Alexander thought for a few seconds. "How about this? You can work on that detective novel. However, I want you to hint that I'm the author. The murderer would focus on me instead. Of course, I'd not retain the author's identity after solving the case. Would that be alright with you?"
Avery waved her hand. "Sure, sure. It's a deal."
Alexander smiled and raised his glass. "You're a good person. Let me propose a toast to you again."
The champagne was delicious. It also did not have much alcohol content. However, Avery said, "I've got work tonight. I can't drink anymore."
Alexander never forced others to drink. He smiled and said, "Alright, you can have water instead. I'll down this glass." Alexander finished his champagne before saying, "The Miracle 30 I promised to gift Dr. Annie has completed the final examination. It'd be sent to her soon. I hope she likes it."
Avery kept up with the pretense that she was not Dr. Annie. "I believe she'll like it."
