CHAPTER 64
Chapter 64: Record of truth
Grey sighed and tried to calm himself. He was getting angry for no reason. He walked towards the bedroom and opened the door slowly
Avery was by the make-up desk and wiping off the make-up from her face.
“I thought you were not coming today as well,” she said as Grey closed the door lightly
Grey groaned and moved towards the closet “Nice to see you too,’ he responded and got a new pair of clothes. He felt so tired that he thought a bath would help him.
“It’s not funny that you avoided my calls because of Caramel? She brought it up
Grey sighed and stopped walking to look behind her. “I’m sure Caramel called to inform you what the whole thing was all about?”
Avery fumed and looked back at Grey. “Tell me then where you have been going all this while? And why are you always coming home late?” She bombarded.
“I got home earlier today, didn’t 17” He demanded.
Well, you didn’t come home at all yesterday,” she fired back.
“And what exactly does that mean to you, Avery? You don’t even let me act like a husband i can’t even hug you, talkless of kissing you Why do you want me at home then?” Grey felt frustrated and stressed
Avery scoffed and regarded him for a moment. “You are wearing one of those cheap suits again,” she hissed. Do you think you are up to my standard?”
Grey chuckled. “So, what’re your standards?” And he wondered if Hercules would be considered her type
Avery thought about it for a moment. It was so funny that she had always been working and too busy to think about what her standard was Though she was a rich girl and a beautiful one at that, so everyone had always thought her standard was high
“Let me guess,” Grey said quickly before Avery would say something “Handsome, Rich, high reputation? What else?’ He scoffed.” I’m sure you will add intelligence to it because some guys lack it, his voice evolved into a whisper He was purposely referring to Chris
Avery laughed and turned away to check her face in the mirror ‘So, do you think you match my standard in any way?”
Well, Grey was good-looking, there was no doubl about it but Avery was trying very hard to make him rethink his physical features
I have nothing to say to you concerning that. Meanwhile, I heard you have plans tomorrow,” he brought up instead, to change the topic
Avery nodded briefly ” It’s my birthday. I deserve it!
Grey felt a stab of annoyance. With Chris?
” What does it matter to you?” She was done for bed but she took her phone instead and was going through it “We both didn’t want this marriage to start with. I’m only looking for ways to get out of it
Grey couldn’t believe his ears. Avery got angry about him and Caramel but she was ready to go out with Chris
Do you know that you aren’t making any sense?” Grey started, softly “You got angry because I was with Carainel but you chose to go out with Chris?”
Avery stood up, with a smile on her face She walked towards Grey and stopped before him
“I’m not worried about you, Grey, she placed her hands on her waist and watched him.” I’m worried about myself I’m Avery Robinson. What are you? She hesitated but continued when Grey didn’t talk. “And Caramel knows about this. I can’t risk people tagging me with you after the divorce,” she explained.
Grey stared at her with an expressionless face. But people can see you with Chris?
* Yes,’ she admitted, with a nod ‘He’s a good man and he’s rich too He would take good care of me.”
Grey scoffed, Chris? A good man? Someone that threatened me just now?”
* And why will he threaten you? Stop exaggerating Grey I’m trying to make this better for both of us. We both don’t want this marriage and we must get out of it, she laid emphasis on the word ‘marriage’
I want this marriage! Grey wanted to scream, at least till they found the spy But he bit it back immediately
Grey let out a sigh instead. If you really want to go out tomorrow because of your birthday, then I can volunteer to take you out.”
Avery regarded him for a moment in total disbeliel “Stop kidding yourself. Grey We both know you don’t have the money to get me a ring. Talkless of taking me out. You don’t need to act tough in my presence.” she expressed and walked to the bed “You won’t even get your first salary because of the advance, her voice was teasing
Grey didnt even know what to say to her Avery loves too many material things
“Chris promised to take me out He’s taking me to 5 stars, one of Hercules’s restaurants,” she said excitedly
“You mean at my restaurant?” Hercules looked away and muttered underneath his breath
What did you say?”
Grey shook his head quickly “That doesn’t even matter I can take you out and promise to get you a ring if you don’t go out with Chris,” he proposed
” I’m not interested in the offer. I will rather go with Chris He’s the best!’ She admitted even though her heart was saying something else
She doesn’t love Grey but she doesn’t want Chris But she had to flaunt it in front of Grey since he was the one pretending to be caramel’s Boyfriend,
Besides, her mother wanted it to happen more than anything Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
And the third reason was that Chris had a rethink on pulling back from her company It really meant a lot to Avery And considering the fact that she still needed him with the Lion Material company she really wanted to be on his good side. So, she wasn’t really going because of her selfish interest, she was going so that they could talk about signing the contract.
“Avery.” Grey called softly
Avery’s expression hardened as she looked up at him ‘I’m not interested in anything you have to say I’m going to bed, goodnight,” she laid on the bed and pulled the blanket over her body without another word.
Grey stared at her for a moment. 11 looked like Emma was finally getting successful in her plans No wonder she was so sure the other time.
After Grey was done showering, he suddenly felt sick in his stomach. He was suddenly restless and he couldn’t even sleep He was also hungry And he made a mental note to always eat before coming home
He suddenly remembered the cam he noticed on his car and decided to use the available time to check it
up instead Maybe by the time he was done, he would feel sleepy.
But he didn’t expect to see it, to see the video of the guys that kidnapped him. Funnily enough, they looked directly at the cam and it recorded their faces
Seth was going to get ruined if Grey could find the men and make them confess
