Chapter 391: Awake
"Are you for real?" Smith inquired anxiously.
Seth nodded briefly. "I'm telling you. I'm very sure at this moment that Grey is as confused as you are. I'm very sure he's going to lose this order."
"Of course, we own the order."
There was a soft knock on the door. The door opened almost immediately and the secretary walked inside.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you sir but Miss Maria is here from Protos Pubblicita," she announced.
Seth stood up immediately. "Miss Maria? Let her inside. We have been expecting her."
The secretary nodded briefly and walked out. It didn’t take more than a minute when the door opened and Maria walked inside.
Seth and Smith stood to greet her.
"Welcome, Miss Maria,” Seth extended.
Maria nodded briefly. "Good morning Mr. Seth. I don’t have much time here as I have a lot of things to do elsewhere. Can we round this thing up quickly?"
Seth nodded briefly. "That's fine. Smith will show you around."
Maria nodded again and looked at Smith in expectant.
Smith smiled. "I will show you then. Please, come with me," he walked out and Maria followed after.
They walked into the store that was filled with a lot of clothes racks. The racks were adorned with a lot of clothes ranging from tops to gowns and to trousers.
Maria's gaze searched around. "This place is nice."
Smith nodded once. 'This is to tell you that we are capable of handling the order."
Maria nodded once. "I see. This is a nice store. And I'm sure that Protos Pubblicita will make an excellent choice," she assured. "But I'm happy with this and I’m sure you would get the order."
Grey nodded. "Good. When the brands get here, you can make the arrangements. There will be a promotion so that this company can be exposed to people."
Rose nodded briefly. "I understand sir. In fact, I have a group of advertising companies that we can use. I just want you to decide so I can move ahead as fast as I can," she placed a file on the table in front of Grey.
Grey nodded again, pleased. 'This is good. I like your spirit. I will go through them and get back to you."
Grey didn’t want to use Protos Pubblicita because he didn't want to associate with it just yet.
Rose bowed slightly. "Alright boss." She muttered and walked out.
Grey's phone rang suddenly. It was Alfred. He picked it up. "Hello, Alfred."
"Hi Hercules, I have a piece of good news for you. Beatrice is awake,” he announced.
Happiness flooded into Grey immediately. "What!"
"Yes, Grey. She woke up a few minutes ago. Caramel just called me and I had to call you immediately."
Grey got up. 'Thank you. I will be on my way to the hospital now."
Beatrice shook her head briefly. "I’m fine for now. Thank you, thank you so much for caring."
Grey pulled a seat closer to her. "You don't have to thank me. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. You definitely don't know how happy I am that you are doing good."
Beatrice looked at him for a moment. "Have you seen Caramel? Have you guys spoken?"
Grey nodded briefly. "You just have to focus on getting better."
Beatrice released a sigh. "I’m sorry Grey. I didn't know it would come to that. I wanted to prevent the abortion. This was why I called you but you wouldn't give me attention."
Grey sighed. He remembered exactly when Beatrice called him but he was too busy to attend to her. Though he promised to call her back and he really did but her number was no longer available.
"I'm sorry for not attending to you in time. I was just so busy."
Beatrice nodded once. "It's ok. I also sent a message to Mr. Alfred but he didn't respond."
Grey smiled as he nodded. "I understand that. He saw it but it was too late and you don't have to bother yourself with me and Caramel. Just focus on getting better, alright?”
Beatrice nodded briefly. "Alright, but will you come over to see me tomorrow?"
Grey regarded her for a moment, unsure of what to say. He wanted to avoid Caramel as much as he could since that was what she wanted.
"Please, Grey. I want to see you tomorrow,” she held his arm into hers.
Grey nodded once. "Alright, I will but I want you to eat well and get better so you can leave this hospital very fast."
Beatrice smiled. 'Thank you.'
