Chapter 121: What's there? Lucy stepped inside his room to get ready for work. He wasn’t the CEO
now but he stillfelt the need to go to work and sometimes supervise.
His eyes went to the stainless steel wristwatch that he placed carelessly by the lampstand.
He disregarded it because it was an imitation.
When he got home on his birthday, he saw the watch on the table and took it inside.
Grey must have intentionally dropped it so he could take it.
Well, Lucy wanted to be accommodating for once and decided to accept the gift even though it
wasn’tworth it.
Well, he never expected anything from him seeing that he was just striving in the business world.
Just as Lucy turned to leave, he hesitated and decided to take the watch over to his friend’s store.
His friend was a large wholesaler and retailer in all forms of wristwatches.
Since Grey argued that the watch was real.
He was going to prove it to him.
And if it turned out to be an imitation, Grey would be punished for lying.
So, Lucy took the wristwatch and walked out of the house.
He arrived at the store.
The door opened almost immediately and Henry stepped out.
“Going somewhere?” Lucy said suddenly.
Henry looked up and saw him, " Lucy!" A smile spread across his face.
Lucy reciprocated the smile.
"I came here for you, you can't leave now." Henry chuckled.
"Let's go inside my office," he led Lucy across the spacious outlet, and into his office.
" What should I offer you? Are you here to stay a while or what?” He asked eagerly.
Henry and Lucy have been friends for a long time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey went to the same college but somehow, they haven't been able to see each other recently as
Henry went out of the country.
He was a businessman now and was always going from one country to another.
Lucy thought for a moment.
“I will stay for a few hours.
You may get me anything." Henry took the telephone and made an order.
"What do I owe for such a pleasant visit?" Lucy smiled.
"Well, you missed my birthday, Henry." Henry hit his head slightly.
“I’m so sorry.
I'm going to get you a gift," he stood up quickly Lucy watched him.” It doesn’t have to be ina rush," he
advised.
Henry smiled.
"I know but I don't want to forget," he responded and moved to the telephone again.
"Hello, bring me the two expensive wristwatches on sale," and he dropped the phone to look at Lucy.”
You can select yourgift by yourself." Lucy shook his head slightly.
“You will never change, will you?”
Henry smiled.
"Not at all," and he moved to sit in front of him.” I was going to visit you anyways.
My daughter is coming back from Paris and what's to work in your company.
Perhaps, there’s a vacancy.”
Lucy nodded once.” It’s ok.
She can come, and I will fix something for her," he assured.
Henry nodded briefly." Thank you." Lucy remembered the wristwatch." Also, I want you to do something
for me.
I_," the door opened suddenly, interrupting him of the word he was about to say.
One of the salesperson moved closer.
“Here sir.
I brought the Patek Philippe Ref 1527 and a Hublot Big bang.” “Patek Philippe?” Lucy repeated as he
remembered that the watch Grey gave him was also PatekPhilippe.
Surely, it would be easy to identify the fake.
“Take it to him.
Let him choose the one that he wants," Henry ordered the salesperson Lucy looked at Henry.” I have a
wristwatch here and I want to know if it’s an imitationor the real one." "Alright, I can do that," Henry
affirmed.
Lucy brought out the wristwatch and Henry took it.
His eyes went wide as he observed the watch.
He sat up and checked every side of the watch.
Alas! It was Patek Philippe Ref 1518 in stainless steel.
Patel Philippe was very expensive and so only a few of it were always ordered in stores.
In fact, he just sold the last one the day before.
Despite how much he would love to own one, Henry has to consider the amount.
Eventually, he was able to afford it and has been treating it like a treasure.
"Is everything alright?" Lucy jolted Henry out of his reverie.
"Yes," Henry mumbled and looked at Lucy." This is Patek Philippe,” he announced and got up to
retrieve his wristwatch from the desk.
“A fake or original?” Lucy asked.
Henry took his wristwatch and compared it with the one that Lucy brought.
It was the same, in color length and fact in some inscriptions on the back.
He looked up at Lucy eventually.
“It’s the real one.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhere did you get this? You could have gotten it from me,” he revealed with a tone that showed his
disappointment.
If Lucy had brought it from him, he would have gained something from it.
“I didn’t buy it, Henry.
It was a gift.” “Oh, it’s the original.
In fact, we sell it for 13 million dollars here.
Lucy felt moved immediately.
Grey won a lottery and spent such an amount as a gift for him? He could have usedthe money for
something else but he didn't.
Yet, he had disregarded his gift.
Nora has been thinking for a while and she didn't know what option she should really go for.
She didn't know if the money was worth betraying Grey the second time.
So, she called Tracy over.
Even though she was mad at her, she was in fact always smarter than she was.
"So, Nora, are you going to listen to me? Are you sincerely going to take my advice?”Tracy questioned,
her gaze fixed on her.
Nora nodded slowly.
She had no choice anyways.
She needed her to proffer her an excellent solution.
“Alright, then.
I think you should go with Mrs Robinson." "But that means betraying Grey again,” Nora reminded her.
“Yes,” Tracy nodded briefly.
"But there's no assurance that Grey would forgive you and employ you.
You are just going to wallow yourself in pity.
Aside from that, you have to think of your expenses," she explained convincingly.
Nora thought about it for a moment and sighed with frustration.
“But how do I go about it?” Tracy smiled.
“I have a very good idea.
