Chapter 39: A request
Avery however was with Chris in a popular bar in the city. She doesn’t like Chris but had to go out on a date with him because of her mother. She lied to Grey because she was angry at him.
Grey was not the kind of man she wanted and she wasn’t even ready to get married but Grey forced her to. She had thought he was doing great at least until she heard that Alfred had fired him. And that got her so angry at him
She was his? They might be married but Avery would never be his wife. She was looking for the right opportunity to get her grandfather to approve the divorce
Avery Sipped the drink slowly and suddenly felt like going back to the comfort of her home. She felt tired and Chris’s words were boring her already.
‘I spoke with your mother, Avery and she would like us to date.” he announced and looked up at her.
Avery regarded him for a moment. ” I’m married, remember,” she stressed
Chris chuckled, “I’m aware, alright and your mother is as well but we all know who Grey is. He’s as useless as the dust bin and I can actually help you get away from him,” he proclaimed, with a smile on his face.
Avery rolled her eyes She doesn’t want Grey but she doesn’t want Chris either. She just wanted to be single and enjoy her prime while it lasted
‘I’m not interested, Chris, and I am married,’ she hinted. I’m not going to be cheating while I’m married she stated
Chris sighed I like you so much Avery and that is an advantage for you. I own one of the biggest companies in the city,” he boasted, “I invested so much in your business because I like you. Come on Avery! I can do more with you. I have one more company. We can sign a lot of contracts that will benefit your company. You seriously need to be with someone that knows your worth and not some useless orphan,” he smirked
Avery doesn’t like the insult that Chris was giving Grey” Please, be considerate. He lost his parents. you shouldn’t abuse him with that,” she opined She doesn’t like Chris but she also didn’t want to get on his nerves Chris signed an important contract with her company and she couldn’t afford to lose it. So, she had to be choosy with her words.
Chris sighed and relaxed back into his chair. “You should give up on this guy, he’s not worth the struggles.”
Avery regarded him for a moment.” I have to leave now,” she announced politely.
Chris watched her stand. ” Avery, do you know our contract expires this month? And you might need to sign another,’ he recalled,
Avery’s heart made a sudden thud at the announcement. He was right anyways. Avery’s company needs Chris to survive
“Chris, I would like us to separate business from personal issues,” she advised with the hope that he would heed
Instead, Chris stood up with a smile. “I will drop you home, then.”
He didn’t talk about the contract and Avery felt really weird. She seriously didn’t want to lose his influence on her company
Chris didn’t talk about anything during the drive back home. But the moment he pulled up in front of the house, he turned to look at Avery
“Don’t forget that I own the contract and your decision will make or mar mine. Just rethink your decision.’ he told her with a smile.
