CHAPTER 131
Chapter 131: Pushed Grey got home earlier that day, as he didn’t bother returning to work
After he left Beatrice’s place, he placed a call to Gregory and asked him about a nice car for Beatrice and he promised to get it delivered to her that evening. “It wasn’t funny, but I laughed,” Chloe laughed. Grey heard Chloe’s voice as he stepped inside, only to realize that Chloe and Avery were inside the house already. And they were chatting “And he finally rose in,” Chloe said dramatically when she saw Grey, there was a smirk on her face.
Avery looked up, with surprising features. She must be shocked that Grey came home earlier.
“Hi,” Grey whispered and walked inside.
He knew as he walked in, that Chloe was saying nasty things about him but he didn’t care. He was more than tired and he needed to sleep.
His phone rang suddenly, the number unknown but Grey picked it up anyways.
“Hello boss, this is Jimmy,” the voice revealed. “Oh, yes. Do you have anything for me?” “Yes, Boss. I’ve gotten what you asked of me. When would you like to have them?” Grey thought for a moment.” I will pick you up tomorrow morning on my way to work. You should get me the copy I asked for as well so that I would be able to employ your men into different perspectives,” he informed him.
“Alright, boss. And thank you so much for taking care of my son,” he expressed deeply. “You are welcome, I will talk to you later then,” he finished up and hung up.
The morning came too early for Grey as he still felt so tired. Yet, he got up earlier to prepare for work
“Hey, where’s it?” Avery asked suddenly
Grey turned to look at her, with skeptical brows.” Where’s what?”
Avery looked somehow upset and Grey wondered what had actually happened.
“Wait what do you have other jobs that you do? Why are you always coming home at weird hours”
Grey sighed and turned towards the mirror. He continued with his tie. “I’m trying to survive.” “So, where did you put the suit I gifted you? Why were you in different clothes?” Her voice was too cool as if she didn’i care
“Are you angry about it?” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Avery hulted. “I am anything but angry. Why would i be angry anyways? Just come out in time
and stop speaking in gibberish,” she said coldly and walked out of the room. Grey regarded her for a moment and let out a sigh. He would retrieve the suit from Alfred later that day anyway.
That’s it! I was shocked when I saw it on social media as well,” Sunith remarked.
Grey moved to his seat.” Good morning.”
“Who would have thought that Audrey would die?” Emma said suddenly, ignoring Grey’s greetings.” Despite how powerful he was?”
“I’m telling you. The news was a shocker,” Benjamin admitted, with a terror expression.
“But who could have done it? Who could have killed him?” Avery inquired, confused.
Grey kept mute as they continued to talk, not even interested in joining in the conversation.
Lucy was however watching Grey calmly. “Grey, did you say you got the wristwatch with the money you won from the lottery?” He asked suddenly.
Grey looked up at him.” Yes, I did.”
Smith laughed. “I’m sure it’s an imitation. Uncle, did you check it out?”
Lucy groaned inwardly.” It was a real wristwatch and it cost 11 million dollars.”
“What! That’s huge!” Emma exclaimed softly.” Are you sure he didn’t steal it?”
“Mom!” Avery turned to look at Emma. Even though she was shocked by the news, she would never admit to the fact that Grey might have stolen it.
“What! I’m telling the truth! We need to be sure! How could a low man like him spend all his lottery money on a wristwatch?”
Grey shrugged slightly.” I just wanted to get grandfather Lucy a nice wristwatch. So, I spent it all.”
Lucy felt touched by his words.
“But mom, Grey works as the manager,” Avery combated. Emma laughed. “For now. Who knows when he would be fired? Besides, he hasn’t been able to earn a penny. I’m just sorry for his poor ass.”
Grey stood up immediately. “I need to leave now,” and he walked out of the house quickly.
He placed a call to Jimmy as he pulled out into the street. “I’m visiting the hospital. Meet me there. We can go out together,” he informed him.
“Yes boss,” Jimmy responded with respect.
Grey hung up and placed a call to Don.
“Hello Boss, good morning.”
“I need live men to accompany Beatrice wherever she wishes to go today. So, I need them today,” he voiced.
“Alright, I will arrange them. Where should they meet with Beatrice?” Grey thought for a moment.” I will send you Beatrice’s address. They can meet her at home
and listen to whatever she tells them to. She needs to get some ingredients and it’s urgent,” he explained.
“Alright, boss. Copied,” he replied. Grey hesitated.” Send Richard to the hospital. I would like to speak with him,” and with that, he hung up He had a lot of places to get to that day. He needed to go ahead with changing the company’s names and it was at that moment that Linda came to his mind.
Just as he picked up the phone to call her, his phone rang but it was Jane. Grey regarded the caller ID for a moment. Why was Jane calling him at such an hour? He picked it up nevertheless. “Good morning sir.”
“Yes, good morning. Is there anything you want to discuss with me?” Jane went silent for a moment. “Yes sir, I would like to discuss with you, Grey. I don’t know if you are less busy to hear me out.” Grey head did a flip. Seriously? He found a nice place to park. “Yes, I’m listening. You may continue,” he urged her on. Jane cleared her throat meaningfully. “I wanted to let you know that Grey was absent at work yesterday and I didn’t know if you sent him anywhere. I mean, that doesn’t mean he could leave work or be absent at any time.”
Grey smiled softly.” So? Wait, how did you know about this?” “I was informed by one of his staff. And I think his behavior would cause SU world to go down the drain,” she expressed. “So,” Grey inclined his head to the other side and waited. “What do you suggest?” “Well, I think he’s not serious with his work and I would like for you to fire him,” she announced
Grey’s head spun al that word. He knew without anyone telling him that someone pushed Jane to work
Who could it be? Chris? Definitely. Seth was gone already.
