Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate
Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Caught unawares Avery didn't know what to do, but Grey's words kept ringing in her ears. She knew there was no problem in letting him handle everything that has to do with Protos Pubblicita, why must her father appoint Smith beside her?

Avery sighed and looked over at Smith, who was talking with one of the workers in Protos Pubblicita.

"Here, the meeting would start immediately," one of the workers offered and ushered the team to the meeting room

Jane stepped inside with her team members a few minutes later. "Good morning, everyone. We will start the meeting immediately," she revealed and moved to sit.

She hesitated for a moment and looked up. "Mr Smith?" She called with creased brows.

Smith smiled." Good morning, Miss Jane."

Jane nodded once. "Well, good morning but we specifically stated who we want. We wanted Miss Avery Robinson."

"Sure, she's the team leader. I'm here as part of the representatives. We can proceed now if you don't mind," Smith urged.

Jane stood. "I'm sorry but that can't happen. We will have to start the meeting without you."

"What?" Smith boomed in a thick voice. "Yes, you have to leave Mr. Smith," Jane repeated. "What is all this about? Smith is here as part of the team. What has that got to do with the meeting?" Avery inquired. She might not like Smith but she loved standing in justice. "Exactly what you've heard, Miss Avery. We signed this contract in your best interest. We are not having Smith on the team." Smith turned to Avery." This was your work, right? You this spoiled brat!" He yelled in frustration. Avery sighed. "What are you saying right now? I know nothing about this." "Well, she doesn't. This came from Hercules," Jane confirmed. "You have to excuse us, Mr. Smith Robinson," and she signaled for the security to take him out. Smith released an exasperated sigh. He had never felt so embarrassed in his

entire life. "It's ok, I will leave," he got up. "Can we start the meeting, then?" He heard Avery initiate before he walked out of the room.

Smith felt a deep gushing feeling in him as he entered his car. He had no idea why Hercules would include something of that importance in the contract. It only made him keep thinking that Avery had a hand in it. Who knew, she could have bribed Jane to say what she did. And he was going to deal with her.

As he pulled out into the street, he dialed Seth's number. It was unavailable, even after several dials.

Smith wondered what was happening to him and decided to check him at home before going home that afternoon.

Nora woke up on the other side of the bed that morning. She felt very sad that Seth didn't get back to her the night before. The funniest thing was that he told her to wait for him.

Nora had slept off after several hours of waiting. And the first person she called that morning was Seth. But she couldn't get through to him.

The bell rang suddenly. Nora double checked herself in the mirror before she picked up her bag and walked out of the room.

"Nora!" Tracy called with a bright smile on her face. She noticed the worried expression on Nora's face. "What, why are you looking so grim this morning? Where's Mr. Seth? And what about the surprise?" She bombarded her.

Nora had called Tracy that night to give her a full gist of what Seth had told her. Tracy was her closest friend, by the way. Nora sighed, clearly disturbed. "I clearly don't know. I don't know why this has happened to me!" She maneuvered around the car and got into the passenger seat.

Tracy got into the car and looked at Nora. "Tell me everything. What is this all about? Did Seth break up with you?" Nora sighed again. "No, he just didn't get back to me. He told me to wait and I have been doing just that. His number isn't available and he hasn't gotten back to me. I'm kind of worried," she explained. Tracy thought about it for a moment." Has Seth done something like this before? Nora looked up and slowly shook her head." No, he hasn't. In fact, he picked up

my call and told me he had a surprise for me. He told me to wait for him, I told you everything, didn't I?" She raised a brow and waited.

Tracy nodded once." You did. Well, I don't think it's something to disturb yourself with. Seth is yours and would forever be. You have nothing to worry about," she assured.

Nora gave her a troubled expression." Are you sure?"

Tracy laughed." This must be part of the surprise. Seth is crazily in love with you, there's no way he would leave a sexy and beautiful woman like you," she complimented and pulled out of the house. Nora laughed." That's right. Who knows what the surprise would be." Tracy smiled." Perhaps a big diamond or something very expensive," she squealed. "You are so lucky, darling. I'm so happy you made that decision to leave Grey. He's not worth it."

Nora laughed. "I'm so glad as well. I'm sure Seth would be at the company now," she said hopefully. "Sure, I'm sure the surprise is at the company. I can't wait to share in your happiness," Tracy giggled. When they got out of the car, they noticed that the securities weren't at the post, which was so weird. Tracy observed the vicinity and smiled. "I said it, Nora. I said your surprise must be in the office. Seems like I was right." Nora smiled in gratitude." I'm so anxious about this. We should walk in quickly," she urged softly. As they stepped into the lobby, the first thing they noticed were the people clustered around. Tracy turned to Nora. "Don't forget, my dear friend, to request a promotion on my behalf." Nora chuckled." Never mind, you will be promoted really soon."

The crowd parted suddenly and Nora was really anxious about what Seth was going to give her. Maybe he was eventually going to declare their love openly.

But it wasn't what or who she expected.

"Isn't that Grey?" Tracy pointed out in shock.

Nora regarded Grey for a moment and wondered why he was there at that moment. Then, she felt a stab of annoyance. She didn't know why Grey always

showed up whenever she was having a nice time.

Without another thought, she rushed to the coffee table, made coffee, and hurried to Grey. Just as Grey would open his mouth to say something, the coffee spilled all over him. Everyone gasped.
