Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Wasted effort “You came home earlier yesterday,” Avery repeated as Grey made his tie. She was watching Grey with so much curiosity. He looked so handsome and had all the physical attributes of being a man but he lacked them mentally and he wasn’t even as rich as Chris. Avery would have never imagined herself getting married to someone like Grey. To that day, she still found the incident unclear.

“I was so tired,” he looked up at her. “I saw the ring that Chris gave you_”

“Very good!” She said quickly, interrupting him. “That should remind you that you didn’t even get me anything for my birthday.” Grey sighed. “You went out with Chris, remember? If you hadn’t, I would have given you something nice.”

Avery waved it up and stood, showing her nice shape to Grey. “It wouldn’t be worth Chris’s gift anyway. I don’t regret what I did that day,” she took her bag and walked out of the house. “Troubles always come whenever you are around, Smith,” Emma teased.

Chloe wasn’t around. So, Grey took his seat beside Avery.

Smith smiled. “You shouldn’t worry much. I’m here with a piece of good news.” Lucy walked to his seat. “There will be a board meeting today. Everyone should be present.”

Avery nodded. “How are you doing, grandpa?” No matter what he does to him, she still loves him.

Lucy looked at her, a bit longer as different thoughts went through his mind.” I’m fine. The head of the contract with Protos Pubblicita will be given to Avery,” he announced suddenly.

“What?” Emma was more than shocked. Smith smiled nervously. “I told you it was good news.” Avery stared at Lucy, with a surprised expression. Though, she couldn’t help but notice the blank expression he was giving her. Grey looked over at Avery and reached for her lap, under the table. Avery looked down at his hand, but he was quick to withdraw it, already aware Avery wouldn’t take it easy with him. After he had retreated, she looked up at him.

Grey knew what Lucy was doing. Though, He didn’t know why. Why must Lucy

take the position away from Avery, even though the contract was based on her? And it meant that Lucy would do it again. Or he was obviously planning something with Smith. Smith was cunning, that he knows because of his accuracy in discovering the plot played between him and Avery. It was like Smith saw Grey enter the suite that night. Grey slowly shook his head at her as a means of telling her to reject the offer.

Smith was looking at Grey and he noticed the expression he was giving Avery.” What are you doing, Grey?” He yelled suddenly, startling everyone.

Avery looked over at Lucy and reasoned what he had just said. For the first time actually, she thought of Grey’s advice and then, she found Lucy’s decision very weird. Why would he take the position from her, then decide to return it? “That’s good news!” Emma jubilated, a wide smile spreading across her face. “Exactly! I’m so glad!” Benjamin chimed in.

Avery sighed. “May I know the reason why you’ve made this decision? I mean Smith is way better than I am.”
