Actually, Caramel gol them Louis Vuitton clothes And she paid for all Well, Grey had to pretend to be
broke. He still had to hide from Caramel, seeing that she was always so inquisitive
She gasped “Wow! You look handsome! She complimented as they walked to the car
Grey rushed to the driver’s seat “I’m driving!”
Caramel laughed at this ‘No. I will drive please”
Grey shook his head “Allow me to act like a gentleman since this is the only thing I can do well
Caramel laughed and handed hirn the keys
“Do you know that your car costs 55 million dollars? She asked suddenly after they got inside
Grey pulled to a stop all of a sudden How the fuck did she know? He tried not to make it known
Grey cleared his throat meaningfully “I don’t really know that
Caramel smiled “Who would give you such an expensive car? And you claim you dont have money?”
Grey started the ignition “As I’ve said earlier, it was a present. I’ve been working everywhere before !
married Avery I’ve helped so many people and then one day, one of them decided to give me an old
car of his I was just fortunate,” he explained
Caramel looked away, clearly not satisfied with his explanation She still found something fishy about
Grey and she’s bent on finding out no matter what happens
Avery laughed again, at a joke that Chris has cracked
They were in one of the VIP suites in 5stars and Chris ordered every dish on sale He even made them
bring champagne and one of the most expensive wines on sale
“Is there more you want? You can tell me what you want and you will gel it in a snap.” He assured her
confidently
Avery had always known Chris to be confident, as he was equally rich as Lucy Robinson
Avery stared down at the dishes, then smiled “This is great I’m going to take my time consuming some
of this meal,” she laughed Thanks
Chris smiled as well and picked the champagne “I should pour your first dnnk,” he stated
Avery nodded briefly and stretched out her cup Somehow, her mind strayed towards Grey. She didn’t
want Chris but after what her mom had told her, she realized that slaying with Chris might be the best
for her. She couldn’t bring herself to spend another month with Grey
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘ when?’ Chris repeated suddenly and Avery jolted out of her thoughts She looked up at Chris and it
seemed like he just asked a question
“What did you say?”
‘I asked when you will be getting a divorce
Avery smiled anxiously and sipped the wine Well, I don’t know I’m not really sure,” she responded, with
a blank expression
Chris regarded her lor a moinenl I heard that you’ve taken over your father’s company Righ1?’
Avery nodded and a smile spread across her face it still felt like a dream that she was finally back to
where she belonged Only Grey was odd in her life
*So, you don’t need Grey righi?”
Avery sighed, frustrated “I don’t even need Grey in the first place but my grandfather seemed to be
Supporting hum at present I will just have to see how it goes,’ she informed
Lucy has strangely been in support of Grey which was very bad. If he likes hun, it would be a disaster
for them. He might not even let them get divorced
Chris smiled and looked away He picked up his wine glass and sipped a little of the wine, different
thoughts going through his mind
*Your mother told me that there’s a party next week?
Avery took one of the fried chips and chewed quietly ‘Yes, my grandfathers birthday He has booked a
VIP here already. He doesn’t really want to celebrate it big, he’s just going to invite friends and
relatives,”
she revealed
Chris smiled ‘Your mother invited me already I will surely be there” He stood up suddenly Now, it’s time
for your gift! He announced happily
Avery looked up at him “My gift?
Chris winked at her and moved closer to the door He opened it and a maid pushed in a serving cart
There was actually a big covered dish and Avery wondered what was there
Chris pulled the cover and at the center sat a diamond ring
Chris took it and walked to Avery ‘Here, it’s rare and worth a lot but I had to get you a perfect gifti” He
revealed and slowly took Avery’s hand. Then he placed it on her palm ‘Can you do me a lavor and
wear This around your neck7 Always?
“No, I’m married, Chris,’ Avery protested
* I know, which is why I said you should wear it around your neck and not your hand,” he smiled 11
should serve as the beginning of my relationship.” he proposed
Avery stared down at the beautiful ring and her heart exploded in happiness Chris wasn’t whal Grey
described him to be He could get angry but he was the best And perhaps, she should give him a
chance as her mother had said
We will stay as friends, Chris,” she repealed the second time that day
She might think of taking in her mother’s advice but it wouldn’t rule out the fact that she was married
and still had to get a divorce before she got deep with another man
Chris smiled, though it wasn’t a genuine one Avery couldn’t see this ‘Sure, and he pulled Avery into a
hug
Chris has decided that Avery would only be his. And he was going to find a way to separate her and
Grey Thal was his plan
“The movie was interestingi* Caramel announced with a smile as she and Grey walked out of the hall
“Yes, I recommend it I didn’t know movies at the cinema were always so refreshing,” he revealed
honesty
Senously? You’ve never been to a cinema?” Caramel asked, surprised
Grey nodded once if you know how tough the life of a delivery man is, then you will understand my
plight
Caramel laughed. You should come here often then.”
Grey nodded briefly He darted at his wristwatch and realized he still had four hours to spend out
He stopped walking to look at Caramel. “You should go home now It’s getting late
Caramel nodded “I can drop you at home *
Grey anxiously ranks his fingers through his hair “I can’t do that actually I’m supposed to be here until 8
pm
Caramel raised skeptical brows at him “Why?”
Grey sighed. Mr Lucy wants us to have today to ourselves but Avery chose to go out with Chris. So, I’m
supposed to hang around until it’s 8 pm,” he explained truthfully It was the best anyway
Caramel thought about it for a moment *Then, we should have fun Should we go to the pub or club?
enjoy dancing! She announced excitedly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrey regarded her for a moment ” Why will you do that?
Caramel shrugged”It’s normal. I mean you will be by yourself for four hours? That’s bad You could get
lonely! And even sleep offi
Grey was still watching her with curious eyes “And why are you bothered?”
Caramel rolled her eyes “I’m your wife’s friend Even though you two arent really married, obviously, she
emphasized more on the word obviously ‘But I can still watch out for her husband”
Grey’s expression went blank You don’t need to think of it like that I can handle myself,” he insisted
Seriously 7 Caramel took his hand suddenly and pulled him along, forcibly
“What are you doing? Grey laughed
“Have you watched Truth or Dare? You know it’s a forced thing,” she explained as they got to the car
She let him go and went around to enter the driver’s seat
“Yes, but are you going to kill me if I don’t do it? Grey teased as he got into the car
“literally!’ Caramel laughed and started the ignition
They arrived at MegaPhone Attitude Club. A club owned by Hercules
Caramel turned to look at Grey “This is one of my best clubs in the city”
Grey nodded once and got down His father left him so many companies thal it was starting to confuse
him
They walked inside the spacious room, already blaring with music Caramel was already moving to the
song
Grey grinned as he watched her for a moment, then slowly tapped her ‘I will be back.”
Caramel nodded quickly and proceeded towards the dance floor. There were others on the floor as
well.
Grey went into the toilet to pee Then, he contemplated on whether to pay the bills for that night with his
membership card or not. If he does, then Caramel would get to know one of his secrets. But he couldnt
really allow Caramel to pay all the bills for that day
Just as he returned to the spacious room, his gaze searched around for Caramel
His eyes widened at the position where he met her Caramel was backed into the corner of the dance
floor by two men, one in front of her and one at her back. And it looked like she was trying to get away
from them or maybe not But the moment one of them stroked her hair, Grey felt a stab of annoyance
and walked nearer.
