Chapter 85: Conspiracy Grey walked inside the room and regarded Avery for a moment. She sat in front of the mirror and was applying something to her face. She was in a white fur night robe. “I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight,” she didn’t turn around as she made the remark.
“Do you care?”
Avery eventually turned to look at him, her gaze flickered over him for a moment. “I was worried. I thought you had met with Don and something had happened.”
Grey sighed. “You sounded worried after all.”
Avery rolled her eyes.” What nonsense were you saying at the party? Why should you meddle in my business? Why must you always put yourself in trouble,”she complained.
Grey made a little smile but he didn’t move away.” Are you worried about me or yourself?”
Avery felt frustrated at his question.” Damn! Grey! I’m worried about myself. I want this position more than anyone else. In fact, this belongs to me. So, I shouldn’t hesitate if it’s coming my way. Why were you speaking to my grandfather in such a way? What if he eventually decided to have Smith as his heir?” She complained. The thought of it made her shiver. She didn’t want to get on her grandfather had side. Grey scoffed.” That’s what you think? Don’t you think anything is wrong somewhere?”
Avery raised skeptical brows.” Like what?”
Grey sighed. “That night, did you really think nothing was wrong? Didn’t you think it was weird that Smith was I’m your room that morning?” He probed.
Avery thought about it for a moment. “Why would it be weird? Smith knew I had a VIP room at that hotel. There’s nothing new in it.”
Grey nodded briefly.” What about Lucy finding out about us? Didn’t you think the time was all so accurate? As if it was planned?” Grey didn’t want to say anything about Smith, not yet but he wanted to see if she suspected anything or not.
Avery finally sighed.” I sincerely don’t know what you are driving at. I just hope you won’t meddle in my business in the future. I have the right to do whatever I

want. It’s my right and I’m having it back!” She said stubbornly. “Sure,” he moved to the bathroom. “I’m sure you are so desperate that you didn’t think of what the future might hold. Who knows, Mr. Lucy might take the position away from you after some months, and give it to his Smith.” Avery stood up, in anger. ” What are you talking about?”
Grey hesistated to spare her a glance. “You just told me not to meddle in your business and I’m going to follow your instructions. I will do all this in my way then.” He indicated with a smile. Avery’s eyes thinned on him. “What do you mean?” Grey let out an exasperated sigh. “This is my business, so don’t meddle in it,” he finished up and entered the bathroom, leaving Avery to stare behind him with a shocked expression on her face.
When Grey moved to the dining room the second day, he noticed the weird silence lingering over the place. “So, you can come to eat?” Emma attacked with teasing tone.
Well, Grey was expecting it but he just didn’t think that Emma would be the first.
