"Stay out of it!" One of the men yelled at Avery. "We are not here for you."Avery was more than confused. "How did you know my name? What are you doing with him? What do you want with him? We are together. "" The only thing we want is for him to leave this place right now and he should stop disturbing you. You are married. "Avery was shocked by the bone marrow. How did the men know she was married?One of the men turned to the others. "If he doesn't want to leave, force him to. If he struggled with you, then deal with him," he ordered.Avery's heart took on fast breathing. " You can't do this. Who are you? And why must you threaten him? Who sent you? " She bombarded them. The man regarded Avery for a moment. " Why should we tell you? You are going to do what we want or you will face the consequences," he warned in a thick voice."Don't worry, I will leave but tell me who sent you." Chris urged softly.The men went silent and the only thing Avery could do was observe them, perhaps
The open day came so fast. Grey couldn't return home the day before. He slept off at Beatrice's place and even went to work from there.But when he got home last night, Avery still refused to speak to him and Grey decided she was still angry at him. Though, he wondered how long she would stay angry. And he wondered the kind of lies Chris had made to her recently.In fact, Avery didn't let him talk. It wasn't just ignoring, it felt like a deep resentment.It was the open day and Grey didn't want Avery to ruin it for him. Though, he planned on having breakfast that morning."Seems like the boss decided to have breakfast at home today," Smith teased.Grey looked up at him. " Should that be an issue?"Smith grinned. " I was only saying. Just you take everything the wrong way?"Avery was strangely quiet, different thoughts going through her mind in a whirling confusion."He's working extra, perhaps he wants to buy us a house," Emma said suddenly.Avery looked up at her mother and opened h
Avery blinked once. "What?""You wanted a divorce, and I'm giving it to you," he muttered.Avery nodded briefly. " I'm glad. I will tell Grandpa about it but you should also see him and explain so it wouldn't look like a lie," she explained.Grey nodded once, with a straight face. " No problem," he turned around and left.Avery noticed a change in Grey's facial expression but she didn't care, she was supposed to be fast about it before Grey would initiate the divorce and make her look like a fool.That aside, Grey must have thought that she wouldn't find out about the assault issue and she was very much disappointed in him.Avery arrived at work and couldn't wait to talk to Chloe about it. She wanted to know how she felt about the decision she had just made. Sure, she knew she would be happy. She has always advised her to divorce. It was recently that she started speaking in parables. Maybe she didn't want Avery to use her as an example.Avery dialed her number. It rang severally but
Avery stood up unconsciously. "What did you just say, Smith? Did you set me up with Grey? What do you mean? "Smith stared at her for a moment. " Yes but it's over now. You should focus more on Chris."Avery felt a stab of annoyance at his words. " You set me up with Grey and you want me to forget about it? Why would you even do that? What was your purpose?"Smith sighed. " You needed to get a husband, and you were being stubborn."" This was your reason for forcing me into a relationship. Was I so young that I had no choice in a relationship and you had to choose for me?” She yelled angrily.Smith sighed. " Well, it's really over now. Just forget it, and start thinking of a new life with Chris. At least, we all know that nothing actually happened between you and Grey. You wouldn't even let him touch you. And well, it wasn't a public marriage. So, there's nothing to agree about. I will be going to LX corporation then,” he announced suddenly and went out of the office before Avery wou
Grey walked to Linda. The open sale had ended and everyone had already packed to leave. "The Open sale seemed to be very successful."Linda smiled up at him. " Very, I never expected it. We only had a few left. We exhausted all the vests and the caps, it was like they were all waiting for us," she explained happily.Grey nodded once. " It's all due to our hard work and we will be paid for it. So, call the workers together, there's a little announcement. "Linda looked very excited. You could tell she was very tired, yet there was this happy vibe she was giving. Within minutes, the workers had all gathered together and looked at Grey for whatever he was about to say."So, I'm going to arrange with Miss Linda to send you something as an encouragement for being part of this wonderful company," he announced.Everyone yelled suddenly, while some people clapped excitedly.Grey raised his hand in order to silence them. "The open sale was a success which was a huge thanks to you. But we must
After Grey had gotten the password to enter the house and had dropped his membership card with Beatrice, he went with Caramel to her car. "Since Mom has ruined your dress. I think you should change it as well. We've been in the sun for more than three hours. So, the sweats and others," he explained. Caramel smiled. " I will just get some clothing at any nearby boutique. I will watch out for and stop you. " Grey nodded and pulled out into the street. "I really like your mother. She's friendly and fun to be with." " Don't mind her. She thought you were my girlfriend. She wanted me to introduce her to someone. She believes I should have someone at this stage." Caramel laughed out so loud. " What the fuck? Do we still have parents that are excited over something like that?" Grey smiled. " Well, it depends. Maybe all mothers are like then but they try to curb that attitude." Caramel became sober all of a sudden. " Maybe you are right. There's no way I would know since I lost my mot
They walked to a rack filled with clothes.The salespeople were exceptionally very happy. They knew that they would have a lot of commission. To them, it doesn't matter who wins as long as they get a lot of clothes from them.Grey turned to look at the salesperson. "Are there special designs? Designer clothes?""Yes sir, we do have. Come, I will show you, " the salesperson urged and walked away.Grey and Caramel moved behind her. Caramel was even shocked at what Grey requested. He was requesting designers that could cost more. Grey was actually waiting for Caramel to ask questions but she did none. Most of the girls he had seen would be shocked as to how Grey was going to make it happen but Caramels was usually quiet and silently trusting him.If it was Avery, she would have been annoyed at his claim and even forced him out of the store. But Caramel was different. Well, Grey knew that anyway. He needed no one to tell him that Caramel wasn't only inquisitive but she possessed some qu
It actually felt like Liam zoomed out of the world. He had always noted Grey's way of dressing. Though he was a handsome man, Liam had never expected him to be capable of spending $ 30 million at a go. Asides, he had never seen him in a high gathering. So, he concluded that he had nothing. Also, Avery told him how poor he was and the fact that Caramel would never date him.Well, he was the one that took the pictures of Caramel and Grey together. He was the one that sent it to Avery and confirmed what was disturbing him."No way!" He yelled. "There's no way he would pay for a $30 million dress. It's just not possible," he argued and moved closer to the salesperson. He took the receipt from the salesperson and stared down at the figure.It was really right. The salesperson didn't lie. Grey had really paid for the dress. He paid $30 million for a dress, something Liam wouldn't do.Caramel was still shocked. She couldn't even move from where she stood. She held a high expectation from G
