Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Lies Avery stared at the bag of money for a moment, with brows drawn together.

A soft knock sounded on the door and Avery rushed forward. She opened the door and let Chloe inside.

“Thanks for coming,” she made sure that the door was locked so that no one would be able to enter.

Chloe regarded her for a moment. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Avery sighed and moved to sit. “I told you about Thomas? Thomas wanted to date me but I disagreed. Then, he pulled back. He used to be one of our wealthy investors,” she explained.

Chloe gathered her brows.” And why did you reject him? I mean, isn’t he better than Grey? At least, he’s rich. Grey has nothing. I wouldn’t leave someone like Thomas for Grey,” she declared.

Avery thought for a moment.” That’s because you don’t know who Thomas really is. He’s the most selfish man I have ever known. I can’t fall for someone like him. There’s absolutely no way things would work well for us both,” she revealed.

Chloe hissed. “Grey has a bad attitude but you guys are still together. Are you sure you haven’t fallen in love with him?”

Avery’s eyes went wide with shock.” Why will you even say something like that? I’m not in love with Grey! How can I be!” She yelled in anger.

Chloe watched her for a moment.” It’s just an accusation, you shouldn’t be raising your voice so high!” She complained. She sounded enraged as well.

Avery let out an exasperated sigh. “That just came as a shock. There’s no way I would fall for Grey,” she bawled and tried to breathe properly.

She didn’t even know why her heart skipped a beat at his name but she knew that it was never a sign of love.

“Anyways, so can we continue the story or is that why you called me over?” Chloe pointed out.

Avery let out a sigh. “Well, LN is suddenly in need of money. That was what I was trying to ask you the other day at home. I’ve been thinking of how to save LN. I didn’t want to tell Grandpa because I was scared. What if he takes the company from me again?” She hinted. Chloe sighed.” How much do you need?”

“I needed six million dollars to work on the project at hand. I will get a lot in return after the project,” she revealed.

Chloe inclined her head aside as she gave it a thought. “I have just two million dollars to spare. How will you get the rest?” She asked, concerned.” Perhaps you can ask from Caramel.”

Avery hissed and looked away. “I don’t want to hear her name Well, that wasn’t why I called you,” she looked over at Chloe. “I suddenly received this bag this morning from anonymous. And guess what? It contained the exact money I needed. Sux million dollars!” She announced with a bit of excitement.

Chloe blinked once, then twice. “What! Did you ask anyone?”

Avery thought for a moment.” Actually, I wanted to ask Chris but I decided against it immediately.”

Chloe raised skeptical brows.” Chris? The guy that got you the 50 million dollars worth of ring? And the one that gave grandfather Lucy millions dollars worth of wristwatch?” She asked, skeptically
