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
Grey felt a quick rush of anger as he veered away from his initial path, toward Avery. The guy's arm was around her waist when he got closer. "Hey! What do you think you are doing?" Grey yelled at the man. Just as he did this, three men pulled out of the chairs behind him and stood solidly behind him. "Any problem boy?" Grey felt another stab of annoyance. " I'm not a boy. That woman you are holding is my wife and I'm warning you to let go of her in this instance or you will face the consequences!" he muttered. The man holding Avery chuckled and the men came over to Grey and pulled him by his shoulders towards the door. Grey knew they were taking him outside to deal with him. And he consented to it as well because he didn't want to fight in the bar. He would rather deal with them outside. They were so fast as if they couldn't wait. They threw him on the floor the moment they were out of the bar. It was pretty dark around them. So, it was easy to get beaten without anyone takin
"Can't pay? Too much?" Cindy whined. "I bet you don't have more than five hundred dollars in your account," she teased further." I'm sure of that. I bet he's regretting his decision right now," Charlotte said from behind him.Grey turned to look at Charlotte for a moment and saw that Kevin was coming over as well and speaking with Philip. He looked back at Cindy and caught a sly smile on her mouth.Cindy must have intentionally called out to them so that they could watch his disgrace and he bet that they ordered foods that they couldn't eat. That kind of behavior is typical of Cindy."Hi, not paying?" Philip said again."I can pay if you don't mind. I'm not that hard," Kevin boasted. He wasn't that hard, yet he had refused to help Grey in times of need. These guys only rub salt on wounds."Here," Grey stretched out his card.Cindy took it and stared down at the black card. "What are you doing with a black card?"There was Grey Fox on it. Cindy looked up at Grey. " You aren't Grey Fo
Angrily, Grey walked inside Avery's room. She was asleep when he walked inside. He stopped slightly to take her features in especially since she was in a transparent night dress. She looked very beautiful and perfect in all places. Placing the bag in a corner, since he didn't want to disrupt Avery's arrangements while she was asleep, knowing fully well that she would start a ruckus the moment she was up. He slipped under the blanket beside her. She mumbled something inaudible and turned away from him. Grey closed his eyes, as the event of the day replayed itself in his head. . A scream and Grey felt something hard push him off the bed until his body painfully collided with the floor. He knew what the commotion was all about before he even turned. "What did you think you were doing? Why are you on my bed?" She yelled. Grey groaned and rubbed the back of his head. The blanket was still around him as Avery had pushed him with it. "Avery, you are going to break my bones," he stress
"Thank you!" Grey said into the receiver and dropped the call.He was starting to get tired of receiving calls. He stood up to get lunch. It was lunchtime but he had been receiving customer calls.The only reason why he would reconsider his decision of telling Alfred to take him to another department was that Alfred provided him with an office, so he would have privacy.He entered the cafeteria and ordered Hamburger with Americano. He settled down to eat, then remembered that he had left his phone in his office. He hadn't seen Jane since that morning and he wondered what she was up to. Though, he knew that Alfred would deal with her accordingly.Within minutes, he was done eating and decided to resume office quickly. Just as he entered the lobby, it was Cindy that he saw.She was coming out of the manager's room. She stopped to look at him, shocked. Grey saw her but pretended as if he didn't.She thought he didn't and inclined her head to another side. She used her hair as a shield a
Grey smiled softly. "I need to get some suits. I want high-quality suits." The salesgirl smiled so enchantingly. " We have wonderful suits here. How much is your budget so that I can pick for you?" She asked politely. " Just pick randomly. And make sure you pick them in high quality and very expensive materials." The sales girl's eyes sparkled with excitement. "How many should I pick?" Grey did as if he was thinking about it. " How many suits do I have to buy so that you will get a big commission from your boss? I mean a big commission like one million dollars." The salesgirl went into shock for a moment. " For suits, it's easy. May I show you around then?" Grey nodded, "yes." They walked through the lines and the salesgirl stopped before some suits. "These are the casual ones. We have tuxedos as well. And the price ranging from $10,000," she looked up at Grey for permission to proceed and Grey nodded briefly. She stopped again and stared at a suit. "Here are Brioni Vanquish ii
"Please," the manager continued in a sober voice. "You have to collect this card or I will lose my card," he pleaded softly. Grey sighed and moved closer to him. " Alright, give it to me," he said with a smile. The manager stretched out the card and as Grey accepted it, he smiled as well. "Thank you so much sir, thank you. I really appreciate it!" He expressed his joy. Grey nodded severally. "Someone from Alfred is going to come looking for me, lead the guy in when he arrives." The manager nodded. " I will do that. Is there anything else you want?" " Yes," Grey nodded and moved to sit. " I'm famished. So, just find me something great to eat. Also, will you help me to get something from the car?" The manager laughed. " Mr. Grey, you can send me anywhere and I will gladly go. If it wasn't for you, I would be sacked already." Grey saw that he was really appreciative and didn't regret forgiving him. The manager soon went out after Grey sent him to get the suit in the car. Grey was
