Chapter 19: The Code Grey got down from the car with a sigh. He had decided to push the thoughts to the back of his mind.

The security was complaining when Grey got down from the car but he decided to turn a deaf ear tohis complaint, and instead walked into the house He collapsed on the chair, tired.

Then, he remembered that he didn't have dinner and he was starving already.

A maid walked out suddenly with a tray of whatever.

She moved to the dining, placed the tray on the table, and turned to Grey.

“I made spaghetti Bolognese for you,” she announced.

Grey looked up, shocked for a moment.

It was the first time that the maid would be making his food.

Not when Smith was around.

Smith had warned him severally on that and Grey wasn't ready for confrontation.

“You did what?” He asked, shocked.

Perhaps, he heard it wrong.

“I made spaghetti Bolognese for you,” she repeated.

Grey’s mouth dropped open in shock.

It felt like he had entered the wrong house.

Or perhaps Smith set a trap for him.

He must be very careful.

"Who told you to make my food? I don't remember giving you that instructions.” “Yes, madam Avery said Ishould make it and wait till you are back so that I can serve you," she explained.

Grey was even more than shocked but he was very hungry that he didn’t even dwell on it too much.

Avery was being considerate all of a sudden and Grey wondered why.

The morning came even earlier than other days.

Just before Grey fell asleep, his phone beeped but he was too tired to check what the message was.

And that morning, he was in a rush to get to work that he forgot about the message.

Avery didn't speak to him that morning and he wondered why.
