All Chapters of Mr. Grayson: Billionaires' Club Book 4 : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Ah, I see. Well, then, Alex. I’ll be on the second floor if you need anything. Otherwise, Theo can help you with the stack of accounts and invoicing that I’m behind on. They’ll be moved to your new office. It’s got the best views of the alleyway. You’ll love it, I’m sure.”“Delighted,” Alex said. “Lovely to see you again, by the way. I look forward to you paying me back someday, also.” “Excuse me?” I asked.“You, me,” he said playfully with the most handsome smile, “that ex of yours and his girlfriend, who Jim had escorted out of his building this morning? It turns out her name is Haley Burns, and she was quite bold to show up to the gala without an invitation.” He watched my expression, and his eyes glistened under the lights of the room. “She and your ex practically snuck in through the back doors.” He slid his hands into his pockets, and his forehead creased in humor.“Escorted out of Mitchell and Associates? She was fired?” I asked, knowing my expression that always gave me away

“There’s a difference between worrying and finding errors in a final project,” I snapped.“Go deal with whatever it is Grayson’s doing to piss you off today.”You’re an asshole, I thought, knowing that Danny not finding errors on this project was the main reason I hadn’t even spoken with Alexander since he started making cuts. I was in this room, fixing this prick’s mistakes.Here we were with a deadline, and I needed to speak with Alexander since he moved in and turned into Ebenezer Scrooge—Satan style. Too bad it wasn’t Christmas, so he could be paid a visit by three ghosts. I’m sure the third and final, grim reaper ghost could give him a run for his money.“Bree,” Theo said. His voice was grim when it came from out of nowhere. “We need to talk.” My eyes were pulled away from Danny’s indifferent expression and turned toward my right-hand man, Theo.Shit. My heart sank after seeing Theo’s grave expression. No need to wait for the holidays. I’d play the grim reaper spirit and strangle

C H A P T E R T H R E EBREEAs soon as I walked out of Alex’s office and Theo’s phone went to voicemail, I was abruptly pulled aside by one of my architect designers on Sphere. Shelly insisted on talking to me, but I held a finger up when my phone rang in from Theo, and I answered the call.“Hey, are you in your office? I just spoke with Mr. Grayson, and he’s tightlipped about your future with Stone Company. We need to talk about what’s going on and what he said to you.”“In my office, but you need to talk to Shelly. She’s looking for you,” Theo responded.“She’s right here, and I will, but I need to talk to you first, Theo.”“Our conversation must wait,” he said. “Sphere just called me, and they’re pushing up the meeting to noon.”“Why wouldn’t they have called me?” I answered in confusion.“No idea. Something’s up. Are you taking Mr. Grayson with you to meet with them? You all need to leave right now if you want to make the noon appointment.”“Noon? You’re right. Something isn’t s

I rested my head against the seat. “What is going through my mind right now?”“Yes,” he answered.“Titanic.”“Titanic? As in that’s how monumental you see this mistake is?”“No, the ship that sank. You’re a numbers man, correct?”“Yes,” he said in a curious voice. “I’m now struggling to figure out if we’re building a ship and heading to a shipyard?” He chuckled.“Do you find this funny, Mr. Grayson?”“I find the creative mind intriguing, and now, you have my full attention. Please explain why you’ve questioned me being a numbers man while bringing up the Titanic. I must know what that has to do with a superlative ocean liner.”“Well, that’s what this entire project and everything in my vision will turn out to be if it’s built,” I said. “There’s no last-minute fix to these flaws in the design. It will look grand and beautiful yet flawed and built so damn cheap that it won’t ever be what it was intended to be. So, this reminds me of Titanic, of all the things I could compare it to. Tita

“He sunk your luxurious ship, of course. I have to admit, in watching you speak and study the errors in that project, I don’t believe I ever wish to see you this upset over your vision being destroyed by an ass that youtrusted again. That’s straight-up, fucking bullshit.”“I’m shocked you’re not firing both of us.”“See, I’m not the devil after all, am I?”“No, but you’re not to be trusted, either.”“That I can agree with you on, Ms. Stone.” He grinned. “Perhaps at a later date, you’ll learn you can trust me. I would hope my undivided attention during history class today would be good enough to gain your trust after I deceived you at the gala. I certainly did not think I’d wake up this morning, go out to this project, and become educated on the Titanic asit relates to signing papers on a multi-million-dollar deal.”“God, stop.” I smiled. “You sound like my dad. Funny story about me? I always brought up that ship when I saw design flaws in any of our projects.” I laughed at how I dro
