77: Chapter 77

Chapter 77

Vernon was waiting inside his office for a while. He stared at the lunch bag, and whenever he opened the lunch bag, the delicious smell of food wafted under his nose, and his stomach started grumbling.1

"Ah, should I eat it now?" Vincent wondered. But it would be awkward if his big brother saw him eating, and Vernon definitely couldn't stop eating once he ate her cooking, plus banana milk. That would be heaven. 

He was already ashamed to be caught red-handed drinking banana milk by his sister-in-law. So he called Diamond and said, "Put this in the pantry and reheat it. I will eat after my meeting with my big brother."

"Meeting? In here, Sir?"

"Yes, in my office. He texted me just now. He's on the way," Vernon replied. "Be sure to be available at your desk. You can eat lunch later."

Diamond was stunned. This would be the first time for her to look at Vincent's appearance in real life. 

From what Chloe told her many times, Vincent was just as handsome and charming as he was on the TV. He looked so kind and gentle, but that was just the way for him to get what he wanted.

After all, he was the heir of the Gray family. He would be eaten clean to the bone if he didn't know how to control them. 

Diamond glanced at Mr. Phoenix Gray for a moment and realized that Vincent and Vernon must have similar personalities. They were brothers, after all.

"Understood, Sir. I will stay until Mr. Vincent Gray's arrival," Diamond said politely. 

"You shouldn't leave after his arrival either. You'll accompany me to my office during the meeting. I have a feeling that he would bring his secretary," Vernon said.

'And… what's wrong with that?" Diamond pondered. Bringing the secretary to a meeting was common, so she found nothing wrong with it.

But since it was her boss' order, she couldn't refuse and nodded.

Vincent arrived about an hour later. Diamond had already contacted the receptionist to give a proper welcome to Vincent Gray, so the young billionaire was guided by the receptionist until he entered the executive elevator heading straight up to the CEO's floor. 

Diamond was already standing about five feet from the elevator. When she heard the 'Ding' from the elevator.

Diamond lowered her head slightly to greet him.

"Welcome, Mr. Vincent Gray. Mr. Phoenix Gray has been waiting for you," Diamond said. She lifted her head, and her eyes met with Vincent Gray's, who smiled at her.

Like Chloe described, Vincent Gray was handsome— though he wasn't as physically good-looking as Vernon. He was a little shorter than Vernon but still tall nonetheless, knowing Vernon was at least 6'2". 

He was well-dressed and had a more posh and sophisticated image than Vernon, who had a more rough and wild exterior. 

Vincent Gray also had this aura that made people submit to him. Not because he looked scary and intimidating like Vernon, but because of his smile.

A gentle yet mysterious smile made you keep guessing what was in his mind.

It also had the power to make you feel reluctant to confront him because you couldn't guess what was in his mind.

Unlike Vernon, whose idea was printed all over his face. Maybe that was just for Diamond because she worked with Mr. Phoenix Gray the longest and knew many of his habits. 

But it was true that Vincent was very charming. Had it not for Diamond, who was used to Vernon, and also all the shitty things this man did through Chloe's stories, she might allow herself to be taken by Vincent Gray for a night. 

"Please this way, Sir," Diamond said, not wanting to stare at Vincent longer than this. Because she started to imagine everything that Vincent did to her homegirl Chloe. 

She guided the CEO to the office and opened the door, "Please come in, Sir."

"Thank you," Vincent said. He entered with his secretary, who looked at Diamond as if she was ready to kill. Diamond was a little surprised because she didn't notice the secretary before. She was way too focused on Vincent Gray.

Diamond entered the CEO's office the last and closed the door. She saw Vernon and Vincent sitting on the sofa, facing each other, with Vincent's secretary standing behind him.

Thus, Diamond walked toward her boss and stood behind Vernon Phoenix Gray. 

Vincent and Vernon stared at each other for a while until Vernon chuckled, then laughed freely, "Ahahahah! Big brother, why are we acting so serious?" 

Vincent chuckled as well, "Not sure, but I guess because we're accompanied by our secretaries. This reminds me of a formal meeting I usually had with other executives."

"Anyway, I'm here to give you the contract," Vincent said. He raised his hand and used his finger to signal Priscilla— his secretary, to put the file on the table. 

Priscilla's cheeks reddened as she stepped forward and gently leaned on the table until her cleavage was shown in front of Vernon. 

Priscilla had intentionally unbuttoned the first two buttons of her tight shirt before they entered the building, so she could show a little bit of excitement towards Vernon Phoenix Gray. 

Thus, Vernon saw her cleavage— and basically half of her boobs. The only thing that was left to the imagination was the nipples that were peeking. 

Though there was no need for all of this, Vernon already saw her fucking with Vincent, so no temptation was needed in the first place. 

Vernon only raised his brow when Priscilla stared at him for a moment. The edge of his lips perked up, but he said nothing as Priscilla almost jolted out of excitement when she stared at the hawk-like eyes behind the rimless glasses. 

Even the glasses made him look ten times more intimidating. The mix of sophistication and wild aura of a powerful man made her tremble in excitement. 

"T—This is the contract, Sir. Please… take a good look at them."
