I Was Hoping She Would Notice but again Now When She Did... Im Tired

Chapter 114 jimmy and garry

Jimmy and Garry pulled into the restaurant's parking lot, their car coming to a smooth stop. The neon lights of the establishment flickered softly, casting a faint glow over the lot."This is my area," Jimmy announced with a slight smirk as he stepped out of the car. His demeanor was casual but confident, his presence radiating the kind of authority that couldn't be ignored.

Garry, trailing slightly behind him, gave a faint, knowing smile. "Oh? Interesting," he replied, his tone deliberately nonchalant. Of course, Garry knew everything. he had already lived this moment once before. But he played along, his mind quietly assessing the situation.

Jimmy led the way toward the entrance, his strides purposeful. As they passed by a group of men lounging near the restaurant, one of them stood up, his face breaking into a grin. "Jimmy! Long time, brother! You here for a drink?" the man called out, his voice warm and familiar.

Jimmy shook his hand briefly but didn't linger. "Not today. Got business to handle," he said, his tone friendly but firm.

The man nodded, stepping aside respectfully. Garry, following close behind, observed the exchange in silence, masking his thoughts. It was odd to relive moments like this, knowing the secrets each person carried, yet pretending to be none the wiser. Just keep playing along, Garry reminded himself.

As they entered the restaurant, Jimmy's sharp eyes scanned the tables, one by one. His posture grew more rigid, his focus narrowing as he

Garry and Jimmy finally sat down across from her, their expressions noticeably reserved.

Jimmy, although clearly hesitant, gave Avey a curt nod. His greeting was cold but not entirely disrespectful a nod born of the respect and brotherly relationship toward Lucian. It was clear he didn't approve of Avey being here, but he was willing to tolerate her presence for Lucian's sake. His body language screamed restraint, his eyes giving away the simmering irritation he felt.

Avey caught his nod and returned it quietly, acknowledging that she didn't deserve warmth from him. Deep down, she respected Jimmy. She knew he was Lucian's closest ally, someone who always stood by him through thick and thin. If there was anyone Lucian trusted implicitly, it was Jimmy. Knowing this, Avey didn't expect acceptance, let alone kindness, from him.

Meanwhile, Garry offered a polite but noticeably stiff greeting, his voice laced with an edge of animosity. His gaze lingered on Avey with something resembling hostility. The hostility in his eyes was palpable and left Avey confused. She wasn't sure why Garry harbored such animosity toward her they barely knew each other at this point. Yet, his sharp eyes and cold demeanor seemed personal.

Avey's mind raced as she tried to make sense of Garry's behavior. While she had expected hostility from Jimmy, who had every reason to dislike her after what she had done to Lucian, Garry's apparent dislike puzzled her. She didn't recall any meaningful interactions with him in the past or even meeting his at this point of time. Could it be that Jimmy had shared her and lucian history with Garry? Perhaps Garry had heard enough about her to form his own opinions and clearly, they weren't favorable.

Still, Avey pushed aside her confusion and forced herself to remain composed. She reminded herself that Garry's opinions, while stinging, weren't the main issue. She was here for Lucian, not his friends, though their acceptance or lack thereof made her task feel even more daunting.
