CHAPTER 487: ANGER 

Chapter 487: Anger

Avery was ready a few minutes before 8 and was patiently waiting for Grey.

The stylist who she later knew to be Cara, hasn't gotten back to her even though she gave her a number that she could contact.

Well, maybe she hasn't seen anything about Grey.But Avery was anxious about it.She couldn't wait to know what was really happening.

A soft knock sounded on the door and Avery was certain that it was David.She took her bag and walked out of the room.

It was really David.She didn't say anything as she walk past him after throwing the car keys at him.She was inside the car before Grey would move closer.

"Good morning," Grey muttered as he got behind the wheel.

"I don't see anything good in the morning," Avery muttered and stared out through the window. Grey noticed the change in her mood.

"Is everything alright?"

"We are seeing an important investor.You should drive.I don't want to be late."

"Avery?"Grey called softly but no answer came from Avery.He changed his mind about starting the engine and instead turned to look at Avery.

"Are you alright? Did something happen?"

"Nothing happened.Just start the car and let’s get out of here," she stressed.

Grey regarded her for a moment, "I won't start it if you don't say anything." All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Avery looked at him.

"Would you rather I take a cab? You know, I can go there without your help."

Grey released a sigh and turned away.

After so much hesitation, he revved the car back to life and drove out of the parking space.

Avery released an exasperated sigh and lean against the door.

"Are you worried about meeting him?"

"No," Avery muttered.

"Are you sick?"

"No," Avery whispered.

Grey felt exhausted.

"Then what the heck is wrong with you, Avery?"

"None of your business, David.Just drive, isn't that what I employed you for?"

Even though Grey loved the feeling that being quiet felt to him, he couldn't help but be worried about Avery.He wondered if something had really happened to her.

Or perhaps, someone threatened her.

Yes, he wasn't supposed to be so curious and in fact, minding his business would help him a lot.

At least, Avery would stop trying to get answers from him.

But Grey was greatly worried.

"Do you plan on talking to me today? I mean about what is happening with you?"

There were a few minutes of hesitation from Avery's side.

"I don't think so."

"Why?"

"Why?"

Avery chuckled.

"Stop the car," she announced suddenly.

"Wait a moment, what?"

"You heard me, David.No matter how strong you are, I'm still your boss.So now, stop this damn car!" She yelled.

Grey nodded once and found a nice spot.

Just as he pulled over, Avery opened the door and got out.

"You can choose to go back home or you can meet me at the suite.You are familiar with it, anyways."

Grey watched her with a curious gaze.

"What are you saying? Where are you going?"

"Taking a cab," she walked away.

Grey got out of the car and hurried towards her.

"What are you doing? I can drive you there.I mean wasn't that why you called me last night?"

Avery looked at him.

"Right, that's why I just changed my mind," she flagged down a taxi.

Grey looked at the driver and shook his head briefly.

"She's not going," he made a wave of his hand because the driver didn't seem to understand him.

"What are you doing!" Avery fired, angrily.

"You need to tell me what made you like this.What's upsetting you? Did anyone try to get on your bad side?"

Avery made to walk away, but Grey pulled her to a sudden stop.

Avery felt electric raced through her, it was the same.

"Talk to me, Avery!"

Grey muttered in a thick voice, exhausted as well.

Avery regarded him for a moment, longer than she should.

"You are fired!" She announced.

Grey was dumbfounded.He didn't know what was so wrong but he remembered informing the special members that Avery was important to this mission.He was going to use her.

It wasn't yet the time to let her go.Even though he was yet to figure out how Avery was going to agree to go back to Jacksonville, he knew that staying was the first thing.

"You said_," Grey started but Avery cut him off.

"I said nothing.I will get rid of the contract.You are fired," she repeated and yanked her hand away from him.

She took a step forward and hesitated.

"No," she muttered and reached for the special members’ business card.

She walked back to Grey and placed it on his chest, letting it drop to the floor.

"Avery, have you lost your mind? What are you doing?"

"Yes, I must!" She yelled suddenly.

"If not, I wouldn't have employed you in the first place.I wouldn't have compared you to him." Grey raised skeptical brows.

"Him?"

Avery licked his gaze for a few minutes.

"Who are you really, David."

Grey continued to stare at her, still shocked at her sudden change of behavior.It was as if she was possessed.

"You act as if you aren't concerned about anything but yourself.Well, maybe I was like that, and I'm currently reaping what I had sowed but it was a bad idea to have decided to start a branch of my business here.It will never work out.That, I just discovered.There's no point.I'm leaving tomorrow morning!" She revealed.

"What?"

Grey got angry.

"So, you are going to run away? Just because you don't feel well?"

"You have no right to say that to me! You caused all this!" She pointed an accusing finger at him.

"And so what? You are going to stop because of me? Would you say I made you stop if someone interrogated you in the future? Does it even make any sense to you ears?"

Avery was taken aback.

"What?"

"Do you like running a lot? Then you will never stop running! Tell me what the problem is, then we will solve it."

Avery was watching him in silence.

Due to the fact that Grey was angry, he mistakenly disregarded his disguised voice.He just sounded like Grey to Avery's ears and she couldn't believe it.

"Do you hear me?"

Grey jerked her out of her thoughts.

"Why aren't you talking?"

Avery shook her head briefly.

"You know nothing about me, David.You have no right to tell me I have been running."

"Like I said earlier, Avery.I know you like you know yourself.Now, you don't have any choice but to tell me what all this is really about."
