CHAPTER 192
Chapter 192: The Deal “Why didn’t you tell me, Avery?” Emma asked softly.
It was breakfast and as usual, the family of Robinson was all together.
Emma had investigated Grey and discovered that he was truly the owner of Victoria Skincare. She didn’t believe Grey could make it so fast but she remembered what Avery told her about how close Alfred was to him. But she didn’t see it coming.
“There was no usefulness,” Avery whispered.
“Tell you what?” Benjamin raised skeptical brows at Emma. When she didn’t talk, he looked over at Avery.” Is something happening that I don’t know about?”
Emma looked at Benjamin.” Didn’t you know? That Grey is the CEO of Victoria Skincare?”
Benjamin’s eyes went wide in shock.” You mean the fast-rising cream company?” Smith huffed. “There’s nothing to be so shocked about. He’s eventually going down. Do you think he’s skilled in management?”
” He might not but he has people working for him. And he’s currently the supervisor of Protos Pubblicita. You told me that yourself.” She pointed accusing fingers at him. “Seriously?” Lucy looked up from the food he was eating. “What did I just hear about Grey? He owns Victoria Skincare?”
Emma nodded briefly.” He does. I mean Victoria is number one on social media. He’s almost taking over Hattie’s company,” she revealed.
Smith looked over at Lucy quickly.” Don’t worry, uncle. I will do all in my power to make sure we lead this time. We will definitely win the award this time, I promised,” he assured.
He thought that Lucy was depressed because LX wasn’t making progress. Hattie had been leading them over the years which has been so disappointing. And Smith was going to prove to Lucy that he was capable of doing it. Maybe he would eventually be made the overall head of the company. Lucy was actually shocked at the news. He didn’t expect Grey to be making such fast progress. Though, he knew that Grey was a good man. Lucy couldn’t stop thinking of the fact that Grey won the lottery and brought such an expensive wristwatch just to please him. The act actually earned his respect. “I always knew he was destined for something great,” Benjamin said suddenly. Einmacraned her neck to look at him, shocked for a moment. “Are you kidding? He’s kicking against us. Is this the right time to be saying something like that?”
“Mom!” Avery called, a bit annoyed.” Stop that.” She stressed, tiredly. Smith scoffed, “It seeins like someone is regretting a divorce,”
Avery gave him a dirty stare.” What’s that supposed to mean?”
Smith smiled softly, “You and I both know what I’m talking about.”
Avery felt a stab of annoyance. “You liad better shut your mouth or I will shut it for you!” She
snarled. Lucy looked at Avery.” Avery, watch the way you speak to your brother,” he scolded softly. Avery rolled her eyes. ” I’m leaving,” she stood up without waiting for replies and walked out of the house.
Emma looked at Smith. “You will learn how to shut your mouth or I will be the one to shut it for you!” She warned. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Grey stared down at himself from the mirror. His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his reverie. It was Linda.
“Good morning, Boss.” Grey took his briefcase and walked downstairs. He took a while that morning to get set because he visited the gym to see Alex but he couldn’t find him. He waited and eventually had to leave after exercising. So, Beatrice left the house before him, and well, he was already late for work. “Good morning, Linda. Is everything alright?” “Not really. Hattie is here to see you,” she revealed.
Grey pulled to a sudden stop as he was about to open the car door. “What? The same Hattie?” “Yes, boss, and she wouldn’t leave even when I told her that you weren’t around. I think you need to come here as fast as you can,” she suggested.
Grey’s head did a flip and a question popped up in his head. “Alright, I will be there as fast as I can. Tell my mother to stay away from her and she’s not supposed to let Hattie see her.” He warned. A sigh escaped Linda.” Too late, Grey. They’ve already met and it was the reason why I had to call you,” she informed him.
Grey’s head flew away for a moment.” What the fuck!” He exclaimed softly but he soon became sober. “Don’t worry, I will be there soon.” He finished up and hung up.
He wondered at first why Hattie was in his company. She must have been curious about the recipe. Well, it was a perfect one. Victoria had the perfect recipe.
But there was no way Hattie wouldn’t know where the recipe had come from after meeting Beatrice. Grey knew he would have to increase the guards around Beatrice and also safeguard the recipe
He drove right towards Victoria Skincare,
He wondered however what Hattle would be planning at that moment. Would she kidnap Beatrice or threaten her to drop the recipe? Well, none of it would happen because Grey was involved at that moment and he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to Beatrice. Grey pulled to a stop at his favorite parking space. Linda walked to him the moment he stepped into the lobby.
“Welcome Boss.”
Grey nodded briefly. “Where is my mother?”
“In the warehouse,” she supplied. Grey nodded briefly before he walked into the elevator with Linda. “Do you have any idea why an opposition company would want to see you?” Linda was still shocked.
Grey shrugged slightly.”Only one way to find out,” he responded and stepped out of the elevator while Linda followed behind.
They both walked inside the CEO’s office where Hattie sat while two men stood beside her. “Why are you here,” Grey questioned as he made his way to the seat. Linda walked to stand beside him. Hattie regarded Grey for a moment with eyes that could look into one’s soul. “I didn’t expect to see Victoria rise so fast. And I didn’t expect you to meet with Grey for an ambassador job.” Grey siniled softly.” Would you or Giovanni be my ambassador if I had asked nicely?” Hartie smirked.” You are really an intelligent guy. That’s why I’m here with a deal that would be very favorable to you,” she sat up, regarding Grey for another moment. “Sell the recipe to me, I will buy it for any amount that you want.” Grey couldn’t believe his cars.
