Considering Alvin's character, Greyson thought that it might be good for him to let Alvin be his man and follow him around to work for him.
Even though Alvin had no idea why Greyson would ask him what he could do, he still managed to make a reply. With all honesty, he answered, "I can cook food, wash clothes, use computer, design..."
Upon hearing Alvin say that he could cook food and wash clothes, Greyson suddenly felt that he seemed to find a man who could help him do household chores.
He was surprised that such a handsome young man with a delicate face could even cook food and wash clothes.
However, Greyson didn't need him to do any housework, as there was already someone responsible for doing housework in his house.
But when he learned that Alvin was interested in computer, Greyson felt a bit more satisfied. He thought his qualifications would really serve him best.
Since Alvin at least had his own professional skill, Greyson decided to let him stay by his side to do things for him. If Alvin could only do housework like cooking meals and washing clothes, without being good at doing other things, Greyson might surely be disappointed in him and make him leave right away.
Noticing that Alvin seemed to go on saying, Greyson immediately interrupted him, "Okay. I see. You don't need to explain further."
Inside him, he thought that if Alvin would keep on speaking, his words might make him so drowsy that he would even fall asleep right there and then.
"Okay. You can go for now. I will contact you in case I'll need your services. You don't have to be afraid of them now. They won't dare bully you again," With an encouraging expression, Greyson consoled Alvin.
Prepared to leave, Alvin nodded in return grateful for Greyson's show of concern.
After Alvin left, Greyson slowly made his way out of the Starlight Club.
Taking out his phone, he made a call to someone, telling him to look and prepare a shop for him. He would go visit and check it tomorrow.
The person on the other end of the line who received Greyson's phone call got stunned at the sudden order, but after hearing Greyson's words, he promised that he would try his best to find the best shop which would satisfy Greyson.
After hanging up the phone, Greyson opened his WeChat account and chatted with Ellie.
Luckily, he had also asked Ellie for her contact information last time as he knew that Ashley would not share anything to him.
It seemed that Ellie could be more easily persuaded than Ashley, and Ellie couldn't resist the lure of Greyson's charm. Thus in a matter of just minutes, she would tell Greyson about anything as long as Greyson said something to please or flatter her in some way.
When her phone lit up, Ellie was watching the hit TV series with Ashley after having dinner.
While all their attention was focused on the TV screen, Ellie and Ashley sat on the sofa together, with some potato chips placed on a nearby table.
They had quit their jobs and hadn't found any suitable shop to start their new business at present, so they planned to spend some time relaxing and having some fun for the meantime.
Upon seeing Greyson's message, Ellie averted her eyes from the TV towards her phone.
She began to indulge herself in the chat with Greyson via WeChat, even neglecting her favorite TV series.
After they talked for a while, Greyson suddenly asked Ellie whether Ashley was beside her at this moment, as he wanted to tell her a secret.
Instinctively, Ellie took a glance at Ashley who was gluing her gaze to the TV, after which she walked into her bedroom silently and replied to Greyson via WeChat, "She's not with me now. What do you want to say?"
All this time, Greyson had already known the reason why Ashley couldn't rent a shop from other people and why she wasn't telling him.
Now he had figured out a way to help Ashley and made some arrangements, but he couldn't explain to Ashley and Ellie how he came up with the whole thing. Thus he could only try to contact Ellie first and find a chance to carry out his plan.
Without knowing the reasons, Greyson himself couldn't even explain why he was so eager to help Ashley and Ellie.
He just felt that Ashley was an easy-going and friendly person. He couldn't help but get close to her and try to be on familiar terms with her. After all, Greyson thought that she deserved to be happy. Thus, Greyson with all his influence and resources was willing to help them in any way he could.
Otherwise, such a naughty person like Greyson would never do other people a favor, and he was known for messing things up instead of helping others.
