Chapter 52: A tum

Chris laughed “Well, I would love to come here often but I’m bothered about your daughter’s husband,” he hinted as if he was really concerned

“Well, fortunately for you! They will be getting a divorce soon.” Emma expressed with a wide smile.

Avery tned to smile

“Wow, that’s nice, Chris looked over at Avery, his gaze flickering around her for a moment in an enigmatic way “Can I take you out tomorrow?” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Avery looked up to him and tried to reject but her mother was already speaking

“That would be tantastic! She encouraged her

Grey 1ook several steps closer to them before they could notice him “Greetings,’ he mumbled

Gazes turned towards him

Emma hissed “He finally rose in the incompetent husband just arrived,” she complained

Emmal Benjamin scolded softly Then looked up at Grey “Grey, why are you late?

“Yes, Dad! He came home yesterday too!” Avery added quickly, then turned up to look at Grey again She saw a trace of blood from Grey’s hair as he had already wiped off the blood on his face before stepping inside

“Work,” he mumbled, and looked at Chris, with clenched teeth. “I’m always seeing you here”

“Nice to meet you too, Chris smiled softly Then, he looked at Emma “I would like to take leave now”

Emma smiled at him “Thats ok We can always see later I’m glad you honored my invitation

Grey s head sparked So, it was Emiria that invited him

Gladly, maam It’s my pleasure, Chris had this smirk on his face that Grey wished he could punch

Emma and Avery led Chris towards the door

“Do you know that Avery’s birthday is next week?’ Emma said suddenly

Avery looked at his mother Mom, stop It’s embarrassing”

Chris smiled “I’m aware actually but thanks for reminding me

Emma squealed “Look at that He knows already This is a great gentleman’”

Grey shook his head, he could no longer listen to their conversation He needed to sleep anyway, so he hurried inside the room.

He managed to take a shower He was asleep when Avery walked in or she might have asked him about the blood she saw earlier

Just before she stood up, the blood streamed down again She then knew for sure that something must have happened to him She knew that Grey was always causing trouble but she didn’t want him to die anyways

So, she got the first aid box and bandaged his wounded head He didn’t stir throughout the process

Grey opened his eyes suddenly Actually, he felt better

“You will tell me the reason why you are always causing trouble I don’t even know how I met you, do you remember? Avery blabbed in front of him

Grey looked up at her She was in Nike wear, a short down thal clung to her body like a second skin and showed all her shapes in place She looked so hot that Grey had to swallow hard

“Are you listening to me? Do you even have an answer7* She yelled, very much frustraled

Grey smiled and Ined to concentrate ‘Not really I’m fine and trust me, I didn’t cause any trouble

‘Trust you? Avery laughed “I would rather trust my dogs’ she sourked

Grey sighed He felt hurt at her remark but he pushed it aside and gol off the bed instead “Good morning, * he mumbled and went inside the bathroom

There was a bandage on his head and he wondered who had placed it there his mind went to Avery and he smiled Seemed like Avery has a gold heart after all

When he walked out again, Avery was gone. He got dressed quickly so that he would meet the breakfast hour

When he walked out. Everyone was already having breakfast and having small talks as usual

Avery should come to LX corporation by Monday We have a little celebration ongoing.” Lucy revealed suddenly

“You got the contract, right? From Protos Pubblicita? Emma asked anxiously

Lucy nodded, obviously happy “This contract will turn tables for LX We will be entering new limelight.” he explained

‘Did Avery get it? Or was it Smith?” Emma asked anxiously, then looked at Avery whose head was bent towards the food and was acting as if she didnt even care about the contract ‘Avery” She called at once, jerking Avery up

Avery looked up at her “What, mom’ Smilh got it!” She murmured

Grey’s head whipped in her direction He couldnt believe his ears He clearly ordered Jane to call the deal off Why didn’t she listen to him?

Grey felt a stab of annoyance and knew that he had to call Jane after breakfast

‘Avery tried her best, so she’s invited to share the celebration” Lucy declared

Avery sulked it was clear that she might never get another opportunity to get back her heir night

Lucy’s phone rang suddenly, disrupting the silence that was about to ensue

“Hello, Smith,” he said into the receiver, then his eyes narrowed and his face went blank What do you mean by you losing the contract? I thought you signed it yesterday?”

At the statement, every gaze turned towards him

“How could that have happened? I thought you were competent! What have you done to make him rethink?” He yelled He looked angry now as he slammed the phone on the table

Dad, what’s it?

Lucy stared into the space. “We lost the contract”

“What’ Why? What happened?” Everyone was skeptical and shocked except for Grey

“Hercules cut the deal off I wonder what could have happened We need this more than anything.” Lucy

boomed

“Could there be something in the contract clause that Hercules doesn’t like? Benjamin wondered aloud

Grey leaned closer to Avery. “It’s your chance to win this,” he whispered

Avery looked at him.” Don’t be silly. If Hercules doesn’t want to sign a contract with LX, there’s nothing! can do about it.”

Grey shrugged. “We never may know.”

“I’m going to the company,” Lucy announced immediately

Grey looked at Avery again expecting her to say something

“I will follow you, Grandpa,” Avery said quickly

“Alright, let’s finish up so we can leave” There was a wide smile on Grey’s face as he continued to eat Smith wouldn’t know what had hit him
