Gray and Alice have come up with a system that works so well for him. She is his representative in almost all his business dealings, since he is almost never around, but since he has to be at some of the meetings to witness things himself, he has to go. He and William follow Alice to the meeting and stand by her side throughout the meeting. She speaks sparingly and Gray listens attentively, so when she says that she will go back and tell the anonymous trillionaire what they have discussed, he has made his decision already. Today is one of those meetings and Alice is putting on a black tuxedo and highschool shoes.As soon as she walks out, she is met by William and Gray, waiting for her. William smiles at her, taking her bag as they walk out. “Good morning, boss.” She says. “Morning, Alice.” Gray says. They walk side by side, and soon, they get to the car and William jumps into the driver's seat. Gray opens the door for Alice and she enters. He goes into the backseat with her

The last thing that Alice wants is to be at the world union dinner party. It's going to be for the most important people in the world, and she is here to represent Gray, since he won't be present. Alice looks into the mirror and sighs as she looks at the dress. Gray gives her a limitless card, so that she can buy anything she wants. It's not because she doesn't like the dress, it's because she has to go to the party with William. She doesn't like William, even though her boss said he is a good person and trusts him.To her, William is incompetent and doesn't fit into their category. He hasn't been trained as well as anyone on Gray's team, and she knows that if a problem arises, he is going to be a liability to them. She is waiting for that day to come, so that she can prove to Gray that William should leave.She hears a knock on the door of her hotel room, and she immediately heaves. She has been expecting the knock. She pushes her hair away from her face, and walks to the door.

The party goes on till midnight and Alice hates this. She hates parties, but she has to wait here till it ends, because the Gray corporation is going to be acknowledged at the end. Since she is having a terrible time, she keeps drinking the champagne, and this bothers William too much. When she reaches for her next glass, he moves it away from her. “Oh no, boss. I think you should lay off a little with the drinking. Maybe I should get you a bottle of water?” He asks calmly. He is trying to be nice and help her, but Alice snarls and slaps his hand away. “How dare you? I am your boss, and I'm going to drink as much as I want!” She huffs. He has no choice than to leave her. He is only worried because she is drinking so much, but she doesn't seem to be drunk.She is not going to be driving too, and he can make sure that she gets to her hotel safely. He should just let her be, but he snaps his finger at one of ushers and whispers to her not to bring anymore alcohol to their table…“

Even though the driver is trying his best to discourage William from leaving the car, he gently places Alice's head against the headrest, and he steps out of the car. As he walks towards the van, he takes off the button of his jacket. About eight men jumps out of the van holding different kinds of weapons in their hands. “Shit.” William mutters under his breath. He doesn't want to cause Alice to wake up, but these guys seems so serious. Even with that, he is very determined to handle it all by himself. “Hey, is there a reason why you are obstructing my vehicle from moving forward?!” He yells. “Are you Mister William? Do you work for the anonymous trillionaire?” One of the asks. “And what if I am?” William asks. The men look at each other with confusion. They were told that the anonymous trillionaire's representative is a woman, so who is this man?!“Go and get the lady!” The boss orders. “We have a message for her, and for her only.” “Yeah, that's not going to happen, buddy.”

Alice snarls when the thug won't speak. She pushes it deeper and the man whimpers in more pain. “Don't even think that I won't shoot you right now. Who sent you?” She barks at him. He motions that he will speak, so she takes the gun out of his mouth. “Please, don't kill me. We were only going to kidnap you and that we would get some money from the anonymous trillionaire, but this business man suggested that we torture you and get the name of your boss from you. He promised us a hefty sum of money, and we couldn't resist…” “The name!” Alice yells. She is growing impatient. “Daryl McFerrin. He owns a chain of companies that has gone downhill since the Gray corporation took over the world and ended his monopoly.” He shakes. “Please, don't kill me. Mister McFerrin asked us to do this.” Alice sighs, she knows McFerrin. He was one of the billionaires of the world, but his net worth dropped drastically once Gray started his own company. She can't even feel sorry for the man, because

She makes sure that they do not get up early, so that they can get to the venue before the wedding starts. As Stacy prepares, she remembers that she doesn't have her dress yet. Wendy looks at the clothes back, claiming that she doesn't think they suit her well, so she took them to her personal tailor to fix them. Stacy didn't see anything wrong with the dress, but she didn't want to argue with her cousin, so she allowed her to take the dresses. So, Stacy dressed very casually today, even though Oman is in a suit, and they get into his car. “Where is your dress, Stacy?” Gray asks with a frown. “It's with Wendy, I am going to change at the church.” Stacy smiles. Even though she is not willing to show it, she is very very worried because she hasn't gotten her dress. She tried to call W

Stacy prays for the ground to open and swallow her. They are all laughing at her, and she feels like crying. She turns around to leave, but some of the girls stand in her way. “Oh, Stacy, don't go, we are just joking with you.” They mock. “Won't you help the workers to wash plates for your cousin's wedding?” Another taunt. “Uh, I told you guys that my cousin hates me!” Wendy rolls her eyes. “I shouldn't be here!” Stacy rushes to the door. She is struggling to open it when Mrs de Nicola walks in and all the girls immediately go quiet. Wendy stands up in surprise, she didn't expect her mother-in-law to be here so early, she is supposed to be late. “Mum, hi!” Mrs de Nicola looks around with her nose turned up in displeasure. She can see the guilt in the eyes of the girls, she knows that they are up to something. She turns back to Stacy, and immediately recognizes her to be Wendy's cousin. Why is she crying? Stacy immediately wipes the tears from her eyes and bow to her. “Mrs d

Stacy doesn't know when she bursts into tears and falls into her husband's hands. She has lost count of the times when he has saved her. She would have loved to go home, she really would, but people who won't know the true story would think that she is a problematic person and doesn't want to be around for her cousin's big day. Gray wipes her tears and smiles at her,. holding her chin up. “Don't cry, you know how angry I get when you cry.” “I'm sorry I just assumed that this is going to be a bad day for me, but you have come and saved me once again.” She shakes her head. “I'm your husband. If I don't have your back at all times, then what am I doing?” He chuckles. The organ starts to play faintly, and they immediately know that the wedding has started. “I will step out and you change, okay? We will walk back to the church like nothing happened, and you will be fine.” He steps out and she turns on the water to wash her face very quickly. She takes more clothes and puts on a g

What he was popular for was that he was very picky about the models who wore his dress, and he was even more picky of those his dress gets sold to.

So Wendy is absolutely flabbergasted that her poor cousin is wearing his dress! She wanted devonté to make her wedding dress, he was her dream designer, but he didn't reply to her mails.

How can a church rat afford a devonté dress?!” The girls gossip behind her. Mateo pulls at Wendy's hand slightly, because she has been distracted and his parents are starting to notice. “I don't know what's so important that you are your friends can't wait till

“Your necklace is one of the most beautiful that I have seen in a long time!” Stacy is blown away that the girls that laughed at her before the wedding are all surrounding her. They want pictures, and they want to be her friends. She is very cautious of them, but what's all this that is going on?

Seems like getting the most expensive dress has worked and now, his plan has worked. Stacy has stolen the limelight from her cousin.

Everyone knows that devonté is very picky about who puts on his dress!” One of the asks, putting a glass of champagne in Stacy's hand. “Huh?” Stacy face stiffens. She has already read about devonté, the only one who even th
