Chapter 168: success!
Grey walked to Linda. The open sale had ended and everyone had already packed to leave. “The Open
sale seemed to be very successful.” Linda smiled up at him.” Very, I never expected it. We only had a
few left. We exhausted all the vests and the caps, it was like they were all waiting for us,” she explained
happily. Grey nodded once.” It’s all due to our hard work and we will be paid for it. So, call the workers
together, there’s a little announcement.” Linda looked very excited. You could tell she was very tired, yet
there was this happy vibe she was giving
Within minutes, the workers had all gathered together and looked at Grey for whatever he was about to
say.
“So, I’m going to arrange with Miss Linda to send you something as an encouragement for being part of
this wonderful company,” he announced.
Everyone yelled suddenly, while some people clapped excitedly.
Grey raised his hand in order to silence them. “The open sale was a success which was a huge thanks
to you. But we must not relent as this isn’t what we actually want. We must reach the top in this area. So,
we will go back to producing by Monday, seeing that today is Saturday. So, let us all work hard,” he
studied their faces for a while.” But for now, we will enjoy our afternoon. There will be a treat for us at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt5stars restaurant. All bills on me!” He announced.
The revelation shocked everyone and they screamed in response, while also whooping in delight. The
happiness was too much to handle, in fact, some of them jumped up. Who wouldn’t be happy about 5star
restaurant? Grey turned to Linda. “I will leave the rest to you.”
Linda raised confused brows. “Aren’t you going with us?”
Grey shook his head briefly. “No, I’m not. I have something urgent to take care of. You guys can have fun
without me.”
Linda bowed slightly.” Alright.” Just as Grey walked away from the workers’ side, his eyes went wide in
shock at who was staring at him. Grey had forgotten about his plan with Caramel. Well, he also forgot
about the gym session that he planned with Richard.
Grey moved closer to Caramel. “Hi, how did you know I was here?”
“Well, I called you several times but you didn’t pick up. So, I went to your company and I was informed
about the open sale,” she explained.
Grey raised his brows at her. “Wait, how did you know about my new company?” Caramel smiled.
“There’s a magazine and TV promotion already. I thought you knew about it?”
Grey let out a sigh.” Yes, I do. I just didn’t expect it to be so popular within a few days.”
“Well, it looked like Protos Pubblicita held you in high esteem. I’m really impressed as well. It’s only a
matter of time before you actually get to the top.” Grey smiled at this.” Caramel, I’m so sorry for not
informing you about the open sale. It actually slipped my mind. Meanwhile, I planned on going to Alex’s
Gym today with you.”
Caramel eyes brightened up.” Should we go tomorrow then?” Grey thought for a while. “That’s cool. Yes,
let’s do that.” Caramel regarded him for a moment. “So, are you free now? Are you going home?” Grey
hesitated at the mention of ‘home’. The name actually reminded him of the fact that he would be signing
the divorce soon. And well, he wouldn’t be able to return to Robinson’s house.
“No, I’m not going home. I just want to hang around somewhere,” he stated.
“Then, let’s drive around. After that, we could go to the bar or the club,” she suggested.
Grey nodded.” I think a club would do but I will need to change my attire.”
“I will take you or did you come in your car?”
“No,” Grey thought for a moment and smiled as he remembered something. “Come, I need to show you
to my mother.” “Your mother?” Caramel raised skeptical brows. “I thought you were an orphan?” Grey
smiled. “Yes, I got adopted,” he led her towards the car where Beatrice was speaking to Emily. “Mother,”
he called and Beatrice turned to look at him.
“Grey, how are you doing?”
“Tired,” He said truthfully.
Beatrice regarded him for a moment. “I was coming to you. I heard from Linda that you wouldn’t be
joining us. Why?”
Grey sighed, creating a sad face.” Nothing. Oh,” he smiled suddenly, turning Beatrice slightly. “Meet
Caramel, a wonderful friend.”
Caramel stepped forward with a smile on her face.” Hi, ma’am.”

Beatrice’s smile widened suddenly, as happiness slipped into her. She pulled Caramel into a sudden
hug
“Mom, your clothes are dirty. She’s clean!” Grey protested and attempted to pull her back but Caramel
was hugging her as well, her arms around her and a smile plastered across her face. Grey regarded the
two for a moment, with a shake and a smile on his face.
Beatrice finally pulled back. “How are you doing?” She didn’t wait for her to respond before she spoke
again. “You are so beautiful.” Caramel blushed slightly, “Thank you so much, ma’am.” “Will you come for
dinner at my place tonight?” Beatrice said quickly. Grey turned to look at Beatrice, amazed by her weird
attitude. “Mom, stop it. We are leaving. Let’s talk later,” Grey rushed to Caramel’s side, turned her
around, and walked with her.
Caramel was still smiling, “But you should know that I would love to have dinner at her place.” Grey
laughed. “Seriously?” Then he remembered something.” Sorry, wait here. I need to get the password
from Mom,” and he hurried over to Beatrice again. “Grey, who is she? Your girlfriend or your crush?”
Beatrice sounded so anxious. “Just my friend, Beatrice,” Grey stressed.
Beatrice released a sigh. “I’m sure your parents would want you to get married soon,” she said suddenly.
“I mean you need to have someone in your life like your father had your mother,” she looked over at
Caramel.” Let her come to my place tomorrow.”
Grey stared at Beatrice for a while and wondered if he should tell her about Avery. Well, they are already
divorce. So, he shouldn’t rush it.
And he didn’t really want to discuss it yet.
