Chapter 12: search for job
Grey smiled, flashing them his neatly arranged set of white teeth. He was confident anyway since he
had already discussed it with Alfred. And he was certain that Alfred would let him work with him for as
long as he wanted. He was his boss after all. He turned around again, leaving Avery’s parents on the
seat before he walked deeper into the house. He knew he couldn’t go back to his house and would
have to pass the night at Avery’s house. Also, he didn’t know where Avery’s room was, he only
followed his instincts, coupled with the conversation of the maids that he eavesdropped on before
walking inside the living room. He stopped before the door and knocked on it. It took a moment before
the door opened. As Grey was about to step in, Avery almost shut the door right on his face. Thanks to
his swiftness, he was able to dodge the attack. She opened the door again, anger vivid on her features.
The reddish and swollen face showed she had been crying earlier even though there was no evidence
of tears on her face. “What do you want? What were you trying to do?” She barked. “I want to come in,
to sleep of course,” he regarded her for a moment. ” Why are you blocking my way?” ” You must be
kidding if you seriously believe you will sleep in here!” She snapped. ” I’m your husband, remember?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe reminded her. Avery shook her head slightly. ” No, You are just the man that made me lose my heir
right due to your foolishness. You ruined my life Grey and I seriously don’t want to have anything to do
with you!” She spat out with anger. ” Where am I supposed to stay then?” He contended. “I don’t care!”
She snapped. ” Anywhere but not here!” She jibed and shut the door angrily. If the door wasn’t so
strong, it would have fallen off. Grey sighed, already feeling sorry for her. It was his fault anyway. He
regretted ever getting drunk. The night was a special night that he would never forget. Grey moved
away from the door as he could see some other door by the left. However, there was already a bold
description of who the room belonged to. There was Smith and Benjamin and the couple. There was
another room on the upper floor but it was for Lucy. Aside from these, there was no other room for Gray
except for the maids’ side which was to the left side of the living room. Grey found an unoccupied room
in the servants’ wing. And he slept off immediately. . The morning came so fast as Grey could imagine.
Well, he wanted to get to the P.K company on time. And he would still have to go to his house since he
didn’t bring any clothes to Avery’s house. He walked out of the room just in time when Benjamin and
Emma were coming out. “What the fuck? Did you sleep in the servant room?” Benjamin asked
amazingly. Emma laughed. ” Of course, he’s a servant after all?” Grey took a short bow. “Good
morning, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson.” “Good morning,” Benjamin replied softly. Emma waved her hand. ”
The morning is good for you after all. I hope you won’t forget the position you hold in this family.” Grey
smiled. ” I won’t ma’am but I have to go now,” and he hurried out before they would say much. He got a
cab straight to his house and took a quick bath. He was dressed in a gray shirt and black trousers. P.K
corporation was thirty minutes away. When Grey got to the company, it was already ten in the
morning. Stepping down from the car, Smith was the first person that Grey saw. Smith turned around
and saw him as well, then a smile crept up to the corner of his mouth. “Look who we’ve got here,” he
teased as Grey walked nearer. Afraid that Grey would walk in and he wouldn’t be able to stop him, he
called out to the securities that were hanging around. The securities walked forward at an alarming
rate. He pointed at Grey. “Do not let him in. He’s a loser who wants to take advantage of Alfred.” The
security men blocked the entrance immediately and Grey was forced to look back at Smith while
wondering what was really happening. Smith took a step closer to him and filled the space in between
them. “You know what, Grey. I think you should accept the aura moving endlessly around you,” he
whined. ” You shouldn’t try to get benefits from Alfred even if your grandfather was his friend. Just
accept the fact that you are poor,” he laughed again and stepped back. Grey sighed, already getting

company in a black skirt and a white t-shirt. “Hello, this is Jane, Mr. Alfred’s secretary,” she greeted and
turned towards the securities. “You can leave.” Smith creased his brows and opened his mouth to say
something but Jane cut her off immediately. “I’m sorry sir, but this is strictly Mr. Alfred’s orders,” she
smiled at Grey. “Please, do follow me,” she turned around and started to walk away. Grey looked over
at Smith and noted the disappointment on his face. Grey made a little smile before he walked after
Jane. “Has Alfred told you why I’m here?” Grey said when he met up with her. Jane craned her neck to
be able to look at him for a moment. Alfred? She thought that Grey was in the company to find a job,
then she wondered why he was being so disrespectful. She didn’t answer. Instead, she opened the
door to her office and walked in, expecting Grey to come inside after her. Grey gave the room quick
scrutiny. “I think I deserve an answer to the question I asked the other time.” Jane retrieved a paper
and turned towards Grey. ” Sorry?” She stretched out a paper with a confounded expression. Grey
knew that she didn’t like him but he didn’t care. He took the paper from her and discovered that it was a
list of jobs that Grey could apply for. It looked as though Alfred was giving him the right to select a job
for himself.
