Avery watched Chloe’s expression. “Is there anything you want to tell me?” Chloe sighed.” Nothing. But I just think you should sit and think about it deeply. This isn’t something you can just decide on without proper thoughts.” Avery shrugged slightly.” What difference does it make anyways? We all know who Grey is and how rich Chris is.”
Chloe moved closer as if she was scared of other people hearing what she was about to say.” Have you ever thought of the possibility of Grey being rich?”
Avery stared at her, confused.” What do you mean?”
“Like maybe Grey is rich but he’s hiding it from you. Do you think it could be possible? Like he’s someone wealthy and influential, you know anything can happen.” Avery burst into laughter.” That’s the funniest thing I have ever heard. Of course not! Why would I think to such an extent? Grey is wretched, poor but maybe he’s managing now. It’s not a day job to be influential, he has a long way to go.”
It was getting even late into the night. Avery entered the kitchen to get a cup of water. A figure suddenly materialized in front of her and she jumped up in fear before she realized it was Smith.
“Hey, at least, you will whistle so that I would know you were there instead of scaring the wit out of me,” she complained. Smith smiled.” You should be scared of your future with Grey, instead of being scared of who is in the kitchen,” he teased.
Avery hissed and moved to grab some beer, instead of the water she initially wanted. “I don’t have time for your babbles.”
“Yes, but you should think about what Grey is always doing so late in the night that he always comes home at odd hours. Maybe, that isn’t such a babble.” Avery rolled her eyes.” Will you please stop?” “I won’t, Avery until you see sense in all this. Why do you think I do pick up on Grey or you if it wasn’t for the stupid son-in-law you brought home,” he insinuated.
Avery huffed.” Am I hearing right?” she turned to be able to look at Smith. “You’ve been treating me badly even before I got married. What the fuck are you now talking about?” Smith gulped down the water in his hand. “That’s because you didn’t get the message I was trying to pass across, Chris fell in love with you years back but you wouldn’t even look in his direction, instead, you found yourself occupied with something else. I had to make you feel threatened at work so that you would feel the need to fall in love,” he explained and shook his head briefly.” You sincerely didn’t think I meant everything i said back then?” Avery found herself laughing, “Are you kidding me? You sincerely want me to believe all that?
Smith nodded briefly.” Sure, it’s the truth,” he affirmed.
Avery sipped out of the beer. “Then explain what you did after you found Grey and me on the bed? You could have kept mute about it. You sincerely didn’t need to tell grandfather about it! You did that and you want me to believe all these explanations?” She accused him. Smith shrugged slightly.” It’s your choice to believe or not. Just know that Grey isn’t the best one for you. You had better accept Chris before it’s too late. That aside, he would really help the company. Imagine all these?” He revealed.
Avery thought for a moment. “Do you sincerely know what Grey does every night?” Smith smiled. “Why should I? At least I’m not as irresponsible as he is.”
Avery sighed and walked out of the kitchen. She was already getting frustrated. Her phone rang suddenly, jerking her out of her thoughts. “Hi, Smith?”
“Are you free? I just woke up and I wanted to go for dinner. Are you about to sleep? If you are, then you shouldn’t bother,” he expressed in a low voice that showed he sincerely just woke up. Well, Avery was starting to feel bored and she couldn’t even bring herself to sleep. Chloe was strangely reluctant to chat with her. In fact, she left home quickly. And Smith was disturbing her at home. Being with Chris would be the best. She didn’t even want to think of Grey at that moment. “I will be on my way now.” “Should I pick you up?” “Can you do that?” “Sure, I will be there right now!” Chris assured and the phone went off. Avery went into the bedroom for a quick shower. She got dressed in a blue dress that fitted her so well, like a second skin.
