Chapter 33: A spark at work

As he had thought, breakfast was done when he finally walked out.

“Seriously? You should hurry up then,” Emma seemed so happy about the change. She was optimistic that Lucy would change his mind soon.

“Is David driving or will you like me to drive?” Avery asked. She was happy as well and Grey couldn‘t help but notice that smiling made her look more attractive.

“We are going in our separate cars. You will have to return to your company after the contract has been finalized,” Lucy finalized, stood up, and walked out.

Avery followed quickly.

“Good morning in–laws,” Grey greeted with respect.

“Good morning,” Benjamin replied but Emma hissed and walked away.

Grey walked out nevertheless. Some of the maids were walking in when he came out. They walked past him without greetings, Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

One of the maids stopped in front of the door. “Look at him in a suit that Avery got for him. He‘s such a disgrace.”

“That‘s enough,” one shut her up.” You shouldn‘t abuse Avery‘s husband.”

The maids laughed.

“Is there really a difference between him and us? Does he earn more than we do? I bet we earn more,” one of them teased before they walked inside. 1

Grey heard them but they were the least of his worries at that moment.

Grey got to work very late because he had to eat at the cafeteria. When he walked inside, Jane was the first person he saw.

“Good morning, Mr. Grey,” she tried to smile.

Grey smiled at her. “Good morning,” and he entered his office, knowing fully well that he was going to spark rumors.

His phone rang suddenly and it was Aphrodite. He picked it up immediately.

“Hello, Novia.”

“Hi, Grey. Will you be available by four? I could send someone to pick you up, then return you to the company when we are done,” she suggested.

Grey thought about it for a moment. “This is cool. Let‘s do it that way.”

Grey spent the next three hours sorting files and receiving unending calls. Within hours, it was suddenly time for lunch.

There was a special cafeteria for J.k company that sold all kinds of meals ranging from the lowest to the highest

Grey walked inside the lunchroom and it looked as though the whole eyes turned towards him. He ignored them and walked to get hamburgers and fries.

“This is the man that came to work late today? Do you know he’s an office assistant?” A lady laughed and moved behind him in the line.

Grey looked back at her for a moment and caught her laughing.

‘I know that Jane didn‘t tell Mr. Alfred about it or he would have been fired already,” the lady continued as Grey went to an space, blocking his ears off the insults,

Though, it looked as though the workers planned it together.

“I don‘t believe I came late to work and Jane threatened to have me fired. Even the manager was so angry but Grey came late and Jane wasn‘t talking about it?” A guy said, a few seats away.

“I don‘t think the manager knew about it. Though, he should be aware of it now. He will definitely do something by tomorrow,” another guy explained.

“Seriously? You are an office assistant here?” A familiar voice said above Grey. He looked up at Cindy. He didn‘t feel surprised because he knew that Cindy had already been employed. He did see her when she came for an interview.

“How the fuck did you afford such a sumptuous meal at the reunion party if you work as an office assistant?” She sat in front of Grey and ate slowly.

Grey didn‘t look at her. “I was going to ask you why you are working here when you told us at the reunion that you would be traveling.”

Cindy went stiff for a moment and her mouth made a wry line of error. “I‘m anyways better off than you.”

Grey scoffed and took more bites from the Hamburger.” The last time I checked, what you did was called a lie.”

“Are you going to use the opportunity to abuse me?” She sounded upset already.” People are talking about you in this place and I‘m the only one who is bold enough to eat with you but this is what you will do?”

Grey ignored her and continued to eat.

“I‘m going to deal with you, Grey!” She swore, huffed, took her lunch, and walked away.

Grey went into the office for the little jobs that he left behind. Fortunately for him, no calls came in.

It was suddenly time to get off work. Though Aphrodite didn‘t call him but he knew that someone would really come for him by the exact time and he doesn‘t like keeping anyone waiting.

“Hey! Come closer!” Someone clapped as Grey stepped into the lobby. It was almost empty except for a few workers who were bundled together, gossiping.

“Do you know who Grey really is?” Cindy smiled.” He used to be a delivery man,” she laughed.

“Seriously? Was he a pauper?”

Cindy nodded slowly.” He was very poor and even had to beg money from his mates when we were in college

Grey was pulled to a stop by Cindy‘s words. Her words reminded him of so many things about his past. There were days when he couldn‘t eat because he had to pay his tuition fee. His years at college were the hardest moments of his life. Grey left the orphanage three years after he was found by the kind man. A tough decision that led him to where he was at that moment.

“OMG! I didn‘t know he was that poor!” One of the ladies grimaced as they pulled away as the gist was over.

Cindy was looking at him now, with a cold but satisfied grin,

Grey‘s phone beeped suddenly. A Rolls Royce was waiting outside for him, from Aphrodite. Grey moved towards the door.

“Hey, I said I would deal with you. Wait for it Grey, I will really do,” she swore.

Grey ignored her and walked outside. Cindy followed quickly so that she would continue speaking to him.

Meanwhile, as Grey stepped outside, a man was suddenly by the car door and holding the door open for him.

“Mr. Grey, can we leave?” The man inquired.

Cindy pulled to a stop, confused. The car was a very expensive one and it was even more surprising that someone was holding the door open for him.

Who the fuck was Grey exactly?
