Chapter 78: Wasted effort “You came home earlier yesterday,” Avery repeated as Grey made his tie. She was watching Grey with so much curiosity. He looked so handsome and had all the physical attributes of being a man but he lacked them mentally and he wasn’t even as rich as Chris. Avery would have never imagined herself getting married to someone like Grey. To that day, she still found the incident unclear.

“I was so tired,” he looked up at her. “I saw the ring that Chris gave you_”

“Very good!” She said quickly, interrupting him. “That should remind you that you didn’t even get me anything for my birthday.” Grey sighed. “You went out with Chris, remember? If you hadn’t, I would have given you something nice.”

to have you back as the head of the team. You are the CEO after all. And Smith would move in as the president. If you are not comfortable with it, then don’t bother about it,” he said, less concerned about how Avery felt. Emma was shocked. Lucy was currently making decisions that he had never taken.

breakfast was eaten in silence. Just as Lucy and Smith finished up and left, Emma turned to look at Avery. “And why will you reject it? Weren’t you sad that your grandfather took the position from you?” Avery sighed and looked up at her.
