CHAPTER 138
Chapter 138: Boss Nora sent the address of where they were supposed to meet that night. Actually, Grey felt somehow about it. He couldn’t place it but it felt strange that Nora would call him out.
Well, if she was really sober and wanted to beg Grey to give her a job, then she would have done it during the day. For the fact that Nora specifically selected a venue and the time, Grey knew that she was trying to get back at Grey.
She must have thought of a way to get back to Grey. Grey didn’t know how or how far she had gone but he was sure that something was off somewhere.
“Is something wrong?” Linda’s question jotted him out of his thoughts. He looked at her and shook his head slowly. “Everything is fine. I will leave now and check up on you guys later,” he informed her. Just as he turned to walk deeper into the company, Beatrice walked out with Emily
“I will need help with the ingredients,” She announced. “Oh, I will call some of these men. They will help out, that is if you are not in a hurry,” Linda informed. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Grey looked at Beatrice. “You should wait for them. I will leave now then. I need to meet up with SU world,” he announced.
“I will drive you back to SU world,” Beatrice offered. Grey shook his head.” I will take a cab,” he dipped his hand into his trouser for his debit card and stretched it out to Beatrice. Beatrice took it from him and nodded. “Drive well.”
“I will, just inform me if anything goes wrong,” and with that, Grey walked out of the company.
Nora had discussed with Tracy how the plan was supposed to go. The only thing Nora was supposed to do was to move too close to Grey for comfort or she could even kiss Grey and everything would be settled. She would get her money. Tracy would be around somewhere to take the pictures.
Nora couldn’t stop thinking about the money.
“Has he agreed to see you?” Tracy asked.
Nora nodded once.” I just don’t know if it’s the right thing to do.”
Tracy smiled. ” Of course, it is. I mean Grey will never accept you. You can make your money here and think of a nice business before you find yourself another nice man. You are a beautiful girl and it would be very easy for you,” she explained.
Grey pulled to a stop at the parking place. Grey came earlier than he had agreed with Nora. If something was going to happen, he needed to see it for himself.
He didn’t see anything weird except for the fact that Nora had a great talk with Tracy, her best friend.
It wasn’t weird but Grey found it suspicious. Nora didn’t tell him that she was going to invite Tracy. That aside, Nora was aware of the fact that Grey doesn’t like Tracy.
So, if she was there that night. It could only mean that Nora was up with her tricks again.
Grey got down from the car and entered the bar.
He easily sighted Nora from where she was but his gaze searched around for Tracy and found her, a few tables away, with some bottles of soft juice. Grey found it weird again. However, he moved closer to Nora.
Nora stood the moment he was near. “Hi, Grey,” she said softly, like someone who was guilty of something. “Hi, did you come with anyone? I mean who dropped you off?” Grey asked casually, to hear what she was going to say. “No one came with me,” Nora lied.
It was at this point that it was crystal clear that Nora had laid a trap for him but he didn’t know what the trap was all about. He just had to be very careful. Grey nodded briefly and sat. “Sit then,” he offered. Nora shook her head briefly. “How can I sit, knowing that I have cornmitted great sins against you,” she acknowledged in a soft voice. Was she going to apologize? Was that the only reason she came? And had to lie
about Tracy? Grey didn’t believe it, he would never believe anything that Nora told him.
She made him a fool once but it would never happen again. Grey would never allow it.
“Alright but sit and let’s talk. I don’t want people around giving me shitty looks.”
Nora nodded once and pulled her chair closer to his, somehow drawing closer to Grey before she sat. Grey noted the movement and relaxed back in his seat while crossing his long legs. “So, let’s talk. Why do you want to see me?”
Nora went shut for some minutes as if thinking of how to start or what to say. Seth was gone, maybe that was why she was looking for another means of survival. Nora would never stop to amuse him. She was always practical and crafty. She was fit for Seth and fit to go down the drain with him.
“I’m sorry for everything I have caused you. I’m really sorry. Please, find a place in your heart to forgive me,” she declared.
Grey regarded her for a moment. “Alright, I’m not angry. What do you want exactly?”
She went silent for another moment.” I want us to go back to how we used to be, “she revealed eventually.
Grey smiled softly.” Well, that’s not possible, Nora. You do know that I am married, right?”
Nora nodded briefly and played with her fingers. “Then, let’s be friends. Please.” Grey watched her for another moment. “Friends? Alright, no problem.” Nora looked away, towards the direction where Tracy was. She looked unsettled.” Can I kiss you?”
Grey smiled again. “Tell me, Nora, what you want exactly. I might not have the power to do anything but do you know what Avery would do if she discovered that we kissed in marriage? But if there’s anything you want, you can just tell me.” Nora felt very anxious and her heart was beating even faster. She thought of what to do. Should she let him know what was really happening? Or not?
