Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 163: Matters Avery watched Chloe’s expression. “Is there anything you want to tell me?” Chloe

sighed.” Nothing. But I just think you should sit and think about it deeply. This isn’t something you can

just decide on without proper thoughts.” Avery shrugged slightly.” What difference does it make

anyways? We all know who Grey is and how rich Chris is.”

Chloe moved closer as if she was scared of other people hearing what she was about to say.” Have you

ever thought of the possibility of Grey being rich?”

Avery stared at her, confused.” What do you mean?”

“Like maybe Grey is rich but he’s hiding it from you. Do you think it could be possible? Like he’s

someone wealthy and influential, you know anything can happen.” Avery burst into laughter.” That’s the

funniest thing I have ever heard. Of course not! Why would I think to such an extent? Grey is wretched,

poor but maybe he’s managing now. It’s not a day job to be influential, he has a long way to go.”

It was getting even late into the night. Avery entered the kitchen to get a cup of water. A figure suddenly

materialized in front of her and she jumped up in fear before she realized it was Smith.

“Hey, at least, you will whistle so that I would know you were there instead of scaring the wit out of me,”

she complained. Smith smiled.” You should be scared of your future with Grey, instead of being scared of

who is in the kitchen,” he teased.

Avery hissed and moved to grab some beer, instead of the water she initially wanted. “I don’t have time

for your babbles.”

“Yes, but you should think about what Grey is always doing so late in the night that he always comes

home at odd hours. Maybe, that isn’t such a babble.” Avery rolled her eyes.” Will you please stop?” “I

won’t, Avery until you see sense in all this. Why do you think I do pick up on Grey or you if it wasn’t for

the stupid son-in-law you brought home,” he insinuated.

Avery huffed.” Am I hearing right?” she turned to be able to look at Smith. “You’ve been treating me badly

even before I got married. What the fuck are you now talking about?” Smith gulped down the water in his

hand. “That’s because you didn’t get the message I was trying to pass across, Chris fell in love with you

years back but you wouldn’t even look in his direction, instead, you found yourself occupied with

something else. I had to make you feel threatened at work so that you would feel the need to fall in love,”

he explained and shook his head briefly.” You sincerely didn’t think I meant everything i said back then?”

Avery found herself laughing, “Are you kidding me? You sincerely want me to believe all that?

Smith nodded briefly.” Sure, it’s the truth,” he affirmed.

Avery sipped out of the beer. “Then explain what you did after you found Grey and me on the bed? You

could have kept mute about it. You sincerely didn’t need to tell grandfather about it! You did that and you

want me to believe all these explanations?” She accused him. Smith shrugged slightly.” It’s your choice

to believe or not. Just know that Grey isn’t the best one for you. You had better accept Chris before it’s

too late. That aside, he would really help the company. Imagine all these?” He revealed.

Avery thought for a moment. “Do you sincerely know what Grey does every night?” Smith smiled. “Why

should I? At least I’m not as irresponsible as he is.”

Avery sighed and walked out of the kitchen. She was already getting frustrated. Her phone rang

suddenly, jerking her out of her thoughts. “Hi, Smith?”

“Are you free? I just woke up and I wanted to go for dinner. Are you about to sleep? If you are, then you

shouldn’t bother,” he expressed in a low voice that showed he sincerely just woke up. Well, Avery was

starting to feel bored and she couldn’t even bring herself to sleep. Chloe was strangely reluctant to chat

with her. In fact, she left home quickly. And Smith was disturbing her at home. Being with Chris would be

the best. She didn’t even want to think of Grey at that moment. “I will be on my way now.” “Should I pick

you up?” “Can you do that?” “Sure, I will be there right now!” Chris assured and the phone went off.

Avery went into the bedroom for a quick shower. She got dressed in a blue dress that fitted her so well,

like a second skin.

When she walked out, Smith was in the living room.

“I thought you went to sleep.” “Don’t tell me I would have to inform you of where I want to go?” Avery

gave him a dirty look. “Now what, Avery? You will not give me such a look. I’m your brother!” Smith

scolded softly while reigning slight anger. “Then you should learn to mind your business at times. And

also, you are not my brother. I have no brother,” she muttered and walked out of the room.

Smith followed her quickdy. “Hey, that’s not how to talk, Avery. You are being very disrespectful,” he held

her hand to stop her from moving

Avery turned to look at him again. “Let me go, Smith.”

“Or what? Are you going to do something? Do you have anything to do? I didn’t even deserve an insult

you just allocated to me today. I only asked about you shouldn’t I know where you went or what should I

tell Grey if he comes in?” He explained

Avery huffed.” When do you start talking with Grey? Just why do you always make things hard?”

Smith sighed and slowly released Avery. “I’m only trying to b nice,” he said softly. “Please, don’t be. It

doesn’t even fit you,” she hissed and walked out.

Smith watched her for a moment before a smile formed on his face. His plan was working already.

Fortunately for them, Grey decided to come late.

Avery walked out of the yard and spotted Chris’s car from afar. A smile evaded her face as she walked

closer. Though, she wondered why Grey didn’t park in front of the house. She stopped suddenly when

she saw four men hovering over Chris who was on the floor and in their midst. At first, she didn’t know it

was Chris as she couldn’t see the person’s face. But almost immediately, he turned in her direction,

thereby revealing his face.

What was happening?

Avery didn’t even think much about it before she rushed forward. “Hey! What’s happening? Why are you

over him?” she yelled. “Stand up!” One of the men yelled suddenly. Chris managed to get up.” What is

happening here? Why are you assaulting me?” he fired back

One of the men smiled devilishly. “You still don’t know? Get inside your car and leave now!” he ordered.

“I am waiting for someone. I can’t leave until I see her.” Avery met up with him.” What’s happening

here?”

“Who are you? You must be Avery?” One of the men stated. Avery blinked once, then twice. “How did

you know my name?” She was shocked and wondered if they had been stalking her.
