Chapter 47: Assignment
There was no one in the living room when Grey walked in.
He opened the bedroom door slowly so that he wouldn’t wake up Avery. Little did he know that she woke up the moment the door opened.
Grey woke up earlier than Avery. He didn’t want Avery to waste his time that morning. In fact, he got to the dining table before her.
Though, Avery came in a few minutes after,
“Father, how has the company been?” Emma started a conversation
Grey sighed The family is used to talking during breakfast. Maybe because they don’t usually have the time to have dinner together or maybe Lucy just doesn’t like to lalk in the evening
“Fine. How else do you suppose it is? Smith is running it perfectly,” Lucy answered in a harsh tone. Il still shows that he was angry at Avery.
Emma sighed. “If only you could reconsider. Avery does a better job when she is there,” She mumbled.
Avery looked over at Emma “Stop mom!” She whispered
Emma sighed and eventually decided to concentrate on the food.
“Grey,” Lucy started suddenly “I heard you were fired. is that true?’
Avery looked over at him “Grandpa, who told you that?
* Smith. He knows more anyways. He’s going to sign a contract deal with Protos Pubblicita by Monday, he revealed.
At the mention of the name, Grey looked up from the food. “Do you mean Hercules’s company?”
*Yes, it’s the main company. It’s very big company and I’m so glad that Smith was able to seal the deal.” Lucy announced happily
He looked so happy that he might decide to give the righi to the company to Smith and that would be a disaster for Avery.
Avery winced and meddled with the food, the appetite lost already
“Protos Pubblicita is an advertising company. An advertisement from it will fetch us a lot of money. But dad, do you think Avery wouldn’t have been able to do that?” Emma blurted out.
“Well, Avery didn’t think that all this while. Smith was able to do that and he would be meeting with Representatives from Protos Pubblicita and even sign the contract on Monday. It’s sealed. Besides, your daughter has shown interest in other things,” he indicated, his voice rising above normal already.
Avery stared at the food as a tear dropped from her eyes, unto cheeks. She wiped it off quickly but Grey saw it.
“How about we do it like this, Grandpa? The contract hasn’t been signed. You can give Avery the opportunity to prove herself and see who will get Protos Pubblicita to sign the contract with your company,” he brought up.
All gazes turned towards him as if he was speaking in gibberish.
“What are you doing? Avery whispered, shocked.
