Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 21

Chapter 21:The wedding certificate

Emma was quick to pull out of the trance and tell Grey that there was nothing he could do for Avery especially because her right as the heir to her grandfather‘s properties have been taken away from her.

Beniamin was still in shock and although he had little trust in Grey, wished he could actually help out.

“Let‘s go,” Grey turned towards Avery and noticed a drop of tears on Avery‘s cheek.

Avery went silent for a moment as if thinking about something. Then she slowly turned to look at him, her gaze already cold. “Go where? You must be insane!” She spat out, took her bag, and walked angrily out of the room.

Grey rushed after her. “Hey, Avery!” He called, then stopped when she stopped in front of Grey‘s car and gave it deep scrutiny.

“This is your car?” She asked with confusion.

Grey smiled and walked closer to her. “Yes, it‘s mine. Do you want me to give you a ride?” Avery scoffed.” In this thing? That looks like something from the bin?” She spoke in a voice that showed how disgusted she was.

“No Avery, this is a great car. Only the exterior decorations are deceiving. You should check the interior and you will be perplexed. Why don‘t I give you a ride?” Avery observed the car for a while.

” You must have gotten the car from Alfred,” she looked up at Grey. “I bet you have no shame if you think this is really your car. This is a company car and it can be taken away from you at any time,” she sighed.” I would rather drive mine than go with you. So, thank you,” and with that, she turned around and walked to her car.

Grey watched her drive off, unable to defend himself. He knew that Avery must hate him so much especially because he took her virginity. Even Lucy wouldn‘t have it with her.

Grey got to the office earlier but not after getting insulting treatment from Alfred‘s secretary. She was so pleased that Alfred took the manager position from her but what she didn‘t know was that he allowed it.

Grey knew he might have to treat her to a lesson one day but he let that day pass. His schedule was tight that day. He needed to be at the reunion and he also needed to go to the registrar for the wedding,

And he was also going to bring some of his clothes from his house. He thought of getting a suit that he would wear to work. The one he wore to work that morning also attracted some whisperings.

Grey got home earlier because of what Lucy had ordered him and Avery to do.

The garage was barely empty except for three cars and one that was for Avery. It seemed like Lucy, Emma and Benjamin were out. Smith wasn‘t around and he loved the quietness. The moment he stepped inside the living room, the familiar scent hit his nose. He knew it was Avery and his nose was almost getting accustomed to her particular scent.

Avery was at the bar, drinking. Though, he couldn‘t tell if it was alcoholic or otherwise.

Grey walked closer and noticed that she had suddenly changed from the clothes she wore that morning. She was in a short white dress now, with a V–shaped that revealed her delicate blossom. Her dress was too short and revealed her flawless thighs.

“I‘ve been waiting for you,” she whispered and poured herself some wine. Grey knew she must be devastated and sad.

“I‘m ready, we should leave now,” Grey suggested.

Avery craned her neck slowly to look at him: “You are definitely not coming with me dressed like that. I won‘t let you disgrace me to that extent. There‘s a nice suit on the chair. You should get changed, I will wait for you,” she explained and sipped her wine.

Grey smiled.” Thank you,” he went towards the direction she had indicated and found the new suit on the chair. It was a nice suit and he knew it was expensive as well. He didn‘t expect that Avery would get him a suit. Perhaps, she wasn‘t as he had painted her to be.

He took a quick bath and walked out again, looking handsome in the suit as if it was tailored majorly for him. His tallness and broad shoulders made him look like he was a model. He carefully styled his hair and made him look like he was up for an auction.

His look actually got Avery dazed for a moment. She blinked it away, took her bag, and walked past him angrily. She waited for him in front of the main door.

“We should go out in our cars because I won‘t even allow you to enter mine. And there’s no fucking way I will enter yours. Meet me at the registrar,” she stated and didn‘t wait for him to talk before she entered her car and drove out.

Grey sighed and got into his car as well. He drove after Avery slowly, allowing her sometimes to be alone. Maybe he shouldn‘t agree to do it. Maybe he should stop the wedding but there was no way he could do so without revealing his identity. Lucy would never let him off if he took off.

Avery parked the car and got out of the car. She waited for Grey to do likewise and they both walked inside.

When they walked out again, Grey was the one holding the certificate because Avery was too pleased to even touch it. She didn’t talk to Grey and instead drove off.

It was getting really late now and Grey knew he might not even have the time to return home for a change of the suit. So, he decided to drive to the reunion directly. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Just as Grey walked closer to the door, Philip walked out with Cindy. Cindy was the leader of the female bully while they were still in college and she would pick on him at every moment she got. “Oh, see! It‘s Grey!” Cindy squealed. Grey smiled and walked closer to them. “Hi,” he greeted. “Hey! Nice suit!” She complimented with a sinister smile. “I thought you were not coming over. You know the delivery jobs can be tasking,” Philip teased.

Cindy looked at him quickly.” What the fuck! He‘s a delivery boy?”

Philip gave her a skeptical look. “You didn‘t know?”

“No! I just came back from Korea. I‘ve been traveling around after college,” she said proudly and looked over at Grey.” So you ditched your work to be here? Man! You have to grow up!” She laughed, ” or you will starve.”

Grey stared at her for a moment as he felt a quick surge of anger. Cindy would always make him angry. “I‘m not into delivery. I work in an office now,” he said through gritted teeth. “Oh seriously,” Philip laughed. “I forgot you married Avery Robinson. She must have employed you in her office,” Philip stated. He and Cindy burst into laughter.
