Chapter 154: Instigator Grey waited for some hours before Avery finally walked inside. He actually
thought she wasn’t going to come home that night. Avery ignored him and entered the bedroom. Grey
sighed and followed after her. “Avery,” he called softly.
Avery turned to look at him. “What do you want?” “Are you alright?” He asked, concerned. “I’ve been
waiting for you,” he complained. Avery smirked.” So, you won’t ask how Chris is doing?” Grey smiled. “I
don’t need to ask, I know he’s very fine. All I want to know is if you are alright.
If it was some days, Avery would have loved his explanation but on a day like that, she felt angry at
everything.
“You are seriously out of your mind! Wait, did you think you’ve done something that deserves an award
from me? What kind of person are you? You don’t have money but you have pride. Isn’t that so?” Avery
inquired in harsh tones.
“I don’t have pride? Well, I don’t,” Grey corrected softly. “But why will you think I do?”
“You don’t?” Avery raised skeptical brows at him.” Despite what you displayed earlier? With the fact that
Chris didn’t do anything, you still had to punch him. That’s how senseless you have been!” She yelled at
him. She felt very angry that Grey was acting violently. She didn’t think Chris deserve what he got. After
all, he was only trying to help her.
It pained her actually that Grey was unable to do half of what Chris had done to her. And after the recent
accident, Avery was starting to consider Chris’ proposal. What was the essence of being with Grey
anyways? He had no money and he still had attitudes. Grey sighed. “You and I know he’s just faking it.”
“Faking it?” Avery lost it completely. Grey had a heck of dirty attitude. Grey nodded briefly. “Two punches
can’t make a man fall, don’t let Chris deceive you. You know, he lies a lot.”
“What? How can you even say something like that?” She gathered her brows.” Do you even know his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthealth condition? How can you even think this way? Chris is having a mild issue. Your punches actually
affected him. Will you understand all these when you are always thinking so low?” She yelled in anger.
Grey stared at her, unable to form words. He knew that Chris had lied again but there was nothing he
was going to say that would actually get on her good side. She already trusted Chris.
“See, Grey. I hate you, I don’t like you at all. You came into my life and stressed it. And yet, you are being
stubborn. I explained to you, Grey but you chose to move without ever thinking! Sometimes, I wonder
where on Earth you came from.”
“Avery, I_,” Grey started but was cut off.
“I don’t want to hear anything from you, Grey!” She yelled. She was fuming with rage. If looks could kill,
Grey would be dead already. “I don’t! You don’t even have anything sensible to say? You don’t even look
sober. Just pray that Chris doesn’t press charges against you!” She finished and entered the bathroom
without waiting for Grey to say more.
Grey stared for a moment. Was Chris going to press charges? Who cares if he does?
Grey got out earlier that morning because he wanted to avoid all confrontations. Avery refused to speak
with him that morning. She was just so angry and Grey wondered if she would ever cool down.
Grey had a lot to do anyways. So, he drove right to Victoria skincare. The production was starting that
morning and he didn’t want to miss it.
“Good morning, Boss,” Linda walked out to meet Grey, with a smile on her face. “Good morning, Linda.
How is everything going?” “Fine, Miss Beatrice and the others are on with the production already. The
container and the others are available as well.” “The sticker?” He reminded. “Available, we have
employees to do that. Miss Beatrice divided the work. And, I have the list of all the employees we have
employed. I can bring it over to you or you can wait here while I get it,” she suggested.
Grey shook his head briefly. “There’s no need to. I will come back for it. I only came here to witness the
production,” he informed and took the way to the production room.
He entered the production room and beheld the worker for a moment. He couldn’t see Beatrice from the
point he was standing. He didn’t want to disturb anyone, so he decided to leave.
His phone rang suddenly just as he entered the lobby again. It was Jimmy.
He moved away from the receptionist to pick up the call. “Good morning Jimmy.” “Good morning boss. I
just wanted to remind you that the auction is this afternoon so that you wouldn’t forget.”
“Sure, but I appreciate it. Get ready as I have said earlier. We are going together,” Grey informed.
“Alright boss.”
“Boss!” A voice yelled suddenly and a guy rushed inside. “Boss,” he repeated.
“Later then,” Grey hung up and looked at the guy that just came in. “Yes, what’s it?”
“There are some guys outside actually. I think you need to see this for yourself,” he had barely finished
explaining when some guys entered the lobby. There were many and by counting would be more than
two dozen.
Grey stared at them for a moment, lost in words to say. He didn’t recognize anyone of them. They were
all in Black attire and were wearing this dark frown.
Some of the workers walked out and stood behind Grey while shaking in fear,
Linda moved closer to Grey. “What’s happening here?”
“Yes, who are you? And how can we help you?” Grey Inquired.
One of the men stepped forward. “We don’t have any time for explanations. You can just stay back or
leave if you want to but no one would disrupt our plans here.”
“So, why are you here?” Grey was still confused. ” Where’s your production room?” He asked.
Linda stared at him for a moment, shocked. “Wait what? What for?”
“Hey! Stop asking questions. You guys are going to show us to the production room and leave the
question out of it!” He yelled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrey chuckled softly. He didn’t need to go to social media to know that they were planning on disturbing
the production. And he knew that someone must have sent them over.
What he didn’t know was who the person might be.
That aside, he wondered how the person got the information that production was starting that day. And
they chose a perfect time. They thought Grey would be at Protos Pubblicita that morning. It would have
been a tragedy if Grey wasn’t at the company that morning.
“Leave now or I will call the police!” Linda threatened.
“Do that if you dare!” He warned sternly and advanced forward. He pulled at one of the workers violently.”
Lead me to the production room now.’
Grey released a sigh to calm his anger.” Let the girl go and walk out of here gently. Then, I will let it all
pass.”
The words angered the man.” Who the fuck is this? Were you referring to me seriously?”
Grey turned to Linda. “Call the police now.”
“If you do that, we will beat the hell out of you! You won’t even be able to open your eyes in two days,”
the man threatened.
Grey huffed and saw the hesitation in Linda’s action. He took the phone from her quickly, only to realize
that Linda was actually about to dial the police but had to stop because of the threat.
Grey dialed the number and the receiver picked up immediately. “Hi, you need to come to this address. I
will send it to you. Some idiots are trying to stop the production of a company and they are threatening
us not to call the police.” One of the men smirked.” He’s really bold.” The leading man stared at Grey for
a moment before he ordered. “Best him to stupor!”
All the workers yelled in terror. Grey smiled and sent the address to the police before he looked up at the
men again.
