Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 166: The truth

Avery blinked once. “What?”

“You wanted a divorce, and I’m giving it to you,” he muttered.

Avery nodded briefly.” I’m glad. I will tell Grandpa about it but you should also see him and explain so it

wouldn’t look like a lie,” she explained. Grey nodded once, with a straight face.” No problem,” he turned

around and left. Avery noticed a change in Grey’s facial expression but she didn’t care, she was

supposed to be fast about it before Grey would initiate the divorce and make her look like a fool. That

aside, Grey must have thought that she wouldn’t find out about the assault issue and she was very much

disappointed in him.

Avery arrived at work and couldn’t wait to talk to Chloe about it. She wanted to know how she felt about

the decision she had just made. Sure, she knew she would be happy. She has always advised her to

divorce. It was recently that she started speaking in parables. Maybe she didn’t want Avery to use her as

an example.

Avery dialed her number. It rang severally but she didn’t pick up. Though, at a point. It felt like Avery had

rushed in her decision. She wanted someone to reassure her that it was very fine.

It didn’t take up to thirty minutes when the door jerked open suddenly. “Avery!” A thick voice boomed.

Avery looked up, somewhat surprised ” Is something wrong?”

“Have you seen the magazine?” He asked, with a magazine dangling in his hand.

“What is it about?”

Smith placed the magazine on the table and flipped through the pages. He stretched it out for Avery to

see.

“Why would Protos Pubblicita do this to us? We signed a contract with them. Why would he promote

another cream production? Why would he promote Grey’s company,” he announced. Actually, he had

announced it before he e knew what he said. Avery looked up at him, shocked. “Grey’s company?”

Smith sighed and leaned back. “Yes, you didn’t know that Grey has a company now?”

Avery shook her head quickly.” When did he start? How?”

Smith shrugged, “Perhaps you should ask him.”

Avery flared up.” How can you say that when you knew I had already requested a divorce?”

Smith shrugged slightly.” But he didn’t agree to it, right? Though, he amazed me these days. He had

always been submissive. But, if you leave it to me, I will definitely help you out. He would be forced to

agree like the first time.” Avery blinked once, lost.” He has already agreed. What are you talking about?

What first time?

And why didn’t you tell me that Grey has a company and what company is that?”

Smith regarded her for a moment before he slowly let out a sigh.” He got the company from Seth. He just

started today and in fact, the open day is today,” he announced. Avery blinked once.” You knew this and

you didn’t tell me about it?” “What difference does it makes? He’s not the best for you after all.”

Avery smirked.” You sure know the best for me, Smith,” she expressed sarcastically.

Smith laughed. “Of course, I do. Anyways, you need to inform Protos Pubblicita. The new secretary is

being stupid. I mean why would she sign a long-term contract with us when she would be promoting

another company?” Avery sighed.” Are you saying they shouldn’t promote other companies? Is that even

possible?”

” Then, they shouldn’t place it beside ours. With the way they did it, it was like they were telling the public

to go for Grey’s company instead of ours. It shouldn’t be,” he complained.

“I’m sincerely not going to do anything about it. I think you should leave it this way. I’m happy that Grey is

doing something with his life anyways. We should be happy for him.” Smith stared for a moment,

shocked before he burst into laughter.” What did you just say? Do you think Grey has a good future?”

“Don’t underestimate him!” “Pot calling kettle black,” he fired back.” You underestimated him too. What’s

the difference between you and me?”

Actually, Avery felt a twist in her heart at his words. He was right anyways. But for an unknown reason,

Avery couldn’t stop thinking about Grey.

“Though, he had nothing when you married him,” he hinted and sat. “Though he’s trying now doesn’t

mean he would succeed, he would definitely fail. Do you know that?”

Avery blinked, confused. “What are you talking about? What trick is up your sleeves again.” She knew

that her brother was at it again.

Smith laughed again.” Why don’t you leave that for me?” He stood up to leave.

“I didn’t underestimate him when we married,” she said suddenly, stopping Smith in his track. “I was

annoyed because of the circumstances involving how we married,” she looked up at Smith.” It was his

fault anyways that I had to get married at such time.” Avery blamed everything on Grey

Smith grinned. “It doesn’t matter, Avery. You hated him from day one. I actually knew you were not going

to change your mind about him, I know how your mind works Avery,” he said, reassuring, then he turned

again to look at Avery.” You should accept Chris’ request in time. He would make you liappy.”

Avery sighed.” If you really know how my mind works, then you should know that I’m being hesitant with

Chris.”

Avery had been thinking about it all day, she had been comparing Chris with Grey and finally realized

that aside from the money, Avery had no reason for staying with Chris. Somehow, it looked like Avery

liked Grey more than Chris The cheating news she heard was what

eventually made her think of divorcing Grey.

Smith felt alarmed.” Why?” “I’m just not feeling right with him. And I’m starting to see this in a different

direction. For an unknown reason, I don’t feel it was right for breaking up. Perhaps our meeting was a

coincidence, perhaps we were met to be.” She wanted Grey to accept the divorce but she didn’t want it

so soon. It felt as though Grey was really cheating on her. If not, he shouldn’t have agreed to it so fast.

No matter how much Avery thought about it, she couldn’t comprehend it. Though she wasn’t angry she

was just sad over it which doesn’t even make any sense. She should be glad that Grey was out of her

life already. “Seriously?” Smith was amused.” Are you kidding me? Is that meeting a coincidence? I

arranged the meeting and made you guys marry. I don’t see anything strange in it except the fact that

you are starting to think greedily.” “Greedy? Wait what! You arranged our meeting? How?”

Smith’s mouth made a twist as a tactical acknowledgment of an error. “I arranged how Grey got to be in

your room, Avery. Did you think Grey loved you or did you think you guys had something special? It was

arranged.”

Avery blinked, as shock took over her. “What did you just say?”

Smith shrugged slightly. “it’s over anyways. You might as well know about it.” He knew that Avery doesn’t

really like apologizing. She was really stubborn. There was no way she would do anything concerning it,

no matter how annoyed she was.
