Avery blinked once. “What?”
“You wanted a divorce, and I’m giving it to you,” he muttered.
Avery nodded briefly.” I’m glad. I will tell Grandpa about it but you should also see him and explain so it wouldn’t look like a lie,” she explained. Grey nodded once, with a straight face.” No problem,” he turned around and left. Avery noticed a change in Grey’s facial expression but she didn’t care, she was supposed to be fast about it before Grey would initiate the divorce and make her look like a fool. That aside, Grey must have thought that she wouldn’t find out about the assault issue and she was very much disappointed in him.
Avery arrived at work and couldn’t wait to talk to Chloe about it. She wanted to know how she felt about the decision she had just made. Sure, she knew she would be happy. She has always advised her to divorce. It was recently that she started speaking in parables. Maybe she didn’t want Avery to use her as an example.
Avery dialed her number. It rang severally but she didn’t pick up. Though, at a point. It felt like Avery had rushed in her decision. She wanted someone to reassure her that it was very fine.
It didn’t take up to thirty minutes when the door jerked open suddenly. “Avery!” A thick voice boomed.
Avery looked up, somewhat surprised ” Is something wrong?”
“Have you seen the magazine?” He asked, with a magazine dangling in his hand.
“What is it about?”
Smith placed the magazine on the table and flipped through the pages. He stretched it out for Avery to see.
“Why would Protos Pubblicita do this to us? We signed a contract with them. Why would he promote another cream production? Why would he promote Grey’s company,” he announced. Actually, he had announced it before he e knew what he said. Avery looked up at him, shocked. “Grey’s company?”
Smith sighed and leaned back. “Yes, you didn’t know that Grey has a company now?”
Avery shook her head quickly.” When did he start? How?”
Smith shrugged, “Perhaps you should ask him.”
Avery flared up.” How can you say that when you knew I had already requested a divorce?”
Smith shrugged slightly.” But he didn’t agree to it, right? Though, he amazed me these days. He had always been submissive. But, if you leave it to me, I will definitely help you out. He would be forced to agree like the first time.” Avery blinked once, lost.” He has already agreed. What are you talking about? What first time?
And why didn’t you tell me that Grey has a company and what company is that?”
Smith grinned. “It doesn’t matter, Avery. You hated him from day one. I actually knew you were not going to change your mind about him, I know how your mind works Avery,” he said, reassuring, then he turned again to look at Avery.” You should accept Chris’ request in time. He would make you liappy.”
Avery sighed.” If you really know how my mind works, then you should know that I’m being hesitant with Chris.”
Avery had been thinking about it all day, she had been comparing Chris with Grey and finally realized that aside from the money, Avery had no reason for staying with Chris. Somehow, it looked like Avery liked Grey more than Chris The cheating news she heard was what
eventually made her think of divorcing Grey.
Smith felt alarmed.” Why?” “I’m just not feeling right with him. And I’m starting to see this in a different direction. For an unknown reason, I don’t feel it was right for breaking up. Perhaps our meeting was a coincidence, perhaps we were met to be.” She wanted Grey to accept the divorce but she didn’t want it so soon. It felt as though Grey was really cheating on her. If not, he shouldn’t have agreed to it so fast. No matter how much Avery thought about it, she couldn’t comprehend it. Though she wasn’t angry she was just sad over it which doesn’t even make any sense. She should be glad that Grey was out of her life already. “Seriously?” Smith was amused.” Are you kidding me? Is that meeting a coincidence? I arranged the meeting and made you guys marry. I don’t see anything strange in it except the fact that you are starting to think greedily.” “Greedy? Wait what! You arranged our meeting? How?”
Smith’s mouth made a twist as a tactical acknowledgment of an error. “I arranged how Grey got to be in your room, Avery. Did you think Grey loved you or did you think you guys had something special? It was arranged.”
Avery blinked, as shock took over her. “What did you just say?”
Smith shrugged slightly. “it’s over anyways. You might as well know about it.” He knew that Avery doesn’t really like apologizing. She was really stubborn. There was no way she would do anything concerning it, no matter how annoyed she was.
