Chapter 28: The Auction

“Please,” the manager continued in a sober voice.

“You have to collect this card or I will lose my card,” he pleaded softly. Grey sighed and moved closer to him.

” Alright, give it to me,” he said with a smile. The manager stretched out the card and as Grey accepted it, he smiled as well.

“Thank you so much sir, thank you. I really appreciate it!” He expressed his joy.

Grey nodded severally. “Someone from Alfred is going to come looking for me, lead the guy in when he arrives.”

The manager nodded.” I will do that. Is there anything else you want?”

“Yes,” Grey nodded and moved to sit. “I‘m famished. So, just find me something great to eat. Also, will you help me to get something from the car?”

The manager laughed.” Mr. Grey, you can send me anywhere and I will gladly go. If it wasn‘t for you, I would be sacked already.”

Grey saw that he was really appreciative and didn‘t regret forgiving him.

The manager soon went out after Grey sent him to get the suit in the car. Grey was going to take a shower and get ready for the auction evening. The door soon opened and several waiters walked in, with different kinds of food.

Grey phone started ringing the moment the waiters had walked out. It was Alfred. “Hello, Alfred.”

“Is everything alright over there?” He inquired. “Are my workers treating you nice?”

Grey smiled. “Fine, Alfred. I‘ve settled already.”
