Chapter 121: What's there? Lucy stepped inside his room to get ready for work. He wasn’t the CEO now but he stillfelt the need to go to work and sometimes supervise.
His eyes went to the stainless steel wristwatch that he placed carelessly by the lampstand.
He disregarded it because it was an imitation.
When he got home on his birthday, he saw the watch on the table and took it inside.
Grey must have intentionally dropped it so he could take it.
Well, Lucy wanted to be accommodating for once and decided to accept the gift even though it wasn’tworth it.
Well, he never expected anything from him seeing that he was just striving in the business world.
Just as Lucy turned to leave, he hesitated and decided to take the watch over to his friend’s store.
His friend was a large wholesaler and retailer in all forms of wristwatches.
Since Grey argued that the watch was real.
He was going to prove it to him.
And if it turned out to be an imitation, Grey would be punished for lying.
So, Lucy took the wristwatch and walked out of the house.
He arrived at the store.
The door opened almost immediately and Henry stepped out.
“Going somewhere?” Lucy said suddenly.
Henry looked up and saw him, " Lucy!" A smile spread across his face.
Lucy reciprocated the smile.
"I came here for you, you can't leave now." Henry chuckled.
"Let's go inside my office," he led Lucy across the spacious outlet, and into his office.
" What should I offer you? Are you here to stay a while or what?” He asked eagerly.
Henry and Lucy have been friends for a long time.
They went to the same college but somehow, they haven't been able to see each other recently as Henry went out of the country.
He was a businessman now and was always going from one country to another.
Lucy thought for a moment.
“I will stay for a few hours.
You may get me anything." Henry took the telephone and made an order.
"What do I owe for such a pleasant visit?" Lucy smiled.
"Well, you missed my birthday, Henry." Henry hit his head slightly.
“I’m so sorry.
I'm going to get you a gift," he stood up quickly Lucy watched him.” It doesn’t have to be ina rush," he advised.
Henry smiled.
"I know but I don't want to forget," he responded and moved to the telephone again.
"Hello, bring me the two expensive wristwatches on sale," and he dropped the phone to look at Lucy.” You can select yourgift by yourself." Lucy shook his head slightly.
“You will never change, will you?”
Henry smiled.
"Not at all," and he moved to sit in front of him.” I was going to visit you anyways.
My daughter is coming back from Paris and what's to work in your company.
Perhaps, there’s a vacancy.”
Lucy nodded once.” It’s ok.
She can come, and I will fix something for her," he assured.
Henry nodded briefly." Thank you." Lucy remembered the wristwatch." Also, I want you to do something for me.
I_," the door opened suddenly, interrupting him of the word he was about to say.
One of the salesperson moved closer.
It was a gift.” “Oh, it’s the original.
In fact, we sell it for 13 million dollars here.
Lucy felt moved immediately.
Grey won a lottery and spent such an amount as a gift for him? He could have usedthe money for something else but he didn't.
Yet, he had disregarded his gift.
Nora has been thinking for a while and she didn't know what option she should really go for.
She didn't know if the money was worth betraying Grey the second time.
So, she called Tracy over.
Even though she was mad at her, she was in fact always smarter than she was.
"So, Nora, are you going to listen to me? Are you sincerely going to take my advice?”Tracy questioned, her gaze fixed on her.
Nora nodded slowly.
She had no choice anyways.
She needed her to proffer her an excellent solution.
“Alright, then.
I think you should go with Mrs Robinson." "But that means betraying Grey again,” Nora reminded her.
“Yes,” Tracy nodded briefly.
"But there's no assurance that Grey would forgive you and employ you.
You are just going to wallow yourself in pity.
Aside from that, you have to think of your expenses," she explained convincingly.
Nora thought about it for a moment and sighed with frustration.
“But how do I go about it?” Tracy smiled.
“I have a very good idea.
