Fake marriage with you

Chapter 3: NEWS

*** It was the ringing of the phone, Maveric picked up his call "Sam?"

The person inside the phone seemed to be talking about something important and Avery saw Maveric's brow furrow.

Avery knew by the look on Maveric's face its not a good time to talk to him and leaned over the edge waiting for Maveric to hang up.

"Sorry, I need to go take care of something." Maveric's expression slumped as he and Avery explained "so we...?" Maveric spoke with a tone of anticipation, which made Avery lighten up as well.

"It's okay", Avery said, understanding "go ahead, it looks important."

Maveric smiled apologetically once more and turned his head in the direction of the downstairs.

Avery watched his back as he left. In the few minutes she had just spent with him, she felt that the man was gentle and he had left his number, so it looked like they still had a chance.

After the party was over, Avery directly took Monica's car back to her home. After taking a comfortable shower and lying on the soft bed, stretching out a big waist, she pulled out her cell phone and looked at the number that had just been saved. Her thoughts began to fly, thinking about what had happened at the party today, blushing so much that she hurriedly clapped her hands together in an attempt to lower the temperature a bit with her hands, muttering "It's not like this is some corny love story developing, why do I feel my heart beating a little faster?"

Maveric received a call from his assistant, an unexpected one he didn't expect.

"Boss, Mr. Brauen is now being resuscitated inside the hospital." Sam's serious voice came over the phone.

"You take care of it first, I'll be there later." Maveric didn't expect it to be so sudden, and hearing this news created another doubt: Grandpa's health test reports had been normal for the past few years, so how could he suddenly be admitted to the hospital with an emergency?

After the phone hung up, Maveric and Avery finished explaining and rushed to the private hospital. On the way to the car, his speed was not fast, thinking about the reason why his grandfather suddenly became ill.

Grandpa and he didn't really have much of a bond, and he hadn't seen him a few times since he was a kid, let alone spent any extended time together. The first time he saw his grandfather was when his dad brought him there, he still remembered that his grandfather was sitting on the sofa at that time, the time was already dusk, but there was no lighting inside the room. Maveric couldn't see the look on his face in the dim atmosphere, and he only nodded and let his father take him away without saying anything else.Maveric started learning about management and company business from a young age, and then started to work in the company. But the bond between him and his grandfather hadn't changed in ten years.

They are a family business, from the grandfather's generation has begun to prosper, originally is Maveric's father to take over the grandfather's business, but Maveric's father but because of an accident passed away, and grandfather only father this one child, and only he a grandson, so no matter how his relationship, Maveric as the only grandson's identity is to go to take care of the grandfather.

"Mr. Brauen's current condition is not promising and can only be extended for two more days."

Maveric replied with pursed lips, looking uninviting.

The company that Avery works for is doing very well these days, Avery is from a normal family, her parents are not rich and she got her job as a designer in the city through her own hard work and desperation. Although the job doesn't make super much money, the monthly pay still allows Avery to cover her rent and daily living expenses, so Avery is pretty happy with her current situation.

Today Avery arrived at work a little earlier than usual, and she grabbed her mug to go to the pantry to fill it with some coffee and come back for a pick-me-up.

"You know what? This news is all over the charts!"

When she reached the door of the pantry, Avery heard the voices of her coworkers discussing it.Avery didn't know what was being discussed inside, she hadn't been paying attention to the news lately.

Upon seeing Avery come in, one of the female coworkers immediately struck up a conversation with her "Hey Avery, have you been watching the news?"

Avery shrugged "No, I haven't been paying attention lately. Is it something that's been posted?"

"The chairman of the ELLIS passed away! It was this morning!"

"ELLIS ? Is that the company that's ranked number 3 on the global rich list? The one opposite our company?" Avery thought the name sounded familiar.

"Yeah! I guess that's the heir that's being discussed to take over when this information comes out. It's just a pity that the group is very secretive about this information, and there's actually no pictures on that internet." Female coworker Anna felt very regretful "I really want to see the heir's appearance oh, maybe very handsome!"

"Well, these things have nothing to do with us little people at all, you gossip after you go back to work." Linda, a female coworker who had been standing next door without making a sound, said to Anna.

Avery smiled, took out his cell phone and opened the list to look at it, indeed the above are particularly hot, said about the ELLIS Group chairman passed away of the news.Avery sipped a mouthful of coffee, refreshed his thoughts, walked back to the workstation ready to start working.

Because of his grandfather's death and the company's business turmoil, Maveric, who had dealt with all sorts of things in the past few days, was still on the traveling road. The doctor's words that day served as a reminder to Maveric to organize his work pace in these two days. The grandfather had indeed passed away two days later. Now he was waiting for the lawyer to notify him about his estate, he was determined to win the estate, after all, he had no intention to donate, and Maveric was the only one who was related to him, so Maveric had a lot of confidence in this.

Looking at the road in front of him, his hands gently rubbed on the steering wheel, the cell phone in the corner of his eye still didn't have any messages or incoming calls.

When exactly are you going to contact me?

Maveric was curious.

I'm looking forward to it.
