CHAPTER 472: TOO LATE

Grey watched him for a moment, unable to comprehend it all.He didn’t know what he was supposed to make of her.

Avery was being stubborn as usual.

She didn't even care if it was going to cause her trouble.

Though Grey wasn’t in any relationship with her, he didn't want her to die.

If Grey tried to do it the normal way, it’s either Avery gets to discover the secret he was keeping or she gets in danger and Grey doesn't want any of the options.

Grey released a sigh, while still watching Avery with a confused look.

Avery was disturbed.

Though, her mind was made up already but she desperately wanted Grey to accept her proposal.

And it doesn’t even matter if Grey was going to accept to work for her, she was still going to find out who David was to Maximo, secretly.

Grey cleared his throat meaningfully.

"What position are you going to offer me?"

"My secretary," she muttered.

Grey chuckled.

"For real? Are you kidding?"

"Why?" Avery pouted funnily.

"A guy can’t be a secretary to a lady? Is that so bad? Are you a masochist?" she attacked.

Grey laughed.

"I'm not! It’s just rare.It makes it look weird.I can be anything instead of a secretary."

Avery was happy at the statement.

"Does that mean you have accepted to work for me?"

To be on the safer side, Grey nodded once.

"Maybe but I’m still going to watch you and see if you will make an excellent boss." Avery smiled.

"I will show you how excellent I can be.Also, you can’t work in another office because the main aim of making you a secretary is to help me and stay close to me.I'm just about to bring up another office in Italy, and we would be needing an office and employees." Grey released a sigh.

"Alright, I'm in.Anything else? Or should we call it a night?"

Avery shook her head briefly.

"Not yet.I will be right back," she walked inside.

Grey used the opportunity to reason for his early decision. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Was he right in agreeing with her or not? It was difficult to know what was right, especially when Avery was concerned.He just had to hope that everything goes well and he was able to return to Jacksonville before things worsen.

"Here," Avery said suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts. She stretched out a file.

"Here."

Grey regarded it for a moment before he looked up at Avery again.

"What is this?"

"We are going to seal the deal at this moment.You are going to sign the papers to show you have really agreed to work for me."Grey was shocked.

"What? You had everything prepared already?" Avery smiled.

"I knew you would agree with me.I believe in myself."

"And I have to sign it today? This isn’t even an office setting, it’s a suite."

Avery shrugged slightly.

"It doesn’t really matter as long as both partners decide to proceed with it.Besides, how am I sure you wouldn't change your mind before tomorrow morning? With this, I will be assured." Grey held her gaze for a moment.

"I don’t go back on my word," he said truthfully and in a much deeper voice.

Avery swallowed harder at this.She felt as though she was standing in front of Grey.She loved the feeling she was having.She was specifically happy because it reminded her so much of Grey and how much she loved him.

Grey took the file and walked inside.

"I'm sure you have a pen because I won't spend more than five minutes here.You've finished your allocated time."

Avery grinned, pleased, and followed him.She retrieved a pen and moved closer to Grey who was at the dining.

"I do have a pen.There are some clauses there but since it’s not something bad, you can skip it so that you can leave this place quickly," she explained and stretched out a pen to him.

Grey ignored her and took the pen instead.He skipped through the papers quickly and only sighed where it was required.He looked at her again.

"Am I free now?"

Avery looked down at the paper as if to be sure that he really signed.

"You are supposed to resume tomorrow."

Grey scoffed and dropped the pen.

"I’m resuming on Monday," he turned around and didn't wait for her to say more before he walked out of the room.

Avery didn’t bother to follow him.She got what she wanted anyways and she was more than overjoyed about it.

Grey released a sigh as he walked out of the suite.His phone rang suddenly.It was Charles.

Grey picked it up immediately.

"Speak, Charles."

"The boss is dead but how do we do it? Giovanni might suspect that something is wrong if these men don't return to Jacksonville," he expressed his concern.

"I know and I have already planned it out.Just find the boss’ phone and meet me at home.I will tell you the rest when we see," he assured.

Charles released a sigh.

"Alright, I will do just that.See you at home," he finished and the line went off.

When Grey entered the parking space, he sighted his men leaning against his car.He moved closer to them.

"Was it a success?"

"Ves boss," the men chorused at the same time.

Grey entered the car and released an exasperated sigh.

"Book a flight for me tomorrow morning."

"Yes, boss."

His phone rang again.It was Maximo.

Grey groaned inwardly, slightly upset.

Maximo just left the suites, he wasn’t supposed to be calling him so soon unless he wasn't able to get to Avery.

Could something have happened to her? Well, he doubted it since Maximo already ensured her safety.

"Hello, Maximo.Is everything alright?"

"Not really, Grey.Alex just called me."

Grey gathered his brows.

"Yes, what happened? Did he say something?"

Maximo went quiet for a moment as if contemplating how to proceed.

"Alex knows you are alive and in Italy."
