Chapter 100: Caught unawares Avery didn’t know what to do, but Grey’s words kept ringing in her ears. She knew there was no problem in letting him handle everything that has to do with Protos Pubblicita, why must her father appoint Smith beside her?
Avery sighed and looked over at Smith, who was talking with one of the workers in Protos Pubblicita.
“Here, the meeting would start immediately,” one of the workers offered and ushered the team to the meeting room
Jane stepped inside with her team members a few minutes later. “Good morning, everyone. We will start the meeting immediately,” she revealed and moved to sit.
She hesitated for a moment and looked up. “Mr Smith?” She called with creased brows.
Smith smiled. ” Good morning, Miss Jane.”
Jane nodded once. “Well, good morning but we specifically stated who we want. We wanted Miss Avery Robinson.”
“Sure, she’s the team leader. I’m here as part of the representatives. We can proceed now if you don’t mind,” Smith urged.
Jane stood. “I’m sorry but that can’t happen. We will have to start the meeting without you.”
“What?” Smith boomed in a thick voice. “Yes, you have to leave Mr. Smith,” Jane repeated. “What is all this about? Smith is here as part of the team. What has that got to do with the meeting?” Avery inquired. She might not like Smith but she loved standing in justice. “Exactly what you’ve heard, Miss Avery. We signed this contract in your best interest. We are not having Smith on the team.” Smith turned to Avery.” This was your work, right? You this spoiled brat!” He yelled in frustration. Avery sighed. “What are you saying right now? I know nothing about this.” “Well, she doesn’t. This came from Hercules,” Jane confirmed. “You have to excuse us, Mr. Smith Robinson,” and she signaled for the security to take him out. Smith released an exasperated sigh. He had never felt so embarrassed in his
entire life. “It’s ok, I will leave,” he got up. “Can we start the meeting, then?” He heard Avery initiate before he walked out of the room.
Smith felt a deep gushing feeling in him as he entered his car. He had no idea why Hercules would include something of that importance in the contract. It only made him keep thinking that Avery had a hand in it. Who knew, she could have bribed Jane to say what she did. And he was going to deal with her.
As he pulled out into the street, he dialed Seth’s number. It was unavailable, even after several dials.
Smith wondered what was happening to him and decided to check him at home before going home that afternoon.
Nora woke up on the other side of the bed that morning. She felt very sad that Seth didn’t get back to her the night before. The funniest thing was that he told her to wait for him.
Nora had slept off after several hours of waiting. And the first person she called that morning was Seth. But she couldn’t get through to him.
