Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Promise

Grey stared at the door for a moment. He didn‘t know exactly what Avery was angry about. Was it because he hasn‘t gifted her anything since they‘ve been married? Or was it because he lied about getting suits with his advance payment or because she thought he wasn‘t caring? He has questions but the answers elude him.

Grey spent the night in the maid‘s room. He got up earlier as he didn‘t want Lucy to find out. It could put him and Avery in trouble.

He knocked on the door but Avery didn‘t answer. He opened the door nevertheless and stepped in.

He stopped abruptly as his gaze settled on the view before him. Avery sat on the chair and was applying beauty products to her skin. There were headphones on her ears and it could be the reason why she didn‘t hear him knock the other time.

Grey was able to see Avery‘s flawless and long legs as she applied the moisture. She wasn‘t aware of his presence or so he thought because she suddenly held out the towel, revealing the beauty of her body.

Grey hasn‘t remembered the way she looked even though they had something together. He wasn‘t even able to remember the peculiar thing that forced him to be a son–in–law.

Grey wanted to look away. He should but he couldn‘t, he was dumb–struck.

The hand circulating the thigh stopped suddenly as if just acknowledging some tactical error. Like in slow motion, she looked up slowly. When her eyes met with Grey, she screamed and lurched at the towel.

“Look away!” She yelled, devastated.

Grey turned around like a robot, his face flushed at what he had been staring at.

The truth was that Grey doesn‘t love Avery and well, she doesn‘t love him as well. But, something was pulling them together now and Grey would stop at nothing to prove to his in-laws that he was capable of caring for Avery even though there would be no existence of love in their relationship.

After the betrayal of Nora, Grey doesn‘t even think he could fall in love. The only thing he was after was becoming a good son–in–law and also being able to unravel the mystery behind his father‘s death and also find the spy. Also, he needed a nice pretense if he really didn‘t want others to suspect he was Hercules.

“What the fuck did you think you were doing?” She snapped.

” I‘m sorry. I didn’t know you were naked. I knocked on the door but you didn‘t respond,” he rushed his explanation. Though, he wondered why he had to. Avery was supposed to be his wife, wasn‘t she?

“What if your grandfather knocks on the door now? What would he think if he sees me looking away from your flawless body?” Grey teased.

” My grandfather would never do that, dummy!” Avery remarked.” You should get out and wait for me. I will call you when I‘m done here,” she suggested.

Grey sighed. “Alright, but you should hurry up as I‘m going to work as well.”

“Don‘t dictate to me!” Avery yelled.

“Grey, open this door!” Lucy‘s voice sounded from the other side of the door.

Avery felt her heart increase its beat as she stared at the door.

“Is Grey in this room?” Lucy inquired.

Avery looked over at Grey for assistance. She wants nothing but to get on her grandfather‘s side and it

looked like Lucy was hell-bent on marrying her off to Grey. She would have to keep a low profile till she figured out how to go about it.

“Yes sir, I am,” Grey replied quickly, as he sensed the desperation in Avery‘s eyes.

Avery heaved a relief sigh at his response.

“Can I come in right now? I need to speak with Avery,” he seemed urgent.

“But grandfather, we are in a compromising position,” she said quickly.

Grey was forced to look at her. “What compromising position?” He whispered,

Avery made a sign of keeping his mouth sealed if he loved his life.

Grey sigh. “Yes sir, we are,” he said.

“You guys are naked? It‘s morning! What the fuck are you doing?”

Grey shrugged and gave Avery an i–told–you–so signal.

“But grandpa, we are just_,” she stopped suddenly when Grey‘s lips touched hers. His right arm snaked around her waist and pressed her body against his chest while his left arm held the towel in check. Before she could react, the door opened almost immediately and her breath w

“Oh, I didn‘t know you guys were this intimate,” Lucy apologized quickly. “Avery, I would like to speak with you quickly. I have an appointment this morning and you are coming with me!”

Avery pulled away from Grey quickly, though his arms were still holding her waist closer to him. “What? Appointment?” Surprise edged her voice.

“Let‘s talk this over during breakfast. Though, I only have a few minutes left,” and he left.

Avery couldn‘t believe her ears. Lucy wanted her to tag along. It has never happened after the incident with Grey and the heiress‘s position has been taken from her. It seemed to her that Lucy was about to rescind his decision. Though, she saw no reason why it would happen because the very person that caused the problem was still sticking to her like glue.

“You look overjoyed,” Grey smiled.

Avery was brought back to the mundane world by his deep voice. “What the fuck did you just do? Did you just kiss me! You dirty dumbass!” She screamed with disgust and pulled away from Grey.

Even though Grey hasn‘t washed his mouth or had his bath, he tasted nice in Avery‘s mouth. But she had no time to think of it. Instead, she went in for another quick shower, delaying Grey for another moment.

Grey didn‘t say anything. Instead, he patiently waited for her to be done. He somehow knew that he wouldn‘t be able to eat with Robinson. Breakfast would be gone by the time he was done.

When Grey walked into the living room, Lucy was speaking with Avery.

“J.K company is sponsoring a deal and they want you to be present as a prominent person of the company. Your presence is crucial to this contract,” Lucy explained. Grey smiled. Alfred was really helping him and Grey had promised to help her get her heir right.
