“It was Mr.Alfred who wrote it! Do you think you have authority to check the information on this cheque?”Jayden yelled.Peter looked up at him as if he couldn't quite believe the word coming out of his mouth. "What did you just say I should do?""I don't like repeating myself Peter and you know it!" Jayden said strongly." If you are unable to make it as whole and new as it's always been, then you will be sacked," Gregory moved to sit but still looked up at him. " I'm going to give you an hour."Grey stared at them, surprised. Actually, he wondered how many workers he actually had. And wondered how many he was still supposed to meet as the elders.Peter looked over at Gregory as if he still couldn't believe what was happening. Then, back at Jayden, with a blank expression. But he knew with Jayden's facial expression that he meant business. He wondered however why they were helping the delivery man. Slowly, he bent down to pick the pieces. He turned to leave but stopped slightly to l
Grey whipped his head towards the ladies. Didn't they just mention his name?He chuckled. He couldn't just control it. The ladies were talking about him and they didn't even know. So hilarious! The ladies turned towards him like he was a joker. "Why did you laugh?" "I didn't laugh, I chuckled," Grey corrected with sarcasm. The first lady gave him a dirty stare. "Whatever! All I want to know is why you did that thing you just did. What is so funny in what we are discussing?" Grey scoffed. " You are discussing seducing someone when you should be discussing prospering. That's gold-digging!" The lady placed her hands over her waist. " Hey, cut it! We are discussing one of your fellow mates. Isn't Grey Fox a man like you? He can afford what you can't. He can buy your kind of man a hundredfold." Grey laughed again. " No, he can't," he shook his head slightly. Just as he was about to tell them who he was, a car pulled up in the parking space and a man in Gucci clothes got down. "It's
Caramel sighed."I'm going to take very good care of you," he continued. "This guy doesn't deserve you a bit," he glanced at Grey. "He looked like a loser, and losers shouldn't be with girls as prettier as you," he explained proudly." What the fuck are you doing?" Grey was already boiling in rage.The man turned to look at him. "You are not worthy of her and you know that. Perhaps you only want to snitch off her."Fine! That was the height of it!" Grey muttered as he stood up.Before the man could blink, Grey's fist collided with his face and sent him reeling backward. "What the fuck!" Everyone gasped around him, however, Grey wasn't done. He was fuming with rage as he moved nearer and pulled him up by his collar. There was blood on his nose already. "What the fuck did you say I was? The likes of you need to be punished!" He muttered and ducked a blow in his stomach. The man puffed out blood. "What the fuck! He's going to kill him!" A voice yelled from the crowd and Grey finally
Grey made a quick contemplation in his head. He needed no one to tell him what would happen to the guys that went out of the bar a few minutes ago. "Grey!" Caramel yelled suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts. He blinked once and stared up at her. "Yes, what were you saying?" Caramel sighed. "Are you lying to my friend?" Grey shook his head. " No, but I think I have a place to be now. And don't forget that I'm your friend's husband and I need to hurry home now or she might think I'm cheating." Caramel chuckled. " Why would she think like that? She doesn't even like you." Grey sighed and got up. " I know but I have to leave right now. Can I drop you off?" Caramel managed a nod and finally stood up after much hesitation. " We should meet some other time." Grey took the opposite street and glanced back at the men running in the background. "Where's your house?" He asked his eyes on the road ahead of him, as well as the rear mirror. "Just drop me off over there," she gestu
The drive back to Lucy's house was slow and quiet. Grey still felt pains in his hands from having to beat fifty men. It was something he hadn't done for a long time. He pulled up in front of the house and inhaled a deep breath before he got down. He walked inside the house, slowly. "I don't know if there's anything we can do about it then. Hopefully, we should wish that Ken would talk to Alfred, perhaps he could help," Benjamin muttered. " We need to have the King's Corp support if we want to do this. Perhaps, we should ask the help of foxgreen holdings," Emma suggested. " No mom! There's no fucking way we will try to meet Hercules. No one has ever seen him," Avery argued. " Perhaps Chris would help us then," Emma said finally, with a hint of defeat. "Well, I will gladly finalize your marriage. What has Grey done for us anyway?" She sneered. Grey walked inside, wondering what was really happening. From what he heard, it seemed like Avery's company was having issues. "Greeti
Avery's eyes showed how angry she was, in fact, it looked as though she was in a rage, with eyes almost turning red. She picked up her phone and turned to leave the living room. Grey walked after her. "I can help you with the problem you are facing," he blurted out but quickly regretted it. Avery turned to look at him again, with eyes filled hatred. " Stop saying nonsense, Grey. There's absolutely nothing you can do." " But I have a job now. I'm now a manager in Alfred's company, " he declared. " Oh," she smirked. " Do you think that shows your position is permanent? Alfred might treat you well today but he might get fed up with you tomorrow. He might discard you like trash! Don't you get it?" She explained. Grey regarded her for a moment. "He can't," he pointed out. Avery sighed. "How the heck did I end up with you Grey? How did you get inside my room? How did you ruin my life?" She screamed the last part. " You are useless, you don't have a family, no parents, and nothing. Dam
Emma was quick to pull out of the trance and tell Grey that there was nothing he could do for Avery especially because her right as the heir to her grandfather's properties have been taken away from her.Benjamin was still in shock and although he had little trust in Grey, wished he could actually help out."Let's go," Grey turned towards Avery and noticed a drop of tears on Avery's cheek.Avery went silent for a moment as if thinking about something. Then she slowly turned to look at him, her gaze already cold. "Go where? You must be insane!" She spat out, took her bag, and walked angrily out of the room.Grey rushed after her. "Hey, Avery!" He called, then stopped when she stopped in front of Grey's car and gave it deep scrutiny. "This is your car?" She asked with confusion.Grey smiled and walked closer to her. "Yes, it's mine. Do you want me to give you a ride?"Avery scoffed. " In this thing? That looks like something from the bin?" She spoke in a voice that showed how disgusted
Grey decided to stay as cool as he could. It was going to be a long night anyway and he didn't want to make Avery sad the more that night. "Well, I'm not working in Avery's company. Can we go inside? Or is this what the reunion is all about?" He asked softly. Philip cleared his throat meaningfully, and nudge Cindy by her arm. " Let's go inside. Kevin is here already. We were waiting for him," he looked past Grey. " Hi, Kevin!" Grey turned to look at Kevin. Kevin was actually the student that got all the fame and looks when they were in college. "Hi, guys!" Kevin greeted with a smile, then he looked at Grey. "I didn't know you would be here." Grey had seemed out Kevin's help when he was still in school but the latter disgraced him in front of his friends and Grey became the talk of the Town as usual. Grey nodded. "Nice meeting you as well." "Well!" Philip clapped. " Let's get inside. The students have arrived already." They walked inside the apartment that was big enough to con
