Chapter 11: deals with the in-laws

He moved closer nevertheless. “I will take a cab,” he told him.

Alfred nodded in understanding. “I will see you soon right?”

“Oh yes,” Grey smiled. “I lost my job and I need another. So, I’m thinking your company can actually serve well by hiding who I am.”

” Great,” Alfred opined. ” You can come to P.K corporation tomorrow. I will definitely find a suitable position for you.”

” Thanks, I will leave then,” he announced again.

” Wait then,” he opened his car and retrieved a wine bottle. ” Here’s Diva Vodka and it’s worth one million dollars. I think you should give it to your in-laws since you will be seeing them for the first time.”

Grey took the wine bottle and handled it like an egg. Then, he looked up at Alfred again. “Thank you so much.”

Alfred flashed him a bright smile. “My pleasure, Hercules.”

He got a cab and left even before Alfred did. He suddenly developed sweaty palms while thinking about his in-laws.
