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
After they got some clothing, Grey drove straight to Beatrice's house.It was getting very late now and Grey was happy about it. They might not need to take a drive. Grey most especially just wanted to get some beer and drink.Grey's phone rang suddenly but he didn't want to pick it up as it was Richard calling. He didn't want to talk in front of Caramel.Caramel was still a bit shocked but she wouldn't talk about it. Actually, Grey loved it that way. He didn't even know what to say to her if she asked."So, here's my mom's apartment."Caramel gazed around. " It's really beautiful. Does she stay here alone? I mean since you stay at Robinson's place."Grey nodded briefly as he got out. " She stays alone. She doesn't really like staying with people anyways. She is very quiet and mindful," he explained as he led her inside the living room.Caramel marveled at the room and its design, as well as the high quality of furniture around. There was no way she would see and wouldn't recognize su
Grey cleared his throat meaningfully. "You gave me a scare."Caramel laughed. "So, you do get scared? You always look so bold."Grey smiled and turned around to continue cooking."Do you want me to join you?""Can you cook?" Grey asked, ignoring her questions.Caramel laughed. " I don't! I mean I can bake some cakes but that aside, I could burn the whole house."Grey laughed again. " Then don't bother. I will pass."Caramel watched Grey for a moment. "Thanks for the dresses by the way. But why will your mother give you such a huge amount but you spent it on a girl?" She was shocked. Actually, with the look of things it showed that Beatrice was rich but yet, Caramel found it weird that Grey would spend more than $30 million on a girl.Grey smiled softly. "Not just a girl. You are not a girl to me. Have you forgotten you are my friend?"Caramel blushed slightly and stared for a long time. " When did we become friends?" Grey thought for a moment. "I sincerely can't remember. "Caramel l
Grey saw as his expression changed from the lively one to a darker one. He didn't know what had happened or perhaps he did something wrong.Just as he opened his mouth to also, Alex returned."Yes, so he's coming with it," Alex announced excitedly.Caramel got up suddenly. " I think I will be leaving now."Grey gathered his brows. "Wait, what? We just got here."Caramel shrugged slightly. "I just remembered what I was supposed to do that I haven't done. So, let's call it a night."Alex's face fell. " Seriously? I ordered something for you already."Caramel smiled faintly. " Let's hang out some other day. Oh, I'm coming over to your place tomorrow. Let's talk by then. I'm kind of tired already," she explained, even though that wasn't what happened to her. Well, it wasn't entirely a lie anyways. Caramel really felt tired after the question that Grey asked her.Her expectations just failed her. If Grey wouldn't even look towards her and instead seek refuge at the Escorts. Then, what was
