Chapter 26: Letting the secretary know her place “Thank you!” Grey said into the receiver and dropped the call. He was starting to get tired of receiving calls. He stood up to get lunch. It was lunchtime but he had been receiving customer calls.
The only reason why he would reconsider his decision of telling Alfred to take him to another department was that Alfred provided him with an office, so he would have privacy.
He entered the cafeteria and ordered Hamburger with Americano. He settled down to eat, then remembered that he had left his phone in his office.
He hadn‘t seen Jane since that morning and he wondered what she was up to. Though, he knew that Alfred would deal with her accordingly.
Within minutes, he was done eating and decided to resume office quickly. Just as he entered the lobby, it was Cindy that he saw.
She was coming out of the manager‘s room. She stopped to look at him, shocked. Grey saw her but pretended as if he didn‘t.
She thought he didn‘t and inclined her head to another side. She used her hair as a shield as Grey walked away. He wondered however why she was there at that moment. Though, it was suspicious. If it was a normal day, Cindy would have come over to rant.
Grey opened the door and stared at Jane and Alfred. He wondered why they were waiting for him in the office.
Grey stepped inside and noticed that Jane‘s head was bowed towards Alfred. Also, her palm was over her left side. It looked like Alfred was scolding her.
“Welcome Grey,” Alfred greeted as he closed the door and moved closer.
Grey asked, and pretended that he didn‘t know anything. He moved
