Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 47

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.

What Avery? What are you blaming the poor boy for? Your grandfather is finally giving you a chance, thanks to what Grey said,” Benjamin voiced out

Avery shook her head quickly ” No dad, you don’t understand this Smith is supposed to seal the contract by Monday and today is Friday How am I supposed to meet with representatives from Protos Pubblicita? That’s even minor, how do I know if Smith hasn’t met them already? They could have agreed and only decided to sign the contract on Monday It’s a futile effort” She sighed And since Grey had mentioned it to grandpa, he might get disappointed even the more if I don’t get it!”

* This is all Grey’s fault” Emma pointed out quickly, angrily

“Why are you blaming the poor boy? He isn’t Smith! He isn’t the one running the company instead of Avery, “Benjamin went for Grey’s rescue

“Oh seriously? If he hadn’t brought up the idea, everything wouldn’t be like this!” Emma announced.

Grey sighed. It looked like he had made another mistake. Maybe he shouldn’t have stepped in. Well, he just desperately wants to help her.

*But you just have to meet with Hercules,” Grey suggested

Emma burst into laughter. “Where did this man come from? He’s so clueless about things around him!”

Why? What?’ Grey felt lost. Avery wouldn’t have to meet with the representatives if she can deal with Hercules.”

Benjamin slapped his forehead slightly in embarrassment “Do you think it’s easy to see Hercules? No one had seen him in years

“Wew”Grey looked over at Avery ‘We can find him. He’s not dead and he has a house and he most definitely would have a secretary,” Grey explained

You? And Avery?” Emma laughed the more “Yes, you are right. She could even seduce him and solve all pending matters,’ she teased. Avery was getting irritated already Mom! Don’t be ridiculous, I’m going to work,” she stood up quickly. She went for her bag and walked out of the house Grey rushed after her quickly.
