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
Grey got home very late and he slept at the maid quarter. He doesn't want any confrontation. Even when they were married, Avery was always treating him like trash.So, he wondered how she would behave after the fact that the divorce would actually be happening."So, have you decided? Avery told me you have," Lucy said suddenly.Grey looked up and slowly nodded. " I have. We've agreed to divorce.""Alright," Lucy nodded briefly. " I consent to it then.""Wow! That's the best news ever!" Emma announced happily.Smith smiled. " Very nice." Smith couldn't find where Grey did his open sale and neither his men found out. It was that evening that news reached him of where the open sale took place. Though, he was happy that the plan concerning Avery had worked. He would have to see Chris so that they could discuss all other things.Grey felt a tightness in his stomach at the words." Can I pack my clothes slowly?" Grey inquired, amidst the celebration. He wouldn't have been present anyways i
Avery woke up with a scream. Her head was still banging but she wasn't in the airport anymore.She held onto her temple for a moment.The door opened suddenly and Emily walked inside.“Avery!” She called, with worries written all over her face. “What happened? Are you alright?”Her eyes were shut tightly. “Headache,” she whispered.Emily rushed out of the room suddenly. She rushed inside almost immediately but was accompanied by some doctors.Avery felt a stab of the syringe and suddenly, the pain started to ebb away.“Avery! Are you alright?”Avery opened her eyes and looked at her mother. “Mom, where is Grey?”Emily hesitated briefly. “What about the headache?” She asked instead.Avery looked at the doctor, ignoring her mother's question. “Grey was brought in here, right? The VP of Protos Pubblicita. Where is he? How is he?”One of the doctors regarded her for a moment, then looked at Emily. “Are they_”“He's my husband!” Avery said quickly. “If he's here, I demand to know how he's
“Grey!” Avery yelled again, in despair and pain.The phone dropped from her hand but she barely noticed.She couldn't believe what she had seen. She was actually thinking of surprising Grey by coming to the airport.But since Grey didn't want to see her, she was going to leave. Just seeing him from afar was enough for her.Avery raced closer. Her heart was pounding madly in her chest. “Grey!” She yelled again and felt the tears slide down her cheeks.Then she saw some images flash across her eyes. She saw herself standing beside a car with Grey.A serious headache hit in and he held onto her head a bit to stop the pain.But it worsened.Avery couldn't move as several images flashed across her eyes. The pain in her head got worse.She yelled, much in sadness than in pain. Grey was slipping off her hands and instead of helping, she could not.But it felt like she was starting to remember everything. She was starting to remember everything about Grey.“You ruined my life!” Avery saw her
Avery didn't believe it, couldn't have imagined it. Grey was a nice person. How could he have treated him badly?She felt a purge of sadness. She closed her eyes for a moment and shed unseen tears.“Sean, I need to meet you alone,” she muttered and walked away.Emily and Benjamin stared at her for a moment, confused.Emily turned to look at Sean. “And what are you doing here?” She yelled at him, anger vivid on her face.Sean looked down in guilt. “I'm so sorry. I really am. That's why I'm here. Please,” he beseeched softly and looked up at her again. “That's why I'm here. I really need everyone's forgiveness. I really hope you can forgive me. I've learned my lesson,” he rushed out with a solemn expression.“You_” Emily started but Benjamin cut in quickly.“It's ok,” Ben muttered. “You should go and see Avery. When you guys are done talking, you should see me before you leave.”Sean bowed slightly, with a slight smile on his face. He hurried towards the direction that Avery had gone.He
Avery couldn't stop thinking about all Grey had told her. She still found it hard to believe. How was she married and they weren't intimate?Does it mean she forced him to marry her? But then she wondered why she would do such a thing.She took her phone and placed a call to Sean.He picked it up immediately. “Hi, sister.”“I'm on the way home. So, come over. I won’t wait too much for you,” she finished and hung up immediately.The car pulled into the garage and Avery got down before the engine of the car would even stop.She walked inside the living room.“Ben, have you_” Emily started but stopped suddenly when she saw Avery. Her eyes widened with shock. “Avery!” Joy exploded in her eyes.Avery managed a smile and met her mother midway. They hugged.“Where have you been all these while? Why did you decide to stay away from us all this while?” She sobbed quietly.“I'm sorry,” Avery responded and pulled back to look at her mother fully. “I just need to get myself back. Besides, there a
Avery stood in front of the mirror, with two dresses. She was indecisive about the one to wear. She just freshened up and the only thing she could think of was to go back to the hospital because of Grey.She just wanted to be with him. She didn't want to think of anything else.She eventually decided on the black one, deciding it was a bad idea to be overly dressed when she was in fact going to the hospital.She dabbed some perfumes on herself and eventually walked out of the house. She got inside the car and drove right to a restaurant nearby.She thought of getting Hercules some cakes. Her phone rang suddenly as she walked back to the car. She hesitated briefly, as she took a while to find her. The phone had stopped ringing when she finally found it.She was about to check the caller ID when the phone started ringing again. It was an unknown caller.She hesitated again and contemplated on whether to pick it up or not.She eventually decided to.“Hello?”“Hello, sis!” A familiar de
Charles looked at Grey, still shocked. “Don't tell me you will team up with this good-for-nothing guy? You know he's not to be trusted!”Grey nodded once and looked at him. “I know but you do trust me, right? Just trust me.”Charles regarded him for a moment and slowly released a sigh. “Alright then.”Grey looked at Dylan. “But this teamwork will not work if we don't have the evidence we can pin Giovanni down with,” he explained.“Well, Giovanni is supposed to die, and not be jailed for killing your father.”“Well, I won't need the evidence after Giovanni dies. So, this deal will be useless for me. Besides, Giovanni will not live after killing my father. Don't think I plan on sparing his life.”Dylan laughed. “I like that! I sincerely do!” He muttered, dipped his hand into his pocket, and pulled out a phone. “It's here, everything on the watch,” he revealed, placed it on the bed beside Grey, and smiled slightly. “I will be in Jacksonville soon. We will talk then,” he finished, got up,
“Well, let him come,” Grey decided and looked at Avery. “I'm done with the food. Thank you, I really appreciate it,” he said with a smile.Avery nodded once and packed the lunch boxes. “I will leave then so that you and Dylan can speak.”Grey nodded. “Alright. Take care of yourself.”Avery smiled slightly and walked out eventually.Charles turned to Grey. “I will kill him today if he tries to act sneaky!” He swore.Grey smiled slightly. “Just calm down and let's hear him first.”Charles groaned inwardly and pulled a chair for himself to sit. “I'm seriously going to kill him!” He promised.Grey laughed and his phone made a beep. It was a message from Avery. He read through and looked at Charles.“Dylan is here,” he announced.Charles nodded several times as if it was taking every ounce of his strength to keep calm.A soft knock sounded on the door. The door opened almost immediately and Dylan pushed his head inside, a wide smile on his face.“Hi everyone!” He said with sarcasm.“You be
“Are you sure?” Grey nodded once, with a soft smile. “Yes, I am. I will handle him. So, you just stay calm,” he responded and dialed Charles's number.Avery nodded once. “I will call him back then.”Grey nodded again. “But tell him I would like to choose the venue. If he's not agreeing with that, then I won't see him,” he muttered and looked at the phone screen only to discover Charles had picked it up.“Hi Charles,” he said into the receiver and relaxed back on the bed.“Grey, where have you been?”“Well,” he smiled softly. He would have never thought he was going to get so sick. He hadn't gotten so sick in a long time that it felt like he was immortal, immune.“I got sick Charles. In fact, I'm currently at the hospital.”“Damn! Send me the address. I will be there now,” he assured and the line went off.Grey looked at Avery and caught her staring. He smiled. “What did the doctor say is wrong with me?”“Well, I will tell you that while you eat. You haven't eaten since morning.”Grey
Consciousness returned to Grey slowly and his gaze searched around.Where was he?A slight headache hit in. He groaned and reached for his head.“Are you alright?” A soft voice asked suddenly.He looked up at a pair of brown eyes. Wait, a nurse?“Yes, just a slight headache,” he responded.The nurse smiled down at him. “You will be fine with this,” she assured and raised a syringe. She regarded him for another moment before she injected him.Grey didn't flinch. It was as if nothing penetrated him. Well, a lot had penetrated him before. What more could a syringe do?“Wow, I'm impressed,” the nurse smiled.Grey didn't really remember anything. In fact, the headache was making it difficult for him. But then, the pain ebbed away slowly as the nurse had said.“Where am I?” He said and groaned inwardly. “I know this is a hospital. I'm sorry for that stupid question.”The nurse laughed.He did as well. “I mean how did I get here?”“Well, your girlfriend brought us here. She stepped out a few
