Charles hung up before Grey could say more.Grey looked up at Charles. "She needs to cut the deal!""What? Why?" Charles was skeptical.Grey sighed, rubbing his forehead slightly. "Never mind, I will do it myself. What else do you need to hand over to me? I need to go home."Aphrodite darted at her wristwatch. " I need to leave now. My flight is in an hour."Grey nodded. "We will talk on the phone then."Aphrodite nodded and went to Alfred.Charles turned to Grey. " I will drop you in town. Why don't we leave together so I can tell you more on our way?" He suggested. Grey nodded. " Nice idea."Charles took the stairs up to get some file cases. He hesitated in front of the door and tried to think if he was missing anything else. When he knew he had it all, he walked downstairs again.Grey took the box containing his father's assets and moved it to the other elders. "I will be leaving now. We should probably see later in the city.""Yes, you can come back to the cinema sometimes," Luci
It was already five in the evening when Charles dropped Grey off at SU world. He took the box and the files and proceeded towards his car. He hesitated for a moment as he contemplated whether to enter the office or not. Deciding against it, he placed the box in the back seat and maneuvered around the car to enter the driver's seat.He drove straight away to his former house. He might need to buy the house in the meantime so that it could be a secured place for his documents.He got down quickly, with the box and the documents files containing his credit cards, and hurried inside.Three men came from a car packed a few miles away. It seemed like they had been tailing Grey but he didn't notice because he was in a hurry to get home.They spent a lot of time, all morning searching for him until Seth called to inform them of where Grey worked.And they had been waiting all day until he got down from Charles Car. They even traced him to his house because they were looking for the right ti
Chris laughed. "Well, I would love to come here often but I'm bothered about your daughter's husband," he hinted as if he was really concerned. " Well, fortunately for you! They will be getting a divorce soon," Emma expressed with a wide smile. Avery tried to smile. "Wow, that's nice," Chris looked over at Avery, his gaze flickering around her for a moment in an enigmatic way. " Can I take you out tomorrow?" Avery looked up to him and tried to reject but her mother was already speaking. "That would be fantastic!" She encouraged her. Grey took several steps closer to them before they could notice him. " Greetings," he mumbled. Gazes turned towards him. Emma hissed. "He finally rose in, the incompetent husband just arrived," she complained. " Emma!" Benjamin scolded softly. Then looked up at Grey. "Grey, why are you late?" "Yes, Dad! He came home yesterday too!" Avery added quickly, then turned up to look at Grey again. She saw a trace of blood from Grey's hair as he had alread
After breakfast, Avery and Lucy went to LX corporation. Emma and Benjamin also went out, not after informing Grey to do the dishes.They had maids and he doesn't know why he had to go through the stress. He did it anyway.His phone rang suddenly as he stepped inside the living room. The maids walked past the phone but didn't even bother helping him.They walked past him and didn't greet him but he shuddered it off.It was Alfred that was calling. He picked it up immediately."Hi, Alfred," he smiled and whirled around to go back to the bedroom. "Good morning, Hercules. How are you feeling today?""Fine. I told you I would be better, didn't I?" He laughed.He barely took two steps forward when the doorbell sounded. He stopped in his tracks and turned around, towards the door again."I'm glad you are getting better. You should rest very well. Nothing must happen to you," he declared.Grey nodded. " I will be fine."" Alright but I'm going to tell the elders this. We will take action soo
Caramel looked up at Grey and he feared what she was going to ask him. Caramel was someone Grey should avoid because she was too inquisitive. But what could he do after his wife had given her permission to take him anywhere. "Let's go," she announced suddenly, startling Grey for another moment. Though, he wondered how someone with his kind of car could be at the event. Grey hadn't seen a car like his since he brought it. Well, only three were produced as he had heard from the girls. They stepped inside the spacious hall, with marble floors and gym machines scattered abroad. A lot of people were around already and checking out the new machines. "What can you do here? Which one will you like to try first? " Caramel asked to clear the air around them. Grey's gaze searched around slowly, as he gave each machine deep scrutiny. He loved to go to the gym when he was so young that it wasn't even surprising that he had four sets of abs when he was fourteen. It was what his father want
When Grey turned around, there was no one behind him and there seemed to be a silent retreat of steps. When he walked out, Liam rushed out of the building. He found it weird but he didn't want to worry Caramel about it. So, he didn't say anything. The party rumbled on and Grey finally tried on most of the machines. . Grey opened his eyes to look at Avery. "Good morning," he mumbled. Avery was applying a final touch on her makeup. "Tell me, Grey, where do you work? And what position do you hold?" Grey blinked once, at her questions. "SU world and I'm the manager," he got out of bed. "So," she turned to look at him. "You influenced Mr. Alfred to make you a manager? Nice one, Grey. It seems like you are really desperate!" Grey sighed. "I don't know what you are talking about. I'm only anxious to get to work," and he walked inside the bathroom. When he walked out, Avery wasn't in anymore. He got dressed and hurried out. The family was just having breakfast when he worked out. Tho
Grey stared down at the picture on Avery's phone. It was the image of when he was speaking to her and had his hand on her shoulders. And there were more pictures. It looks like whoever had sent the images really did a great job taking every shot. Grey looked up at Avery and raised skeptical brows. "Is there more to the picture?" His voice was calm and he didn't seem bothered by it. Avery scoffed. "No, you tell me, Grey. Why is Caramel your girlfriend for the party?" Grey sighed. " I have no idea what you are talking about because as far as I'm concerned, you gave Caramel the permission to take me out, even without discussing it with me," he took a step closer and placed the phone in her hands. "I don't really have time for this. I need to get to work as fast as possible." Avery felt a quick rush of adrenaline and a stab of annoyance. "You are not going anywhere, Grey. We are not done talking," she complained with an expression as hard as a rock. " I said Caramel could take you out
Grey actually thought only Alfred had membership cards. He didn't know that Hercules had his. Well, he heard from Charles that his father had a lot of businesses. With the card, he could get anything for free. A smile appeared on his face when he remembered that Avery's birthday was near and he didn't even have any clothes to wear. He might have to visit any of Hercules' stores later on. Not that he doesn't have the money obviously, it was something that he wanted to enjoy. Even though he doesn't know if the relationship between him and Avery will get better by then. Her birthday was just in a week. Grey pulled the small iron box to himself. Since he wasn't really busy, he might use the opportunity to go through his father's assets. The files on top were arranged differently. When he perused them, he realized that it was about his father's shares in other companies. He couldn't believe his eyes. His father owns a lot of companies but he still has shares in other companies. He
