CHAPTER 167
Chapter 167: Missed! Avery stood up unconsciously. “What did you just say, Smith? Did you set me up with Grey? What do you mean?” Smith stared at her for a moment.” Yes but it’s over now. You should focus more on Chris.”
Avery felt a stab of annoyance at his words.” You set me up with Grey and you want me to forget about it? Why would you even do that? What was your purpose?”
Smith sighed.” You needed to get a husband, and you were being stubborn.”
“This was your reason for forcing me into a relationship. Was I so young that I had no choice in a relationship and you had to choose for me?” She yelled angrily.
Smith sighed.” Well, it’s really over now. Just forget it, and start thinking of a new life with Chris. At least, we all know that nothing actually happened between you and Grey. You wouldn’t even let him touch you. And well, it wasn’t a public marriage. So, there’s nothing to agree about. I will be going to LX corporation then,” he announced suddenly and went out of the office before Avery would say another word.
Shock kept Avery motionless for a moment. Smith was right anyways. There was nothing to be angry about as she didn’t even allow Grey to touch her. In fact, it wasn’t even considered a marriage, it was more like bondage.
But Avery was suddenly feeling even sadder. She had always accused Grey and made him feel bad at every opportunity that she got, over the fact that she thought it was his fault that they were forced to get married. owns all content.
And it turned out that it was over one of Smith’s tricks. Avery felt very bad about this. What was she supposed to do at that moment?
“So, the open sale would be for three hours. We all know the rules already, right?” Linda initiated.
“Yes, we do!” The workers chorused.
Everyone was dressed in the vest they made especially for the open sale. In fact, workers that wouldn’t be leaving the company also wore their uniforms.
Grey made sure it reached every one of them.
“Common rule is that whoever got three products, either differently or the same, would get a cap. Whoever got five products would get a Vest. Whoever got ten products would get a Vest and a cap.”
Everyone whipped in delight. Everyone was prepared and excited about the sale.
“And there are other tips. We have a lot of discounts at the open sale. Well, a 50% discount for the first customer and the others would stay at a 30% discount,” Linda announced and looked over at Grey as if seeing for permission. Grey smiled and nodded at her briefly “Any worker with great convincing skill would win a MacBook with his or her name on it.”
Everyone whopped in delight, and workers screamed excitedly.
Grey looked up and saw Maria walk inside, with one of the best on. He raised skeptical brows at her as she walked nearer.
“Maria, what are you doing here?”
Maria laughed. “You don’t think I would miss this open sale?” “But you should be at Protos Pubblicita. You are the secretary.” Maria laughed. “I am but importantly, I work for Hercules,” she whispered. “I’m ready to win a MacBook Should we get going?” She said excitedly.
Grey laughed at her energetic behavior.” Great. You should win.”
The car and bus were in the parking space. Grey, Linda, Beatrice, and Maria took the car while the other workers took the bus.
Linda found a nice neighborhood to use the day before. It was Linda’s neighborhood and the neighbors happily invited Victoria Skincare to come over for the open sale.
The moment they pulled over, it looked as though the neighbors were already waiting for open sales. They started to question Linda about the offers and discounts.
While the others made tents, Linda took her time to explain to everyone.
Grey and Beatrice left them and walked to the tree nearby. Actually, Grey felt stuffed.
Beatrice regarded him for a moment. “Are you alright?” Grey nodded briefly. “I’m fine. I was excited about the open sale but it just seemed to have drained all my energy.” Beatrice laughed.” We will get over it.”
Emily walked closer. “Boss, I think you should come now.”
Grey nodded and looked at Beatrice. “Let’s go,” he helped her up and they all walked back to the clustered group of people.
Grey walked to stand beside Linda.
“So, here’s our CEO, Mr. Grey.” “Mr Grey! Is Aphrodite really your ambassador?” One of the people asked. Grey nodded briefly ” She is and it didn’t take us much hard work to let her be our face. She Saw the product and she had massive trust in it. And as our motto goes, your beauty is our priority. We have prepared our products to make you glow as much as you can.” “So, can she come personally?”
Grey nodded once.” She can do that as well. We could have another open sale another time. I’m sure she would be glad to be here,” he assured them.
“Give me one of that cream!” One of the men yelled. “No, I’ın buying first! And I’m getting three I’m going to have that cap!” “We shouldn’t stress or push ourselves. We are spending three hours with you guys and you
should be assured that we came prepared. We in fact have gifts for the best buyers as well,” Grey announced.
A smile broke off at every mouth as Grey walked out from the group.
Smith waited patiently. He knew when the open sale would start and he had sent some meni over. It doesn’t matter if Grey was present. What they would do was simple. They were supposed to chase the people away and cause destruction in one way or the other so that the open sale won’t be successful. His phone rang suddenly, jerking Smith out of his thoughts. It was Chris. “Hi, Smith. Any good news for me?” Smith grinned. “Avery accepted the divorce and, well, Grey had no choice as well. So, Avery is now yours. You should know how to convince her to be with you,” he advised.
Chris was so happy.” That’s a minor thing. What about the other plan?” Just as Smith opened his mouth to say something, his other phone rang suddenly. “Hi, can I call you back? I have a call now. I will let you in on the situation later.” “Alright,” Chris responded and the phone went off. Smith picked up his second phone. “Hello.” “Hello, we’ve been here for an hour now but we can’t find anyone anywhere. This place is as dry as something else. Is there something you aren’t telling us?”
” What do you mean?” Smith was shocked.” There should be a bus or a car somewhere. There should be tents or something. I told you that it was an open sale.” “Well, we are telling you that there’s nothing like that. There’s nothing here. We’ve scouted everywhere and waited for over an hour,” the voice stressed, frustrated. Smith went into shock. What happened and where was Grey?
