction with him,” she added. “Uncle Chad asked for his help in purchasing a painting for Aunt Adriana.”

Jean’s eyes narrowed and she stared at the phone as she filled him in on her whereabouts.

He took his time responding.

“Okay, don’t come home too late. I’ll be waiting for you.”

He then tossed his phone onto the coffee table and looked at Ian.

The latter blinked and immediately understood. Ian picked up the phone and looked at the message, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Goodness, this is a big deal! Someone is trying to steal Mrs. Beauvort! She would have dinner and

attend an auction with him. This is unacceptable!

Jean ordered coolly, “Find out where the auction is being held.”

Ian dared not drag it out. He put down the phone, saluted, and replied, “Roger that!”

He then hastily left to complete the task.
