Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 39: A request

Avery however was with Chris in a popular bar in the city. She doesn't like Chris but had to go out on a date with him because of her mother. She lied to Grey because she was angry at him.

Grey was not the kind of man she wanted and she wasn't even ready to get married but Grey forced her to. She had thought he was doing great at least until she heard that Alfred had fired him. And that got her so angry at him

She was his? They might be married but Avery would never be his wife. She was looking for the right opportunity to get her grandfather to approve the divorce

Avery Sipped the drink slowly and suddenly felt like going back to the comfort of her home. She felt tired and Chris's words were boring her already.

'I spoke with your mother, Avery and she would like us to date." he announced and looked up at her.

Avery regarded him for a moment. "I'm married, remember," she stressed

Chris chuckled, "I'm aware, alright and your mother is as well but we all know who Grey is. He's as useless as the dust bin and I can actually help you get away from him," he proclaimed, with a smile on his face.

Avery rolled her eyes She doesn't want Grey but she doesn't want Chris either. She just wanted to be single and enjoy her prime while it lasted

'I'm not interested, Chris, and I am married,' she hinted. I'm not going to be cheating while I'm married she stated

Chris sighed I like you so much Avery and that is an advantage for you. I own one of the biggest companies in the city," he boasted, "I invested so much in your business because I like you. Come on Avery! I can do more with you. I have one more company. We can sign a lot of contracts that will benefit your company. You seriously need to be with someone that knows your worth and not some useless orphan," he smirked

Avery doesn't like the insult that Chris was giving Grey" Please, be considerate. He lost his parents. you shouldn't abuse him with that," she opined She doesn't like Chris but she also didn't want to get on his nerves Chris signed an important contract with her company and she couldn't afford to lose it. So, she had to be choosy with her words.

Chris sighed and relaxed back into his chair. "You should give up on this guy, he's not worth the struggles."

Avery regarded him for a moment." I have to leave now," she announced politely.

Chris watched her stand. "Avery, do you know our contract expires this month? And you might need to sign another,' he recalled,

Avery's heart made a sudden thud at the announcement. He was right anyways. Avery's company needs Chris to survive

"Chris, I would like us to separate business from personal issues," she advised with the hope that he would heed

Instead, Chris stood up with a smile. "I will drop you home, then."

He didn't talk about the contract and Avery felt really weird. She seriously didn't want to lose his influence on her company Chris didn't talk about anything during the drive back home. But the moment he pulled up in front of the house, he turned to look at Avery "Don't forget that I own the contract and your decision will make or mar mine. Just rethink your decision.' he told her with a smile.

Avery nodded and opened the door. She had no intention of agreeing to his proposal but she also had to rethink her company situation

Before she could open the front door, it jerked open and she was suddenly staring at Grey Her heart skipped a thousand beals. She had been noticing how handsome he looked. He was poor, yet he was blessed abundantly with his look.

"What are you doing? She was skeptical She didn't expect to see him by the door

"Where are you coming from? What have you done? Where's Chris?" he rushed past her into the compound, hoping he would catch a glimpse of Chris ar his car

"What are you doing?" She asked again the moment he walked back to her

"Where is that bastard?" Grey yelled angrily, Chris wasn't only seeing his wife behind his back, he was doing it to his face which was so bad

"You will stop with that insult' Who are you to insult him." She yelled back.

Grey took a deep sigh. " I didn't call him a bastard for nothing. He was making out with my wife. Who the fuck does something like that?"

Avery sighed. I'm not your wife, Grey, and stop cursing." she walked past him inside the living room

Grey followed her quickly "Avery, how could you have a nightstand with a man while you are married?" He was more than furious

Avery stopped in her tracks. What' Have a night stand with Chris? Where did he hear from?

She turned to look at him, "What did you just say?"

Grey sighed and tried to steady his heavy breathing. He just couldn't imagine that someone was having an affair with his wife, a wife he wasn't even allowed to kiss talkless of having sex with her "Where did you hear that from?" Avery was skeptical

"Your mother of course. She bragged about it earlier

Avery knew it was what her mother could say but she doesn't care anyways

"And so what? She tried to show a calm expression. "We are not even married. Well, maybe we are but i don't see you as my husband and I never will!' She snarled.

Grey sulked immediately. He had already forgotten that he and Avery don't even share any romantic moments. It was just like he wasn't her husband. He was just a husband by name,

"But I'm still married to you, you should respect that. I actually respect you and I have never cheated on you. Why are you cheating on me?"

Avery scoffed. "Who cares if you cheat? Wait, why will you even cheat? Are you a real man?' she huffed." You seriously don't know your position in my life. You are not my husband and you will never be! Get that into your skuW! She yelled and turned to walk inside.

"You want a ring right?" Grey asked suddenly, stopping Avery in her tracks. "Then, I will get you one. I will prove to you that I'm a real husband and the best one you will ever find," he said with determination
