CHAPTER 37
Chapter 37: Fired from work
Grey went back to J.K company, Everyone was surprised that Grey was suddenly back after he had been fired by the manager. If Alfred makes Grey continue working at his company or makes him a manager, then everyone would know how close these two have become. People were curiously waiting for the outcome.
“Do you know what working in your company will do to me!” Grey questioned. He sat on the cushion in front of Alfred
“I’ve thought about it for a while as well but I can’t let an ordinary manager insult you. I want everyone to know you are at least not the lowest,” he indicated in a pained way.
* Why? Grey was shocked. “Why do you suddenly want me to work in my company? You have never mentioned my company to me. Why do so now?”
Alfred went silent again.” I just got some information. Giovanni just met with the main secretary of your company.”
Grey stared back at the suites.” You have a spy around Clarion?”
“Yes,” he admitted. “I’m trying to find who is giving us out. And I must say that Giovanni must be doing the exact thing. I don’t know but I’m feeling bad that your main secretary is seeing Giovanni.”
Grey thought for another moment, ‘Does she know about the Eminent Mafia group?”
* No, she doesn’t,”
Grey thought about it quickly. “I would rather work at my company than jeopardize everything. It’s not the time to let them know I’m so much acquainted with you. Not after I get the spy and everyone that
conspired to have my father’s killed,” he explained strongly.
Alfred let out a sigh.” That’s fine then. But I’m still going to sack the manager,” he said stubbornly. For disrespecting you so much.”
Grey smiled sideways, pleased.” Yes, you should teach him a lesson,” he took a sip of the coffee that was brought inside by Jane.
Jane now respects Grey, though she wondered who Grey really was and also waited for the outcome of Grey’s meeting with Alfred to confirm it
“But,” Grey started again. “Do you think Giovanni is foolish to meet with my secretary during the day when he knew that you could be watching? It could be what he wanted,” he informed.
” Why do you think he met with Rose then? He wouldn’t do that unless he’s an acquaintance of his.”
Yes,” Grey stood and moved towards the window. It was the closing hour and Avery would drive in at any moment. “But he wouldn’t do that in broad daylight. He would rather meet her at night in one of the suites. Something is off somewhere, I know it,” he declared, This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“He must be trying to lure us into something.” Alfred confirmed.
A car drove inside and Grey smiled when he saw that it was Avery. He turned to look at Alfred. “Perhaps he’s trying to make us think that Rose is really the spy. The main spy is still somewhere and I’m going to do all it takes to find out,” he explained with determination.” So yes, I will transfer to my company.”
The best way to get to the root of the matter was to move closer to the problem. Since no one knew him, he would try to mingle with a lot of people to draw out the truth. It could take months but Grey was optimistic
“I will arrange the transfer letter and make a declaration here that someone else will take the manager’s
Job
Grey nodded, pleased by Alfred’s decision.
When Grey walked into the lobby, the news of his sack letter had spread like wildfire. All the workers were happy that he was fired. Cindy was pleased with the turn of things. Even though the previous manager was sacked as well, she was glad that Alfred wasn’t taking his side.
Jane was disappointed and thought that Grey had just fallen out of favor with Alfred
Grey heard some whisperings around him as he walked out of the lobby. He met Cindy in the parking lot.
‘Seriously? I thought you were more than that.” She laughed.
Grey sighed. You must be so happy that I have been fired
“Well, why won’t 1? It seemed like what a normal human would be. But, I am still confused about something. How were you able to pay for our bills at the reunion?’ She took a step closer.” You don’t look like someone who lives such an extravagant life.”
“lowed no one an explanation of how to run my life,” Grey expressed strongly
Cindy scoffed and stepped back “Sure, you don’t. Since you wouldn’t want anyone to know that Avery Robinson is your wife and she had been the one clothing and feeding you’ in fact, she gave you money you paid at the reunion party.”
Grey was skeptical for a moment “What? That’s hilarious!” Cindy has cooked up a nice excuse. It was feasible but it wasn’t true
Cindy smiled, “She’s waiting for you already Lowlives shouldn’t keep their master waiting forever,” she gestured at Avery who was watching them with an unclear expression
And with that, Cindy walked back inside the company without even waiting for more explanation from Grey
It was how everyone at the company felt anyway. Though they didn’t know he was married to Avery.
He walked towards Avery. “Hi,” he greeted with a smile.
Avery regarded him for a moment and threw him the key
Grey gave her a skeptical look. “What is this for?
Avery sighed “You sincerely don’t expect me to drive you home? I thought a husband with a job has pride, I didn’t know a husband without a job is the most arrogant. If you aren’t going to drive, then get out of here,” she said, deadpanned.
Grey’s eyes widened with surprise. “How did you know?
Avery gave him a dirty look and moved to the passenger’s seat.
Grey sighed and moved to the driver’s seat. He knew that the workers must have been gossiping about him in front of Avery. They didn’t know anyways that Avery was his wife
“What did you do to Alfred this time? Why did he fire you?” Avery badgered him suddenly.
Grey felt the heat emanating from her. He knew that Avery was angry already.
“Did you suddenly fall out of favor? Like I’ve prophesied it would?” She scoffed. ” I’m really ashamed i mean you had no shame and you did things carelessly thinking that Alfred would back you up at all times.”
Grey sighed and decided to play along “I did my best as the husband I shouldn’t be getting insulted. You
should try to encourage me,” he explained sadly.
Avery scoffed. Seriously? You want me to encourage you? You are just joking and I must repeat to you that I have guys that are more capable than you are. It doesn’t have to be you and I regret everything. If I could turn back the time in the tide, I would never have been at that hotel.”
Grey looked at him. We did it together, Avery. I wasn’t the only one involved in this. You shouldn’t blame me.”
“Oh, I sure will! You ruined my life,” she yelled at him.” You could have stepped back. You could have held your trousers, you could have held yourself, none of this would have happened if you had been careful!” She contended.
Grey shook his head slowly. “I was drunk,” he was still looking at Avery, his heart ached at every word Sure, sleeping with Avery was the biggest mistake and Avery doesn’t want to stop reminding him of it.
“Pull over!” Avery yelled suddenly and Grey complied quickly, though his traitorous heart was still hammering in his chest.
A Pagani Zonda car pulls up in front of them and Chris emerges from it. There was a nice smile on Avery’s face and it looked like Chris was coming over to their side.
